context: Nah, price what people are willing to pay consistently. Why would you ever undersell yourself if people are willing to pay more? >
  
  I hate it when the barber talks, a quick chat at the start is fine but can't be arsed with waffling all the way through. I just want to get in, sit quietly and get out as quickly and efficiently as possible >
  
  If you politely tell a barber that you would rather just sit and relax in silence, then tell us. We’re not mind readers, and after all you’re in OUR chair, not the other way around. >
  
  I'm far too British for that 🤣 I'll be perfectly polite and chat back, then go somewhere else next time >
  
  If they're still getting business at 100$ a cut, then they're worth it. The customer determines the worth. >
  
  If I'm selling cuts for $100 and people are buying it what's the problem?
  Another case where we blame the person selling, not the person buying. Tell people to stop going to barbers that cost a lot. We don't blame BMW for selling expensive cars do we? >
  
  Learning to cut my hair was the best decision I ever made. Now I won’t EVER have to worry about paying a barber. A haircut used to be $20 now you’re telling me it’s reaching $100?? 
  Fuuuuuccckkk that. >
  
  Every heard of supply and demand economics? >
  
  If someone is willing to pay it, then the service is worth it.  Simple Econ.  May not get a bunch of clients, but that doesn’t mean the niche market they found/created isn’t correct on pricing. >
  
  You sound annoying. Don’t talk to me, just cut my hair so that I can leave.
  That said I haven’t had a haircut in years because why would I pay you to do what I can do in 10 minutes for free?
  That’s what you’re competing with. >

  that’s not who i’m competing with. Thats like saying you know someone that can do it cheaper. If you don’t wanna pay a barber then don’t? nobody’s forcing you. I think that’s more annoying than anything. >
  
  I don’t pay barbers. You don’t offer a compelling service. So yeah, that is what you’re competing with. Every business is - you’re always competing against the cost / benefits of not doing or buying something. >
  
  Maybe you could charge more if you did less chit chatting and being slow and instead paid attention to quality. >
  
  i can’t charge more bc im an apprentice >
  
  Barbers should charge as much as they can to still be a successful business
  but my main take away from your entire post is "enjoy sitting in a comfy chair for around an hour"
  If my barber ever took an hour I would not be back >
  
  Different neighborhoods can command higher prices. In my area (rural NC) under 20 dollars, men and women both. Much above that? I'll let my sister's friend do it, because I can. 
  When I lived in Miami, and worked in an office, yes I paid a lot more. It mattered more to me that I look professional, but you know that already. >
  
  I have no need to talk to my hairdresser. I will, of course, when they chat with me. I’m not a bitch. But I’d be perfectly content to sit in silence while they do their work. I’d rather they see my head as art and be very attentive to what they are doing. If the motivation is uploading a pic, all the better. >
  
  i’m not really sure why everyone is taking the one thing i said about liking to engage with clients and having it be the only thing they are discussing in the matter. >
  
  Last time I went to my barber I paid 250$ for a cut and colour. He’s worth it. There’s nobody else I trust to cut my hair. >
  
  Please don’t ask me about my dreams, goals, ambitions, relationships, weekend plans. My anxiety was already railing before I even sat down.
