  • Looking for a cheap haircut in Montreal that won't have you crying afterwards?
  • We've hunted down the 5 best salons that will get you looking your best without dropping $100.
  • Consider one of these spots for your next chop and you may even be helping a hair student along the way!

Montreal has no shortage of hair salons, but I find one thing lacking is a reasonably-priced cut. Finding anything below even $30 (yeah, for women) is nearly impossible, to say the least.

So where do you go to get your hair cut when you are a little short on money? I had to do some digging to come up with these solutions (most of which I did not even realize were an option). I polled friends, poured over Reddit and read every review on Yelp and TripAdvisor. And these were the five places that kept coming up time and time again.  

I have had personal experience with getting my own cut at hair schools before (back when I was in school), but I hadn’t visited one in Montreal.  After talking to friends and family who absolutely swear by student cuts, I will definitely be giving one of them a try next time.  

All the places on this list give cuts for a max of $15. If you’re a guy some of the cuts start as low as $8.

Without further wait, here are the 5 cheapest places in Montreal that you can get a haircut and not regret it.
