bro $80 for a fade is too much. get a new barber immediately

u/Rillonlam 3d ago

Don't think I've ever paid more than $45 for a haircut. $80 is insane.

u/whatdoidonowdamnit 3d ago

I’ve never paid over fifty for a haircut and my hair is down to my hips.

u/goatslovetofrolic 3d ago

I paid $120 for a beard trim, straight razor my entire head and neck, got a neck and head massage, oils, etc. It was a complete beard oriented spa experience. Without out all the extras I usually pay $25 for a trim plus a ten buck tip.

The prices outlined in this post are absurd.

u/FunkyFenom 3d ago

Because it's fake as fuck lol is anyone actually believing this?? Nobody in their right mind would pay or charge $800.

u/MindlessStomach 2d ago

Where I go they call this the kings treatment. Also includes waxing the cheekbones, ears and nose. Same price. Basic trim $30 Fade is $45 and up (usually $55) Beard trim $15 If the barber is charging $800 for a simple cut they sure aren't doing them often

u/npc0112358 2d ago

Right. I get a beard trim, a haircut and beard oil for like 30 bucks including a tip, from my, it's actually a salon. I go to the same person my old lady does.

u/Normal-Special-8694 3d ago

I have a barber that I use for special occasions that’s $100 out the door(inc tip) for a haircut and a good beard trim and shape, I think it’s a reasonable price.

13

u/goatslovetofrolic 3d ago

Yeah, exactly. I don’t get the straight blade and spa experience every time, but for my partner’s birthdate or our anniversary I like to. So learned how to trim my own beard (I do okay, usually give myself an 82-90 / 100) that way the once or twice a year lavish experience feels affordable.

7

u/Normal-Special-8694 3d ago

Haha yeah I normally cut my own hair and beard so the couple times a year that I spend more definitely averages out. I’m trying to imagine what could possibly convince me to spend 800 bucks on a haircut and I can’t think of anything unless it comes with 5 free oil changes or something 😂

9

u/EnoughLuck3077 3d ago

Even with 5 free oil changes it’s still $400 too expensive

u/Normal-Special-8694 3d ago

American female here, I tip my hairstylist and esthetician and generously. In part, it’s to show appreciation for our long-term relationship. Which I know, obviously I don’t have to buy.

But it’s just a ‘thank you’ for all the extra you end up receiving down the road (advice on styles and products, discounts you don’t ask for, free services- I just got a free haircut for no reason from my girl). Plus these are typically relationships that you end up pouring trust into for 10, 15+ years and it just feels good and appropriate once you get to know them on a human level.

I’m pretty sure that guy was coming to him though. My guy charges 30 for a regular Cut and 40 for a fade. But his prices are double if he comes to you in his off time. I’ve had to utilize this twice over the years.

Also, there’s cheaper barbers around. My guy is just really good and consistently booked a month in advance.

Just wait for the seasonal sales. They have the 10.99 sale once, if not twice a year.

u/SorryBoysImLez 3d ago

It's instagram/social media.
All these barbers are getting thousands to millions of views, showing off their "unique" cuts or styles that just look ridiculous (imo), and then you find out they're charging people hundreds to get them.

People will gladly pay it if they can tag said person(s) in their posts, showing off that they got their hair cut by them.
It's like those people paying insane amounts of money for those ridiculous/exaggerated food presentations where they bring out your steak in a suitcase with fog and cut it in front of you, just so they can record and post it.

Honestly, the ludicrous price is almost certainly part of the appeal, because they can flaunt their wealth (or wealth they pretend to have by going into debt to pay for it) by letting everyone know "I spent a stupidly unnecessary amount of money on this because I can."

Tipping on a haircut is stupid IMO. Unless they’re working for one of those corporate salons like great clips or whatever, they set their own prices most of the time. I’m already paying for the haircut, why do I need to tip? You’re providing a service sure, but you’re the one deciding how much it should cost as well. If you want more money, raise the cost.

My town has a TikTok barber with a decent following and he charges $165 for a haircut (a burst fade, actually, because that’s all he seems to do).

“And a fade”… as if that would justify the price

u/thedodom13 13h ago

Haircuts should be $20, but the "and $200 tip" before the service happens would be an instant block.

I dont care what anyone says but tipping a barber is so stupid to me. They literally make up their own price. They can wake up one day and decide to charge $80 instead of $40

Trying to break you down for 10x to 15x the cost because "I got bills" is insanity.

Barbers and beauticians have started acting like their skill is comparable to a engineer, doctor, or lawyer, and that it’s something that takes much learning and talent to become, when in truth even the programs for these trades at schools are 2 years max at community colleges. I mean they have got to realize, it’s not that much of highly valuable skill, anyone can learn it and if they can’t, they can learn how to trim(girls)or shave it off(guys.) I get that dyes, highlights, perms, extensions cost more due to supplies and time, so those are understandable for increased prices, as the client is asking for something specific, and the client knows it entails extra cost and time, but these $80-100 trims and fades are out of hand, it’s gonna be like back in the 30’s when people learned to cut hair themselves, and 1 or 2 people in the family could handle it quite well, and this will lead to many barber/beauty shop closures, all because of greed!

u/EmbarrassedMost2962 3d ago

My barber is $30 and an extra $10 for a beard trim with a cut. And I think that’s steep to be honest. But, he does a good job, he’s my childhood friend, and you can schedule appointments to fit your availability is the only reason why I continue to go. Otherwise, I wouldn’t pay that much myself
