I’m a guy and I have one every 2 or 3 months. But at work I think some guys have one more than once a month because they look groomed all the time.

PS: I trim my beard once a week. I’m talking about haircuts specifically.

    Around 2004 for my last hairdresser haircut, and about twice a year I take a hand span off the end myself. I have my hair long and I eat a lot of protein so it grows quickly.

    Beard on the other hand is weekly or thereabouts.

    Once a month.

    It’s actually become a bit of a self-care routine because I go to a Turkish barbers who’ll also do ear hair burning off (nowhere near as intense as you’re imagining), noise hair waxing, and a hot towel cut-throat shave.

    I actually like the sensations from them all and I walk out feeling clean and fresh, gives me a monthly little boost of confidence.

    Almost never. I had long hair in high school and chopped it senior year due to this thing I was doing yearbook picture wise. Took years for it to grow out and this is where I made the big mistake. For versatility I went with a mullet because of I could throw a pony tail into my collard shirt and look all conformy. As I aged my hair grew slower and slower and it never grew all that fast to begin with. At this point my wife will clean me up before an inteview or such but otherwise I don’t get it cut.

    When I was doing sales, every 2 weeks. Now that I don’t ever see a client, I buzz cut once a year. Might go 2 years this time so I can be a proper Gandalf for Halloween.

    I would only cut my hair once a month or later if not for the neck hair. I get a cut once that shit becomes too long.

    Buzz it down with no-guard clippers twice a week. Sometimes shave it complely, but not often. Trim the beard when it gets itchy.

    Whenever my wife complains I look homeless and is willing to spend 20 minutes cutting it for me.

    Which is roughly every 2-3 months I think. It’d be less often if I didn’t have a wife and had to pay someone to do it, that shit gets expensive.

    Depends on the style I’m going for, when my depression isn’t an issue anyway.

    In recent years, every month or every 2-3 weeks if I want to appear more groomed. I’ll be getting another mohawk (I used to be a fan of them) this year, which would require shaving the sides every two days.

    Our male apprentices, especially when they are eager to “score,” have a haircut 2-3 times a month.
    Then again, they also take their cars to the big car wash every single week, and meticulously vacuum the interior afterwards.

    I cut my own hair every weekend. I’m in the military, though (and no, I don’t just shave it). I found that I do it more to my liking (and consistently) than the barbers I’ve gone to, it only takes 20 minutes, I don’t have to pay $30, and I can shower immediately after. I use a 6 (3/4 inch) on top, a 3 (3/8 inch) around the curve transitioning to the sides, and then fade down from there, 2 to 1.5 to 1 and finally .5 (1/16 inch) around my ears, side-burns, and most of the back. Keeps everything clean, I always look good, and I spend about $40 every year or two.
