Used to go to a Cuban barber for a good price but that mf stay being late and cancelling appts. Always call me papi too:dame:
To be fair, the ones that call you papi are the ones that give fire haircuts. My problem are these young Latino brehs charging over $70 for a basic ass buzz fade cut :childplease: Mean while older Julio cutting the same cut for $30

$70! Sorry, me no hablo spanish, papi :mjpls:

I've been cutting my own hair since HS. I did it mostly by the sound of the clippers when doing a tight fade. So long as you keep the speed of the clippers up and down motion you can hear how much you are taking off. After that I would hold a mirror with one hand and clean it up with the other hand holding the clippers. Shout out to the medicine cabinet mirror as well.

Ufdup mirror

I used to cut my name in my hair. High top fade, gumby and all that shyt (90s)

Bathroom mirror situation was on 10 tho. Basically 360 view

Today I use a handheld and the medicine cabinet mirror but I take it down to a 2 on the edges instead of tryna fade fade.

Glad that he saw the bigger picture. You gotta stay connected to the community and be aware of its concern about daily expenses and all. Price gouging is now making long time customers skip the shop altogether and distancing yourself from genuinely good people. Going from $20 to $55 in less than 5 years is ripping people off.
those barbers dont gaf about the community they waste ur hard working free time eating chicken wings and running errands as soon as u get in the chair.

get mad when u dont tip them 4 a $40 caesar
:childplease:

Most barbers don't know how to cut your hair the way ask anyway. It's like they can do 3 cuts and that's all they really can do. Ask they ass for a mid taper fade and see if yo shyt don't come out like high box with no cups. nikkas really be trash for real but the "good" barber is really just that one cut that's decent even if it ain't what you asked for.

I remember paying back in the day $20 including the tip for a cut. Times have definitely changed.

Rent is going up. Barbers are trying to go for that certain look. Like breh just get a chair, some ac or heat and power and cut my shyt.

You'll get plenty of heads at 25-30 bucks.

10 heads at 50 bucks is 500 bucks

20 heads at 30 bucks is 600 bucks

You're get more heads at 30 bucks than 50 bucks.

Find a place that's cheap to pay rent
