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

Had a barber named Haiti (he's haitian)

He was cold Dude charged 7 bucks , I used to throw him 10-15 bucks cuz fam cut my hair upon request , never pushed back . Even finished the lining up with a razor :pimp:

That feel when you jump the line and that dude that was next face look crazy :lol:

After I finished school I went to this other dude and this dude was ***


Been cutting my own hair since
 
I feel you op. barber uses appointment system yet I will get my cut an hour later. dude takes breaks whenever he wants, daps everybody who enters the store, constantly checks his phone.


looking for a new place but it's tough, I don't know if they'll get it right.
 
There's a difference between a hood barber and a regular barber

Anyway, I learned to cut my own hair and never looked back
 
I found that you need to try at least 20 dif people in your lifetime. It's the ones you LEAST expect that cut everything well.
 
lol, never had a problem with my barber...even when we weren't friends... i call, set an appointment & we pretty much stick to that appointment, unless there's a dire need to change it for a particular reason. sounds like you need to change barbers, & at this point my barber said he couldn't take another person if he tried, because he's always booked up ..he gets there at 4am on saturday & doesn't leave til about 10pm & is booked the entire time.
 
shout out to NT barbers

been cutting my hair for about 2 years now, best decision ever. No more driving & waiting 45 minutes to get in the chair, lot of $$ & time saved.

I struggled to find a decent barber, I had one but the vibes in his shop were off. His worker next to me is talking about his experience the week before popping pills with his nephew while cutting dudes hair, and regular customers talking insanely offensive about random topics. His other barbers cut TERRIBLE.

I just learned to cut my own hair.

I lucked out early with this one.  I've been getting from the same dude for close to a decade now. Dude is reliable, professional, and will give me advance notice if he's going on vacation or getting a new burner phone.

I happen to have the misfortune of going to a very talented barber. I started going to him about 3 years ago when he was just starting out. He charged 20 but I would always throw him 30. Not necessarily because I had it like that, but because his cuts were that good. Now he has his own shop, and cuts mostly college and professional athletes - essentially booked weeks in advance. I call him a week or two in advance and he always tries to show love so I can't hate on him for that, but he can rarely get me in when he says he can. I work a 9-5 so I can't come in when he's dead like that anymore. 

I just had to get that off my chest haha, imo this isn't how it was in the 90's like when I was growing up and there were only 2 shops in the hood that everyone went to. You have options now days and if your barber isn't professional, timely, and appreciative of your money, you should move on quickly.

Dog I'm going through this **** right now as I type this.

This ***** put like 4 heads infront of me :smh:

Told me to show up at 11am and it's now 12:40 NYC time.

When I came there was one in the chair, so I thought I was next. He has nobody in the chair and I ask what's up. He says someone else is coming and I'm like wtf so they not here just cut me.

I keep calm and let him cut dude, thinking I'm next but then another dude shows up and he puts him infront of me.

Now another dude that he's giving a shape up to is in front of me and I'm still sitting here 2 hours later.

If I'm not next I'm bouncing.

I usually rotate one week him and the other the owner that is way more reliable in the same shop. Not doing the one barber thing anymore.

I'm going to stay cool though and give him the benefit of the doubt because this is the first time he did this.

Otherwise I'm just going to mess with the owner only going forward.

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.'

Fade won't even be crispy at all, doeeeeeeee...
 
lol... I've had 1 consistent barber the past 6 years or so. I use him for fresh line ups once or twice a month. I usually cut my own hair so it's not a big deal unless I'm going out and want to look my best.

But this dude is pretty unreliable. He shows up at 2pm , half hung over, gotta eat something, smoke a cigarette, sell a dime bag then start cutting...

Last time I went to see him it was about 6pm on a Saturday . This ***** was saucy as hell. So I went to the barber in the next chair. I haven't been back since.

the other barber is nicer too... But he has issues too. Like he is the only one there on Sunday's but I got down there last Sunday and it was closed...

Had to give myself a shapeup... Smh.... Oh yeah all barbers got criminal records too...
 
Had the same barber since 2010, he is hit or miss. I live in a town devioud of good barbers so I have to compromise

Please I hope that isn't real. Imagine being dude in the chair, y'all talking casually while you getting cut and the barber hits you with" hold up right quick Cuz, that's that ***** right there, I'll be right back, Imma go tighten his *** up right now". You just sitting there in the chair like wtf, you still got the cape on and everything. Then what if the barber got dropped, he ain't coming back to finish. Sad all the way around.

Seriously.  I thought it was bad one time when I went in and they told me my barber was out running an errand and I had to sit and wait 5 minutes past my appointment time.  Last time I went in he sounded sick as a dog but still kept my appointment and gave me a fresh cut.

Kinda surprised at the amount of people who say they cut their own hair.  It was always a PITA having to clean up afterward, plus I'm such a perfectionist I'd sit there and take an hour or more trying to get it just right.  So much easier now just paying and leaving the mess behind.  Although now I cut my son's hair so I'm back to cleaning up a mess.  Only "good thing" is that he's impatient and I know I have to hurry before he starts to get upset so I don't have time to worry about fading him 100.

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

Not necessarily. The barber I go to is cutting hair on the side, while simultaneously working on his rap career.
