White folks do it all the time: offer a basic product or service, and upcharge the fluck out of it to make it seem limited, premium, or just that much more valuable. And of course doing this help put Nipsey on the map.

If you have that much of a pedigree as a barber, and your testimonials are all positive, I’m not mad at cha :yeshrug:

I could see that bein' a thing. I hear women brag about how much they paid for their weave/do. Only a matter of time before the male sheep get on the train. $100 haircuts only need to appear in a line or 2 of a trap song and nikkas will run to the most expensive barbers they can find.


Women only pay $100 because that shyt be like 3 hours. 25/hr + tip.

I'll never pay $100, you don't even gotta do shyt to make my hair look good.

I could see a $100 cut being worth it depending on how skilled the barber is and how affluent the clientele is. I expect a barber to be able to make a career out of their skills

Some women pay WAY more than $100. And it's because of who they go to, not because that's what it's worth.

Maybe not you, but it will be a thing, trust. The same reason folks wearin' brands costin' what they do, only because of the name/logo, folks will start payin' more for cuts.

Yup!

With 25 trap albums droppin' per week, that many more barbers will have such clientele.

Before I started cutting my own shyt through HS and college, pops used to give me $20 and that covered the cut and tip. I grew my shyt out, so I gotta get my taper professionally again. $30 before tip :mjcry:

fukk that. These barbers are idiots. Only Hispanics and black people have barbers, but they'll get dropped quick. They're creeping at 30 bucks already :smh:

They shyt be lasting like 2 and 3 months though.

They shyt cost more because it takes 3-4 hours and it last 2 months. Ain't got nothing to do with who they go to. Nothing to brag about.
