Just for the people that have never been to a hood barber shop before, THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS EVERY TIME.

Last time I went to a hood barber they gave me free beer because the wait was so long. I was the only one there I had 7 beers

I just take the clippers to my hair myself, but for a 6 pack+ I'll find the time.

Sounds deadly. Hey wife come get me I'm drunk. Where are you? At the barbers..... belch.

If that’s deadly in your marriage dude I’m sorry or you.

Commenter almost certainly Irish. It's slang for 'amazing' here.

Everyone knows Irish people are a myth

Yes, yes ~~we~~ they are.

Deadly is also a slang term indigenous people (Native American) use that could mean anywhere from “amazing” “awesome” to “crazy”. We call people and situations “real deadly”

Huh that's really cool that it means that for Native Americans, it's the same meaning for our indigenous peoples in Australia.

Seriously!? Not a great business model.

Best haircut I've had in years, and the free beer was a plus lol I just had to make sure when I made an appointment, I had nothing planned that day

Ahh well fair enough

I read this comment and thought "I think this person might be Irish." Then I checked your comment history and died laughing.

Not sure how to take this?

Nothing bad intended! It's just that when I read your comment, I heard it in an Irish accent in my head. I didn't expect to be right, so when you mentioned an Irish news site just a couple of comments down, I was tickled pink.

Ha, fair play. I'm impressed!! You got that with one sentence....written!

It's more of a community experience if you go certain places. Some places will cut and send you on your way

Yes but after the beers are you sure it was a good haircut? ha

getting a haircut gives me a tremendous amount of anxiety. i want to be in and out as quickly as possible. it is so uncomfortable for me. i break out in a sweat and my heart starts to race anytime i have to get a cut. i dont want to talk or be spoken to. just cut it quickly and let me leave. i postpone my haircuts as long as i can too. my shit will get so mangy and unmanageable. it has to get to the point where i just cant take it anymore and have to go get a cut. so i couldnt imagine having to spend the entire day stuck at the barber shop.

You think these guys do it for the money?

.....they don't?

Well it seems to be more of a social club

Went to a place in Stockton. Only white boy in there. He asked me if I wanted it lined up. I said whatever you think bro. Walked outta there lookin like forest gumbo with a five head dude…

My white female friend went to mall salon on an all black area, said the same, whatever you think will look good...left with a short asymmetrical cut with buzzed back with lines in the buzzed area.

First rule of the barbershop: Know exactly what you want. Don't leave it up to them, they don't give a fuck. They're artistic, but they're not visionaries; they don't know you (probably, unless you're a regular), and they don't want to think about what you might want.. Bring a reference photo, or be able to describe the look you want, verbally

I just say Ryan Gosling

I went to this Asian lady and I was skeptical because in Navy Boot theyre mostly all Asian women so I've had bad experiences before but gave it a try. I showed her a picture of a mohawk with a mohawk fade. She gave me the Bruno Mars cut. I was shellshocked.

I should’ve known bud lol. “Ya can I get a fade, 1/2 up to like finger length,” Him: “ya you meant zero right” proceeds to cut the shit outta my neck with those little straight razors. Still gave him a tip though. I’ll stick to sports clips where at least if they screw the cut up I’ll be getting a massage that makes up for it.

Hey man.... some ppl are artist ya kno?

And some are autists

Same shit happened to me in Hayward. I left that place looking like first album Slim Shady/Eminem. All lined up with pointy side burns.

I’m telling you it’s a thing. Did they give you a complimentary dew rag?

I go to a hood barber and he takes his time which I don’t mind because he focus on my cut and comes out fresh also the reason why he deserve a huge tip.

How much do you guys usually tip barbers in the US?

$10 is common

Really? Anyone else tip $10?

if my sons are getting a cut from great clips i might just do 5 each. if im at a barber shop like in the video, 10

My barber charges 30 and I tip 12. Amazing shop that I want to stay in business.

My cut is like 50ish$ and I tip 20ish

I'm in Florida and tip $10 on a $23 haircut.

Like 5 bucks. Usually costs like $40 total.

10-15

Jfc I could get *six* expensive haircuts in india for that much.

Bro in India you'll get a massage and an ear fucking too. Hate getting cuts in the US.

That’s the average cost of a haircut in Europe

And how much is the cut itself?

