4x4bob Posted April 1, 2019 #1 Share Posted April 1, 2019 End of summer this year we will be going on a 30 day cruise. Normally I get a hair cut and beard trim just before we go. However, after two weeks I will look like I lived in the mountains all summer trapping beaver or something. 🤠 And, the Wife will want us to have photos taken on formal nights since that will be one of the few times she can get me to wear a suit. Stopped doing that after I retired. So, my question is. Who do I see or where do I go to get a hair cut and beard trim on a Ship? We will be on the Emerald Princess.

cruiserdru Posted April 1, 2019 #2 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Try the Beauty Salon on Deck 16 forward. Might cost you an arm and a leg. Are you stopping at any ports where you might have access to a Barber?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking that I could use the time on ship since we will have lots of at sea days. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsJJ Posted April 1, 2019 #4 Share Posted April 1, 2019 My husband got a hair cut and beard trim on our Baltic cruise. He looked great and the cost was negligible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiserdru Posted April 1, 2019 #5 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Glad to hear that, MrsJJ. I had a haircut on our extended Princess cruise a few years ago and it was not inexpensive. Wasn't sure how they handled the guys. 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jondfk Posted April 1, 2019 #6 Share Posted April 1, 2019 I actually plan my hair cuts / beard trims to occur shipboard when possible. Generally, there is a "Mens Special" which includes a haircut & shave (the latter can be converted to a beard trim) for something like $69. That's a multiple of what I'd pay at home, but it's a nice pampered experience and one of the few splurges I spend for onboard. Book at the Lotus Spa.

damiross Posted April 2, 2019 #7 Share Posted April 2, 2019 If you like your hair cut very short, do it yourself. I like the Marine style. Bought a shaver just like the barbers use. Real easy and pays for itself after two haircuts. I think $18 is expensive for a haircut; no way would I pay $69! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrak Posted April 2, 2019 #8 Share Posted April 2, 2019 I don't have a lot of hair left. I take clippers and my wife takes care of things just like she does at home. A #2 where there's "mostly" hair and a #1 on top where there is "a little" hair. Quick and inexpensive. I keep threatening to get a beard trimmer but I end up going old school with a pair of scissors. One of these days... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colo Cruiser Posted April 2, 2019 #9 Share Posted April 2, 2019 It is expensive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4x4bob Posted April 2, 2019 Author #10 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Thanks to all that took time to respond. $69.00 in the spa. That would frost the Wife. That OBC could be used for something useful, like shopping the sale benches set up on Desk 7 or going through the left over sale items from Cruises past. 🤣 Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
memoak Posted April 2, 2019 #11 Share Posted April 2, 2019 The haircut on board is expensive but very good - just tell them to chill with the sales pitch afterwards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KreinKrunker Posted April 3, 2019 #12 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Was on Regal in February and a clipper cut was $25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa Yoda Posted April 3, 2019 #13 Share Posted April 3, 2019 That $69 includes a lot more than a haircut and beard trim. It's at least an hour of pampering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
