Hot take: I think most barbers in my city are charging way too little for a basic cut.

I saw a post from a shop downtown advertising a $15 fade, and honestly, it's killing the trade for the rest of us who need to pay rent. We're skilled workers, not a discount service, and setting the price that low just tells people our time isn't valuable. How do you even make a living wage at that rate without rushing through every single head?

Ever wonder why haircuts are so cheap now? I used to go for the cheapest option too, but seeing that price really makes me see how it hurts the whole trade.

Yeah, I started paying more after my barber explained how cheap cuts kill their income.
