Last year I found this shop located in a very suburb part of Jersey, ran by this young hispanicac. That shop was the first shop that I been to that had online appointments which was :ooh: to me at the time. The owner parks his Maserati literally right in front of the store for everybody to see. Whatever. He charges me $25-$30 for a simple ass low fade. I’m like wtf :dahell: I can get this same cut in my city for $15 flat. And you would think that the owner should be the nicest nikka in the shop when in reality he was like the 3rd out of like 6.
nikkas whipping foreigns off of barbering.
To be fair though most of the shop’s clientele are cacs, a few brothers every now and then and an Asian sprinkled in. shyt is getting ridiculous out here.

I've been paying $30-35 a minute. Which I don't mind because it's honest work, but I make sure to go on slow days so that I can get full treatment and not get rushed over. shyt there's times my barber takes close to 2 hours cut me because she's trying make sure I look fly as hell.

I prefer this over a 20minute CUT that looks like shyt.

These haircut prices getting outrageous, and Most of these barbers using that bullshyt spray on stuff so the skills are falling off

At this rate the normal haircut price gonna be $50 in 3-4 years.

Imagine paying $200 a month in haircuts without a tip :picard:
How do brehs allow some guy to spray paint on their head while focusing on the haircut they getting though?

"Aight I want a fade, a line-up and DON'T use any spray aight" is all you'd have to say right. I don't assume these barbers are spraying this without permission pause
:gucci:

I think it's because barbers know brehs want a fresh cut to get hoes, so they tax customers. $50 sounds absolutely ridiculous, inflation or no inflation.

I keep telling you young dudes to find a compentent barber and stick with him. They are not easy to find. I had the same barber who looks like an ex tempations member whose been cutting my hair for over 25 years. He's pushing 80 but a good barber is like a hetero life partner. I pay him $40 but his work is immaculate. With that said anything over 20 is highway robbery especially if he doesn't line you up with a straight razor.

I pay 20-25, but I know barbers in the city and Jersey still charging 13-15 and eating well. A lot depends on location and traffic in the area.

Barbers were really eating good when everyone was going with the Ball is Life/nappy fro cut the last few years. Charging full cut prices for lineup’s worth of time. That’s kinda going away now though.

Some barbers try and makeup for their lack of clientele by charging $40+ off top, that’s gotta :camby:

These dudes down here stay packed

If I hit my barber on Wednesday to get a cut on Friday he can’t even get me in....and he been cutting me since 1999 :mjlol:

Nah nikka, your barber hates YOU if you're only giving dude $22.

I give $25(20 cut + 5tip) or if I've gone awhile n made his job harder than normal, $30-35.

$50 at Christmas for the blessing.

Be liberal with that man op, he's your guardian angel

This man gets it. My pops said aside from family and your girl. All a man needs in life is a good barber and a good mechanic.
