Question Hello, I recently open a shop and it is doing pretty well, but the only problem i'm having is when 3 or 4 customers come in a one time, i seem to go faster. I love cuttin, and i like doing a good job, so do you choose quality work over quantity. help me out here. i dont like speed cuttin, but i be trying to get them out of there.
Answer Hello Pat, that is a good question. It is a issue with different Barbers some prefer to take their time and make sure the job is perfect. I personally do not believe in a perfect haircut. I can do just as good if not better job in 10 mins as a barber do in 1 hour. and when you work in a busy shop with multiple barbers you want to get the most cuts so at the end of the day your pockets is fatter. We just got rid of a barber who likes to take his time he would spend any where from 45 mins-1 1/2 hour on one head and started complaining that he was not making enough to pay his booth rent but in reality it was his fault the time it would take him to finish one head I'll be starting my 3rd or 4th. Also When I first started in a shop an older barber would always stress to me speed is important some people have things to do a lot of people that come to my shop come in on their lunch break or is just impatient. But remember You have your own style of cutting do what you do, if your cuts are outstanding, above the rest then people will come to see you and will be willing to wait just for you! :)
