Clipper at an eighth of an inch, about every three months does the trick for me. No frills, no gimmicks, and the clipper has already paid for itself. 
Ontario barbers forced to learn women's styling techniques

There's bound to be a way around this... Perhaps they keep the barber pole outside and advertise (in very small print) that they are 'social consultants' (these dudes are great talkers).
$25 for a 1/2 hour 'consulting' session and they throw the hair cut in for free.

My dad was a barber for over 50 years. He cut my hair until I got to be a teen. Then he said that since I was older, I should go to a hair sytlist. He didn't even cut my mom's hair for pete's sake. My husband and son still get haircuts from him, even tho' he's retired.
I once went to a barber when I had long hair, mainly because when I went to a hair dresser to get a "trim" I usually got butchered instead. Think is was resentment because I did have nice hair lol. He was really nervous and didn't want to do it but I just told him to trim it across the bottom to get rid of the split ends - he did a marvy job! (I think he was relieved after he finished). But you see, my thinking was that men usually liked long hair and would only cut what was absolutely necessary. And, I was right.
I don't know if barbers now-a-days would do the same thing now.

Dad had to go to barber school and that was 50 years ago!!

WE still have a couple of old style barber shops. Since my hairline is receding like the tide on a mud flat and I do washnwear anyway a barber is all I need.
*lmao*
listen if you knew how much money I just gave my stylist yesterday you would go for it...he put the wrong colour on it (partially my fault) and I don't know about the cut yet, it takes a few days to settle down from the shock of the cut. But have to say, he is not getting it lately because the cut has been dicey more than once lately (no pun intended on dicey) ...and before I leave, he likes to make my hair big and puffy like I am going to an Italian wedding.
He is cutting too many rich old, lady heads that have 15 hairs on it...he knows how to make them think their hair is big...jazuz it is frightening. If he knew that the 20 minute blow dry gets flattened two minutes after I'm in the door he would not be happy.
Excellent, wasting both time and money on something that means very little in the lives of the average Ontarian. Excepting of course those who go out of pocket for a higher amount. Do I give a damn if the neighbourhood barber has been artfully trained in the skill of dying hair? No I don't because I'm not going to him to get my hair dyed.
What kind of govt forces private business to operate according to pure ideological bullshit? To answer your question, if barbers actually wanted to do that, a bunch of leftards wouldn't have had to force them to. And how much do you want to bet that muslim barbers got the usual free-pass that muslims seem to get? Don't bother betting, you WILL lose because that's exactly what happened. A women tested the waters in Toronto and lo'and behold, the leftards decided that his religious excuse for refusing her service was good enough reason.
