What is the difference between a stylist and barber?
As recognized by the state of California the difference between the two is the ability to use a straight edge blade.
Why aren’t trims less expensive than a haircut?
If the barber/stylist is having to go around the whole head, the length of what is being taken off does not determine price.
Why do you face me away from the mirror?
The big mirror is a tool just like a pair of clippers and/or shears. Distance away from what the barber/stylist is working on helps with accuracy.
I skipped the shampoo/hot towel/drink,
The haircut only took 15/20/30 minutes… etc.
Why is the price of the service unchanged?
The price listed is the value of the service itself, your beverage, shampoo, and hot towel are complimentary.
Value is not determined by how long it took to perform the service, it’s in the skill it takes to accomplish the service.
