Are Haircuts Getting Too Expensive?

[aXiom]

It’s rough out here in LA if you want that sharp lined fade you going to pay..I pay 80 cash every 14 days

That's insane.

Yo these barbers are out of pocket I’m going to learn to cut my own hair as soon as I go on retirement leave or I’m growing it out

Ain't no way breh. .

There has to be more included in that $80 right? What is the difference between a $40 cut and a $80 cut in LA? Shyt can't be that much of a difference to warrant that $80

my barber going up to 40 in February. About to be wave gang in here; I can't be giving up 40 every two weeks just for some tapers and a crisp lineup

Where you getting your cuts at bro even boogie ass places like RVM off Wilshire charging like a 50 or 60 a head

 

[Atlrocafella]

some barbers charging 50 and up here. skilled barbers though.

the price i dont mind its the "appointments" "online booking" shyt that is the worst development in haircuts.

Why you don’t like the online booking system? Shyt beats the days of walking in and your barber hitting you with the “I just got two heads in front of you Bruh” bullshyt.

 

[CashmereThoughts]

dont know where yall stay at but $20 here with a 5 dollar tip

Brooklyn and its $25 before tip for me. its barbers that charge $20. these dudes going to "superstar" barbers that do appointment only and home service.

My barber is out the shop due to a family emergency and I don't even miss him.

$25 now for the same cut I've been getting for years?

Real men don’t get haircuts. They let it grow or cut it themselves. Real men don’t let another man tell them to sit in a chair and put a cape on them. Not at Harlem Cuts. I been cutting my own hair since 3 months old. A nikka can’t put a cape on me and spin me around in a chair. shyt is preposterous

 

[Tim2520]

I pay $35 for a cut and $20 for a shape up ,I go to the shop every week

40 for me, 25 cut + 15 tip because I always tip heavy and it gets me to the front of the line every time I show up, I magically become "His new appointment"....

But for the pandemic I grew it out and stopped cutting it, stopped caring. Now that I am around people again, I needed to look and feel like I did pre-pandemic....

It's worth the cost to me and I write it off as a business expense...

 

[Luken]

$40 for a shave now

Used to go to the barber every week for a cut/ lineup I learned how to cut my own hair a decade ago and ain't never been back in a shop since so these prices ya'll talkin got me like

I remember when some nikka tried to charge me 45 dollars for a cut and mind you this was a hole in the wall barbershop (only 3 barbers working). Cut wasn't that fly at all, I just needed a cut bad. We get done, this mufugga told me 45, I hit him with the and said I ain't got 45, I gave his ass 25 and walked straight the fucc out.

Ever since then I started growing my hair out getting cornrows, braids, and soon dreads. Also learned how to shape my own beard during covid. Do I miss it? Yea, but people in my family and women on the street say I look better with an Afro, even had a Mexican barber tell me I would look good with an Afro taper when I was getting fades so yea.
