    That's some valuable game you dropped. If you are fully booked you can't grow your business because you have no room for new clients. Raising prices will lose you some clients but will open you up for new ones at the new price point. Interesting stuff.

    The reality is you've marketed yourself to the point where you can raise your prices. Everything you said is true. Supply and demand. Honestly there are plenty of people out there that would pay the extra to have a guaranteed clean cut every time by someone they trust. This is the way of the world, supply and demand. And if you demand perfection, you gotta pay that price.

    The problem with haircuts is they simply don’t last long! A fresh cut might last 2-3 days! I watch a lot of dope RUclips barbers but I feel price should be tied to how long something last! But maybe I’m wrong!🤷🏾

      Naw you not wrong and you can’t blame the people that’s getting the cut. If all the Barber’s are going up on their prices, you’re either going to get a cut or not and most people have to get a haircut.

    • @BYTP_Hazaq
      @BYTP_Hazaq 3 месяца назад

      You’re definitely wrong. But I understand most people don’t see it from our side. No health benefits, no 401k, no paid time off, no vacation time, no yearly pay raises, etc. but on the flip, we are responsible for job interviews, weddings, first dates, conference calls, etc. Therapists, counselors, OGs, father figures, etc. We actually could/should charge a lot more.

    Being myself a content strategist, I would totally not reveal your business strategy, Ken. The reason being is that as a barber, you don't want open criticism of your economic gain to breed resentment toward clients and rival barbers.
    Anyone can be a barber, so giving a global soapbox to your personal strategy can work against you and breed resentment that affects your business.
    Your cuts are special, but they're special in part because of your social network branding and personality. Outside being an NBA barber, if you don't retain your reliable everyman clients with price lock, you may not have enough upscale clientele to feed your retire-by-40 plan, especially in the worst economic inflation we've seen in the history of the country.
    You don't want clientele to leave because they are offended by the notion that you will get rich on a very perishable good that will turnover in a matter of days.
    Protect yourself, my man.

      @@ricosauve3941 it's just the way of the world, my friend - and thank you! The goal is to get good at something and sustain it, and IF you can turnover it over passively, you make that strategic investment. The problem is, as a content creator, the media networks change algorithms to keep creators from getting rich! It's not a sustainable primary business, which is why content creators end up selling their own products and having to work on multiple streams to live on....hustling to live. In this case, barbers are already selling products - relief of hair - which is a good of personal healthcare. If you can own barber shops, that's one thing. But, flipping cheaper clients to move into content curation is an easy way to move into poverty, because you still need to sell a product to keep your audience satisfied - unless, you become a celebrity on-call barber.
      Barbering is so dang competitive in big cities, and if you have a client base that respects you and can pay above-market, that's already winning.
      This economy...people are going to go for the best value. You don't want to turn your customers away with artificial inflation, in theory, but, every person's plans and circumstances are unique. Disclosing artificial inflation is an easy way to piss off customers and breed contempt. Bad word of mouth will turn cats over to the $15 once-over-and-lineup easy.
