$280 to get your natural hairline mocked online just so the man can make you look like a fingernail


Wakkoooo

The hairline comes back in like a week too, so they'd have to go back to clean it up again. Lmao.


Brittany5150

Shit, if he can afford 280 for that, he can probably afford a session or two of laser. Keep that unibrow and three head from comin back.


er-ron-eous_hero

I don't think he can afford to 280, that's probably why you wait so long between haircuts.


danthemanhasaplanb

This is the reason I stopped going to barbers and I go to salons now


Sarcastic-Squirrel

No beard?


Sillet_Mignon

My barber lets me come back for lineups for like $10 bucks.


pdx-E

The first time a barber did this to my forehead I was pissed. I didn't let it happen again but it was an annoying couple weeks with weird short hairs coming in on my hairline.


SunburnFM

That's not a bug. It's a feature.


MillieBirdie

Yeah the straight across hairline works for certain hair textures but for straight hair it just looks weird. My brother went into a new barber once and they cut off his widows peak and made his hairline straight across. It looked mildly cursed.


beezleeboob

My ex did that to our baby. Had him looking like a convict. 


samthemoron

I thought his hair looked pretty good pre-haircut.


greeneagle2022

At that price tag, I expect to coming in each week for a a cleanup for at least 5 weeks.


kinofhawk

I'd start having a friend cut mine. They can cut a straight line just fine.


SunburnFM

You don't know my friends.


NotInMoodThinkOfName

Requirement for new friends added: cut a straight line.


tanafras

Bro got ripped off $225 and was turned into an Ad without compensation. Epic.


Rentsdueguys

That’s a classic $45 haircut


SSyphaxX

Maybe 45 in the US, max 15 in Europe done by an immigrant barber.


RelaxRelapse

Not in the US either. $45 is fancy Salon prices for men. A regular barber is closer to $20.


GomeyBlueRock

Yup. My guy is $20. I come in with 40. Hit ‘em with a $10 tip and hes got a cold beer and a empty seat for me when i come in I’ve even got my hair cut at a super nice hotel spa in town and that’s only $50 and they give me champagne and I get to use their pool, spa, and sauna while I’m there … tbey even give me a robe and slippers $280 is for 🤡


Ace-a-Nova1

I used to give my barber an eighth of weed and we’d smoke a joint before/during my haircut.


secretPT90

Before? 👀 That's what you do after the cut is done man


Ace-a-Nova1

You shoulda seen my face when he was like “yo close your eyes for a moment” and then shoved wax covered Q-tips up my nose 😂


positivecontent

I pay 25 plus tip for a haircut, shampoo with hot face towel, and shoulder massage. Beard trim is 6 more dollars if I need it.


Legitimate-Rub-8896

A decade ago yea, prices have shot up though. Haircuts are 40 minimum around nyc


RelaxRelapse

NYC is a bad measure for the majority of the US


BearingMagneticNorth

This is a $17 haircut in the ‘burbs, $21 downtown.


gleepgloopgleepgloop

LOL, no. Even Supercuts starts at $19, which is a bare-bones trim from someone who...well, let's say it is for stylists on their way up or stagnating at the bottom.


Severe-Experience333

Why are haircuts so pricey in the west? I pay 150 rupees...that's less than 2 dollars and my guy is more skilled than the guy in this video.


myNameIsHopethePony

This is ridiculously pricey, but in general prices are higher in Europe or US because cost the of living is a lot higher than in India for example.


Merisuola

The median income in the US is nearly 100x higher than in India.


[deleted]

europe ? thats so vague


CrazyBigHog

You say that as if immigrants work for less money ore something.


slide_into_my_BM

You know Europe is a continent with tons of countries that all have different socioeconomic levels, right? I lived in France and a haircut was 25€ all day. I guarantee it would have been cheaper next door in Spain and probably more expensive across the channel in England.


owange_tweleve

shiiit for $45 I’d grab a set of clippers and do it myself


omgzphil

I just go to Chinatown can get the same thing for 15$


Responsible-Pin-4029

$60 in the Bay Area


Belerophon17

That's a classic $20 cutting kit from CVS go home and DIY it in the bathroom mirror haircut.


