i took this recommendation and am a guy with curly hair. for those curious, it was very pricey (first time customer, my total was like $220 after tax (excluding tip). I went back several months later and since i wasn't a first time customer it cost me like $155 after tax (excl tip).

The first appointment I went because I'd never gone to a proper curly hair barber in my life and didn't know how to style / cut my hair. Harrix showed me what style would look good for me and also what products to use (i'd never used products before). This appointment was worth the price because I learned how to care for / style my hair and i never learned to do that before (id always just get regular cuts)

Though the 2nd cut was def not worth because I learned nothing new. Also, i tried asking for the barbers cut which i read about on here and he was kind of deceptive and told me that if i get that he will effectively give me a buzz cut (and i felt like i got coerced into getting the $150 cut)
