Are Barbers Today Over Charging People Or Nah?

In all my years of getting a haircut, I never got a receipt from the barber. He must’ve got a cut from one of those commercial spots.
Yeah, me neither because that's crazy getting a receipt after a haircut.
I pay cash and no tip. These barbers already charging a lot.

Yesterdays price is not today's price in any market. I get a regular bald fade waves up top no "enhancements." My old barber started cutting outta his basement during COVID yet he started going up in price but wasn't paying booth rent which makes no sense to me. Once his price went over $60 I stopped going to him.
Yeah, I feel you on that. My barber charging $50 and if he goes over that, I'm done. I'm not paying no damn near a $100 for a haircut.
Man I've truly come to love my bald head...
Being tall with facial hair . Being. Bald is an
Asset plus it's a much cleaner look when you
Go formal ..
But gatdam last time I got a haircut it was twenty five WITH Beard and TIP...
I
Sucka!
I pay $50 and if they go higher than that, then it's FUCK YOU while I go looking for another barber.
That's why I don't give them no tip no more.
If you don't respect your cut you don't respect yourself.
The barbers still doing $30 cuts ain't poppin. They oldheads with no clients.
You tell the gas station you ain't paying more. You tell the electric company you ain't paying more. It's the same gas right? Times change and prices change When the prices went up from 10 dollars a lot of old heads stopped going and it showed. LOL
For me a fresh haircut is priceless. The difference in reception you get when having no cut vs a fresh cut is worth 200/month.
My barber charges 60 I pay 80 every cut. I budget 200/a month for haircuts and hair care.
I kinda stopped at your first sentence...
You know nothing about me or my barbers. Stop wit all the respect shit...
Cutting hair is hardly essential...and if you foolish enough to pay ridiculous amounts for a haircut...WHEN YOUR FKN HAIR GROWS BACK IN A WEEK ANYWAY....you have bigger issues. I like my money. I work hard for it.
Paying 100 for a regular cut is like paying 50.00 for a whopper
You looking stupid
My former barber moved out of state He used to sell bootleg DVDs out the shop. Cats were buying em...some even had watermarks from the free burning software. lol..thanks to the basement, torrents and my other spots....I was able to push his former supplier out the way and supplied dude wit fresh clear movies every week. Before he moved, I hadn't paid for a cut in 10 years at least.
The barter system is best
Niggas want to show off to a bunch of dudes who don't give ah fuck about you.
It's crazy how people want to flex about paying more and paying more doesn't mean quality.
These barbers be buying new cars and houses charging all this money for a regular ass haircut and fools think it's a flex paying $100 for a haircut FOH.
That's why Jalen rose got dreads because after he got fired, he could no longer afford that $100 haircut and that fool used to flex about paying for a $100 haircut.
I'll never let a motherfucka make me feel bad because I'm not willing to go over $30 or $50 for a haircut. FUCK DAT!
Yup, I remembered those days, the barber I used to have did the same same thing ,he'll sell porn DVDs and other bootleg DVDS. Magazines, vending machine or whatever else to earn extra money while keeping the haircut price affordable.
The homey’s son is coming home soon and learned barbering. I told him to start charging $25 and watch that line wrap around the block. If niggas stop talking so much and drawing chalk outlines line crime scene investigations they could 2 done per hour. I haven’t paid for a cut since it went to $40. I cut my own and have for decades. $60 is out-fucking-ragish! If a man walks in with 2 sons he’s dropping $200? Fuck that! Kudos to those getting that money but I ain’t paying that just cuz you wear surgical gloves now.
The consumers made them feel that way with mad dudes was walking around with weird beards and walking around wolfing for months like they couldn't order clippers to groom themselves. There's a lot of occupations that exist cause of human laziness or wanting to learn certain skills. When consumers allow biz to dictate prices and power you get what we currently have in the barber game. I been cutting my hair since I was 15 , saving thousands of dollars each yr for basically 3 decades.. the game could easily be changed if people started cutting their own hair but humans will be humans and barber biz will still go on
The problem is greed, not everyone can cut their own hair nor it makes you a professional learning it on YouTube and a self-cut won't look better than a braber who has skills and is educated as a barber, goes to convention expo to learn the latest techniques and new clippers that's on the market. I understand barbers do a lot to improve their skill and have to pay their bills but the pandemic is an excuse for why they overcharge and also reason why they don't get tips because they charge too much. It's fucked up when they charge $30 to trim ya beard and $60 for a haircut which is robbing people. But if enough people complain the laws could change of what barbers can and can't charge their clients.im not here to make barbers rich and will not pay for those high ass prices.
