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

[madness]

i been going to the same barber for almost 5 years now. cool cat from virgin islands. but he has a habit of randomly leaving town for 1-2 weeks sometimes. once he was out of town and i desperately needed a cut so i let a new barber they had just hired cut me. i didn't trust him to give me an all-out cut so i figured i'd get a shape-up which should hold me over until my barber got back.

while lining my mustache up, he accidentally jabbed the side of my nose with the blade. it was nothing too major, but i was bleeding and decided from that point on no new barbers ever again.

I always make sure I call my barber the day before and tell him I'ma be coming early in the morning when he there so I can be in an out. Then again all 3 barbers there cept for 1 asian lady are good. So if I'm really in a hurry I got 2 other brehs to attend to my head.

I go to an old guy. He's like 60 and owns his barbershop.

He'll use the clippers just for the cut... but then its straight to the scissors for the mustache and goatee.
The dudes with the newer young barbers be looking all sideways cause their barbers use the clippers for everything. They stay looking jealous...

but one time I went in and he was using a old school straight razor on another old dude that was around 50 and I was like
but he was like 'nah you still a pup thats for my era'


I'm 30... but he was saying ppl under 40 or 50 freak out and be acting scary when he takes out the straight razor so he doesn't use it except on OGs



I aint gonna lie... Thats straight razor did have me kinda shook

I live in a county right outside NYC and it has a sizable Dominican population, though I never heard of Dominican barbers posing a threat to black barbers when it comes to black customers. Heard about Dominican salons vs black salons, but not barbers.

Dominicans are GOAT barbers.

Sitting in a shop full of customers waiting but no-one willing to give them a shot?


I was just at a barbershop and I swear the place was full and I mean FULL. Every other Barber has about 3 or 4 customers waiting and this new Barber is sitting there looking all sad in his own chair. I fukked around and made eye contact with homie and he nodded like "gimme a shot breh" . But out of loyalty for my barber I gave him the kinda look like "nah breh I'm good"

man they be looking sadder than those abandoned puppies on those tv infomercials. NEVER look them in the eye.

i swear these two posts had me pissing myself man. i don't think any other posts in this thread truly capture the accuracy of the situation better than this

i feel awkward as shyt walking into a full barbershop with one poor dude in the ass-end of the shop standing there dikking off trying to look busy by pretending to sweep hair or clean his clippers
the eye contact avoidance shyt is so true, givin a dude false hope, inside he's like "finally ima make some fukkin money today "
but you be like when you make eye contact nh

then you dap your barber and he tells u ur his next appointment and dude goes back to rearranging his clippers and shyt being

i get the same feeling making eye contact with those bums on the freeway off ramp exits.. like one time i pulled up to the light and this homeless dude was there with his sign and shyt, and i rolled my window down cuz it was hot and he was like
and i was like when he was walking over like wtf this dude want.. then i realized what had happened and rolled my window back up and looked away. dude must've been devastated
that's the same shyt with barbers with no clients
