Whats up with this stupid prices for a haircut?

I’ve got a hole in the wall barber, $12, perfect. I get my hair cut like 2 to 4 times a year, long then short in slow repetition.

 

I started cutting my own hair when the price went up to $0.75, I started with dog clippers. I use a Wahl today that is near forty years old with younger replacement parts. Let me tell you, I look good.

 

Everyone looks good with enough distance........

 

And the amount of distance goes down, the older we get.

 

My little buddy gets his hair, bath, & nails done... $70 every 7 weeks. I get my hair cut every 2-3 months for $20.

 

HEY!! Another mini-schnauzer owner......

I do the grooming on my mini-schnauzer. His first groom, the groomer quicked all 14 of his nails. That was 5 years ago, he is still very twitchy about his nails. 1 paw = 1 treat. I started with 1 nail = 1 treat.

 

Generally, you are correct but for me, wherever you are, near or far, I still look good.

 

I look damn good. I just Flowbee'd today.

 

I get a mid-high fade once a week for 35$ and I haven't been to the club in years

These guys are busy af, some of them work 7 days a week. They are constantly fixing haircuts from the chain stores that charge the same or higher

 

Learn skills or be subject to the market.



Or just look homeless. That’s free in the short term haha.

 

Go to the hood

 

When the Covid shut downs started I spent $24.00 on an electric trimmer. Wife cuts my hair, she does a good job. My haircuts have that 2 week lived- in look.

 

I get a Military High n Tight haircut every 2 weeks $14 ea visit

"There’s even a specially adapted haircutting machine, called the Flowbee—essentially a pair of clippers attached to a vacuum cleaner, to keep stray stubble from floating away and shutting down critical ISS hardware.".
