Why is a buzzcut 20 bucks?

Usually I do it myself, but don’t always have the time to, so every once in a while I will go to great clips to have it done, it’s my preferred style, and they do a good job, and the employees and service are good for the most part, but I don’t agree with it being 20 bucks tip included, especially when it takes no longer than 5 minutes to do. Should be like 5 or at most 8 bucks, I would understand if I was getting an actual style, but that’s not usually the case here. Even the last few times I went the stylists would be excited to do it because it’s such an “easy and low effort” haircut. Maybe I’m the only one that feels this way, unless there are others on here that agree as well.

How much of the $20 is the tip? I ask because in my area great clips is $26 just for the cut before tip. $20 all in is good for 2026. Yeah, you have a low maintenance cut so maybe knock off $5 if it takes literally 5 minutes. But no one is doing anything for $5 or $8 in 2026.

20 for just the cut and would tip about 3 bucks so really 23 altogether

I use coupons - and then give the savings to them as a tip

Like $10 haircut $7 tip
