Weave is not necessary and if weave is used it's in at months at a time... Still costly but not so far off from dudes monthly prices
Then it's not a habit it's his m.o. so why tip lol
And a fresh line up aint necessary either. Could just get a clipper and go across your own head.
And it is more. I can get a hair cut and it will still look fresh 2 weeks later depending on what size clipper i use 1A or a 2. I could go 1 month easily with light at home maintenance.
A bad bitch who allways has to have her hair done has to drop that money once a month. We talkin $300 a month v.s $30 a month. You can just go back and get a line up which is cheaper
Only cat in the city that's been able to cut my shit right. I sit, give a nod, and he knows what to do. I believe that should be rewarded.
The times I go and the cooning jumps, I get stingy.
It's not a perfect situation, but it's definitely not worth trying to find another barber in the city that cuts right, works well with my schedule, proximity to home, etc...
55 for twists redone taper and line. then a tip.
That’s your justification for overpaying for services? Lol.
$30 take that and buy your own clippers and edgers and learn how to cut yourself because it's not that hard once you get the basic's down and you will start to learn that there's no such thing as a perfect anything when it comes to cutting hair,it's just your perception ;I know dudes that will go get a crisp cut weekly just to put a cap on their dome afterwards.
LOL, what you know about that app? My barber trying to get set up with it but he isn't yet. He said the dude that cuts beside him only cuts by appointments using the app (a younger cat).
I don't think $30 is necessarily overpaying. Back in the day a barber could support their family with their craft alone. Today, many barbers have other gigs. $30 gets maybe 2 customers per hour, more likely one or one and a half. Out of this taxes, supplies and rent must still be paid.
Many brothers wait longer to get their cuts. Many have gone the bald headed route. Less income.
However, most haven't charged $30 per head yet. Mine charges $20 and I give $10 in tips. $10 or $20 extra to help a brother out. I'll skip Outback or su'm.
You are good and generous. I pay $20 plus $3 tip. I’m in Atlanta.
My barber transitioned over to that app when the prices went up to $25
This is how I was able to see what several barbers within 10 miles were charging.
Everybody was STARTING at $25.
There are a few of these in Houston in the 3rd Ward area
Forgot to mention, there's a whole new trend of these "gentlemen's shops". Catered to while clientele.
They are $45 a cut and $65 for the beard and haircut. Products and neck/scalp massage could run you to $120 or so.
These deal with the antique and vintage look shops. Many of them around Houston too. But they are all over the country as well.

You said a bad bitch... Do you know the definition of a bad bitch? A bad bitc h naturally looks good and literally does lil to have to look good.. A bad bitc h could have a low cut like a dude, a bad bitc h could have an afro, braids, dreads, regular hair that needs a lil brushing/combing... If you want to get technical...so a bad bitc h could literally have a cheap priced haircut/hairdo also
$20 bucks flat...
Real talk I’m not understanding this tip logic? If you’re constantly tipping, what happens when you stop??

My barber uses it, pretty cool app it shows their available time once you book an appointment it goes to requested the barber will confirm the appointment within minutes you can also pay through the app if they turn on mobile pay option
Do you tip your waiter or waitress?
$7 special on Tuesdays and Wednesday’s around my way!
13th where that barber school
Now this I agree with the kids prices.
My barbershop just went up to $25 for a standard haircut.
I always tip $5 on top of the service, but I can't do it anymore.
There's just no way to justify paying $30 for a taper fade.
I can't believe it costs this much to get a haircut now.
Since I don't know how to cut my own shit, I'd been looking for alternatives.
So a friend of mine told me he goes to the barber college near his house to get his haircuts for $5.
He said they give fire ass haircuts and most of the students have been cutting hair for years, but just going to school to do it LEGALLY.
So I took his advice and went to one too.
The haircut I got was actually better than my "go-to" barber for the last five years.
Not to mention I saved $20.
No talking on the cell phone, random arguments, smoke breaks or walking next door to the store.
I was in and out.
I'm not going to my barbershop ever again.
Yep I'm in Houston and I been paying 25 bucks with a tip included. When a cut was 10 bucks I went every week. Now shit aint' often plus my hair don't grow quick like it used to. Shit I wear a ball cap fuck paying 25 bucks a week. These niggas done out priced themselves. I tried a shop in Pearland but the dude who cut me shit just wasn't what I was used to. Its a nigga in 3rd Ward called Cole Cutz who cut good but I saw his prices and said nawwllllllll.
I don't like them by appt ass niggas. Don't wanna take walk ins and shits. Them boys don't realize a lot of cats don't want to live by a schedule when they off work. I'm sorry but on my off day I aint sticking to no schedule for a cut. They are a service and need to be available.
Been cutting my hair since my brother, who was a barber, died in 2011
Man that shit is annoying.
I've seen barbers just chilling, clicking around on the phone or sleeping for 30 min waiting on an appointment.
So instead of knocking out a head or two while waiting, they'd just rather say "nope" with a waiting area full of people.
