How much a men's haircut costs in Kazakhstan

Looking up how much a men's haircut costs in Almaty and want to compare with the rest of the country? Here is a benchmark. Of the country's 1,424 barbershops, 1,138 list a starting price for a haircut. The national median is 4,500 tenge. In Almaty and Astana the median is 5,000, in Shymkent and Aktobe 3,000. The gap between cities is almost twofold

How wide is the range of men's haircut prices?

Here is how the country's barbershops are spread by price

Two thirds of barbershops fall in the range of three to five and a half thousand. Above eight thousand are eight percent of businesses, which is already a separate segment

This is the lower bound: the price of the simplest haircut. Coloring, beard, and styling are charged separately

By city

Kostanay is the most expensive at 5,250 ₸, higher than both capitals. Karaganda and Pavlodar hold the capital level, while Shymkent and Aktobe are almost half as expensive. Cities of about the same size differ a lot, so the price in a neighboring city is a poor guide

When is a barbershop open if everything else is closed?

Almost always in the evening. After nine, 65% of barbershops work. For comparison: nail studios 35%, general-profile salons 12%. On Sunday 99% are open

In the morning it is the opposite: 11% are open before nine. A barbershop is an evening place

Do barbershops offer children's haircuts?

Yes, most of them. 76% of barbershops list a children's haircut. That answers the question "where do I take my son": you do not have to look for a separate children's hair salon, the nearest barbershop will do

12% offer home visits, 177 businesses across the country. 13% have a ramp

The average rating is 4.78 across 1,309 rated barbershops, noticeably above the directory average of 4.57

What this means for you

1. The national benchmark is 4,500 ₸ for a simple haircut. Below three thousand is 9% of businesses, above eight thousand 8%
2. In Shymkent and Aktobe a haircut is almost half the capital price. If you are moving or on a business trip, adjust your expectations
3. If you need a late evening, go to a barbershop: after nine, two thirds are open, while other salons have a shorter evening
4. With a child, an ordinary barbershop will do: three quarters offer a children's haircut

What this means for an owner

80% of barbershops list a price, and that is already the market norm. A listing without a price drops out of the comparison before the call: a person opens three tabs, sees a number in two, and none in the third

The morning is almost entirely free. Only 11% of businesses work before nine, and a haircut before work is an ordinary thing in any country

Where the numbers come from

The open 2GIS directory, August 2026. We counted 1,424 active barbershops in Kazakhstan, with services listed for 1,317, a schedule for 1,292, and a rating for 1,309. The price was taken from listed services of the form "men's haircut from N tenge"; for a business with several such lines, the lowest was taken. Values that occur fewer than five times were left out of the spread table, so the shares add up to 98%. The city table shows cities where at least fifteen businesses list a price
