Are Barbers About to Find Out?

Did they cut it with garden tools too?

Nah straight professional and everything. No joke. It's the little things you appreciate. Wash your hair, massage etc. I legit thought I was ripping them off and to this day tip cause its too little for the work done. I have dreads now that reach my collar bone.

Because that IG page said so lol....
Where is the media literacy?

This BS is plaguing politics, sports, day-to-day topics, etc

What's their source?

Finger wagging about media literacy then posting an AI overview is crazy

My barber still charge 35 And he is a great barber and I know a lot of black barbers are hurting because black boys and black men are getting locs and braids now I currently have braids but I still wear my taper fro when my wife doesn't feel like braiding my hair

Ive stated my opinion on this multiple times, and the facts seem to support my take.

During the pandemic, when large % of the country was home, barbers saw the true value of their services. Dudes were masking up, and risking health and life to get line ups, shaves, and haircuts. To work from home.

Towards the end and after the health scare was over, barbers raised their prices. Why wouldnt they? Clearly seen as a premium service by a segment of people, why not charge premium prices, maybe cut fewer people, but make more money?

If this is true(one of the best takes I've seen on here tbh regarding this issue) then greed got the best of them.

Which of those reports are publicly available under Trump's current administration?

 

[LauderdaleBoss]

Dude in the OP video is right.

Them hoe ass barbers are just greedy. nikkas literally standing in AC working at their own pace and somehow that's not good enough. They trying to act like they laboring on a construction site or that they doing some life saving shyt like a doctor.

My point has nothing to do with your point about Trump

My point is part of the lack of media literacy is due to people outsourcing so much of their brains to the Internet, so it's ironic that to make your point you posted a screenshot of what you asked AI

They want to make the same amount of dough as if they are cutting mad heads for $20 but seeing half the clients

Isn't a beard trim just a standard process where my man ask if you want it lined up with no extra charge

 

[skylove4]

I got a great grade of hair. I can let my shít grow out and be walkin' around with a head of nothin' but curls

 

[RageKage]

Where I go I pay 18 for a cut with a 10 dollar tip

I believe it breh, was just joking

Was going to post the IG of the African dude that uses garden tools to make fresh cuts in his “village”… but I forgot to post it

$35 in Inglewood…

$35-40 is the sweet spot. My old barber went from $35 to $45 to $60 in one year and had the nerve to text me and asked why I stopped coming. I started going to this Dominican, its no frills but the haircut and beard is always on point for $40 and he doesn't expect a tip. He's Dominican ship so im technically still supporting a black business

 

[aceboon]

Unless a barber is in my friend group breh, I aint letting no random ass barber in my house........and knowing some barbershop im ot going to a residential barber

Where I live real commercial buildings are being converted to studio spaces where barbers/stylists can rent out their own independent space instead of working in a shop with 5-7 chairs. I know a bunch if barbers that have spun off and done their own thing doing that, jawns that do hair/lashes/etc doing the same thing
