Been cutting for 18 years and Im charging $30 but learned to do 20 minute clean cuts. 3 cuts per hour Im making about $90-$105 an hour and thankfully almost always fully booked. Everyone tells me to raise price but I feel comfortable at this price/time ratio that I am doing right now. Dont even have social media just do clean work and treat people with respect and it has worked for all these years.
Raise your price because you're worth it not because of comfortablility off experience alone you're worth 50 then convenience on top and character on top of that you deserve more peace of mind and down time 💯 keep current customers at their current rate and charge new customers something you feel is acceptable but more I bet they pay it brotha KNOW YOU'RE WORTH MORE, THAN YOU PAID. KNOWLEDGE IS PRICELESS!
Damn, left me speechless bro. Im a barber and have recently been thinking about joining programs to help me raise my prices to them three digit numbers, but after hearing this i can genuinely say you changed my perspective.
I have never heard a barber that genuinely wants to help not on the industry level but on the barber level. Thank you for using your platform for good and helping everyone get their stuff together.
Am a barber also and I charge 25 to 30 bucks per cut . I believe in giving great service and letting money stay in people's pockets. I like knowing I can make someone feel great and be able to come see me and feel good about it. I stay busy because a care about people making ends meet under hard times. Stay blessed bro 💈💯💯
Bruh... I won't mention any names or "mentorship programs" specifically, but it is refreshing to hear you talk about not only bringing value to your clients, but also recognizing the value your client brings to you... I keep hearing this one guy talk about how nobody's cutting hair for the passion or how much you should hate cutting hair and not bend over for a client.... I am so sick of hearing it. Thank you for reminding me that it's actually ok to love what I do and for money to be important but not EVERYTHING. I was really starting to think maybe I was crazy.
Thank you Bossio for this clarity. Couldn't have came at a better time. Started to consider raising prices, based off feelings, you said it! New perspective, gotta keep my head down a bit longer and stay determined. Facts on treating a $30 cut like $100!
Chris I really appreciate you and the advice you put out for free. I nearly quit being a barber because I thought I was wasting my potential until I came across your channel. Thanks man.
Very sound wisdom. I hope the younger or newer barbers watch this a few times. This is the kind of truth that you only get from someone who's seen it and lived it and cares enough to share it. Great Video.
Phenomenal video sir 👏🏻👏🏻 A lot of my barber friends get on me for not raising my prices to how they do it and a few of them didn’t survive how Covid slammed the economy. I’m glad that a lot of what you shared has been my private system for years and even though I was criticized over they years it’s refreshing to know I wasn’t the only one thinking this way and I was on the right path all along. Thank you Chris you the man. 💪🏻
Hearing this right as I want to start my journey in this industry really helps to put it into perspective. I kno many barbers who have raised their prices and I also kno 1 barber who hasn’t and is still humble about the fact. He says that too him it’s more of a hobby than an income. He appreciates the company and vibes.
I’m glade I found your page fam I been cutting for two years it’s just starting to get good for me I make ok money but don’t have much clients yet just walk ins but it good to hear the do and don’ts from a person who lived it 💪🏼
Great vision for how the barber business can change during a recession. Many of your viewers are young and dont remember leaner times when the easy money wasn't flowing like it has been over the last decade. Another way barbers can prepare themselves for a changing economy is to own some corded clippers and learn how to repair them. Countries all over the world are nationalizing or talking about nationalizing their lithium mines. This is the key mineral that operate all our cordless clippers. We also have to consider whats going on with the Taiwan/China/US relationship. Almost all semiconductor microchips are made in Taiwan. What happens to that chip supply if some kind of military conflict breaks out? All cordless clippers are electronic devices that have microchips in them. Corded Oster 76, Wahl Seniors, Andis Masters, Andis T-Outliners do not use chips. Get some, buy parts for them and learn how to work on them. They're cheap and good insurance to own in a changing world. You never know what might happen.
Yessir, 90% of barbers where I’m at in Miami, don’t operate that way, I’ve learned and realized all this by experience and great financial planning! This is an extremely helpful video for barbers that are willing to listen, unfortunately, most of them won’t.
