A man flew to Morocco for a haircut after a London barber tried to charge him £36.50.

The man, who posts as @MythoYookay on X, first took a train to Stansted for £3.

He then caught a £15 Ryanair flight to Morocco. After landing he paid 80p for a taxi to the barbershop.

At the shop he asked for a taper fade. The barber gave him the cut and charged the equivalent of £1.60.

All in, the trip cost £20.20, leaving him £16.30 better off than paying the London price.

He summed up the stunt by saying: “It proves that in life, you have to think smart not hard.”

Followers reacted in the comments.

One wrote: “£36.50 for a haircut is insane!!

A second said: “That is actually pretty funny!

Another criticised the extreme lengths he went to: “Where do they even charge £36 wtf. I get mine done for £12, there’s another cheap one I know that does it for £8. This guy can just get a cheaper deal just walking around for 10 minutes to find a new barber shop.

Someone else added: “Central London and I pay £14. I’d rather do it myself than fly Ryanair!
