WHAT THE HELL MAN! Why are Geeljire barbers charging $60 this weekend just b/c Eid is around the corner

[Grigori Rasputin]

My two nephews called me the other day to take them to their favorite Somali barber. I know the dude. I am aware that the guy is asking for $60 a cut. They are totally packed today because it’s the weekend of the Eid.

Therefore I have improvised. I am taking them to a madoow that has no idea about Eid (for just $30…ever since the pandemic the Haircut price has risen tremendously ).

How much does it cost otherwise? I cut my hair for 15 dollars, 20 dollars tops. They should have gone two weeks ago and this would not be a problem.

60 dollars for what? Lol all them arabs do is default fades anyways (I dont cut fade).

 

[Aurelian]

I cut my hair and for others. 10€ each.

 

[Maan]

I pay 1.5 dollars for mine

Where in Somalia ?

Last year I was going to the barber in Somalia every week. They do know how to cut but that wasn’t it. I loved how they pamper you. The head massage and the head washing. They go to the extra yard. (I always went to a Habeshi barbers in Hargeisa).

if they had gone 2 weeks ago their hair would’ve grown back

I went to a Somali barber last week. He charged me $30. I didn't know it went up this much until the barber announced it at the end when he already did the work. I used to do it myself, so I am gonna go back to that way.

I'm in Galkacyo

Majority are Ethiopians

They do a great job and I always tip them.

we’re being colonised

Nah walal unlike SL the shop is owned by somalis, same with the ethiopian restaurants here. They get paid a fixed salary and return once they saved enough. They are only here because their skills are more in demand in somalia

 

[Hodan from HR]

Same for girls.
Cilan saar prices triples on eid.

I wanted to do something nice for my baby sisters so I took them to this Muslim sudani lady yesterday. Total rip off, I spent $350. The henna designs don't look good and she only does hands (no henna on their legs).

At least the little ones seem happy..

Nobody speaks on this real pandemic occurring the last 5-10 years. Barbershops went from $15 a decent haircut to 40 dollars for a half ass haircut.

Being a barber is now a 6 figure profession lmao.

 

[Bundasliga]

we’re being colonised

Wlh how they can come & take up jobs from jobless people

That's why you go to a salafi barber & tell him capitalism is haram

 

[Ras]

Don't forget to tip your barber before eid.

In Somaliland, the barbershops are owned by Somalis. They just employ these Ethiopians.

This one Barbershop in Hargeisa called GENTLEMENS is owned by a dude who left Kentucky, USA. What a smart guy. His place is super busy. He literally built a barbershop similar to black barbershop in the US. He decked it with TVs, with latest cutting equipments, clean and orderly. He charges $5 a cut. This includes a shoulder massage, head wash and head massage. Walahi I kept going back every week. I kept this one barber to cut it for me cause he was really expert on it.

HOLLY COW

Y’all suffering out there.

so how much would’ve been if it was normal times ?

Everything abt female upkeeping is exuberant amount.

I vividly remember a friend asking me to buy his wife couple of Diracs at the Suuqa Dahabka Dubai. (He was gonna pay me ofc). I went to that particular Djiboutian lady’s store. Kulahaa for a single Dirac is $400
