This question is about barber salaries.

Do barbers make good money?

By Zippia Team - Aug. 22, 2022

No, barbers do not make good money. The average annual salary of a barber is $37,230 in the United States.

Most barbers put in at least 40-hour work weeks, and considering the amount of time the average barber works, they are not well-compensated. A haircut at a barber's establishment is normally between $20 to $30, but if the barber cutting your hair does not own the shop, he gets only a fraction of this charge.

Barbers in cities generally have a steady stream of customers every day, while those in smaller cities and towns can sometimes have little to no customers on a given day.

There are exceptions to barbers not making good money, of course. Some barbers who have an excellent reputation and client base manage to charge large fees for their haircuts. However, on the whole, barbers tend to have poor salaries.
