I too only get my hair cut but once a year.. Its pretty long, but its usually less than $15 . if she was ok $2 if she did a really nice job then $5 but hardly ever more than that for a cheapo cut.. Hubby always gives $5 but hes not a singles kinda guy- he leaves the ones and change on the dresser- Fine by me! it all adds up..
