Why do y’all do this

:laff:
It's true

Notice how the prices of a cut keep going up

Now when a barber starts looking you dead in the face and telling you the base price for a cut is $50 and you got some corporate company plopping down wherever they can afford space because you know damn well most barbershops aren't "black owned" since they don't own the property...what do you think is going to happen?

Its simple economics...my neighborhood alone all the shops looking for people because them chairs are empty

$20 a cut ain't paying rent like it used to

I literally had to fire my barber of the last 3 years due to him raising prices within that time span. It went from 40-50-60 in that period just for a base cut and it got up to $50 for my 8 year old Son. :whoa: That’s when I had to realize that I lived in a major black metropolitan area and the market for a decent haircut is not that high. My Son and I get the same low wave cut with a taper on the side and back. No parts and no enhancements, just simple cuts. No beard or coloring for me and no crazy cut for him. So I got on the app called “The Cut” and found the closest and highest rated barber to me. I have since cut my cost average down from $110 a week to $60 week for my Son and I and the cuts are faster and just as good of quality. Oh, and the barbershop is closer to my residence.

This thread is a prime example why you don't go in business for black folks. nikkas got $1200 Hellcat payments, will spend $200 on jordans and $500 on a gucci belt, but a $35 haircut is ridiculous. Black women be dropping $200 on hair and $100 on nails so you can't blame them.

Never go in business for black folks. That shyt better cater to cacs:mjpls::hubie:

I said what I said.

You better cater to every demographic. Unless you a European Cac that sell name brand, then black folks will pay top dollar.

The last time I payed for a haircut it must have been bout $18..back in like 2014 :mjlol:

Ole buddy said $110 a week for him and his son :mjlol:

Thank the gods I picked up a pair of clippers a decade ago. I'd have to pay for my cut and come back later and rob the barber :mjlol:

Learned how to line myself up and was going half as much, once I learned how to fade/taper well enough it was a wrap :mjlol:
No matter how packed the shop is or how retarded these prices get knowing I can go home and pour a 5th of Henn and cut myself up in 35 mins is :ahh:


I do miss talking shyt wit my dawgs at the shop tho :to:

ATL, but rasied in DMV
I've been cutting my own hair bald since 97. And although I've been wearing a full beard for over 2 years, I still don't feel up to finding a barber. It doesn't feel like I'm gonna click to well with most of them, especially down here in the ATL. After moving from the DMV, I would have thought finding a barber would be easy. Today, it's hard to even find a doctor, dentist, or vet down here, where it don't feel like I'm gonna clash heads with one of them, or one of their staff sooner or later. But I guess that's neither here or there.

Anyway, based on the prices they be charging these days, I'll probably keep doing my own beard as well.

Why do bruhs complain about a $50 cut when Black women go to beauty salons and they pay around $50 or more to get their hair done and they aren't complaining 🤷🏾‍♂️.

My barber (who've I've seeing since I was an adolescent) ain't charging $50 but I don't see what's the big deal about it, women pay more to get their hair done.

Breh. TheCut is the shyt. That's how I found my barber for the last 2 years. He's based out of Mo City and charge $35 for cut and beard. I'm in and out in 30-35 minutes. Then I go home and get pounced on.
