Is a 30 dollar hair cut supposed to be cheap or expensive in the Super Android 13 movie?

A. You gotta remember when it came out, back in the 90's when everything didn't cost as much $30 was more money back then. B. He's country, so the fact that any man would spend anything money at all may be part of it too. Like, "you're so pampered, you pay a fancy stylist for your haircuts."

He’s basically calling Trunks a preppy rich boy who doesn’t understand the more complicated aspects of life due to his sheltered upbringing.

The Commentaries make it clear that it's meant to be expensive

I think its meant to be more expensive as the android says "lecture" instead of smth like "tell me" as a possible mock towards trunks

The $30 haircut line is from the original Funimation dub of the movie, did they retain the line in the TFS version?

Better question is why no one asked "What the fuck is a dollar?

Guess they were too busy getting their asses clapped.

Considering the year the movie came out, extravagant.

Today? $30 is about the normal price.

I think $30 would still be expensive by today’s standards.

Obscenely expensive for the time period.

Keep in mind, we’ve gone through 32 years of inflation since the movie released, and the average price of men’s haircuts in the U.S. is still only 28 dollars.

After checking this inflation calculator; an extra funny part is that the price of a 30 dollar haircut today would be roughly 13 dollars when the movie released.

I'm paying between 30 and 40 bucks for haircuts these days, so in 1992 it was probably on the higher end.

At the time it came out, $30 was a ridiculous amount of money to spend on a haircut.

In many places, it's higher.

Where I live $20-30 is normal for styling.

I cut my own hair and save a fortune.

IDK. My mom used to be a hairdresser, so all my haircuts are free.

This line was in the actual English dub in like 1998-99 so it would've been pretty expensive

It’s less about the amount and more about the fact he spent money on it

Wait… so people actually pay $30 for a haircut?

I pay $21 for a haircut and beard trim

Quite expensive.
