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

Since September for me. Not on purpose though. 2 week stay in the hospital leading to being out of work on sick leave equals me not caring right now. Gonna get it cut soon though.

Sorry about that

My case is kinda bit different. Came from overseas and in a lockdown. I would call my barber but I just wanna see how this goes. I won't mind staying put till end of march.

Come what may will do something around early April when I will head out again.

will def need travel kit
 
yeah started cutting my own hair last summer-got tired of waiting for the barbershops to open.
i like the clippers i got but i need to get the cordless joints
 
What is the world coming to when bruthas let anybody but another Black man cut your hair. Its 2 times in my life a Black man hasn't cut my hair 1. Basic training and when I was in Desert Storm and that's because I had no choice in either case.
 
In Philly Asian's are making a killing cutting black hair for $5 to $6.

They even open on Sunday and Monday which are days black barbers are typically closed.
I wonder if they’re doing designs or labor intensive cuts? If they’re doing cuts at $5-6 a pop, they gotta be be doing basic cuts and turning the chairs over fast. That is a good idea though. Parents with 2 or 3 boys can’t spend these outrageous prices during these economic times. Money is tight for millions.
 
That's me right now.

Interesting thread. Seems like the biggest factor is the cost of commercial space. I have sympathy for both sides. I use the fusion but for my kids I take my medicine and tip 5 per head. I think to myself " would I tip a stripper?" and it doesn't hurt as much.

See this what's wrong with the black community we don't support each other.

We go give our money to Lin Yung Fuk and 'em instead to cut our hair or up the street to the Puerto Rican barbershop or the white girl at super cuts.

But won't give our local barber who we been going to for years $30 for a cut.

Man that's what's wrong with our community.

If my barber is black and he say you gotta pay $100 for a cut you should pay cuz that means you support black business if you don't your against the black community.
Yo dude, we’re dealing with bum ass niggas. Niggas are talking about paying $12 for a cut in 2021. FOH. Then we have niggas talking about they are too cheap so they cut their own hair. This is why I get so much Ass. I pay my barber $50 and he hooks me up. Beard, fade, etc. how the fuck are you a grown man and going to try and pay some skilled nigga $12 for an hours work?

This is why people hate servicing black people. Niggas don’t tip, niggas are cheap as fuck and niggas will spend money in non black establishments and cheap out on black businesses. I’m just doffeeent than these low class goon niggas here
 
You meant stylist, bitches dont have barbers.
And where do white boys who have black fetishes go? You know, 100% white boys named “Dj ray ray”and then changed their screen name to “Dj” once someone exposes them as a blonde blue eyed skateboarding looking cac, posing as a black man... you know what I mean, right bitch?

We go to ur mom, she cheap, and top a nigga off as tip
 
20 + a tip has been what I paid for years, probably bc I dont have a full beard. If you are getting your head (Temp fade or skint fade) and beard done then I understand the $30 + rate.

I started going to Dominican barbers recently, out of convienence, I gotta say their razor and fade game is the new standard for me.
 
Smh.... I pay my barber $50 per cut. Y’all niggas are some bum ass niggas. How you gonna pay a nigga $12 for an hour worth of meticulous work?
YOOOO!!!! I'm in fucking mid Ohio and although I cut my own hair, once a year or so, I like to get a professional cut.

I called for an appointment and that shit was $50!!!! I almost laughed in dude's face. I cut my hair every week. You think I'm going to pay $200/month plus tip for another mofo to cut my hair?!! Hell no!!!

Them Dominicans in nyc tapped into the barber/salon game decades ago and be making a killing.. that shit big money for them
 
One of the better barbers, I used to go to, used to cut for $15 out his crib. My oldest son, put me into him about 2-3 yrs ago. I've watched dude raise his prices and moved to $20 then to $25. Then he started having adult and kid prices. Then he deaded that the last time I went to him over a year ago. He now charges $50 for a cut and with beard is I think $75.

When I left that day with my son, I gave him $80 for both of us. There was a guy sitting there with his 3 sons waiting for cuts. Dude was sitting there about to pay $180-200.

I'm in a biz where I deal with many shops so I see many varying prices. These new white boy gentlemen's shops are what kinda also drove up prices. Dudes will easily pay $135 for cut, shave and scalp and shoulder massage. All day.

This started a lil while B4 Covid. 2020 didn't add to what's long been going on.

I feel for some parents with a kid/kids cause going every 2-4 weeks is definitely "tew much".
My barber I have now, works off appts on Booksy and works out his garage. Looks just like a shop, but in his parents backyard and is one of the best I've seen outside of my NYC barbers.

i go every 2 weeks. Self maintenance is important. I’ll spend whatever to maintain myself properly
 
EXACTLY!!! Get your own clippers and cut your own damn hair.

Pro-Tip - Buy quality clippers and a quality trimmer! You might spend $60-$100 for some decent clippers/trimmers, but it's well worth the investment.


Word! I ain't paid for a haircut since '95. Accepted my receding hair when I was 25. Took a 10 minute walk down to Brixton market and bought a £30 set of Wahl trimmers, they lasted 20 years with a blade replacement. Peeled it like an orange and I noticed mature woman noticing me.
 
just purchased some gamma+ ergo's........my oster fast feeds I am not a fan really of them as they dont cut close the way I like and they have a taper blade.....I find myself digging in my head to get guidelines out when I fade