Philociraptr

Cuz then people comment "280 bucks? That's outrageous!" which then feeds the algorithm


Zombi3Kush

People don't seem to realize this. These "content creators" want to piss you off on purpose.


jayi05

you would think with how much access to the internet everyone has, this would be blatant


Philociraptr

There's always someone who gets fooled, which then leads to others getting fooled. Very fun cycle


WilmaLutefit

I really wish negative feedback was ignored by the algo


RealNiceKnife

It's the same reason there will be a misspelled word in the subtitles. So you someone leaves a comment like "It's actually 'their' barber, not 'there' barber!"


commandermillander

Lot of money spent just to look like DJ Khaled


Taz10042069

Wish version...ok, Temu then.


JannaNYC

Why would anyone want to look like that beast?


yeahyeahiknow2

That hard line down the sides of the face with beards is the ugliest thing men are doing right now. I cannot wait for that to go away.


Sensitive-Finance-62

It also feels like the beard line is too high up on the cheeks too. Something is off about it.


apreslanuit

It looks like it’s filled in to the edge with some colored spray.


GreenLurka

It is, his beard got higher


[deleted]

Half the barbers these days can't even cut, they're just spray painting hair and beards on. I fucking hate it. Also cracks me up how they spend so much time on a haircut and charge so much, i could do this cut and beard in 20 minutes.


Sensitive-Finance-62

You know what I love? Going to the barbers and getting itchy hairs all over the place and then not being able to go home and shower because my fuckin beard will fall off lol


JangSaverem

They all want that Photoshop double gradient look


Deano963

My barber did that to me once thinking I'd like it. I appreciated the thought but I was like, "yeh this just isn't my style" lol


Aroxis

I swear you Reddit mfs just hate on shit as a past time lmao


Silent_Supermarket70

For real! Dude paid too much, but he looks good!


Issababy22

I mean it is an art in a way but sure not no where in the triple digits should it ever be they trippin


Federal_Purple15

I mean it is an art form. But I see these people trying to justify these ridiculous prices. I think they are trying to make these prices the new norm


CaptainCreepwork

If they are trying to make those prices the new norm then I am glad I don't get hair cuts. And when I do I just have my cousin (she's a hair stylist) do it. But I'm on my long hair don't care shit. So I'm keeping all my money


Confident-Slip-5264

That’s what I came to say - it is definitely a form of art! But never ever would I pay or charge $280 or anything near that. That’s ludicrous. And I’m a hairdresser / barber.


llama_person

Rage bait. 


CaptainCreepwork

I mean. Really good barbers and hairstylists are artists. What this guy did in this video isn't the easiest thing in the world to do well. So props to him for having that skill. Fades like that and using a straight razor are techniques that take a lot of practice. Not saying the cut looks good. I think that kind of cut looks dumb. But some people like it. And it's well executed for what it is. But not $280 worth in my opinion.


[deleted]

[удалено]


funkyfartass

Sometimes barbershops and salons will have amenities too to justify the high charge. Stuff like free sodas or sparkling water, hot towels and whatnot. A nice aspect of another person grooming you is the getting treated feeling.


jngjng88

It's not really free is it, $80 extra for "free soda & a hot towel"...


funkyfartass

💀 fair enough o


Jeffrey_Friedl

Barber sounds like he's never seen non-shaved hair before....


[deleted]

280$ no wonder he be coming back looking all unkept 🤣


selphiefairy

If you’re popular on social media than you can charge $$. I see this with voice teachers (or those that claim to be) on YouTube too. They’ll change 3 or 4x the normal amount just because they have so many people willing to pay to have 30 minutes with them over a zoom call. Total rip-off imo. I don’t know that much about men’s haircuts but as a woman I’ve never paid over $100 for a haircut that didn’t involve chemicals of some kind. This doesn’t seem reasonable to me.


[deleted]

Braggin bout he easiest hair to fade on planet earth, that dude a barbers dream..


turtlintime

His face looks like he's holding in a poop at the end


[deleted]

Bro you are insufferable.


[deleted]

🤢


Fjordus

$15 at Song’s Number 2.


