Yes I am.
You sure can. Depends on your shop and work ethic. My friend at school met with the owner of a shop in SF he most likely will be working at. Another barber there who's in his 2rd year at the shop is making around $90k/year.
At the shop I've been talking with, with what they charge, if I only did 5 haircuts a day I'd be making a hair more than I did at my last job around $48k, plus tips. Also it's just down the street so I wouldn't be spending any money on gas.
Hustle up some new clients, do a few housecalls a month, I'll be living the life.
Plus there's other shit you can do too, like one of our instructors was telling me today about the barbers that cut at convalescent homes once a month, make some extra money. Also the barbers that cut at funeral homes get $50 a head, and that was 15 years ago.
