What are your going rates at your barber? Are your barbers raising prices?

My barber is raising rates from $20 to $25. The $5 increase is a "cleaning fee". I think it is crazy to raise the rate by 25% for a "cleaning fee". Barbers should be sanitary already. They have little overhead and make decent money. I think they are trying to capitalize on an increase of demand because of the shutdown. They already see customers by appointment only and are booked all day before the shutdown.

Before you say it, they weren't the only ones out of work and have bills to be paid. They aren't the only ones who have to clean.

A couple friends said I should start cutting my hair again like I used to. I had to cut my boys hair this past weekend because their mom royally messed it up. I did a good job especially with trimming their long hair.

Have no clue. Been paying $20 ever since I remember. Think she charges $10-15. I pay and half the time my kids go she hardly ever charges them.

My five year old grandson gave me my spring hair cut. Clipper with no guard, burr it off as close as you can and let it grow. There is no way I would pay $20-$25 for hair cut. You can buy a clipper for that.

I can and do use the clippers at home too. But I like to support my local barber and will go there every other time or so.

$8.00.


I got myself a seniors' GPS.
Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination,
it tells me why I wanted to go there.

My barber was at the shop today. Not sure if any bait was getting cut but there were enough vehicles I think maybe.


Wish I had more time to trap....

$0... Have cut my own for years with opposing mirrors, scissors, and a razor.
..Better cut than what the local Barbers provide.