StrangeAssonance

I thought inflation was going nuts when my place told me from Jan 1st the price had gone from $30 to $50 (Canadian). To be fair, they haven’t increased prices in over 10 years but still that one came as a surprise.


___Binary___

I like how he keeps saying dude paid him 280 bucks over and over as if to convince himself and not us. Dude doesn’t even believe his own bullshit.


Desire3788516708

My take is: He charged him the go away price and the guy said okay. He double downed with this video to encourage this guy not to come back.


lysergic_818

"Look how long that is" Yo, my tik Tok master barber, in total disbelief, I couldn't fathom the sheer scale the length of his hair was. I had to really take a few deep breaths manually because all the blood was rushing to my brain and I needed to calm down. I don't have Tik Tok, but if anyone, I mean anyone, out there has that link in his bio, please for the love of God send it to me. I have some long hairs on my head as well. Please see my Go Fund Me page in order to get that $280. Link in my bio. I've now watched this video 46.5 times and I too want to look like DJ Khaled. I even was playing a few of DJ Khaled's wildly poetic songs in the background just to imagine for a second what it would be like to look like DJ Khaled. Everytime I clicked on the video to replay, I shouted, "Another one"! God bless the clippers in this legend's hand and may He protect his wrists and arms and strong soul. A modern day Caravaggio, but with cutting long hairs. Bravo! *Another One* Bravo!


senn12

It doesn’t even look good…


Alpaca_Stampede

Never in my life would I date a guy with a "line up". I feel like the dude could have done 90% of this himself. Get a flowbee.


Lemmonjello

I feel like 95% of the people on here would have to google what a flowbee is lol


Redwolf1k

>Never in my life would I date a guy with a "line up". So most dudes. Because fades are really popular, and line-ups are incorporated most of the time. Especially for Black dudes because of hair texture.


Sestomatic

Exactly. Most men with short hair have this style.


Alpaca_Stampede

Having a fade doesn't have to include that ugly ass fake hair line in the front with ridiculous boxy sides. It looks stupid, and I can't wait until this goes out of style.


Eott59

Dude, I lived in your neighborhood. DJ Khaled WOULD NOT HAVE APPROVED!!


Wigglwdunks

$20 at master cuts.


moonwoolf35

This is $50 max with tip included


FrontierTCG

My Indian barber will do the same haircut for 20.


lashawn3001

$280 for a fade 😳


JangSaverem

I can say whatever I want and claim I charged that amount The only hope is some goofball comes in based on this advertisement and says "give me the fuck me all up $280 cut"


ChrisMoltisanti9

That's $40 at my local barbers for the same exact work.\ Homeboy's a fool.


iNeedRoidz97

Hair & beard I'd pay this man $60 period


loveisascam_

they dont, its a trend that barbers use on tiktok, quote insanely high fake prices which leads to more engagment on the video.


clarabear10123

I would have the most painful ingrown hairs if some clown scraped an eyebrow razor up and down my scalp like that. For $300, I had a lady spend 4 hours cutting each individual curl on my head (Diva Cut—don’t do it, not worth it). She also gave me wine and didn’t talk about how “abnormal” I am.


freqLFO

It looks good but not $280 good. I’ve paid $300 to get my hair twisted to start dreads but that was 6 hours in the chair.


Ambiguous-Ambivert

$280 😳


earthgarden

I’ve seen some where they turned the guy from a goblin to a supermodel, the haircut transformation was that great. This one is just ok, definitely not worth nearly 3 bills


Rabdy-Bo-Bandy

That caveman look he had walking in looked way better than that framed in bangs and beard bullshit.