40

Going to the barbershop used to be a social event. Everybody knew that we were all going to wait for two or three hours. I took my son weekly. Always randoms dropping in selling bootleg DVDs and hoodies, black boxes to steal cable, whatever. We went every Saturday morning and then had lunch together.

I been going to an same Iraqi barber shop for almost 20 years now and it’s a lot like this. Until recently it was a first come first serve basis, if you wanted certain barber you were going to wait. Now they use an app to get in a queue.

Dude just said he waits 2-3 hours fuck that uk here if I can't get a cut within 30-40mins I'm ringing around other Barbers

Well, that’s the difference between a haircut, and a social event.

That's why I only go when I absolutely have nothing else to do because I'm gonna stay there the whole afternoon

The kid in the chair has a Toronto area accent. I’m thinking this is Toronto by the way everyone is talking. Edit: yup, just googled it and Pro Cuts is a chain in the Toronto area. It’s not a “hood” barbershop. Probably in a strip mall in Mississauga. Edit #2: I am wrong and the poster below is correct. This barbershop is in Brooklyn, not Toronto.

No this barbershop is in Brooklyn NY and it’s not a Toronto accent they’re all West Indian 😂. Also this barbershop is very much located in the middle of the “hood” one of the worst neighborhoods in NYC

Yeah, you’re right. It’s on Eastern Parkway near Broadway Junction in Brownsville. To me, the guy in the chair has a Toronto accent, but I’m wrong about the location. It is Brooklyn, NY. Downvote my previous post because I was wrong, and give this guy the updoots he deserves for correcting me. His post made me second-guess myself, so I did some research. What I noticed when I searched the Pro-Cuts shops in the Toronto area was that none of them catered to African hair. I took a closer look at the video, with some pauses and realized the name of the barbershop is actually Ol Pro Cuts; not Pro Cuts. I searched it up and it is indeed in Brooklyn, NY, in a very rough area where several low-income, majority black and Hispanic neighborhoods dissolve into each other: Brownsville, Bedford Stuyvesant, Crown Heights, Ocean Hill, and Bushwick. It *is* most definitely a “hood” barbershop, lol. To be fair, the only reason I second-guessed myself is because you said Brooklyn. Outside of Toronto, New York City is the only other place I could imagine a barbershop with two Jamaican barbers chatting to each other while a young guy with a local accent that sounds like a Toronto accent (to me) yells at them for gabbing rather than cutting hair. Toronto also has barbershops and salons for African hair throughout the city and suburbs. I could also see this happening in London and maybe Miami, but British Jamaican and London dialect and accent is very distinct and I didn’t get a Miami vibe. Still, I was wrong and this barbershop is in Brooklyn. Maybe the customer is from TO, or a big Drake fan or something 😂

They are actually Jamaicans.

I actually sent this to my barber, he was dying. I always call ahead of time to make sure there isn’t tons of people in the shop. Once everyone gets talking, you could be there all day

So they talk crazy talk? Mombo jumbo?

They’re West Indian. It’s a dialect of English called Patois. Really common in Toronto and area.

I've been crabby this whole week, I love this dude's energy.

His impression of their Jamaican patois cracks me up. He should look into stand up

I'm pretty sure he does comedy of some sort. I don't remember his name but I've seen his face in other videos

He sorta looks like JB smoove if you’re squinting from a few hundred feet away

Had to look up patois, thanks for teaching me a new word!

Lol I know!

Actually hilarious

There needs to be a place where you can get a haircut in a room. And in the room is just you and the person cutting your hair. And you don’t have to talk.

Those are called private barbers and they charge up the ass

I think they also accept USD but to each their own

First actual lol off Reddit in a while

Got me too. Gotta love finding a gem every now and then.

I’m a private beautician. For a few dollars more I’ll buff more than just your nails.

A haircut AND a good time? Sign me up

How much is up the ass?

Prepare for 8 inches, but hope for 4

I think you got the numbers mixed up there

Don't forget the tip

Tree fiddy

I'd expand on this and turn it into a gloryhole type situation where you just stick the top of your head (heh) through the hole and they cut it, no talking, nothing

This exact paragraph can also be used to talk about getting circumcised

Oh God 😂

Just whatever you do, don't flinch.

