I think a hair cut was like $1.25 there.       > The last real hair cut was on my trip in Del Rio, TX and it was $20!              We had same, but farther out, in the big city, $6 for a men's cut, but they        don't do men'sa any more (not enough interest, & too few students do that add-       on to their hairdressing/beautician course); probably cheaper for seniors, &        free if you're selected to be a model (test case for a supervised student       donig an exam)              I had that once. Was another private school used to give free cuts (none of        that during covid that I can tell); they're he ones that Justin Trudeau       always stopped in at when in Vancouver for a $400 cut/style!              I used to advertise that one in my local Freecycle group to get them more        'models.'              Schools don't want me now that I prefer my pate to be utterly nude.       --- BBBS/Li6 v4.10 Toy-5        * Origin: The Rusty MailBox - Penticton, BC Canada (1:153/757)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 15/0 30/0 80/1 90/1 103/705 105/81 106/201 120/340       SEEN-BY: 123/131 124/5016 129/305 330 331 134/100 153/105 135 141       SEEN-BY: 153/757 7715 154/10 203/0 218/700 221/0 1 6 226/30 227/114       SEEN-BY: 229/110 206 307 317 400 424 426 428 452 664 700 240/1120       SEEN-BY: 240/5832 266/512 267/67 280/464 5003 282/464 1038 292/854       SEEN-BY: 301/0 1 101 113 123 317/3 320/219 322/757 335/364 341/66       SEEN-BY: 342/200 396/45 423/120 460/58 633/280 712/848 770/1 920/1       SEEN-BY: 2452/250 5020/1042 5058/104       PATH: 153/757 280/464 301/1 229/426           |
