It means "I don't like to spend more than I need to". He has paid for an appointment, so (he says) he will come for his appointment, or he would have wasted the money.

cheap (adj.): unwilling to spend money
The dialogue doesn't entirely make sense, as the relationship between the two is not clear. However what the man means is that, since he would forfeit money if he missed his appointment, he decided to get his hair cut anyway. He doesn't like to waste his money.
