This might be more of a rant but I swear every other month the price of haircut increases. I’m thinking it’s just my barber but barbershops in my area are in the same ballpark, or even more. I was paying $20 base price when I started going to my barber just under 2 years ago. I’m paying $35 now and I thought that was expensive.
Ol’ buddy redesigned his booth and all of a sudden upped his price to $45. Like, the Kobe/Shaq poster was already pleasant to stare at. I’ve always gotten the same haircut, no line ups (makes my forehead look too big), no enhancements. Just cut the top off a little bit and clean the sides.

Inflation and rising cost of living.
Rent and electricity increases
I went to my barber yesterday. We talked about price. He says that he hasn’t changed prices for loyal customers, but charges new customers more. He charges me $25, new customers pay $35 or $40.
That said, even though he charges me $25, I pay him $40 and have been paying him $40 for a couple of years. I might need to increase that amount. He always has a spot available for me in when I need it. He always does an excellent job. I want him to cut my hair as long as he can.

….
Like the price of everything else?
I encourage all men to learn how to give themselves a haircut. Its not easy but itll save you a lot of money.
I only go to a barber when theres a special occasion and want a nice haircut.
