How much is a barbers chair?
I could have googled it, but I decided to GRM it.
So anyway, how much?

A lot of them go for pretty big money. The last one I saw was in a antique store and it was in the $500 range. I'm sure some digging would turn up some cheaper ones.

Apparently if it has a skilled barber behind it, rental is your only option.

All depends on condition and features. I know of one guy in my neighborhood who caught a shop just going out of business and got his cheap, but a friend of ours paid several hundred for one he had to restore for over four figures after that point.

You mean like a vintage one, or a new style salon type one?

The new type is $500- $800. Vintage ones can run several thousand.

New. I was watching an episode of Seinfeld about Jerry getting a haircut. Those chairs are pretty substantial, I was wondering how much a new chair runs.

That's a lot of pottery to break.

Thanks, that was what I was too lazy to figure out. Honestly, I'm surprised they are that cheap.

This thread reminds me that the last time I sat in a barber's chair was over half my life ago.

That would imply/require that I actually had enough hair to wash...
