As long as I have hair, I'll pay someone to cut it. In turn, I hope they would choose to pay for my services one day.
I once sat in a dentist office and and there was a book showing pictures of the city streets then and now. All of the then pictures were private owned businesses. Independent shoe shops, grocers, restaurants, clothers, etc. All of the now pics were franchises and mega corps.
Barbers are one of the few independent shops left standing. I take pride walking in them.
