What's going on, Albuquerque?

$25 Men's Haircut

I don't need no fade, buzz, spike, crew, caesar, mohawk, texture, Donald Trump ... you get the picture?

I don't color. My hair is very fine and straight. I'm not balding.

What I need is a competant hair cut for $25 - $30 including tax and tip.

Every haircut I have had in the 18 months has been a disaster. Its grownout for four months since the last one, someone asked me if I had had a brain operation and had to have part of my head shaved. I have listened to friends' suggestions for cutters around town ... my mistake. I have paid more than $25.00, that doesn't seem to make a difference. Over the last several years when I have found someone, they invariably leave town.

I'm open to suggestions, please.

I had a hard time finding a reliable, consistent, and inexpensive haircutter in town as well. Check out Hairs To You, Montgomery at Carlisle, best I've found.

$8 haircuts at UNM campus in the basement of the student union.

That seems like a bargain, but I'm not a UNM student / alum ... if it would make me look 18-22 again it would be cheaper than a "lifestyle lift" ( not that I would have that done ... seems like too many complaints about it ... at least hair grows back )

I have not had time this week to make a pick from the hat, so other suggestions are still welcome.

You don't have to be an alum or student at UNM to access the UNM campus haircuts.

I don't know what part of town you are looking at but Da Shop in the south valley is great. You can get any type of haircut you want. $10 + tip. Barbershops are cheaper and better than these hair salons in town. My opinion

If you want a nice, quiet old-fashioned 2-chair barber shop, I recommend Park View Barber shop, 629 Amherst Dr NE, 268-9292. It's near Nob Hill, just South of Lomas and a block West of Carlisle. My husband and I have been going there for many years. I've seen Dick Knipfing there. A wash, cut, and blow dry is $20, and you can usually get right in. They are open 7 am to 3pm Tuesday - Friday.
