Is There a More Unreliable Profession Than Barber????

Main reason I started cutting my own hair, absolute lack of professionalism :smh:

I set a 6:30pm appointment, and I'm not seen until 7:10pm...routinely.

I tell you that I want my beard not to be cut so close to my damn jawline, you do what the hell you want to do.

Hands always smell like weed.

First few haircuts :wow: then eventually :smh: , wth did you go so far back on my edge?

I'm not moving my *****ing head, stop telling me to stay still. I'm a grown *** man.

Hands smell like chicken.

"Hey babe, I'm still here, see if you can push the reservations back another hour. No I'm not even in the seat yet!"

Gotta find a better barber OP.

My barber cool as hell, even kicked it outside the shop and went out a couple of times. Dude is real professional, even comes in 2 hours before official opening to cut me if I need it before work (even with short notice). I tip him generous without a second thought. Dude goes above and beyond so he deserves it.

What is generous?

My cut cost 24, I tip 4 or 5 dollars.

This.

I lucked out to have the same barber for like 10 years until I started forming and lost touch.

I know what OP is talking about but I don't think it's the most unreliable profession for the client. Like for one I know my old barber had a falling out with his partner who was a another barber over some bull **** and he ended up working at another spot.
 
The problem lies in the first sentence, papa..

Stop going to barbers and start going to "mens hair specialists"
A cat that will call himself a men's hair specialist will take pride in his work, and operate with da utmost professionalism, my guy.

But of course, there's an extra cost for that

These are basically the reasons I stopped going. It could be perfect one week, pushed back the next.

That specialist be on your face like this with the aftershave/moisturizer after the cut:

when i'd need a haircut i'd cross the border and get cleaned up real nice and for cheap.

dudes are really professional and work for that doe, especially knowing u crossed from the great land for a cut.

aint no way im going to schedule a haircut with one of these idiots with the scissors tatted on his arms and that stupid brad pitt haircut he had in inglorious basterds.
 
That's why my brother & I cut each other.

Funny thing is, we were cutting hair today, and I had a thought & wondered if there's a BarberTalk forum where barbers making threads about they long-time clients leaving them like NT's girl problem threads, and their response is similar to ours on some, "Son prolly went to Tyrone...Tyrone laying them fades right..." steez.

Damn Tyrone...
 
There are several professional barbers out there.

Don't settle for less.

Try to find guys who take appointments ONLY. That's worked out extremely well for me.
 
The thing that my barber does that annoys me is he has to stop and check his phone EVERY time it vibrates or rings ...this ***** be even stopping for IG notifications and spam emails :lol: :smh:

Ha, that's how me and my bro started out with our first set of clippers in junior high.  I always took my time and learned to give a nice cut pretty quickly, but he always did a rush job and left me looking like a clown so I had to start cutting my own hair!

them 'mens hair specialists' be a little too suspect.  They the ones with the super deep V's, chinos rolled above their ankles, and some chucks or doc martins.  Usually mandatory full sleeved tats, and shoulder length hair or man buns.  Always got some styling frames on with no lenses type.  You paying more but you getting the same problems in a different, more sex and the city, setting.  Instead of waiting around hearing bout basketball arguments and dudes lion about what shorty they smashing...It's dudes whining about how starbucks didn't whip their Vente Frap, how Rachel was the best character on Friends, and how Rue La La got Prada handbags on sale.  Then it's the dudes who look like they cut steel for a living but drive a prius.  Them dudes be 100 with your beard and give you a mediocre cut and charge you $60.  Talking bout some damn 'beard art is a lost science on the modern man.'  
 
Never had a problem with my barber, I don't even set appointments. The only thing is he owns multiple shops and is away from NYC for a while.
Who the hell expects to roll into a barber shop in the afternoon and NOT expect a gang of people to be in line...
While y'all set your appointments early in the day, he got to continue working til you show up...you should automatically be after the last dude if you show up for your appointment though.

I got 2 barbers tho and always go before the afternoon to avoid all that BS...and they're both reliable dudes :pimp:

Only problems I ever had with other barbers is pushing the line back but of course that always happens when you NEED A CUT BAD and ya barber aint available or whatever & ya desperate :lol:
 
Bout 6 months ago, I found a kat who takes appointments only and been with him ever since. Besides being nice with it, he is a no nonsense type of dude so he doesn't have a shop full of people and all types of extraness going on like the other shops. It's usually just you and him in there, and maybe the person who has the next appointment. $15, $20 with tip is steep but that appointment certainty is added value because the other shops sometimes I go in there and it's literally 20 deep waiting with 2 dudes cutting taking an hr a head. I'm like do the math, some of yall ****** ain't gonna get done today and AFTER having waited forever unless these kats are staying overnight which I doubt
 
Never had these problems.

Would laugh in a ***** face if he told me to take him somewhere to get a cut and i didn't know him like that.

Where you do you live and what country are you crossing into for a haircut?

I've never gotten my beard lined or cut at the barbershop, so I don't have that problem like some of you guys. I don't want to payextra for that and clean it up myself.
 
i had a cool barber for a year but i moved and now 45 minutes from him. Got my haircut for the first time and this guy spent like 15 min max, had to ask him to recut the top and even after I was like yeah its fine and had to cut some on my own when i got home

once you find a good way stay with em
