One effect of the recession is that hairdressers are getting clobbered. People are either trading down from spas to discount chains or they're cutting their own hair! Clark knows a man who cuts his own hair using a Flowbee and he always tries to get the penny-pincher to become a convert. However, Clark doesn't have a stylish bone in his body, so cutting his own hair wouldn't be very pretty.

Is it money wise or money foolish to cut back on getting your hair professionally cut? Clark thinks it all depends on what you do for a living. If you're seeking work or appearances are important on your job, you might want to think twice about cutting back. But if it doesn't matter if your hair is a little too long or too short on the job, this could be a great place to trim your budget.

Clark's wife gets mad whenever he gets a haircut -- because she thinks he gets it cut too short. Of course, that's intentional on Clark's part. He only wants to pay for a cut 6 or 7 times a year. His wife, however, would rather he just get a minor trim every 3 weeks or so. Now she's taken to advancing her agenda by telling him that not getting short haircuts will conceal his thinning spot better. But Clark doesn't care; he'd rather save the money!
