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

[@10k_q30]

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

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.

As a 44 year old guy, I completely agree with the creator of this video. Things are always changing, always. That is the constant in life. It never stands still. 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.

Barbering only makes sense if you’re a veteran with free VA health care, you remain single, and you’re willing to fix up a junk house in a declining blue collar neighborhood. Because in a sense barbering isn’t even a real job, but more like outside straight commission sales. Then also one gets the impression that lots of barbers are in it just to launder money from black market marijuana grow houses, which I wasn’t, so I retired as soon as I could, since my shop was located in a declining urban neighborhood infested with creeps and gutter-snipes. But the catch 22 of barbering is that if you’re in too good of a neighborhood then the pussified upper middle class men are all going to their wive’s hairdressers to get their haircuts. But for 20 years it was fun while it lasted and certainly not a total bummer like teaching school.

Uber doesn’t pay that much…lots of their drivers are making less than minimum wage… It is a grind for very many people in today’s economy

[@Bossiocuts]

No but it’s much more flexible and convenient and anyone can just turn it on.. remember what the process was of finding a job that meant all your criteria’s. Flexible hours, work any hours around school? That’s the point I was making.

I cut my own hair now thanks to a barber doing me bogus. I'm so glad because I'm not paying someone 40/hr when a nurse barely makes that

[@CalebAdams]

So much great wisdom for the next generation, love it bro!

[@DarrenDavids-]

I haven't been to a barber in years I cut my own hair nowadays even if I can't cut properly, not everyone can afford cutting their hair anymore.

[@jjmcg9184]

Me either. I just give myself a baldy, groom my beard & call it a day.

51 years Barbering, in Oakland and now in NC. I am a Barber and trained as a Beautician specializing in waves. Now only cuts Black and white customers. $100 is twice more than I charge, but if you can get it I am not mad. Depends on how much work you do. So cut and Paint,I don't do that. Takes me about 15 minutes to cut. Some spend an hour and it's the same money if they spend an hour and charge $100.I will retire soon,but remember all the money you make is not yours because you need retirement and health

[@DanPocketRocket]

Love it Bro! Plant a tree early so you can be in the shade later. God Bless You!

[@jkody]

I was bullshitting with my barber. He was telling me I charge too much @ 200/hr to work on his Audi. I paid him $80 for 15 minutes...lol.

[@Jackknife-TV]

Last time I got a cut and shave it was $70 + tip for 20mins and I had to make time for the barber ...... Then you show up and they're not there like if you're going to force me to make an appointment on Facebook at least be there for the appointment time.

This was a wake up call💪🔥 Appreciate the free game, been too comfortable time to sacrifice

[@t.breeze8659]

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.

Great video! Thank you for sharing.

[@CoachMitchellh]

Powerful and inspirational video. My passion is real estate and stocks. Ive been a landlord for almost a decade now. Its loaded with headaches but looking back at how far ive come with both owning rental properties and investing in stocks, I thank God that i have some money to take risks with. Even as an older man, your advice to scale back on living expenses hit home for me. Thank you
