My wife's shop is finally able to open again on Monday. She will be raising prices.

My comments are specific to Minnesota, but, probably typical country wide.

The price increase is justified. Yes, they are already clean, but, now they have to sanitize between each customer. New shop building requirements are in place including different ventilation systems. Booked solid then and now are two different things. Social distancing and 25% occupancy slash income. Add to that additional PPE that slow down the entire process, to say nothing of the comfort/stress levels.

My first inclination was to keep prices the same and bill the difference to Governor Tim Jong Walz, but, decided to save myself that one additional headache.

13 I think. I made my wife cut my hair a few weeks ago. All was going good until she hit the beard. I had no choice but to shave it off. I showed her tho, I have been rocking a sweet mustache since then. My wife hates it, I just said well it's your fault.

I also pay $20. My place has a senior discount and a military vet discount which brings the rate down to $9. I tell the girl to keep searching for discounts because she gets to keep the change.

I can see that if she has to add or upgrade ventilation, that's completely understandable. My barber doesn't have to do that.

What ppe will slow her down?

Barbers and Salons can operate at 25% capacity but how does a barber do that when they have 1 chair? Barbers operate at 100% all day.

Sanitizing equipment doesn't take but a few seconds and is done anyway.

MJM I just ordered clippers last night for $40. There's no way I can keep paying $25 + tip. I'm keeping this appointment this way I can either find a new barber in the meantime.

I went last week and thankful for it. There was a young kid in the other chair I thought looked to be 14-15, had kind of a high voice but during a conversation said he was 28. I thought to myself no way. Well he left and I asked my barber is that guy really 28? I guess so but that was a girl! Getting married to another girl in a week. I'm gettin old. Oh yeah $15.00

12 dollars locally for a haircut and fade in the beard
about every over month I go to the city and pay 20 for a haircut and a proper beard trim.

I could get one for 8 up until last year when the old town barber retired.

I gave the local girl a 50 on friday for a haircut b/c she's been out of work and I've been working overtime.
she does my haircut at lunch or after hours so I dont have to miss any work and has never given me one bit of grief over moving appointments

I bought a $20 Whal clipper 15 years ago and haven't been to the barber since. Not only is it the best ROI you'll ever get, it is WAY more convenient. I can spruce up anytime I want in less than 5 minutes. No appointment necessary.

last cut was in November for a funeral.

now 7 months in my kids are telling me I look like Redneck Jesus so I may just go with it.

before covid it was around 20 and a tip for the girl that cut my hair .

the barber in town retired and cut 2-3 days a week and I had to take time off work to get a cut mid day when he worked was not worth it any more.

the girl does a nice job and has a 1-2 nights a week she works till 7.

I cut my own. Invested in a clippers, was a wise decision.

My wife however.
The place she goes to opened up about a week ago.
Her prices remained approx the same.
I don't know how long that will last tho.
The hairdresser used to work on 2 people at once, now she only can do 1 at a time.
If that keeps up she will have to increase prices cause her income is cut in half.
Lot more kinds of treatments and time required for women's hair I guess.
My wife is there for 2 hours. While when I used to get my hair cut at a barber it was about 10 minutes.

I've cut my own since I got out of the Marine Corps in1956. I do a great job if I do say so myself.
