I don't know how it is in other parts…
I don't know how it is in other parts of the country, but here at the Quarry Lake store in Baltimore, they're seriously going to lose customers because of their pricing. Thursday has always been a busy day at my local shop for people getting ready for the weekend. A 2 hour wait was always a possibility if you tried to check in later in the day. Today when I checked in it said 0 minute wait. I even said it out loud to myself - That can't be right. But, sure enough, I showed up and there was one person in a chair getting cut and no one waiting. $22 for a haircut, a BIG $3 discount for seniors and $12 for a beard trim? Not all that long ago, like around a year ago(?), a haircut was $17 and $5 for the beard - and those prices had been the result of an increase. I don't know if their rent went up or it was just corporate raising the prices, but I do know the neighborhood and people have plenty of other options to get their hair done at better prices or at something better than a chain outfit for around the same cost. I can easily see this location closing for lack of business which is a shame. We don't have many businesses in this part of the county and it's convenient.
