As an outsider, what's the rational for your uniform cleaning allowance? Couldn't/wouldn't a haircut allowance fall under the same logic? More $$ is good. Straight pay rates are easily quantified by wall street....things like allowances spend just like increased pay rates but are more subtle as to optics.
Two $20 haircuts/month gets about $500 year. That's better than nothing (unless you think that what you negotiate has ancillary costs to the company ie FA, which would hurt your bargaining position.... less bang for the buck)

I think the concept is same as IRS deductibility (before the recent changes). If your clothing is only useful for your job, you could deduct it. Pilots uniform, hard hat, bullet proof vest, steel toed shoes are. Suit coat, jeans, tennis shoes are not, because you can wear them elsewhere. Taking a shower, shaving, having a haircut are not, because you would do them for non-work related. Yes, there are some grey areas, but that is the basic philosophy.
Why am I even weighing in? Why of course, pattern bargaining. Good shiznit for UAL pilots hopefully equates into good or better shiznit for DAL pilots🤑

Agree - $25-$100 a visit can get pretty steep. Don’t add it all up or you will be searching for a “FLOWBEE.”

HA! When was the last time a pilot paid for shampoo/soap. I guarantee any pilot's house is loaded with hotel shampoo/soaps.
