Direct answer
The working number is $5–$14. Across the 6 amounts published for Floyd's 99 Barbershop Locations and Availability, the middle of the range sits at $10, the cheapest documented line is $0 and the highest is $14.
The menu price is seldom the checkout price. Tax and gratuity alone typically add 24% on top of men's haircut, before any add-on is accepted at the chair.

The numbers that matter
- $5–$14 is the working range for Floyd's 99 Barbershop Locations and Availability, from 6 documented amounts.
- The full documented set spans $0–$14 once fees and add-ons are counted.
- The U.S. national median for men's haircut is $43 per cut.
- Add about 24% to any menu price for sales tax and gratuity.
- Maintained every 4 weeks, the annual cost is around $671.
- The largest single variable is cut versus cut-and-style — a finished blow-dry is a separate line on most chain menus.
Official published amounts and what each covers
These 6 lines come from published sources and are grouped by what they actually are. Mixing a cancellation fee into a service price list is how misleading "average" figures get made, so they are separated here.
| Line | Published | Midpoint | Spread | What it covers |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| First haircut reduction | $5 | $5 | — | ManCave for Men |
| Bang, beard or undercut trim | $10 | $10 | — | Douglas J Student Salon |
| Haircut and blow-dry | $10 | $10 | — | The Salon Professional Academy |
| Child haircut | $12 | $12 | — | Summit Salon Academy |
| Kids haircut starting price | $14 | $14 | — | JCPenney Salon |
| Line | Published | Midpoint | Spread | What it covers |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Published haircut example | $0 | $0 | — | Douglas J Student Salon |
A price documented for one location does not establish a national rate. Check with the location you intend to book.
What the same service costs across the U.S. market
None of these figures belongs to a brand on this page. They describe the wider market, which is what you need in order to judge a quote rather than just accept it.
| Service | Market low | National median | Market high | Unit | What drives it |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Men's haircut | $18 | $43 | $75 | per cut | Barbershop and men's-chain cuts; clipper work only sits at the low end. |
| Women's haircut | $28 | $69 | $140 | per cut | Typically includes consultation, shampoo and a finish style. |
| Kids' haircut | $15 | $27 | $45 | per cut | Under-12 pricing; some chains cap the age at 10. |
| Wash & blowout | $35 | $55 | $95 | per service | Wash and style; length and thickness drive the top end. |
| All-over single-process colour | $65 | $105 | $190 | per service | All-over root-to-tip or root retouch on virgin hair. |
| Partial highlights | $85 | $135 | $215 | per service | Crown and face-frame foils. |
| Gloss / toner | $30 | $55 | $95 | per service | Demi-permanent refresh, frequently added to a cut. |
| Deep-conditioning treatment | $20 | $38 | $70 | add-on | Bond builder or mask, typically added to colour. |

What men's haircut costs in your metro tier
Location is typically the largest single variable. The national median for men's haircut is $43; the same appointment can land near $30 in a small market and $75 in a top-tier metro. That is a 2.5× spread on an identical service name.
| Market tier | Planning range | Multiplier | Example markets |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tier 1 - highest-cost metros | $58–$75 | 1.35–1.75× | Manhattan, San Francisco, Boston, Seattle, Washington DC, Miami Beach |
| Tier 2 - large metros | $47–$57 | 1.10–1.32× | Chicago, Los Angeles suburbs, Denver, Austin, Atlanta, San Diego, Portland |
| Tier 3 - mid-size metros | $40–$47 | 0.94–1.10× | Columbus, Kansas City, Charlotte, Nashville, Phoenix, Indianapolis |
| Tier 4 - small metro and rural | $30–$40 | 0.70–0.93× | Smaller cities, county seats and rural markets |
Your own market may sit between tiers. The point is the 2.5x spread, not the precise figure in any one row.
Where the extra money goes
Ask about these when you book, not at checkout. All of them are easier to decline before you arrive than mid-appointment.
- Location cost band+10–40%
Identical franchise menus differ between metros.
- Cut versus cut-and-style+$12–$35
A finished blow-dry is a separate line on most chain menus.
- Shampoo service+$5–$15
Regularly optional and charged in addition to the cut.
- Stylist seniority+$8–$25
Designer or senior tiers sit above the base rate.
- Add-on conditioning+$10–$30
Offered at the bowl and easy to accept without hearing the price.

