A haircut costs about PS5-15 in a barbershop, but it may cost anywhere from PS20-100 (or more) at a hair salon, depending on what you get done and whether you go to a high-end salon. A cheap haircut will usually cost around PS150-400 for a basic style. A luxury hair salon can charge up to PS1000 or more per head. When you go to a barbershop, they will always ask you how long you want your hair cut before they start cutting it. They might even have some free-hand drawings that you can look at to see what kind of shape you want your hair in. Then they will use a razor blade to slice off small pieces of your hair and throw them away. This is called "shearing" and it makes your hair easier to manage later. After shearing, the barber will discuss any special requests with you and then cut your hair according to what you told him/her. At hair salons, they will also ask you how long your hair is before they start cutting it. But instead of shearing your own hair, they will use special tools to section off different lengths of hair and then attach them together at the back of your head in a sort of braid. There are two main types of braids: single and double.
