Ok, revisiting this since I had a divorce with my old barber, dude stood me up on appointments a few times :dame:
One thing I hate is someone wasting my time, I am always mindful of theirs.


I used to pay $35 including tip at my old barber, then one day he basically said I was short changing him since his cuts are actually $40.....


He told me $30 way back (trust me, I am not trying to short change anyone) I would have just stuck to the barbers I found that I was paying less with. Found him again after he sold his old shop and went back......I used to say give me back $5 when handing him $40...Why would I do that if you charge $40?


Now to the point: Tried one random barber off Booksy on a Sunday, paid $35, couldn't line me up properly, so 1 and done. Rest of cut was nice, hairline looked like a stock market printout.

1st cut since the bad hairline cut.........Yesterday, tried another barber that was $40, young Spanish barber (Cuban: 23) with his own shop (IG type barber) works with Pacinos Signature Line.

He be on all them current day haircuts and easy to get to. Some of y'all may not care or whatever, but Pacinos was my 1st barber when I moved to WPB. His brand is pretty large now, so the guy being under, him, pause, says something to me at least.

For the money dude gave me more service than I had elsewhere for the same money and appointments were (50 mins):
Hot towel with facial massage (massage machine over the towel), ayo
Put some tightening strips (black mask) under my eyes at the start of the cut and took them off at the end
Put some shyt in my hair, brushed it (put doorag on during rest of the cut, hit it with blow dryer) brushed me down again
Gave me a temple fade, shave, lined me up without any issues, etc. (Told him turn me from Unk to Hunk)


Left him a 5 star rating, didn't leave a rating on the other shop that had my hairline looking (natural) yet unnatural.

I will go back and let him get used to me, ayo.

Finna turn into a reggaeton singer or Dominican MLB prospect. He also has certain days discounted on Booksy so I can always save a few bucks. I gave him 50 yesterday like I was Jokic.

I’ve never been one to complain about the rising prices. nikkas expecting the same haircut price they were getting when bush was in office.

Got tired of my old barber. He was charging 45 but not consistent with what came with that service.. so I shaved my shyt bald :mjlol: it’s growing back so i booked with a new barber charging 75. I don’t mind paying if the service is a1 which it looks to be. We shall see.

If you a nice barber you always gonna have motion no matter what u charge.. these days the ones thats making 100 per cut is da ones that be giving out the facials with the haircut, it seem like thats the new wave now ..

I say $30-$40 is reasonable these days for grown ups $20 for kids.. you cut about two to three heads per hour plus tips thats over $100 per hour.. thats not bad at all..

nikkas would pay whatever long as the cut fresh.

Allow another man to caress your face for $100.
:picard:
It felt weird the first time I got cut in the Middle East. Them boys be giving you back, neck and shoulder massages after the cut.
:dame:
At Bagram, they have the Kazakhstani women cutting hair.
:shaq:
One of the baddest woman I seen in my life cut me up. A lot of the women are Russian/Asian mix. Think Olga Kurylenko with blue eyes.
:ohlawd:
Come to find out the women be servin. They get busted every so often and sent home.
:pachaha:

Barber charges me $45 but I give him $60

Dude is fast, chill, and knows exactly what I like and want.

Thats worth $60 to me. Go about 2 times a month
