I am 100% certain I got a picture of me wearing a paisley scarf. And I desperately wanted an Overcoat.

Boomerang was great and has become a bit of an underrated movie. I thought Marcus Graham had THAT SHIT ON!
Every scene.

But his spot isn’t in the neighborhood anymore because… how many people can drop that kind of bread.
Also…that place been shut down since he left.

I don’t have Brothers. My big cousin stayed with us for a lil while and he taught me how to use trimmers and line myself up in between barbershop trips.
I have friend that charges like that now. In fairness… he’s a celebrity barber and works on production sets.
He been cutting for like 30yrs.

These ICE recruiting commercials are just one big dog whistle. I hate them so much and they are on all the damn time.

prices went crazy when barbers started wearing those black gloves

$70 for a haircut is unsustainable.
And I don’t believe barbers are getting more business. They’re just doing less volume at a higher rate. Basically working less for the same bread. No hate. It’s a free market. But a working man can’t run $70/wk for a cut

Also a lot of barbers be lying. You might have gotten $70 for a cut. But you ain’t booking out at that cost unless you’re catering to a very specific demo.
Cause ain’t nobody that making a avg living spending $150-$225/month on haircuts.

I saw someone talking about a “livable wage”.
Fam… charge what you want. But what we not gonna do is pretend that if you’re not charging $70 for a cut that you some how taking a short.
There’s a lot of real estate between $25 and $70. Stop it.

This is what I want to know, because in centuries of Black American history, what has been done to us is rarely, if ever, referred to as that.

Yes. A big reason why the youngins aren’t in the shop weekly or even bi weekly.
I haven’t asked how much a cut cost in years because I overpay and take care of my barber. But he’s the last of a dying breed with $25-30 haircuts.
Everyone got a ring light and charging $50+
