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.

The problem lies in the first sentence, papa..

You seeing a BARBER

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

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.'

Got a vending a machine, 4 mattresses up onthe walls, some knock-off beats by dre (also for sale in the shop), and a couple bags of weed back there.  No telling when this ***** gonna stop mid cut to go lay a verse

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.

I've been going to the same barber for 3+ years.  The only reason I am not going to my former barber is because he got locked up for drugs.  But I swear being a barber automatically means you are shady as hell.  Dudes always got some extreme life issues, lack of time, lack of responsibility, etc.  

I can call my barber and tell him 'how many you got?' He will say it's empty and he can see me at 2PM.  I get there at 1:50 and it's a whole basketball team of people and a metro bus of kids with their moms waiting.  Always '1 in front' and I end up waiting.  I've legit stepped to my barber on some respectful ish and it works for like a month then after the 30th he back on his BS.  

I don't think it's a scummier profession than being a barber.  Like they put "late to work, hands smell like french fries, call out sick every other day, going to drug school, need to take calls while I'm cutting' on their resume and they can get a gig anywhere in america.  It's ALWAYS something and they are NEVER responsible.  'I got you with a cut but can you run me around the way to drop off XYZ'  I almost threw hands with my last barber because he told me he wasn't working that day and I needed a cut BAD for a wedding I was in.  I'm mid cut and this ***** walks in with a bag of McDonalds and starts spazzing on me like I did something wrong.  Talking about 'you coulda come through to the crib if it was THAT important!!!.'  

WTF gives...
