Male Haircuts on Emerald Princess

[Sailaway John]

Can anyone tell me if there is the availability to have a haircut onboard the Emerald Princess for us mere males? I know there is lot to do about all the girls having their bodies prettied up but what about us poor men . . . we like to have a nice style cut sometimes and I cannot get one before sailing date.

[Kiwi Kruzer]

I am sure they will accommodate you.....at a price:D

[mrs and mrs]

You must be one of the lucky ones, from what I've seen a Mach 3 and a bottle of sun-screen usually does the trick:eek::eek:

 

Good on YOU Babe.:cool:

All Princess ships I have been on do male hair cuts as well as P&O UK and Royal Caribbean ships. I have had no issue getting a hair cut on any cruise I have been on. Of course they do male hair cuts when some cruises are up to 6 weeks.

I often leave having a haircut until I'm on holidays. Then I will go to a local hairdresser/barber in a town or port. Puts a little money into the local economy.

I do the same and for the same reason. I always enjoy a chat to a local. :)

 

I always get a shave and a haircut, A little pampering when visiting a foreign port. ;)

I remember dancing man having a $3 haircut in Fiji or somewhere like that.

 

He was robbed.

Haven't got enough left to bother about, but yes they do.

Start at around US$60 John, plus tip and no seniors discounts, lol. Sad I know.

Are you sure you are not talking about a massage instead of a haircut.

 

I have got a haircut on a Princess ship and I certainly did not pay $60 for it.

[mrs and mrs]

I think its by Strand, About $1.00 a strand must cuts are about $25 + 15% added gratuity.

 

Strictly cash and no O.B.C.

Sure is a haircut for that price. They also have to wash your hair precut for health reasons they told me. I am telling you $60 was the freight. I declined to pay the 15% gratuity and told the hairdresser, it was overpriced anyway. Believe me the hairdresser does not get the $60.

 

If the salon is real slow on sea days, sometimes Princess will advertise 'Happy Hour Cuts', when they might knock 30% off normal prices, seen that on my 22 Princess cruises.

The hairdresser would have got the 15% gratuity. The $60 would go to the company that employs the hairdressers. I have been told that the pay for hairdressers and spa staff is nominal or non-existent, and that they rely on the tips to make a living.

I think you will also find that Princess having "nothing" to do with the salon other than leasing it out to an operator. All the cruise lines do is collect the rent.:D

I believe that is correct. That is why I referred to "the company that employs the hairdressers".:)

Correct private company operates salons and shops.

All I need is clippers. #2 comb on the back and sides and #1 on top where the hair is very sparse. (My wife does my cut and refuses to simply do the top without a comb attachment.)

 

This takes a few minutes. I will definitely need more than one cut on our upcoming 28 day cruise. There is no way I will pay that kind of money for the type of haircut I need.

You could start up a cheap haircut business in your cabin. $20 ago, but no tipping, we Aussies don't like that. lol. !!

The cost of a gent's haircut on the Emerald 2 weeks ago was $42 incl. gratuity - ladies stylecut was $86 incl gratuity. Ask for Shushied - he's a top-notch styler.

Thats not out of the way...less than I thought it would be for a gents cut ..:)

Alright you have forced me to pull out my account from Diamond Princess in July last year. My bill for a hair cut on that cruise was $26.45 including the gratuity. The service was a quick trim/cut and did have a quick rinse/wash in their head basin at the salon.

 

This was a Diamond Princess cruise when the ship was based in Japan. I had an elite card and was also a suite guest which they knew as I was given total access to the thermal suite as part of being in a suite so I am not sure if that made any difference to the price.

[Tranquility Base]

Perhaps USD vs AUD might explain some of that also ?

Hi Anna is that USD or AUD ?

[Brisbane41]

My $26.45 haircut was in US dollars on the Diamond Princess in July 2016 as it was based in Japan.

 

I still have my cabin portfolio with me filed away.
