Old-Fashioned Barber with Cheap Men’s Haircuts


Most people loves to go to salon and have a nice haircut or what so ever. The question is that, does salon always has good quality and reasonable pricing? Although this business idea is for men only, but I would still like to say that salon DOES have more higher price with the same quality with other competitors sometime, which leads to 'what's the point?'.

The Belmont Barbershop in Chicago, USA, they offer men's haircut and shaves. The price is pretty reasonable which $15 for a haircut and $30 for a shave (When mentioning about shaving, it makes me think of Sweeney Todd...). Anyway, the reason why the price doubles on shaving because the service needs more effort when doing it and also more things like hot towels, shaving oil...etc. Furthermore, it takes longer time and they need to make customers to feel comfortable as well.

What about their competitors? In fact, competitions in this career is quite intense which salon may perhaps be comparing among customers. In this case, what they need is good advertising, good reputation which need to get the trusts from the customers and also reaonable pricing as I've mentioned before. It wont be impossible for them to win the competitions in the market whilst they make promotions to get profits.

I love a shave at my local barber shop (gentlemanshop), the smoothness and closeness of the shave is well worth the £10 i pay my barber for my shave. Have you ever had a shave from barber?
