幼儿园的时候剪个头就是2块钱,板寸,剪完了会从大人手里接过2枚硬币递给理发师傅。


现在,别说北京上海,光是杭州的小区理发店都要80-120。


一家店面不大的理发店,几乎全都是“资深发型设计师”,其中不乏“设计总监”。


充完一千块,拿着会员卡,我有一种站在“消费升级”潮头的错觉。



我想知道,大洋对岸,理发这种每个人都定时要做的事情,要花多少钱。


➤ I used to get mine done once every 2 months and I paid around £12. But recently I found a great stylish place that does a beautiful job with my hair and charges me £40. And the way they do it, I have to get it done once a month.

我以前是每两个月花12英镑剪一次头。不过最近我找到一家蛮不错的理发店,剪得很好,收费40镑。他们那样的剪法儿,叫我不得不每个月去一次。


➤ About every six weeks, pay $30 (plus a $5 tip). I’ve had the same barber for half my life. He also doubles as my therapist. I love you, Hector.

我每6个星期剪一次,花费30刀(另外还给5刀小费)。我这半辈子都是用的同一个理发师,他还是我心理医生。爱你,赫克托。



➤ I've been going to the same barber for almost 20 years. When that man retires, the most consistent relationship I've had will come to an end.

我20年来都是去找同一个师傅给我剪。如果他退休了,我这辈子最持久的关系就终结了。


➤ This is exactly the same for me. My barber has helped me through some tough times, just by being there to listen to me when I speak. The fact he keeps me relatively handsome is an added bonus.

我也是这样!我的理发师和我共渡了很多难关,他愿意听我吐苦水。给我弄好看点不过是意外收获罢了。


➤ I keep going back and forth between getting a basic $15 haircut at the local barber and a $40 one at that chain shop, where you also get a nice head/neck massage and hot towel treatment with the haircut. The $15 haircut is all I really need but it's nice to pamper myself a little and turn it into a relaxing hour away from the world.

我老是变来变去,有时候在附近理发店花15刀剪一下,有时候又会去连锁店剪个40刀的,那个地方还会给你按摩头和脖子,剪头的时候用的也是热毛巾。其实吧,对我来说剪个15块的就足够了,但是偶尔纵容一下自己对自己好点儿也没错,就当是放空自己一小时吧。


➤ $45, including tip. Sometimes $35 if it is a touch up. Not only does he do a good job, but it is also a convenience. At this point in my life, I will gladly pay more for convenience. It is across my street. Barber has offered to come to my house and cut my hair before. Guy knows exactly what he is doing and depending on the mood either we don't talk at all or we chat it up. So to me the amount is completely worth it. I also get compliments on my hair, which is nice.

45刀剪一次,包括小费。有时候如果只是修一修,就只要35。我的理发师不仅剪得好,而且提供很多方便。我都这把年纪了,花点钱买方便什么的我很乐意。理发店就在我家对过儿。理发师他也会上门服务。他清楚地知道怎么剪,看情况,有时候我俩不讲话,有时候也聊上一会儿。对我来讲,这价格挺值当的。也有人夸过我发型好看,挺好的。
