Let's say booth rent is 1200/month. If a barber making $500 daily, that rent is covered in a little over 2 days

Breh you saying 30 minutes a head. I've never in my life had a hair cut that was 30 mins, like y'all want these dudes working like slaves. That's literal insanity. It's at least one hour minimum for a good haircut. If you larry holmes your cuts will probably be 30 mins:flabbynsick::flabbynsick::flabbynsick:

$35 + tip at 9 people for 9 hours is $315. And that's pre tax. You're talking a week's worth of work to cover $1200 rent.

Barbers should never be crying about being broke if they make $500+ a day on average. Barbers That needlessly raise their prices over the "inflation" excuse have bad money management, where they passing it down on their clients. 100% and above price raises is not "inflation" its price gouging.

Barbers are NOT making $500/day. Maybe if they're working 14 hour days, it's possible, but most aren't.

Yep, i treat barbers like special occasion cuts now. Like i'm headed for an important interview let the barber do his thing. otherwise i'm cutting it myself.
I'm headed to a wedding gonna be alot of photos taken, cool i'll hit up a barber. them prices aren't for weekly or biweekly cuts anymore.

When charing $50 a head, they can easily cut hair for 10 to 12 people in any given day. Fridays and Saturdays they can make a legit $800 per day including tips.

But then y'all complain how there's no black businesses. I know the Chinese would make a killing if he opened up shop with $10

haircuts.

I'll y'all cook though. :hubie:

Except barbers aren't charging that. Your basic cut averages to $25-$30.

We're not women nikka. Do you want to be one? :what:
Women get washed, conditioned, dried, trimmed, and styled. The comparison is not equal
Cutting hair is an art.

We like to think it's that simple to cut hair and shape up our hairlines and such but it's not, it's takes skill, precision, etc 🤷🏾‍♂️ barbers lives aren't easy.

You can cut your hair at home but it's not gonna come out the same way as a professional barber and it's for the reasons I started.

In 2022? Cuts are north of $40.

Do the math, these barbers are eating like never before in history.

Still use black barbers, just don't go there as often because of the price.

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 you address the prices on rent they have to pay which are probably driving the cost increases.
