Barbers are now charging $60 for a cut in The Bay Area

[UberEatsDriver]

You can still get a nice cut in NY for 25-30. Thank god barbers are a big hustle in this city. So much barbers they have to keep the price decent

 

[Tres Leches]

in the last 20 years cuts are up like 100% at least

[Serious]

TBF everything in the bay is already expensive.

 

[Goat poster]

That was just over 20 years ago.

How does a basic haircut go 5 times the amount in just 2 decades?

Cause barbers are trying to keep up with inflation prices.

I kind of don’t blame them, they are business people at the end of the day.

Everything is inflating but people’s wages

Now hold on.. thought you lived in Hunters Point? Redwood City is bout same distance to hunters point than Oakland probably less traffic as well once you past SFO

Oakland actually a journey from hunters point for a hair cut

Nah, its beyond inflation. They got caught up in that Kevin Durant hype, and think that any random barber can charge $100 per head. I see these barbers bragging about how they copping new whips and stunting in new cribs since the last 8 months.

Yup it was about a good 17 years ago, I remember it well because I’d go every Saturday morning like clockwork to get a fade and it was $10, and a $5 tip. Shortly after that I went bald and learned how to shape up my beard on my own. Haven’t been in a barbershop in over 20 years.

can’t believe it’s $60 now for a cut, that sounds like a ripoff, but I guess everything nowadays is more expensive than back in the day.

These barbers want to stunt and pop bottles

How you make over $4000 liquid cash in a busy week, and claim that you are broke?

 

[Robo Squirrel]

That’s crazy, I remember I use to get a fade way back in the day for $10

I know it wasn't even that long ago. Id say 10 years tops it was $20. nikkas would take walk ins and all the shyt. Now you gotta go online to BOOKSY or appointments ONLY fukkery. Who do these barbers think they are nowadays? nikkaz turned uppity as a mf.
All you had to ask is how much?

"DUB!" Have a seat.

Things used to be so simple man.

It costs me $120 to get my locs maintained every couple of months in Oakland, and I have to drive from Sonoma county.

Theyre doing less appointments but better quality. Thats fair. Always cheap alternative if you want em


Commercial real estate has been fukked in the bay for about a decade. Example clubs that paid about 8-11k in rent in 2010-2013 are now up to 20-25k in rent since about 2016. Laws need to be implemented to prevent this. Landlords will look tenets who been there 20 years in the face and say pay it or close it