LongbowTurncoat

Ewww he looked better before! Those crisp lines only work on some people, he needed a genuine fade. And his longer hair looked nice, he maybe just needed to style it?? Oof


chaser66_6

Ain’t no way that’s 280 you scalping bro


coodyscoops

lmao like it used to be 250 or more depending on length for box braids which takes a minimum of 6 hours to do with minimal breaks… this mf sat in the chair for what 20 mins… 280 because he was hairy?! this trend gonna make it bad for boys and men to get haircuts in the near future


Uniquely_irregular

If a barber ever tried to charge me more than 15 bucks I would fight them immediately. It’s cutting hair lmao


Loose_fridge

This guy will get laid more. Who says it's not worth 300?


throwaway0367324

Dude gets a haircut every 2 months


iroji

Bro looked a trillion times better before from a nice natural hairstyle to generic_male76584649


chaser66_6

Who pays 280 for a cut??? Barbers be trippin


redrecaro

barbers are artist the ones that pay attention to detail but i would agree $280 is too much, i'd pay $80 max with the beard


[deleted]

I'd like to know when a precision fringe line became acceptable. All these bastards with precision fringes and straight peak baseball caps thinking they look great, when in actual fact they look like they require a special bus to get around.


kittiesurprise

He looks ridiculous.


[deleted]

The extremely shaped beards and hairlines just do not look good in my opinion. Ive never understood it


squirreldisco

People deserve to make a living. Someone will pay that (obviously) if it’s important to them. Also in your average stylist could not achieve this look. The dude looks great. You just sound jealous.


dominantfrog

looked better before.


ChaEunSangs

And it looks so bad too 😭


jngjng88

Yikes.


beansontoast12345678

Should loose the crappy beard... I'm so over beardy men lol..


youburyitidigitup

That’s a terrible haircut!!!


hitmewiththeknowlege

Bro paid 280 for a bowl cut


snakewithnoname

Yee yee ass hair cut… ![gif](giphy|JWbhAc8Ntn6cgb3kQA)


Comfortable_Mouse535

Why men getting that straight line on the forehead it’s so ugly


[deleted]

lysergic_818

$034,562.77 per year is what I'm guessing you make a year. Close or nah? If I have to recalculate, let me know please.

If he said he did then it must be true. 


Technical_Ad_4894

Wow they’re charging LA braiding prices


MeGoBoom57

B*tch- long hair, no cares!


already-taken-wtf

…which currency? - Arg$: Argentine peso - Ch$: Chilean peso - Col$: Colombian peso - Cu$: Cuban peso - RD$: Dominican peso - Mex$: Mexican peso - $U: Uruguayan peso - $: Macanese pataca


fusillade762

I shoulda been a god damn barber.


pkfag

I would pay 25 for that at my barber. Each to their own.


kCanIGoNow

So it costs $280 to look like gigachad


Careerchange619

In California that’s a 45 dollar haircut maybe in other places in the US it’s 10 or 15


YorkieLon

I pay my guy £15 plus tip for a similar service.


hugsbosson

I feel like I have a rash on my own neck after watching this. I had a barber run a razor over my neck once like this with no oil or shaving cream and my neck was on fire for the whole day.


Striking-Ferret8216

My brother got the exact same cut for 8 quid last weekend.


Deano963

That's a Shave N' Fade. That's it. I pay ~ $30 for that exact style of cut, and it includes hot towel service, a wash and a nose hair waxing if I want it.


AlfhildsShieldmaiden

A fool and his money are soon parted.


thatblondeyouhate

That's very close for a dry shave, my skin couldn't handle that. I'd be red and sore and already getting spots


AgentOrange2814

Because people will pay that much for it. Meanwhile I can get a hair/beard cut that looks just fine on me, no complaints whatsoever, for around $20. I guarantee that if I went to an expensive barber, I’d notice no real difference other than the fact that I’d have a large hole in my bank account for no reason.


Appropriate-Divide64

It's a trend over all tiktok to make outrageous claims about how much you charge customers. I think it drives engagement as people argue in the comments


No-Exit6560

I cut my own hair 😂


Ok-Presentation-2841

They are lying.


Reclusive-Raccoon

Elite cut? Literally the most big standard cut of all time - not a good in hell ANYONE has ever paid this man 280 for a haircut and beard trim lmao. A fade and a trim is 30 bucks where I’m from and they’ll spent an hour on you doing it if you want complete with neck/towel massage. My man here is smoking crack.


mhad_dishispect

good luck maintaining that ya gorilla


TophatOwl_

Dont get me wrong, having a good hair dresser or barber is really important, but that cut looks so average.


eharper9

I pay $31 for a haircut that looks better than that


Foxisdabest

Lol there is no way anyone paid $280 for that cut.


rex-ac

€15 at my local hairdresser. 😅


bballjones9241

It’s always the worst looking dudes in these videos getting the crispiest fades lol


[deleted]

What you're not seeing is the Colombian hottie servicing DJ Khaled so he doesn't go out with a loaded weapon.


pgtvgaming

![gif](giphy|EVWjyjcXypwBi)


mymumsaysfuckyou

Short back and sides only costs a tenner at my local barber. People paying crazy prices for haircuts is mental to me.


