I'm getting raped with these prices that they charge... They wanna charge $15 for a cut then $5 more to line up your beard.. I use to go every two weeks when I was working more and not in school. Now I manage every 3 weeks..

On top of all that one of the barbers tried to scam me the other day. I seen him 3 weeks and it was my first time getting lined up/cut by him because the place was jam packed and I wanted to get outta there. He did a pretty good job though, so I hit him up yesterday asking when he's good and how much for a cut.

He tells me $30 but he can do it for $25 :why:

I said "nah aint it usually $15 + $5"

He was like " Oh thats usually what I charge ( the $30) but I got you"

Im thinking GTFOH BUT... I dont know any other barbershops in the area really ( I'm in the Joliet area).. My old Bshop was a 30 minute drive plus the sometimes 30 minute wait then a 30 minute drive so now Im stuck with this place..

They do but nobody there really stands out to me that I HAVE to have them cut .. They all do about the same job, not bad at all but if I miss one the next one is usually the same


I just dont like how this dude tried to hit me with the okey doke talking about he usually charges $30 and I know damn well he dont..

Buying my own clippers is the best decision I made as a college student.. What clippers do u guys use? I hate those weak flimsy guards that bend when u press down and gap your hair.... If I could learn to taper Lawddd

I gotta know.. Is it wrong not to tip a barber, How much of my $20 is already going to him?? I know they have chair fees and all but theyre making $20 under an hour and they stay packed....

I remember being able to get everything done for $15.

Came back after being in Miami for 3 years and in the South Loop they want $25-30. :favre:

Found a spot that does it for 20 though.
