I use to visit a barber twice a month to maintain my hair. The total time cost was 5 hrs/month, and a cost of $50/month. Now I shave my head 3 times a week. The total time cost is 8 minutes a shave, or 1.5 hours/month and a cost of $10/month.
The 3.hrs/month and $40/month extra is nice, but I wouldn't recommend it to someone as a productivity hack.
- thunfischbrot 9y agoWhat kind of hair "maintenance" are we talking about? My admittedly low-maintenance hair style takes one visit about every two months and costs ~20USD each. Just wondering whether this is a case of both different hair styles and different local barber pricing, or whether there's more to it.
- lev99 9y agoI had a stylish haircut. It included using both a razor and scissors. The haircut looked significantly worse if it grew 1cm and noticeably worse at .75cm. My hair grows about 1.4cm/month. I bundle style, hygiene, diet and exercise together in a group called "appearance" and find investments in this category valuable for non-malicious social engineering.
- lev99 9y agoI forgot to factor in combing, washing, and drying. The time saving is closer to 5hrs/month and $45/month. It's kind of crazy how I forgot people have to comb their hair.
