The short answer

|---|---|---|
| Barber or clipper cut | $28 to $40 | $35 |
| Kids' cut | $22 to $36 | $35 |

Why one haircut costs $35 and another $100
Clippers or scissors. A clipper cut or fade is mostly machine work on short hair. A scissor cut takes longer, often includes a wash, and is priced that way. Stylists who offer both list them far apart: one charges $35 for a clipper cut and $65 for a scissor cut.
Thickness and length. Some stylists charge more for thick hair. One lists a haircut at $100, or $120 for extra density.
Specialist cuts. Curly cuts done curl by curl take longer: one Toronto stylist lists a curly cut at $120.
What is included. A $28 dry cut and a $68 cut with a wash and a finish are different appointments. Check before comparing two prices.
Where they work. Most of the barbers and stylists in this data work from home or a small private studio, without a shop's rent built into the price. That is the main reason their prices sit below many storefronts.
Blowouts, trims and add-ons
A blowout on its own is around $42, with most between $30 and $50. Trims are the cheapest thing on most menus: one stylist lists a fringe trim at $8.50, and natural-hair trims are listed at $15 and $45 by two others.
Adding a beard to a cut costs $5 or less at the barbers that list both, which is why the cut-and-beard median sits only a few dollars above a plain barber cut.
Kids' cuts
Kids' cuts sit around $35, with most between $22 and $36. Age cut-offs vary from under 13 to 17 and under, so check where your child falls before booking.

How we got these numbers
We read the published price lists of home-based barbers and hairstylists on BuzzGram in Toronto in October 2026 and grouped services by what they are: a barber's "haircut" counts as a barber cut, a stylist's as a scissor cut. Braids, extensions and colour were left out. For each barber or stylist we took their lowest price for a service, then reported the median and the middle half across them.
A service only gets a typical figure when several barbers or stylists list it; trims and specialist cuts are quoted as individual listings. All prices are in Canadian dollars, before tip and tax. More in how we calculate local pricing.
