What gets me is fat people can get ice cream at dairy queen but I can't get a hair cut. Explain why ice cream is essential. There is a lot of stuff happening that makes no sense, bars opened. Restaurant opened, pot growers are open but I can't get a hair cut. Maybe if I weighed 300 pounds, smoked dope and hung out at bars I wouldn't care.
Wish I had more time to trap....

I pay $15 and don't tip... he does at least 5 heads an hours. I think $75 an hour is a good salary.

Garry- I doubt that’s 5 an hour consistently. Now figure in Rent/Mortgage, Electric/Gas, Insurance, Phone, Liscensing,Taxes, Etc... $75 an hour is not his salary. He makes what he makes on how many haircuts he does. No haircuts means no money.

Ok, I lied! The wife decided not to raise rates and re-posted her old sign. She is a lot more business savy than I. She claims that most everyone is giving a $20 tip.

$14, plus tip. I tip because of my character, not because of his needs. I've done it myself a few times, enough to know I can. I don't mind paying someone else to. There are a lot of things I can do myself but still pay others to. Like eating out, buying food, or working on the car. Sometimes it's worth it. Now, my haircut takes 10-15 minutes. My wife spent 4.5 hours at the salon in two sittings this week. Lord knows if she'd learn how to do her own we could save some cash. But it's a treat to her a couple times a year, like a mini vacation.

My guy charges me $11. That's the "senior" rate. He's done the hair cutting for 3 generations of Morse men, and 99% of his shop decor is fish I mounted for him, or a print of one of my paintings I did back in the day. He does the old fashioned cut/neck shave thing with a straight razor. Is there anyplace more iconic than a small- town barbershop? The distilled essence of Americana. Few things are as relaxing as sitting in a barber chair and listening to the banter of retirees that have known one another for literally several decades.