You are absolutely 100% correct. The bottom line is ethics. Charging absurd rates for a haircut is unethical. You have to charge appropriately for your services. People want to cut corners. Everyone Wants to “come up” that’s a horrible mentality to have. Hard work and consistency is the correct path
I usually get a bald fade I had a very well experienced barber like 15 years in the game real busy all the time he would cut my hair so fast sometimes he would do my eyebrows I’m talking 15 minutes fast & I always would like my hair cut so much I would pay him 30/40 bucks then I walked in a local barber shop with nothing but young guys the guys looked bother that I walked in nobody said a thing finally I get a haircut took him 45 minutes crooked edge up charged me $60 & no eyebrows paid $70 never went back
I've been following you for a while. You have been humble and the best in life transition. On top of that your growth and transparency is on full affect. Thank you for the gems dropped.
I just left a barber I was going to for 10+ years. He raised prices (which I don’t mind) but the cut quality went down like crazy. The place turned into a chop shop getting people in and out of the chair as soon as possible. I’m now paying another barber the same premium price but he’s providing premium service.
Was in a dilema for a bit, have been charging 30 for a cut and I’m thinking on raising 5$ after a year. I’m over booked and I think it’s time to go up 5 🤝
Over booked doesn’t mean shit fam WHERE IS THE EXPERIENCE ?!. If your constantly over booked all year and people can’t get you EVER then yea but let’s be real alot if y’all just jumped into the game a few years ago like these fake ass real estate agents that work at McDonald’s and over night became house sellers.
Damn man, I’m used to paying $20 for a clean fade and lineup, and that’s tip included…I got this new barber who’s only 25 years old charging $35 per cut and that’s not even with tip, so I usually give him $40-$50 depending on how above and beyond he goes…. This is insane to me, since I go once a week/once ever two weeks. Just to see this video and kind of realize my guy’s not charging too crazy high I guess… it’s just bro, I make $18/hr as a fork truck mechanic, work as a chef on the side with my culinary degree, while donating plasma to make ends meet. I am currently trying to get a management job just to make $28/hour… all I’m saying is I’m freaking grinding and money is tight. I can’t afford to be spending this kind of money at the barbershop like I wish I could. And this is just myself alone bro, I got a two yr old son and a 6 yr old daughter who need their hair done as well! Long story short, I got myself a nice pair of clippers and t liners and shavers and now just do clean bald fades on myself from watching videos like yours! I feel like there are a lot of guys who are in my shoes, and just can’t afford to go to the barbershop even on a monthly basis! It suck’s because I’m all about supporting my local barber and the shops and stuff. I’m all about skilled trades and the value of a dollar! It was easier back in the day tho to walk in the barbershop with a $20, and come out fresh as f…still dub back in those days still was something!
Oh yea and meant to say as well, in my personal experience- some of the more veteran barbers out there charging a little less are way more booked, than the new barbers like the young one I go now who charges $35 and is always changing times on my scheduled appointments, when we do have a time booked he’s always like 5-10 late or running behind from the last cut…and honestly I drive by the shop all the time because I live in town, and I never see him up there or his car in the lot…and I’m like wtf…does he even have any clients or work consistently?….I’ve always thought this and have been going to him for like almost 2 years now
Great advice Chris. Your spending habits are taught or not taught to you. Unfortunately, social media has given people a false sense of what wealth truly is.
Yo!! FINALLY! Someone shining a light on these advantageous barbers! I rather just cut my hair these days than pay someone 50$-90$ for the same thing they did 2 years ago when the cut was 25$..
Great information bro been watching you since back in the days when you guys had that Walmart challenge and definitely appreciate the knowledge you share
Bro I start barbering school on Monday 5/8/23 !!! I'm excited. Been cutting hair for 16 years in my restroom now I'ma make it a full time career and my profession. Hopefully no more construction for me.
I graduated barbering school April of 2020 (yea the beginning of Covid) I had to give out cuts for less the normal! Yet those same clients didn’t complain when I started changing 35-40
