That was just over 20 years ago.

How does a basic haircut go 5 times the amount in just 2 decades?
Same way everything else has… inflation. 10 years ago I had rent in the $600s paying 15-20 for a cut. That same apartment complex is going for 1100 and decent cuts here are 30-35

When I moved to the DMV from Philly in 2015, I left a good barber and was worried about finding a good one down there

I found a chick that cut hair and she started out $40 and she was sharp

After a few months, she went to a new shop and started charging $45, no problem

After a few more months, she opened up her own shop at Lenfant Plaza, $50 a cut, no problem

After a year, she went up to $60 a cut and that's when the issues started

She started cutting celebs and athletes...she eventually went up to $100 a cut and I had to gracefully bow out

She was super sharp, always got compliments on my cut and beard but I just couldn't imagine paying that much every 7-10 days

I'm up, but I ain't a millionaire
