babytraveler Posted June 14, 2006 #1 Share Posted June 14, 2006 So husband isn't going to be able to get his hair cut before cruise. Do HAL spa/salons do hair cutting? Thanks for the crazy hair people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gizmo Posted June 15, 2006 #3 Share Posted June 15, 2006 They cut women's hair, so I don't see why not, however be prepared to pay a fortune. I have the same question as Lougee, why can't he get it cut before you leave ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceman93 Posted June 15, 2006 #4 Share Posted June 15, 2006 I got my hair cut on my last cruise. (To answer those who are asking why he can't get it cut beforehand, he may be in the same situation I was where between getting everything in order at the office and at home I simply didn't have TIME to make it to the barber.) The salon certainly does offer men's haircutting, and the charge was not at all unreasonable considering they shampooed, cut, and styled (to the extent they can a short, military haircut). If I recall, it was around $30 plus tip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babytraveler Posted June 15, 2006 Author #5 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Thanks! $30ish is better than squeezing it all in before we go. Exactly--before vacation we work late every night to essentially do a week's work ahead of time so everything is covered while we're gone. Then there's house prep: lawn, squaring things away. And packing. Skipping haircut is good way to reserve a little extra time for the other things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the2ofus Posted June 15, 2006 #6 Share Posted June 15, 2006 I was amused by the "why not?" question. For those who live in big cities it may seem strange not to find time to get a haircut. Those of us in smaller towns who commute to work can have a real problem. If your Saturday is too busy or you're tied up with other things on the only evening when your barber or stylist is open, it can mean that you can't get a haircut before your vacation. There might be another barber or stylist in town, but who wants to take a chance that you'll gat a bad haircut just before vacation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sayyadina Posted June 15, 2006 #7 Share Posted June 15, 2006 My husband paid $30 for a buzz cut. I paid $57 and it was the best cut I've ever had, by far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bepsf Posted June 15, 2006 #9 Share Posted June 15, 2006 I like getting my hair cut aboard ship on the first sea day - it's just one of those "nice things to do" ...I mean where else can you get a scalp massage while looking over the ocean and seeing flying fish? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way you worded your reply makes me want to run into the salon to get the massage and relax while viewing the fish. Missygirl:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
