Reply to comment by YoggyYog in TIFU by not being able to understand what the hell my barber was talking about, and getting a line shaved into my head by lazarus870

It's a decent tip. Especially considering the poor haircuts he's had.

My barber is from Puerto Rico, charges $25, and you get: hair, beard trim and/or shave, eyebrows and even your ears. It takes minimum 30 minutes but he goes over your hair about 10 times, when you leave there's never a stray long hair. I tip him $10. If I call for an appointment I always get in. Gotta pay the good ones

Man I wish I had your barber. Costs me $60 for the same thing but she takes 45-60 minutes and there maybe is 1 or 2 hairs that sneak through.....but it's better than the other place with the "best barber in town" that acted like a bunch of frat boys and trimmed my mustache crooked.

My kid came home with the absolute worst haircut I've ever seen. Crooked neckline, different length on each side, loads of random long hairs. He went to some kind of nationwide chain. I took pictures, called them and they didn't seem to care one way or another. Eventually they offered him a store credit. I ended up fixing his hair myself and he got his freebie another day. When that was also kinda butchered he learned his lesson. A good barber is hard to find.
