They are normally a snip at £30.
But the Sultan of Brunei is said to have paid £15,000 to get a London barber to trim his hair in what is believed to be the most expensive haircut ever.
He hired a private suite on a Singapore Airlines flight to carry Ken Modestou, who runs a barber’s at the Dorchester hotel in Mayfair, the 7,000 miles to his home to attend to his hair.
The sultan is believed to have ordered the special cabin to ensure the barber was isolated from possible swine flu among other passengers.
The 63-year-old, who is one of the world's richest men with a £12billion fortune, also paid for Mr Modestou's accommodation for a few nights and gave him several thousand dollars in payment.
Back in London, the barber charges just £30 for a cut. Mr Modestou has been cutting the sultan's hair for 16 years, sometimes going every three or four weeks, the Sunday Times reported.
The extraordinary cost of one man's hair cut came as it emerged that one British hairdressers is charging just £2.50 for a gentleman's trim.
Bury Barbers in Greater Manchester also offer a wash, cut and style for a man for £2.95 and a ladies dry cuts for short hair at £3.95 for those with special fliers.
Customer are even offered free beers, wines, tea and coffee.
It launched the special deal after a new hairdresser, The Barber's Shop, opened in the town last week with cut price offers of £3 cuts for men and £4 trims for women.
Dave Maguire, 30, who runs The Barber's Shop, one of a chain of 25 open in the North West and Yorkshire, said: 'I've ten years experience in this business and know it's not a cut price deal introductory offer - we are here to stay.
'Being a barber is a completely different technique to being a ladies hairdresser.
'We are doing traditional cuts the traditional way. With the recession hitting everyone - keeping the prices down low is putting money back in people's pockets.
'We're are doing pattern cuts for the kids and parents are queuing up in the summer holidays for them.'
But Danny Brown, who runs another barber shop in the town charging £6.90 per cut, said he was amazed by the price wars.
He said: 'I've been in the business 40 years and have never seen anything like it the price war is potty.
'Something has got to give. If it goes on like this people will go to the wall.
'I'd rather slash my wrists than cut my prices. These young girls who leave college have no gents hairdressing skills and they set themselves up renting some of the shops that are empty and then cutting hair for a living.
'The rents are low and they go into it thinking they can earn a £100 a week and that will do them, but the old fashioned barbers are a dying breed and this will make more disappea"
