are there many things sadder than a new barber...

[ALonelyDad]

I remember going to a new place, they I am assuming gave me the worst barber.. haircut was pretty good but still.

 

[Formerly known as...]

I've been lucky with my selection of barbers...only a selected few have cut my hair. Right now my barber takes appointments...txt him for free times, walk in, hair cut, walk the fukk out.

I don't understand why dudes who don't know a lot of people or who aren't very outgoing become barbers.

Nah, man. There is this dude around KC named Deron (Darren), he was the new guy and people were loyal as fukk to their barbers they had people waiting damn near out the door smokin and talkin and shyt, finally this one dude bit and was like "hook me up man" this dude cut ol boys hair in like 15-20 without all the excess talkin and laughin, so people were like " hook me up too....." dude wasnt rushin but gettin nikkas in and out of the chair, using clippers on their beard and edgin up mustaches and shyt.

So finally after a week or 2 someone was like "Ay man why dont you say much, you nice and all with the clippers- you startin to make the homies look bad because we be talkin and laughin prolly spend about an hour in a chair every time we come through, you on that no nonsense just get the cut shyt--"

D was like "My bad, I like yall but I just do what I came to do, im just happy to be here.." nikkas started grillin him askin where he was from, turns out dude was from Memphis and had all types of stories and gems, he had the whole shop sittin there on phones googlin his stories-- they'd turn on First 48 and he would be tellin them 'the real' stories--- dude had pictures with nikkas that were in jail or dead on the news and first 48 and shyt....

This nikka ended up gankin a bunch of regulars and a couple of the barbers pushed him out on some "he fukks with some nikkas that got beef and we cant be having that..." This dude ended up openin up his own shop with a couple of nikkas and was stackin papers. He's still cool with the old head that ran his former barber shop cause he hires dudes right out of barber school and gives them a chair for a while.

Dont sleep on the new nikkas, everyone has to start somewhere.

Sounds like a cool cat

I used to go to the barber bi-weekly, but my hair grows so quick that the fade is basically gone in 3 days so now I just use the machine all over my head. It suits me fine.

Every once in a while when it's too much I'll check homie out

Id describe him as extremely humble. This dude has seen so much and has so much experience, he could easily be one of those talkin nikkas. Everyone always wants to hear from him, about him and this and that and he generally responds rather than just come up to you and be talkin. He'd literally have grown nikkas sittin around on some mother goose storytime shyt, but not be on some chatty patty and not snitchin or airin people out but just tellin it like it is.

They had DVR up in the shop and they'd record First 48 and they'd pause it and he'd be explainin what really happened and who was who on more than one occasion but he'd still manage to get your cut done whereas nikkas would watch sports center and talk and be laughin and clowning and their client would be sittin in a chair for well over 30 minutes.

 

[Fenian]

The barbers I've been going to all my life only has one chair and one guy so I've never experienced this.

Dude's getting old though and I don't know what I'll do when he calls it a day.

I heard that the Dominican barbers were giving American barbers a run for their money in New York.

 

[GetInTheTruck]

My back-up barber is a dude I decided to give a shot, I actually like the way he lines up my mustache better than my main barber.

its very true

 

[Mook]

There's one Dominican shop in Raleigh and they keep giving me the new barbers. I don't care cause every cut is fire, but everyime I try to build a relationship these dudes leave

If your barber ain't Dominican you losing though.

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Miss me wit that bullshyt so you don't know one nikka in your life that was ill wit the clippers? nikkas was getting detailed graphics and sick fades/360's in their heads when I was in high school

Maybe not in country ass gaytl but in my city they was

you be talking dumb shyt all the time. just take a timeout for once then come back and post with some sense.

 

[Pyrexcup]

[Brock Landers]

I only fukk with my regular barber cause most new nikkas fukk me up. I let my lil cousin edge me up one time and to this day I don't know what he did but my nikka had my hairline actually bleeding and shyt. I just got up looked in the mirror and was like Preciate it fam, good looking out

bet you cried in the car too

Would you brehs ever let a cac cut your hair?

 

[JerseyBoy23]

Thread just made me realize that my barber's moving to a different state in the fall and I've been going to him for at least a decade.

Anyone have tips on finding a new barber? I usually only get low cut caesars or 2 on top fades. so I'm assuming most barbers can do that.
