      I agree, the first few haircuts may not be the best but after about a month to three with practice, you develop your style and never look back.
      I was spending $1200 a year on weekly haircuts. Now that money goes to investing in myself. I think if more people cut their own hair the barber industry will probably collapse if it hasn't already

      I grew my hair out for 3 weeks, wanting to get a fresh fade cut at a barbershop. I contacted my old barber, and his number was no more. I went online to find another barber, and the prices were from $50 to $100. I grabbed my clippers with a razor and shaved my own head. I'll be bald for life..

      My problem is that as times went on barbers started to increase their prices but their quality significantly went down… they started half cutting people so they can get people out the chair faster and they started nickel and dimming people… if your going to increase prices at least keep your quality up or improve it with the price… and now they don’t do walk ins you got to book through an app which took the culture from the barbershop and is actually cheating them out of money

But the work ethic I developed has put me at the top. Always a full schedule. I don’t make 20k a month but 10 where I live is probably top 5%.

    I quit my job of 17 years at Costco, so o can go to barber college. Reason I had to was, I couldn’t get a loan through financial aid, cause I made too much. I accessed my 401k to pay off the school cash and made a goal to finish in 7 months. I’m 2 weeks away from graduating, 7 months and a couple of weeks it’s been! Driving 140 miles everyday 5 days a week! Took barely any days off, cause I wasn’t trying to play the long game! Costco knew I was coming back and admittedly took back my application. I got an interview again coming up this next few week. I’ll be getting paid what I left off at before I quit. Working part time hours with benefits and Insurance! Going to do that 4am-9:45 and go to the shop after! Going to do that till I put back what I took out from my 401k and have enough to move out, so me and my son can get our own place! Chris is right. Don’t be materialistic and make the money grow and get the things later! Struggle and grind now .

Always moving forward and always evolving/changing. Those who adapt best are the ones who will be most successful. Those who either cannot or do not, will fall by the wayside, more or less. This has been true throughout human history.
    My message to the younger generation is to do your best not to get discouraged by anything you see in the news or social media. Stay positive/optimistic about your personal future which help tremendously in keeping you focused and determined. You are also not the first generation to experience this and you will not be the last. Every generation has their version of "growing pains" and acclimating to real life. Some people will find their way and purpose and some will not. That is simply the reality of life whether you want to accept it or not. Everyone gets to play the game but not everyone gets to play in the same way, but how you play depends in large part on the player themselves. However, you will only derail yourself in a big way by starting out with a negative/defeatist mentality about the future. Again, stay positive and optimistic about your personal prospects. Where there's a will, there's a way, but that largely depends on you.

    Good insight on this video, In my city I've recently had to switch barbers about 4 times since the pandemic. With the inflation and economy, it seems barbers just cant afford to be only a barber and have to work other jobs also now, So this leads to less availability etc to cut clients.

    The barber industry is definitely hurting im here in the capital of Canada. People are just growing their hair long, getting fewer cuts or doing it themselves now. The haircut prices have gone up because the commercial rents went up, less people coming in and tools have become unaffordable. $300 for cordless tools and no one buys products anymore. Even if barbers charged $20 people would still just cut their own hair, people have become very stingy since the pandemic or can’t afford much anymore.

      You know what interest rates were in 1985? It’s all relative. It was next to impossible for poor and lower middle class to participate in the stock market like today. Some things have become more difficult today but I can think of many more things that have become easier and more accessible today. In 2007 Minimum wage was the equivalent of making less than $9 today, but to invest in the stock market you needed $5k min deposit to open a brokerage account and you had to buy full shares so stocks in companies like Berkshire, Tesla, Amazon, etc were out of reach for many Americans.

I go to a VERY established barber shop that has been around for thirty five years, and now the third generation in the family runs it. They charge a straight 20 dollars a cut. I always give the guy twenty five, and he has a VERY steady and loyal customer base. the owner and his wife (they just had a baby so she's only part time now) and his brother and another friend all work there. It's a great field to get into if you're reasonable and good, and fair.

    I’m not mad that these guys can make a good living now. I traverse 3 cities and have a go-to barber in each. One of my barbers charges $30 and I’ll tip $5-$10 for good service. I also have a barber that charges $65 to $80. While the haircut is about the same, the level of service and experience make it worth the expense for me. It’s more a luxury barber salon type experience than the Lebron-vs-Kobe debating, hustleman-with-the-steaks-and-socks selling barbershop experience. Even in a traditional neighborhood barbershop, the experience and service can still warrant a higher $50 premium without the b.s. extras we don’t want (ie: unneeded color enhancements, that goddamn white chalk pencil, or a straight razor on my hairline). Barbers that figure this out take the time to figure out what makes for good service experiences and they even buy service experiences themselves and note how they can enhance their service. It might also depend on the age and class of people you can reach.
