What the fukk is up with these barber prices?

[KGlock]

yh not even broke and I'm reconsidering having to pay these extortionate prices. One breh said it on YouTube and he opened my eyes. All that money I'm giving my barber (who made an uptick since 21) I could be saving for motherfukking coupe or down payment on some property.

Getting them self assist cut kits and learning to fade my own shyt. I can do a passable fade but imma get serious and get them triple mirror shyts and other accessories. 2024 onwards the world will continue to find ways to drain your money. Inflation will continue to rise before it drops. So dudes gotta continue to find new ways to make passive income and save on shyt they can save on. That's how the rich get and stay rich.

Having to get in line for booking or waiting ages for a barber gets tedious. Also when I used to cut my own shyt here and there in past I always feel accomplished. I say this shyt now and still end up going to a barber for convenience but it's definitely one of the goals on my list.

I jump back and forth between my OG barber and the Dominicans.

I can’t go to the Dominican shop. I’d be too tempted to be like “I no black, papi” just once, then get caught up when they start speaking Spanish at me.

I would start swinging on them on some Taliban shyt. Call it suicidal, but that money should stay in black people's hand that are actually proud to be black

Pandemic showed barbers that their services are valued, and that people place a HIGH priority on having a fresh cut.
If dudes were willing to risk health to go sit in a barber chair wearing a mask when most of the country was home, they will obviously pay an inflated price for a hair cut post pandemic.

But They LOSING a lot of long-time customers, chasing for superficial shyt that doesnt matter.

I just saw that.

This is true. My barber went up to 30 and them Puerto Ricans had them stressing because they were charging 15. People are going to move if they can find a cheaper barber.

yea dawg, my pro-blackness extends the length of a coin when you price gouging...I'm halfway there anyway. I'll just walk around this hoe looking like Cornell West

If people weren't willing to pay, their prices would have been adjusted.
They calculated that the amount they are charging is worth the amount of customers they may lose.

Charge much more, cut fewer heads, make more money.

My new barber is dope and charges $35 for my bald fade including beard. Has his own suite and is always on time , I hope he never goes anywhere.

 

[ISO]

They say NY expensive

But brehs paying $60 for haircuts and $45-75 for eighths in these other cities

 

[EndDomination]

cost of living has risen substantially.

a barber with a flawless run of $20 a cut, 10 cuts a day, five days a week, no holidays, is going to make $52,000 a year before taxes.

how many barbers do you know that average that?

barbers have wives, husbands, kids, parents, rent/mortgages, car payments, chair rental, food, health insurance, etc -

makes sense why prices would rise -

 

[Yagirlcheatinonus]

I pay 40 weekly. I got the taper fade with beard line up

 

[Sterling Archer]

I'm 2023 now and I doubt that

Mexican barbers still like that
