Yeah, rates doesn’t mean a whole lot for artists.

Paying $100 for a haircut doesn’t always mean the stylist has the requisite skills.

I give haircuts to myself and the shaving device I got recently was like 40-50 EUR and it s expected to last a couple years like the one before it.
My reasons for not going to the proper place is:
- I am always on the move (I might not speak the language of the current country)
- I am lazy and prefer to do things at home rather than arrange an appointment or go wait there
- professionals make the haircut look way better but it will last for a couple days / couple showers
Mine looks plain, in the beginning they look even worse then you start getting it. The advice I would give others wanting to try that: dont shave too much so the small imperfections will not be too obvious.

Yeah, I need to keep my hair a bit longer to not look like a worm
So I bought one of those trimmers, you can connect to a vacuum. This sucks in the hair and it gets cut at least reasonable long.And every place I went, they just did their typical thing that’s currently en vogue, didn’t matter much, what I was saying. It was always just an adaptation of the current style.
So I gave up paying 30-100€ every few months, because they couldn’t get it right anyway.
If I need to look like shit for a few weeks, it should at least be cheap…

Yup, that’s what I do. I’ve been doing it for years and it looks fine. It takes about 20 min to get an acceptable fade, which is less than if I drove to a barber/stylist and back.

It does mean they have the most important skills in the free market… sales.

They might’ve also realized anon was (as usual) a complete fucking idiot when he showed the stylist the picture of some dude and called him a chad.
“lol I’m fuckin dumbfuck’s shit all the way up and I’m rippin his stupid ass off while I’m at it!”

Anon learning (ha, anons learning) the meaning of caveat emptor.
Sales don’t mean shit if the product/service is bad, plenty of bad products have tons of sales.
