Its a market correction that happened too fast as well.

What was 20 went to 40 then 60. Not including the tip.

Not saying it shouldnt necessarily be 60, if the quality of work and tools/products is quality.

But to increase it that much and start rambling off a bunch of bullshyt as the reason, when they using the same ol wahl t-liner from 2001, aint cuttin it. No pun.

Barbers should consider taking the nail/eyel lash tech route and do that shyt out they home or garage. Much less overhead.

I pay $65 in LA...........no tip:aicmon:

We’re getting hosed here on the West Coast. I’m $60 all in here in the Bay.

When I first moved out here there was a guy charging like $120 for a cut…TF?!?

First thing I do anytime I go back to Nigeria is go to my main barber.

They have the VIP treatment which comes with a cut, beard trim and a foot pedicure (wash feet, clean, file and trim toenails). Nigeria is hot and men tend to wear more open toed shoes/sandals so not uncommon for men of means to get pedicures. No polish or buffing though :whoa:

All of this for $20-25

@Raw Lyrics how much does your friend charge for hair cuts? You mentioned he was Hispanic and works in New York sanitation as well.

Eastside of that Motor
It was a wrap 10 years ago when nikkaz started the sponge messy fro. When I started growing out my hair my barber charged me $20 in like ‘14 when the last time it was $10 :gucci:

He had the nerve to say “because I gotta fade it” :what:

After that I just lined myself up. I got the hook up now tho. I’ve been loc’d for 12 years now and my girl who does my locs also is a barber so I get everything all in one.

But yeah barbers out of pocket now a days with the prices
