New Question

[4x4bob]

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. 

 

Thanks

Bob

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??

I may have to try and find one  on land.  I was thinking that I could use the time on ship since we will have lots of at sea days.

My husband got a hair cut and beard trim on our Baltic cruise. He looked great and the cost was negligible.

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. 😁

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.

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!

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...

It is expensive!

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.  🤣

The haircut on board is expensive but very good - just tell them to chill with the sales pitch afterwards

Was on Regal in February and a clipper cut was $25.

That $69 includes a lot more than a haircut and beard trim.  It's at least an hour of pampering.
