This shit is wild!!! I gave my barber a bottle and gift card as a parting gift back in 2011 and been doing mine ever since. Finally came on home and I like giving myself a fresh baldy in 5 minutes. I cant see paying 2-3 hundred a month to stay fly.
Are Barbers Today Over Charging People Or Nah?

Right, it shouldn't cost a arm and leg to get a haircut when it doesn't even take that much time.This shit is wild!!!

These barbers want to live beyond their means charging these high ass prices.
They think because their expensive ass barber chair or barshop being upscale with luxury furniture warrant to charge clients a lot of money..FOH.
At least in Philly and outside of it, I got plenty of choices to get with another barber when I want to after being priced out.

Yeah. I know for a fact my old barber raised them prices through the roof to pay for his new benz and house. I bought some clippers like 5-6 years ago and never looked back. Cant fuck up a bald head and goatee.
I just haven't gotten to that point to want to do that yet.
I've been thinking about getting a baldy.
I don't have a receding hairline and my hair grows fast with my hairline being perfect.
But when it comes to saving money, it seems like the right route to go, but the problem is I'm now ready to cut all my hair off to go bald yet.
Yeah, I still have all my hair too even though it's going gray and my hairline is fine. It's just that I could never figure out how to do a fade. Shaving it bald is just easier/faster and I like how it looks anyway with my beard. Plus I save so much money/time/gas it was a no brainer for me. My brother's all just started growing braids/dreads years ago and I tried but I can't stand all that shit on my head.
Nah. I get mine done in the upper mission for $35 including tip. Same price as lunch for two at Taco Loco
You're at the beach and your head looks like the top of an ice cream sundae with all that black dripping down.Barbers say that spray paint and spray gun they use to make your basic haircut look crispy until you shower or it rains isn't cheap
Yeah, because barbers are overcharging for a haircut.
Shit if you making about $50 off of every cut all you need is 40 customers a week and that’s an automatic 2000 a week… 52 weeks in a yr.. that’s 104,000 a yr( b4 the chair fee)
Yeah, that's why people want to become a barber. They can easily make six figures depending on how many people that comes into their shop needing a haircut.
Also, barbers are entrepreneurs along with it being recession proof..
Also the dudes that do house calls or have a mobile barber joint....Big money
Yup, I forgot about that, them mobile barbers make bank.
Also, barbers can sell other things like hairspray, shampoo, combs, beard oil, vending machine or wherever else they have for extra money.
Nigga, somebody woulda died that day.
This is what I'm currently paying my barber.
He is 3 minutes from my job.
I can get a cut and something to eat, all within an hour.

I’m currently at $35, but I’ll add a $5 tip to bring to $40.?
Most of these barbers charging $70 or more for a basic cut are in spots where there's not a lot of competition. Best part of living in Queens is that there's way too much competition for a barber to try to charge $80 for the same cut the dude down the block charges 30 for. My dude pretty much said there's way too much competition in the area for him to get away with that....
These new barbers be so delusional. Just listen to shit the lightskin barber is saying in this video to justify his services. Man, shit sound like one these delusional brawds talking bout what they bring to the table in a relationship.
