You say barber and I say salon so I wonder if that’s part of the difference. I tend to go higher end places where women are the main customers. I know my stylists too and it’s almost always either been rent a chair and a few W2. Also my experience was a collection of talking to every stylist that ever worked in our salon and that’s a lot because churn is high. But I’d not be surprised if what you’re saying is also true. I have no idea how the chains are ran for example (Supercuts, etc)