FACTS the system works and makes sense 40$ then when booked out then raise the price and then keep it going 😅 awesome content and thanks for being that guy along with a select few people looking at our industry for progress 😅 💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎🧐
I’m a barber in Atlanta and the average cost of a men’s haircut is $48 so I charge $40. My mentor Will Stamm believes that is the sweet spot because I am not over charging and I am not undercutting myself as well. What do you think Chris?
I think you have a great mentor in Will. I love sweet slots but I also think customers can change the sweet spot based on demand.. just make sure you have data you can track to see if any changes are happening.
Please 🙏 listen carefully to this message I’ve been going through this all my life and ever since I’ve implemented this system it has gotten better and I’m just teachable today I have always thought l knew it all and this system works premium build clientele until you’ve been booked then raise prices and because this system works I’m interested in what Pie accounting has to offer.BLESSINGS 😅
I’m not a barber, but barbers in my area started raising their prices. Frustrating thing is, for some, the skill wasn’t keeping up with the price increases. I just started cutting my own hair. Sure, I f’d up quite a few times but I got better over time. Barbers priced me out, I was more than happy paying 35-40 bucks a week for a cut, now they get 50 bucks 4-5 times a year from me. Know the temperature in your area and don’t get caught in the social media hype.
Yeah, I can't see charging $100 for a haircut. Theres a fine line between making what you're worth and what's fair and just ripping your clients off. You can make a great life charging $50 a cut if you're booked out and still give your clients a great value. To me, there's no reason to be greedy.
I don’t think charging $100 for a cut is being greedy if the demand is there, that’s just the market place telling you, you’re worth that. If fine dining restaurants charged the same prices as five guys for example it would be almost impossible to get a table. Would suck for those who really want to go to the restaurant and would pay more to get in.
I’ll be honest I was in a pretty good place to go up in price (I thought) went up from $30 to $40, didn’t lose any clients and felt fine. but then where I’m located (small city in Canada) the recession hit a year later really hard, I didn’t lose clients as much as I just lost frequency, and now I learned the lesson the hard way. Wish I stayed lower at $30 to keep my books full thru the recession and now I even debate going back down but not sure if that’s a good idea or not
Thank God. Someone said this. How many barbers have triple figs at the drop of a hat and have less then 2k followers. Don't sleep on the guys in the shadsdows. Chris is a smart guy. I have seen this happen been at it since 03. But right now I'm so slammed that I need to get a NYS accredited education certificate. And then it's game on. Wait until you are booked on booked. You start doing other things. Figuring out what to do with engeninering barber tools all the way to be honest jay M. Is the guy who I consider to be the beast mode I feel that I am and will be.
A lot of it is the youth. When you’re young you wanna floss. And there’s pressure to floss too. You see the baddies with a certain type of guy and you wanna be that guy. But it ain’t the way long term. When you get older the shiney superficial stuff ain’t that shiney no more because you seen it.
Sup big Boss! Love the impact you make on the world big dawg. I’d like to share some things that help me. In my opinion: You only get two things in life… and only two. (Time) if you’re lucky, and (Choice)…. So you better choose where you want to put your time it’s all you get. We arnt promised tomorrow. We are spinning on a rock in outer space around a ball of fire stuck to it on our phones in bassio’s RUclips comments. None of this makes sense….so… since none of it makes sense we should all just make as much positive impact as we can before we go to make the world a better place for your fellow humans that follow. Also… the hardest thing to do is “usually” the right thing to do. That’s why it’s so hard…. Take risks and go for your dreams. -A fellow barber that followed his dreams. Love y’all
I'm a customer and I just bought a pair of cordless clippers for personal use, I respect the barbers hustle , but inflation has changed the game .. barbers better learn to float before trying to swim in these deep waters
Been cutting for 18 years and Im charging $30 but learned to do 20 minute clean cuts. 3 cuts per hour Im making about $90-$105 an hour and thankfully almost always fully booked. Everyone tells me to raise price but I feel comfortable at this price/time ratio that I am doing right now. Dont even have social media just do clean work and treat people with respect and it has worked for all these years.

