The standard rate at Black barbershops is now $35-$40

Man, barbers are not busy during the day while most people are at work and school.
They might go 2-3 hours in between heads during the week.
Especially Monday-Wednesday.
But when its a full house and people are waiting, they're just leaving money on the table.
That's not a hustlers mentality.

That’s not true especially if your a good barber with clientele smh. Just like any job or hustle there’s peak times and down times. Let’s say you average 100 heads a week. What is there difference between doin 20 heads Tues -wed and the other 80 thurs - sat vs 20 heads per day tues-sat. Dead time and workload

My clientele is mostly 20-40 y.o. weekly or biweekly clients thurs-sat. Once i figured that i stopped workin Tuesday and rolled my Tuesday heads into weds because i hate the dead time and don’t mind an increased workload.

It’s not leaving money on the table if u can get it the next day smh

I just switch to a new barber after having the same dude cut my hair for the last 10 years (dude was fucking my shit up)new dude only charge 15 plus a $5 tip not bad good cutter too....the shop is new so I can see him going up soon
 
It is getting rediculous, lucky for me my barbers movie guy is dumb as fuck. Dude was giving him movies with watermarks from the software..


Had to slide right into that spot. Hes actually caking off me. All I ask for is a cut and no wait.

Cuts free, about 2-3 a month
 
cheap bastids, lol

even when it is 20-25 bucks i always tipped out so it was 30.00
no way i cannot support a black man's business and if the service is good i have no probs tipping.

Nah mane. I’m old enough to remember $7 cuts and until I moved to atlanta was paying $20 (with tip), these atlanta barbers wanting &15 just for a lineup. I got a sponge Afro so I don’t even need much, but you want $20 just to clean my neck and line it? $30 for a cut? If I want some elaborate shit, parts, fade, with beard and mustache I can see it. But my shit is twist fro. Nah. If I come in with it picked out and need the whole haircut, sure but I don’t.

i remember quarter pounders being under 2 bucks but that's just how it is. we complain about people not making a living wage but when the services reflect that living wage we then complain... can't have it both ways.
 
I pay around 20 to 30 now

But I've been going to the same barber for over 15 years...

I don't even ask anymore.

I just give him my card and he puts in whatever.

But it was like 20 for YEARS and YEARS

I have no idea what i would pay a new barber.
 
I saw all that shit coming and taught myself to cut my sons hair years ago. Every time I cut his hair that's $50 dollars saved considering food and traveling costs.
 
$13 for cut
7 to $10 tip.

I aint paying no $30 dollars for no cut, unless it comes with some perks. Like skipping the fucking line, etc...
 
Cost of living here in Texas is not like NY/NJ so $30 is understandable.
If haircuts are $25 up North, they should at least $15 here.
Hell I flew into JFK just two months ago and fuckin cheeseburger meal at McDonalds in the airport was $10 dollars.

Man, I paid over ten for a two piece combo at popeyes near DC. Who snitched about the sandwiches? I was eating them up to April.
 
I got 3 boys. I call there barber and ask him how many heads he has. He then puts me in and I get there right before they get in the chair. I love the convo and music of the shop but I just dont have the time anymore. Especially with school starting back up
