Between long wait times and rising prices, you learn your way around a pair of clippers.
A haircut should be $20 MAX
I'm not paying anymore than that on principle
Since the iPhone, business owners have learned that if they ask, you'll give.
Once Beats By Dre took off, mfs knew for a fact they can charge whatever they want for shyt and people will pay.
fukk that.
The consumers ultimately has control of the market, but they dont know it.

That my guy 360Jeezy?

He actually explained why he charges 50$ on a stream the other day.

Basically supply and demand as he was getting a lot of request but couldn't get to everyone. He also likes cutting new peoples hair.

I have no problem with them charging that much though. There are still cheaper barbers out there.

I mean how much should barbers charge to make a living? How much would you charge?

Black barbershops are 1 of 2 black businesses we have and y'all wanna give that up?

Boi if u don't-:mjlol:


I'm black too. I got a family. I got bills. I'm not overpaying for a haircut because the person is black (which they better be anyways).

When you go to the weed man, do you give him 10-20 dollars over the price because his business is black owned?

I’ve had the same barber most of my life (was my dads barber so it stay in the fam) so the prices always stayed pretty steady. I also stay growing my shyt out tho so I rarely need a whole cut :blessed:

his kids cut hair and cut mine for the same price since I was a kid too :blessed:

At the end I saw this coming..in 06-07...but the barber was always a 20 dollar trip no matter what...but I really don't miss those days. But I wished my generation grew hair out like they do now. We always kept a low fade with waves mostly during my time. With all these new styles the barber is now a " hair-dresser" so he/she has to charge way more than the standard "bald fade" or "ceaser cut" we rocked

I pay my barber 20 if I go to his house, 40 to come to me. I think that's fair.

Barbers got to eat too. Inflation affects everyone.

I pay $30 including tip.

That seems fair.

Learn how to cut your own shyt if you're going to complain :manny:
