Blacks and Arabs are the absolute best barbers in my experience.

Barber shops in black communities are sometimes kind of a social hangout...they play a lot of dominoes and shite after hours for entertainment.



You ever watch black people play dominoes? That shite is funny as hell. When I was in the Army I watched many a games dominoes played by blacks. They jump around yell at each other cuss each other out, you name it.

Less clean up. Sweep and go.



This is true, I am not black, but back in the day one of my friends use to cut hair after school for $5. My house use to be between a private and public school so my house was the meetup stop. He would cut hair outside on my front porch. He would do 5 or 6 people a week. It was a much easier clean.

Had a black barber cut my hair before my wedding, small town and just walked into a barber.

My shite was tight, never had a line so straight. Dude never said a word to me the entire cut. Eddie Murphy is full of shite.

Eh, my experience in Afghanistan says otherwise. When we'd stop at FOB Fenty in between missions, we'd always visit the barbershop on base that had local barbers who were the absolute best with the straight razor.

They'd always finish you up with some hot shaving lotion on the back of your neck, some alcohol, a light scalp massage, a long q-tip dipped in alcohol and torched to singe the hair off your ears, and a crack of the neck.

Again, the absolute best.

Arab guys are pretty amazing from my experience too.

Ever had one use the string on you?

My black attorney gets his haircut like at 7 or so at night at his barber.

Woman who cuts my hair does it often after hours. Makes it convenient for her clients who work.

They’d go out of business if they opened early?

It's usually the same dealer who works out of at the nearby 'hood carwash during the day.
