Shared from DCP Difference Maker @youhavereachedalex ・・・ Charging hourly as a barber aka short hair specialist: NUMBER ONE: Gender. Neutral. Barbers are for all humans that desire short hair. Whether that be a clipper cut or a scissor over comb style. All humans deserve to have their short hair needs met. Short barber-style haircuts involve a variety of detail strategies that deserve the time to be taken care of. Making the shape make sense, adding texture to bring the haircut to life, and blurring those finicky lines. Fades deserve the time. Blurring those lines, working around dimples and divets on the noggin to keep the fade fluid and blended. Male-identifying folks aren’t the only humans who love to get fades. All identities of humans love to get fades, so hourly pricing keeps fades gender neutral, where they belong. Most barbers, like other stylists, enjoy building relationships with their clients (this is my favorite part). We like to hear what you’re reading, what your plans are, and about who you love. Having a full hour with you not only allows you to leave with a rad haircut, it also allows us to chat and have a little fun together. Hourly pricing is transparent and allows you, as the client, to choose what works for your pocket book. Hourly pricing benefits both sides of the chair. It allows us, as your barbers, to provide you with the affirming haircut you desire, allows us to make a livable wage, being tipless allows us to determine our value, which in turn brings to quality of our work to a whole new level. No more getting you in and out of the chair. We want you here, so stay awhile. Then leave feeling good about yourself and know that your barber is properly taken care of. #attitudeofgratitude #leadwithlove #AMPlifyingbarbering #thebarbshop #barbtender #yourlocalbarberwitch #AMPstudiodc #lifeofabarber #washingtondc #barberofdc #identityaffirminghaircuts #gratefulbarber #strandsfortrans #thelavenderbarber #hairhasnogender #lookthewayyoufeel #blagdenalley #dcmuseumalley #hourlypricing
