great thread. i always thought this. then i thought my barber had the ultimate hustle. He charges 30 for just a cut. he will do my beard for that price because im an og client but i end up tipping him 10 or so. 40 for a cut with deisgn or color enhancing. 50 and up w/ color lightening. house call for 200.
all of his cuts are scheduled for an hour. but all of the over head cost are w.e his house utilities are. he does this out of his basement/garage. he has a nice little set up and its only him. he has to be maaaking at least 100k and he also hhandles some steelers players and occasionally celebs if they ever come to pgh and need a cut.
