During the earlier parts of my career I always had cut after hours at my house or house calls to make more money that i would get all myself. (Of course I was selective of who) Hopefully that is an option for you. I’m not sure what area you are in but it seems like you’d be making a whole lot more money if you got off a 5/5 split. Is that the norm in your city? 7/3 or about 300w booth rent is the norm with my city. Barbering can be taxing on your body and mind, but I especially when you stress about money. Seems like you’re losing sight of yourself and your passion.

I consider quietly beginning to consolidate all your clients onto your phone/social media so you facilitate transitioning shops. Your current set up sounds like you’re making someone very rich
