I paid like $10 a cut in the hood in 2005, cuts aint advance that far since then. Barber hustling us. Top tier cuts should be 40-50 MAX and im talking elite barbers.

It's a little bit less straightforward than that. They barber has to deal with increased overheads and from a personal point of view higher cost of living.

That being said, my cuts cost £15. Used to be £10.

It changed during covid.

Barbers charged more due to "risk" and it nevrr went back down

They're whale hunting.

Dont come to Atlanta if you want a cut under $50.

On base, the cuts are $12.

I used to get cut in Tampa by Dominicans for $20 in 2019. I bet their prices are still under $30.

That accounts for the barbershop who charged $25 who charge $40 now. But what about the barbers who charge $80 from $25? I see barbers pulling out golden clippers and I shyt you not I saw one pull off in a cts-v the other day lol

Its the part where they dont wanna separate a cut from a clean up from a line up.......everything one price no matter what is the diabolical part for me

I believe it.

I cut my own hair for the past 10 years +

I got tired of wearing a hat after a couple weeks.

My final time I went to the barbershop I told. Myself I am going to make mental notes of how he cuts my hair. Where he starts, where he goes next,, whst clippers he used, etc.

That was my last time. I love my barber tho. He cut my hair since I was a kid.