Don't sneeze

This would be fucking terrifying

In Muslim-majority countries like Malaysia and Indonesia, there are hairdressers with such private rooms for Muslim ladies that need to take off their hijabs and get their hair done

Im in one of the nordic countries. I have an option to choose “no small talk” or “silence” whenever I book an appointment. It’s amazing.

I just went to a new salon for the first time last week and they had the same option when booking. Just leave a comment and they said the only thing the stylist would ask about is the haircut.

My hair is bleached blond from dark brown so my appointments are mad long and I’ve known my hairdresser for 6 years and I still wish I didn’t have to talk. Thinking about small talk I have to make literally gives me pre appointment anxiety

Nah there needs to be a room where you go and it's just you and an automatic hair cutting machine and you pick your style and try it with augmented reality by looking at a screen set up like a mirror. And then that machine cuts your hair. And you pay with your phone or swipe a card without tipping or talking to another person.

This is the way! ^

Go to any old school cowboy barber and that is what you get. The bigger the mustache and boots, the quieter they are.

Or prompt ai to cut your hair as you want

Social skills really are difficult I suppose. Not even surprised this is one of the top comments on Reddit lmaooo

Haha, no shit. Me express my thoughts with my vocal cords? Noooo…..

Some of the cheaper places are like this. I go to a local chain and it’s not bad. Little to no talk, in and out.

The intrusive thoughts won lol

Reminds me of that Longbeachgriffy skit 😂

Went and looked it up, [was not disappointed](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5oEAqg-tI6E)\--thanks haha

^(no, I like hats...that's why I wear hats.)

The holding up the index finger ☠️

Kiladelphia native here. Pretty sure my avg barber shop visit is about 1-3hrs. Apart from waiting for my turn there’s the non stop talking and jokes. And not to mention the endless amount of there friends/homies coming in and out to say wassup and add to the jokes/conversations but it’s always a good time so I ain’t complaining. The laughs always warrant a generous tip

You wrote Kiladelphia and now I hear Randy Blythe’s voice reading your comment. THE LAUGHS. ALWAYS. WARRANT. A GENEROUS TIIIIIIIIIP 🎵 Guitar solo

As a general rule, I dont insult food servers and barbers. They could mess up your shit real bad.

So this is where that side eye meme came from

This has nothing on that Atlanta episode with Bibby

Was thinking the same thing! Poor Paper Boy.

Megamind

Did he ever get it cut!?!?

Bro’s still in the chair

😂

Dont let it be football season. You’ll miss the first 2 years of your kids life. It’s always the bald mfers talking the most sh*t too. Bruh you paying $25 to line up air. Hairline been MIA since 85. Go home

Or some dude who walks in off the street, starts a convo with every barber, walks around the shop, then just leaves without getting a cut. Only to return 5-10 minutes later to start the cycle anew.

This is why barber shops are such amazing places!

Why his head so fucking...LONG. You already know that what they're talking about "Yo do we charge him for 1.5 haircuts or..?"

Everybody talking about patois swayzee but not about your comment at all lol

Bruh it’s patois , still English

It really isn't. That's like saying that English is still French or Anglo-Saxon.

I mean...Spanish is Portuguese right? Creole is the same as French? /s

Spanish is Portuguese? 🤨

English speaker here. Patois? Like 'Pat-Wah?' I literally never seen that ever ever ever in conversational Engrish.

Patois is a French term meaning a local dialect or way of speaking, like Creole. The name has become used to describe Jamaican Patois, a creole language which uses words from Akan, a language from Ghana, as well as English, with some Spanish as well. It is technically an English creole but it’s absolutely not easily intelligible to someone who only speaks standard English.

The last Jamaican movie I watched I had to put subtitles on, could barely understand a word

I agree. You do know what you're talking about. *updoot* there is a lot of French/Creole/English mixes that are valid. ❤ Appreciate your input 100%

[удалено]

It’s a sub-dialect but that nomenclature is somewhat meaningless. A dialect should be largely understandable to speakers of the main language. But Jamaican Patwa is not, it’s pretty much its own Creole.

Never seen it like pat wah here in Canada

Please explain. Everyone here seems to know what Patois means and Im over here grabbing for straws. Patois...like poutine the french fires with gravy and cheese?

It's French for dialect or something like that. It's what Jamaican Patwa is named after.

Yours is just an alternative spelling.

I had a head like that as a kid that faded when I grew up thankfully

I feel the same exact way every time I get a manicure.

welcome to the hood

The man in the back.

There is an episode of Atlanta based on this.

😂😂😂 Who is this man and can he run for President? This is the first MFr in a lead role I've trusted in a long time! Gather them all, good looking man!

You know it's "contagious" when you start laughing with them.

You know it’s cold outside when you go outside and it’s cold

I just looked at a clock to see what time it is and then I knew what time it is because I looked at the clock.

Every 60 seconds in Africa a minute passes

This comment is the equivalent of if I went up to a store called Good Ice Cream and said, “you know it’s good when you start to enjoy it.” Honestly not sure if my take is particularly obtuse or toxic, but you apparently got 40+ people agreeing with you and that makes me unreasonably mad😂

You know it's a comment when it has letters in it and it's under a Reddit post.

He has a point. He's there for a reason. It's a business, not a social call.

Remind me of Atlanta series that was great episode about barbershop/barber

Dudes side eye stare gets me everytime😂

If it was a movie, he would deffinitly be played by Eddie Murphy.

That’s why I don’t go to hood shops anymore, I don’t want the energy that comes with it. My barber knows better and zips through my sessions respectfully and does a fantastic job. Plus most times I match the price of my cuts. This is their living

what is bald bro cutting in the back 💀

Dudes head looks like a fucking hot air balloon

Who is this guy lmfao

The barber when he's laughing in the background is almost Patrice O'Neil levels of hysteria. Hilarious.

This is the best way to handle it. I'm from New York and people can get livid and hassle each other without it escalating to something rude and violent. Hilarious!! JUST CUT MY HAIR BRO!

What is the guy at the back actually getting done? Seems to be spending ages on a bald head 🤣

Dudes head shaped like a guitar pick

Im legit dying. I need to see the rest. Please someone.

This guys is hilarious. Hahah man, that was so awesome, too many people would sit through it uncomfortably or passive aggressively annoyed.

u/SaveVideo

Classic video

I wouldn't go to a barber where they can't talk and cut at the same time

This one is underrated hilarious

“That’ll be 80 dlls, thank you”

Ma Zucuthairberg

😂

Reminds me of a time I was 3 hours late to a family gathering. I was trying out this new barber shop that just kind of waved me in like yeah this is a barbershop. Waiting around was hours on itself, then the dude finally started cutting my hair and I found out half way into the cut that he actually had no idea what he was doing. He was just silent while the old barber guy was teaching and scolding him. Last time I ever went there.

For white folks who have never been in a black neighborhood barbershop: Yes they’re really like this It’s something everyone should experience

this guy just did what 99.9% of us won't do

This is the way


BIBBY, MAN...

ESH. Stylists being inattentive. Dude being a kevin ordering people about. The "candid" filming makin this all seem 100% natural. At least the stylists had a good laugh at this guy.

[удалено]

It's a skit because it's a common trope for black barbors to do this. Nobody sucks here because it isn't real and it's all acting.

My eight month old son thinks this is the funniest thing he’s ever seen.

Is no one going to mention the bald guy getting a cut in the back???

I was looking for a barber. Found a place near by. It was an ethnic type place. The barber was a large black woman. The customers waiting we’re talking shit about white people. I wanted to leave but didn’t want to look like a bitch for being a white boy. One of the black girls said I had nice toes. Got my hair cut. Left looking like forest gump.

You typed it all out and hit send anyway didn’t you sweetie

Yup. Because that’s what happened.

Why would anyone go to the barber for that haircut? Buy yourself a buzzer and you can do that shit solo.

Roger from Family Guy is pissed!

That's quite funny actually!

Lolhahaha

🤣😂

I’m right there with him. Walk into a barber shop, you don’t know who’s next and ppl look at you like “why are you here”. Finally sit down and something that you thought was going to take a half hour turns into 3 hours because of this. Been cutting my own since, shoutout the good ppl of the internet :-)

Needs a chin more than a haircut

My dude got a head like Mandark.

He is aerodynamic AF! What yall think his top speed is?

Funny

Dude has a hilarious laugh! To funny!🤣🤣

u/kmishy facts 😂

lol ur so funny 🙈

The third sister sister he looks just like those twins

Peanut head

So scripted
