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

[DonRe]

They feeling it though. Shops are now empty friday and saturdday like never before.

Plus the young kids and thier goofy sideshow bob hairstyle, they only really need a line up. Before it was more ceasar cuts.

Barbers are wildin.

All I need is a beard line up every couple weeks and I pay 12. If my barber goes up with that shyt then I’m gone

People in here complaining but will not learn how to cut their own hair.

Just be like cacs and get a shapeup every 4-5 months.

[CashmereThoughts]

I’m in NYC and my shop cuts a lot of celebrities and nfl players and shyt and the cut with the beard appointment is $50. If I want to go cheap the Dominicans is under $30

I don’t understand how they be taxing like this is these other markets

Bro he has prices up to 210/hr where it’s the father and son combo. Straight scamming

When you can build that type of clientele, you can do that. It’s levels to it.

Same reason I pay $50 when it’s $30 cuts all over the place. I’m paying for the professionalism, for the fact that I know he’s going to keep my appointment, etc

 

[Optimus Prime]

Been cutting my hair since the early 2000s
Get you some Osters with a #1 and #2 blade and use beard clippers for edge up

 

[Shang Tsung]

Barbers charging more than landscapers

Then there’s the goofies who’ve fallen into being shamed into being happily ripped off

A bad haircut isn’t going to be like my house falling apart or my car not working and barbers shouldn’t be charging like skilled mechanics

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.

I went to ATL and got a $50 trash ass cut. Then I got hustled with that swivel screen and thought I clicked 20% tip which was really $20. Walked out paying $70 and feeling robbed.

Just takes some practise. For reference I was still getting the same amount of hoes when I started cutting my own hair during the pandemic.
