Its absolutely insane to me that the people in America with the second lowest household wealth are throwing money in the blender with these haircut prices. :francis:


I left the game entirely during covid back when the average price was just $30. And I was a once a month type of barber customer. I can't imagine coming in every two weeks or some people in here are saying once a week to pay $50, 60, or even 70 bucks including the tip. I can't even imagine how people with kid's are dealing with this. It's like a self-imposed black tax.

And what's really getting to me is that you're ultimately spending this money on a depreciating hair asset. Over the course of 20 or 30 years in an index fund , had you put the exact same haircut money into the market , a typical black family is losing hundreds of thousands of dollars in wealth to this madness :wow:



For clarity's sake the hispanics, asians, and white men have haircuts ranging between $15 and $20 a month. And they're in a position where it's not socially acceptable for them to have very low cut hair or bald hair, whilr black men have the advantage of being socially able to cut their own hair much lower themselves. Post covid, I just cut it myself so I'm actually under spending them currently at $0 a month with a 50-dollar pair of clippers that I've had for the last 3 years.

A lot of brehs will die broke, just to look fresh and stunt for bum hoes in the club. Black Tax includes haircuts, name brand clothes, and general BS just for social acceptance.

These barbers do not care.

:mjlol:

But there are white barber shops charge the same ex. Blind Barber. Which cuts go to $100+ at times and they throw in a drink or two
.

But it’s an interesting thought, if lower priced haircuts help the community

These barbers act like their customers are licks or dummies where they can price gouging and scam on a weekly basis, just to stunt in a new luxury whip to impress hoes.

Can go for 3-6 months before a retwist looking like a young phaorah.

Inshallah my hairline has not budged since I was birthed :blessed:
