Normally my wife cuts my hair (she learned how pre Covid to save money).
But we are going on a trip and I wanted it cut before, not enough time for her to do it.
Off to the barber, he’s been in business 17 years.
He says that since Covid, 19 barbers have closed their doors just within out county, not counting chains like sports/great clips.
The scissors he uses now cost $600, up from $450 pre Covid. Prices went up because less shops are there to buy them.
And then remote workers (like me) not coming in as regularly as before.
He had to take 25k from retirement to keep the shop open and it’s still not back to how it was 3 years ago, but he has scrimped and saved to try and get back on his track.
We talked about #Bitcoin next, and what I thought.
Haircut was $22, I paid 30, and offered to send him bitcoin too but he didn’t have his phone? Maybe next time. I’d guess he’s in his 50’s… probably has a smart phone.
But at least left him with my podcast website on a card and hope he listens.
