A hair cut in San Francisco runs $60-$80 if you get it cut by an apprentice, $130 if cut by the owner. At Rossano Ferreti in the Hassler they just seem to make up the price every time I go there. It's never the same. Sometimes I go there and it's 35 euros, and at other times its 50 euros, with the same stylist. I always use Fabbiana. They decide what the price is after the haircut is done and you are at the cash register. It's always cheaper than San Francisco. You can always find a barber to snip off your hair for 10-15 euros but I think I still have enough hair to invest in, although my friends always laugh about how much I spend on a haircut.