What men's haircut costs you over a year
Most budgets break at the cadence, not the price. Men's haircut maintained every 4 weeks works out to roughly $671 a year once gratuity is included.
| Provider level | Per visit | Visits/yr | Service spend | Gratuity | Annual total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Budget provider | $18 | 13 | $234 | $47 | $281 |
| National median | $43 | 13 | $559 | $112 | $671 |
| Premium provider | $75 | 13 | $975 | $195 | $1,170 |
Gratuity is included at 20% because it is effectively compulsory. Deduct it if you track tips apart from service spend.
Before hunting a reduction, check the cadence. Going from 13 to 10 visits a year keeps approximately $134 in your pocket at the same quality of work.
Gratuity, converted from percentages into money
Two rules do most of the work: tip on the service before tax, and tip the person who performed it.
| Gratuity rate | On $18 | On $43 | On $75 | When it applies |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 15% | $2.70 | $6.45 | $11.25 | Standard for a satisfactory service |
| 18% | $3.24 | $7.74 | $13.50 | Common default in mid-size and large metros |
| 20% | $3.60 | $8.60 | $15 | Typical for a stylist you intend to rebook with |
| 25% | $4.50 | $10.75 | $18.75 | Reserved for complex colour, long appointments or a rescue job |
- On a $43 service, the gap between an 18% and a 20% tip is $0.86. It matters less than whether you tip at all.
- Holiday tipping is a separate convention from per-visit tipping and is generally a one-off larger amount.
- Card tips may be pooled or delayed to the next pay run. Ask if you want it to reach one person directly.
- If the salon owner performed the service, tipping is optional by norm - though rarely refused.
Mistakes that cost real money
These are the errors that show up repeatedly in pricing complaints. All of them are fixed by a single question before the service starts.
- 1Not checking the location menucosts $8–$25
Franchise prices vary between neighbouring stores.
- 2Ignoring the brand appcosts $5–$15
Chain apps run standing offers the walk-in counter does not mention.
- 3Accepting the conditioning upsell blindcosts $10–$30
Offered at the bowl, priced afterwards.
- 4Assuming the advertised price includes shampoo and stylecosts $12–$35
Most value menus price the cut alone.

Seven questions that prevent a surprise bill
You do not need to negotiate. You need the price to be stated before the service starts. These questions do that without any awkwardness.
- "What is the exact price for men's haircut at my hair length and density?"
- "Is there a first-visit offer or a package rate I should know about?"
- "Which provider tier is that quote for, and what does the next tier up cost?"
- "Can you email or text me the quote before my appointment?"
- "If I join the membership today, is there an enrolment or annual fee on top?"
- "What is your cancellation window, and what is the charge if I miss it?"
- "Is removal of my existing product included, or is it a separate charge?"
At checkout: check the itemised total against the quote before paying. Corrections are simple at the desk and nearly impossible afterwards.
From menu price to what you actually hand over
Every line below is normal and expected. None of it is a scam — but almost none of it appears on the menu board either.
| Line | Amount | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Base service | $9 | The line you see on the menu |
| One typical add-on | $8 | Accepted at the chair without a stated price |
| Subtotal | $17 | Before tax and gratuity |
| Sales tax at 8.1% | $1.38 | Varies by state and city; services are taxable in some states only |
| Gratuity at 22% | $3.74 | Calculated on the service, not on tax |
| Realistic total | $22.12 | 146% above the menu price |
Worked at a $9 base with one add-on. Swap in your own quote and the proportions hold.
Plan for the total, not the base. The $13 gap between the two is the part people forget when comparing two salons.
You can work this out for your precise service rather than doing this by hand.
How this compares with the alternatives
Before deciding, it is worth seeing where this lands against the nearest alternatives on both price and what you get for it.
