Barbershop Prices are Outpacing Inflation: $70 dollar cuts??

Bald and bearded gang winning. Shave it off and cop some t-outliners to crisp up the beard lines. It ain’t that hard.

In 2000 a cut was 10 bucks. Calculate for inflation today that's $19. And miss me with cost of living and all that. Cost of living was calculated into the $10 price back then so the inflation bump has the calculation built in. And none of us have gotten properly compensated for the cost of living increase so barbers need to tough it out like everybody else. A cut should be $20 at most, $25 if you get your beard tended to, and after the tip you're out the door at $30. That's more than fair.

Here in the Bay I pay $60 all in with a $5 tip. Every two weeks. Temp fade with a trim on the mustache and beard.

I got hit with $70 in Houston just this past August. I was shocked…thought shyt in the south was supposed to be cheaper

[africngiant]

nikkas surcharging for chair rentals on a chair they already permanantly own? and they’re requesting tips after? that’s tough

 

[Chris Cool]

My barber went from $20 pre COVID to $50 now.


That nikka never gotta line no more though.

 

[Diyhai]

nope someone is willing to pay that higher price
just weed out the people who want to pay less
thats if u are a really good barber
you can charge a $100 and just stay with that clientele
