Brehs how do Barbershops make enough money to stay open

[Squirrel from Meteor Man]

Barbershops are typically in neighborhoods with lower property value, so low rent and low overhead as far utilities.

You must live in a Cac neighborhood

One on my area, u gotta make an appt, packed all day, and they charge $30-$35

I swear in Detroit It’s one every 3 blocks

I ask myself this question from time to time

Like how they all stay in business

I’m sure the rent is low

My barber told me that he was grossing a mil a year. So he has to be taking home at least 200k for himself after paying everybody and paying rent.

Where are you paying $20 for a cut?

I don’t even question it. There’s 3 barbershops on nostrand Avenue, Same side of the street all with in 2 blocks.

Walk past 11pm on a Tuesday and each one gonna have people getting cut. It’s obviously a biz model that that’s easy to succeed as long as people like your barbers work

I pay $25 but $20 is average these Days

Some owners be extortin nggas $250 - $350 a chair to cut in their spot...5 - 8 chairs...high-traffic..you do the math. Most owners are typically the sharpest nggas themselves and already have a reliable clientele which is why they decided to host a shop in the first place. If the ngga doesn't cut, and runs a barbershop he is likely a hustler/entrepreneur already.

How is that extortion?

That's damn near the bare minimum of effort for cutting

I barber is no appointments, and they open 5am-5pm and it’s people around the clock starting at 5am. No slow down period.

Directly in the hood

If he’s only taking 200k home he’s doing something wrong

Even with the utilities, there isn't even THAT much shyt being used in the grand scheme of things.

A lot of barbers have a shop but also travel to see big money clients like athletes, rappers etc. Gotta have a hustler spirit to be a barber.

i dont have much to add outside of whats been said already but most shops have a commercial cable set-up meaning they bundle internet, two boxes, and two land lines for a cheaper price on average than what private residential customers.

All of my barbers have side hustles and steady clientele.
