I hear you. I've been boycotting to get a cut for like 6 months. Prices went from ~15 EUR (two years ago) to 25-40 EUR and that's basically for a clipper cut. Though I have a cheap clipper, it sucks. Thinking about getting a professional one even if that costs a bit more. They last years. But yeah, it's not worth it any more. Not for that price with my hair.
