Are Barbers Today Over Charging People Or Nah?

No bullshit.....
I just bought this "self haircut kit" from Amazon
I'm gonna try & fade the back & sides myself
No bullshit, it actually comes in tomorrow
Wish me luck :)

Doable. The trick is, start just basic moves. Learn the angles of the clippers: flat, tilted, back or forward. Comb it back after at least two or three passes. Go on eBay and get the 3-way mirror you can hang over you existing one for $28. Start with just low fades, temple and back. Work your fades high each week. Oil your blades each cut.

No haircut is worth over $50.

Also what is up with all these new barbers spray painting hair lines because they cant do a proper lineup? And those are the ones who want to charge exorbitant fees.
Fuck em. My nephew said $60 near him. Fuck em. Oil change is $40, you do fades. Parking lots are light as hell when I drive by. Some have to pay it, but most are going every two weeks or longer. I asked a dude if a man had two sons he has to pay $150 a week plus tip? $600 a month? Ninjas said lil kids are $30. I was like..
 
Just picked up another Wahl hair cutting set (23 piece) for under $25 at Winners last weekend.


It's the back-up for another Wahl set I've been using for years.


Been happy with Conair and Remington sets previously as well.
 
No, he's literally charging the regular cost off a haircut and forcing you to come every week to make it worthwhile. You got $40 outta me twice a month max.
If the deal was up to 8 haircuts a month. Which would be excessive. But this is barely less than $40 a cut. Which is a tiny deal, but now I'm obligated to go every week for it to be worth it for me.

I'm not paying a subscription for haircuts.
 
I can't speak with other cities, but you wasn't walking around Detroit with a janky hairline in the 90s.
Hell naaaaw the hair cut didn't matter in the 1980's cause motherfuckers was transitioning from afro's to curls,shaggs,braids with them beads in em,silky perms,skin fades and 360 waves.

In the 1990's you would rather have no haircut than to have a bowl cut,patchy fucked up cuts or a jehri curl and I knew this because I was old enough to get my ass up at 8 am and be the first person at the barber shop on saturdays every month not knowing I could of came at anytime during the day and I would of wasted the same four fucking hours there no matter how early I came.

*Dave usually cut my hair and Jay-z's brother would if he was there,on the phone an all*

Your hair cut,the tags in your clothes,your shoes on ya feet,ya bike....niggas was cruel
 
The Black Ranger was definitely never a hearthrob. Nigga's most memorable moment was this. :roflmao:

99? Nah more like 94-95, cause thats when the short fades with a crisp line up was necessary
