He Flew to Morocco for a Haircut. It Was Still Cheaper.

London barbers charge what they want. Muscab Salad decided to charge back - with a spreadsheet and a one-way ticket to Marrakech.

The Numbers That Started It All

Muscab, a 22-year-old content creator from West London, was paying £35 for a haircut at his local barber - plus £6 in travel to get there. That's £41 per trim, every few weeks, forever. He started wondering if there was a cheaper way. There was. And it involved a budget airline and a one-night hostel.

Skyscanner Does Not Care About Your Dignity

He opened Skyscanner and found a £15 flight to Marrakech. He booked a hostel for £10 and took a taxi from the airport for £6. He walked out of his hostel, found a barber, and paid £8 for a haircut. Despite the language barrier, he was happy with the result. Total outlay: £39.

The Maths Are Undeniable

London haircut with travel: £41. Morocco trip with a haircut: £39. Net saving: £2. And a night in Marrakech. He was happy with the cut. He was happy with the trip. The only thing he wasn't happy about was that he hadn't done this sooner.

The Internet Had Thoughts

His TikTok video racked up over 100,000 views. Reactions split between people saying it was brilliant and people pointing out you could probably find a £10 haircut in London if you looked hard enough. Muscab did not look hard enough in London. He looked at Skyscanner instead. He regrets nothing.

He Saved £2 and Got a Holiday

Muscab specialises in finding cheap travel deals on TikTok. This was, perhaps, his most persuasive argument yet. It is very hard to argue with a man who flew to Morocco, got a haircut, and still came home £2 ahead. The barbers of West London have not commented.
