A new study shows that the price for a basic salon haircut varies widely from country to country, and in some countries there's a huge gap in price between men's cuts and women's cuts. The United States came in at an average of $95 for a woman's haircut and $44 for a men's haircut. Just north in Canada, the price drops to $34 for women and $24 for men, and across the pond in England it's $57 for women and $28 for men.
After comparing haircut prices in the capital cities of 102 countries, the researchers at NetCredit highlight these key findings:

How do your haircut prices stack up? Keep in mind that, because the data was gathered at each country's capital, the US average reflects prices in Washington, DC, not the national average.
