Price Of A Bazzer In Cork?

[Crisp Sandwich]

€25 for a haircut (simple fade + snips) and I give the cutter a €5 as a tip.

To be fair it has gone from €15 pre-pandemic to €18 afterwards and then from €20 to €25 pretty quickly but I assumed that this was across the board.

Revisiting this.

Went to the barber yesterday. There were a few signs up to note that prices had been increased.

Time to pay arrived - €32 - it was €25 for the exact same thing 3 weeks ago.

I had €35 in my wallet so he only got a €3 tip. Because they will not take card payment.

Am I being silly or is a 21% jump in prices a bit off the wall?

What VAT rate do barbers pay?

(Though with their cash-only insistence, I assume the Revenue sees very little from these lads...)

A €7 Euro increase and you're giving a tip.

Still frequent the place on the corner of OlliePoly and Princes Street. Plenty of staff so though it's always busy (which I take as a good sign) you're never waiting too long, and it's open on a Monday when a lot of barbers aren't. Dry cut including eyebrows, cut-throat razor to the small hair on the back of the neck, complete with after-shave, and flame-thrower-on-the-ears,. 13Euro, 2Euro tip. Everybody happy.

That is good value, But how would you react if the fella with the cut throat razor was wearing a Na Piarsaigh jersey?