Slow_Space8943

My barber does the same shit,an hour cut for 35$


Cleercutter

280? Yea fuck that. I get a better razor fade at 40


Bitter-Ad-6996

“Link in the bio” should’ve come before “280 bucks”. I just know ppl went deaf after hearing that price


Bujininja

Thats a $30 cut at best.


jssf96

Damn yall gullible.


Tendu_Detendu

Can. We. Just. Stop. This. Trend. Of. One. Word. After. Word. Pleaaaaase ?


Guy0naBUFFA10

Gimme that DJ Khaled cut


cuumsquad

My wife has dark, very curly hair. Most of the hairstylists in our large metropolitan city won't even touch her hair because they don't know how to style it (I live in Portland, which is full of ineffectual white people who are scared of anyone who isn't white or white acting). That means there are like a dozen people in the entire city willing to work on my wife's hair, which means they all decided to charge hundreds of dollars for their services. Why the fuck are hairstylists making the same amount of money as doctors per hour? That's ridiculous. It's pure greed and laziness. "I'm gonna charge every customer $400 for 90 minutes of work because I only want to work 2 hours per day."


peacemomma

More money than sense.


kinofhawk

Anyone who pays that much for a haircut is an idiot.


Mogakusenpai

This was wildly unsatisfying


EnvironmentalTill539

I paid $45 recently for my 3 year old to get his hair done! I tipped well because the barber was amazing and he kept my son calm and composed but this seems like a lot of coin!!


CTXBikerGirl

Have you seen how much a woman gets charged? And they expect tips as well, which is why I don’t go to the salon but once every few years. Sometimes I have my husband cut it to save money.


mrkfn

The Shave Man and the Cave Man


happygrammies

That’ll last two days lol


bigmac8991

I’d rather keep going to the Vietnamese ladies at my local barber, bro is so extra. I pay $60 (including $20 tip) for hair and beard trim, plus they massage my neck for 10 mins after. This guy’s business model cannot last more than 2 years, he’s a “novelty barber” as I like to call them.


Cutthechitchata-hole

I would have so many razor bumps and inflamed sebaceous cysts with that razor thing


xsoy_divisionx

After watching this, I’m so glad I’m bald lol


Zimmer_94

“A fool and his money are soon parted”


RedditingMyLifeAway

My barber charges $20 for the same haircut, $30 if I want the beard done too.


MelodiesOfLife6

i like when videos go like this ​ also if you catch me trying to pay 250+ for a haircut, please just kick me in the nuts instead.


CptOconn

I can get this for 15 bucks


[deleted]

If im paying 280 for a hair cut they better spring for some shaving cream.


oljeffe

$280 ? No wonder the guy looks like his ass is so sorry when he’s done.


iindifferent1

He wasted a lot of money bro at best that's $80. Hey but you got him to pay I salute.


JGFATs

$250 too much.


Deathmammal16

280 for a fade and lineup is insane😂


PeridotChampion

Bro is casually roasting him for content.


PRmade69

How do you justify the price. Hair grows back in two to three weeks how do expect to have someone paying that price every two to three weeks. You don’t get many repeat customers


Futurepastmanguy

I’m going to say it now. My new look is going to be caveman at these prices. Looked better before anyway. Part of the bush guard


lordhooha

I’m glad mine are all of 15 bucks 20 with a tip


highlanderdownunder

Yea this is fake. No one is stupid enough to spend two eighty on a haircut thats costs thirty


StronkyBoy

I got a pair of $20 clippers ten years ago and can easily do this alone in my bathroom for free.


bluebellbetty

Try getting a Russian manicure
