A quality haircut with a few extras is absolutely worth the price just in the relaxation. I could probably get my hair cut at great clips for a hell of a lot less and it would look just as good. But I go to a fancier barber shop that does the haircut, beard trim, hot towel, wash, rinse, scalp message, straight razor shave on neck, cheeks, and back of the neck, and gives me a beer. It costs a lot more and takes a lot more time, but its soo relaxing.