Raise your price because you're worth it not because of comfortablility off experience alone you're worth 50 then convenience on top and character on top of that you deserve more peace of mind and down time 💯 keep current customers at their current rate and charge new customers something you feel is acceptable but more I bet they pay it brotha
KNOW YOU'RE WORTH MORE, THAN YOU PAID. KNOWLEDGE IS PRICELESS!
That’s too long. At some point in time, start getting into other avenues to make passive income so you can get out of the barber industry.
So cool to see this. This is how I want to be
@@youngali1606you have no idea what your talking about. New young barbers will never understand it’s all about the love not the money
You're probably the only man who's doing it correctly, sharing the knowledge and warning other barbers' of the pitfalls coming. Salute!!

Preciate the love man I’ll keep them coming
This is some SERIOUS advice. Not just for barbering but any business you jump into. He’s spitting advice to build wealth.

But this was the same guy telling barbers to charge like $100-200 per haircut on his previous videos.
🧢 never once have I said that dummy. I believe in premium rates done the right way. Stop spreading lies lol

The truth thats doesn’t want to be spoken honestly 💯
You can make 100k a year charging 30-35 a cut no need for $100-$175 a cut

As barber getting back into hearing charging 40 - 60 cut n only working 5 days sound like a dream
That’s true. Ethics and integrity are part of a sustainable foundation.
Thank you for the free game
The most important thing. Take care of a 30$ client like it's a 70$ client. And it happens. I rather have my chair never cold.

❗️❗️💯
@the one I'm growing my hair out and cutting my own hair now. Just have to pay 60 to 65 bucks to get braided up every 3 weeks
50$ a week is already wild. I get a haircut every 3 weeks. Because of price and also cuase getting haircuts every week can’t be good for your hairline
Yeah, I can't see charging $100 for a haircut. Theres a fine line between making what you're worth and what's fair and just ripping your clients off. You can make a great life charging $50 a cut if you're booked out and still give your clients a great value. To me, there's no reason to be greedy.

Yes but lots of men over 30 too, not enough mentors because it’s also older guys

Sup big Boss!
Love the impact you make on the world big dawg. I’d like to share some things that help me. In my opinion:
You only get two things in life… and only two. (Time) if you’re lucky, and (Choice)…. So you better choose where you want to put your time it’s all you get. We arnt promised tomorrow.
We are spinning on a rock in outer space around a ball of fire stuck to it on our phones in bassio’s RUclips comments. None of this makes sense….so… since none of it makes sense we should all just make as much positive impact as we can before we go to make the world a better place for your fellow humans that follow.
Also… the hardest thing to do is “usually” the right thing to do. That’s why it’s so hard…. Take risks and go for your dreams.

"I can lose everything OR I can lose the opportunity to gain everything" when you are driven these both hit the same 👍
Any advice for new barbers getting in the game ?

I’m the best barber n my area not cuz I got regular price is because every haircut I do ..I do it like is for me
Thanks bossio
I charge 30 and treat them good so they tip extremely well. So 🤷♂️ they’re still $60 clients
Appreciate you 🙏🏼
I'm a customer and I just bought a pair of cordless clippers for personal use, I respect the barbers hustle , but inflation has changed the game .. barbers better learn to float before trying to swim in these deep waters
I need to be in headlines... how can i do that?!?
