And who’s gonna pay the rent ?…

Okay, that’ll be $25.00.

Tilt your head back so I can get to your nose.

If they charge that way, my next haircut will cost at least $100.

“You don’t have $5 dollars’ worth; that’s why I set a minimum.”

At least he’s got hair to cut. Some are a little shy in that department.

Run the trimmer right down the middle of his head from front to rear. Then across from ear to ear. That would $25 worth of laugh right there.

From the look of that Barber’s smock, he does blood letting too.

It still take the same amount of time wether it’s a cut or a trim, so stop your complaining!

I’l pay you $30 for the haircut, tip you 20% and another 20% if you cut it in total silence.

Fortunately my barber and I are of the same political persuasion. I would not want my hair cut off by someone who is arguing with me.

$30 for a frickin’ haircut? Must be at a “stylist.” Men go to a barber where we gripe about everything from wives, to money to politics and can scratch ourselves in public and not be judged. The young males of today can learn a lot at a barber shop.

Only a priss goes to a “stylist” so they can overpay.

they ought to charge either by amount removed, or time it takes. charging everyone the same amount when the job can vary so much is a bit ridiculous. I feel like I’m subsidizing some other people’s haircuts

OK, says the barber, as he cuts a patch on 1/6 of his head.

Barbers usually feel guilty charging full price to cut my hair.

I believe my Parris Island barber took about 12.5 seconds to shave heads from flowing hippy locks and dreads, to bald cueball. Regardless or race, or whatever. And never a nick.

Good times man. Good times.

And the opening line to this song always makes me smile back through the years……

Snip… Who’s next?

I hear that.

A #2 or #1 blade and it’s $5 bucks, can’t beat it.

In one town where I lived, the barber was open Tuesday to Saturday, unless there was a fire in town or the fish were biting. Yes, you could buy fishing equipment there too.
