I pay $30 but it increases by $5 every 6 months smh
why are they raising prices??? rent money or something?

My old baber did it cause he was maxed out on appointments all day every day. Simple supply and demand. He is trying to find the sweet spot to balance that out. Problem is it forced me to find another baber and I did. Better service, better cut and better price. My new baber barley has clients. The shop is dead empty so I just roll in whenever and get the best fades of my life especially the fact there is no rush cause no one is there.

I think I will eventually have to find a new barber, I been going to mine since 2004
Or learn how to cut my own hair through trials and tribulations

This is why I laugh at people who try to talk down on Barbers like they don't make a good living from that shyt. If you good at your craft nikkas will be willing to pay for a fresh cut

Problem is, too many half-azzed barbers want to get the $$$ without putting in quality work. :ld:

In no business, do people raise their prices from 50% to 125% in such a short time, especially when wages have not increased.

These a$$holes are doing this because the next mf in the shop who might actually be worth the $ is charging like that. It only works well if you are in a shop.
Have business start closing up again because of COVID. I guarantee you a lot of barbers phones wont be ringing.

That 60 bucks don't even include the tip...:wow:

In 20 years a hair cut gonna be 80 to 100 dollars....:wow:.

Bald brothers winning out in these streets....:wow:.

If a haircut is 60 bucks then that man weave got to be at least 150 to 200 dollars....:wow:

Never thought I would see the day when a mans hair cut would cost the same or almost the same for a regular pair of gym shoes...:wow:
