It seemed like the norm.
But then COVID hit, and a lot of us started working from home.
This is Evan Harris.
He used to pay his barber $25 cash for those haircuts.
And after the pandemic, the price rose to about $60 after tip.
And then he had a revelation.
I realized I don't need to get a haircut as frequently.
I work from home semi-frequently now.
It's less important to be super crisp all the time.
One of the big reasons the price of a haircut is going up is because barbers are spending more on supplies.
Sherwood Delore cuts hair at a shop in Fort Greene.
He says a pack of once $5 razors are now $10.
A roll of paper neck strips, once $0.50 or $1, now $3.
And the spray he uses to clean and disinfect the blades?
The cool care used to be $6.99.
Now you go to the store, you probably pay $15 for a can of cool care.
A pair of clippers will run you anywhere between $150 to $300.
A few years ago, those clippers could have run as little as $80.
Rising costs have forced him to up the price of his haircuts by more than 50% over the past five years.
And now that he's charging that much, he says customers want their routine haircut to feel like a luxury experience.
