'I am OK cutting my own hair': Internet mocks NBA star Jalen Rose as he advises paying $100 for haircut
DETROIT, MICHIGAN: The cost of haircuts recently became a hot topic of discussion after Jalen Rose made a remark about them. On February 17, the former NBA star stated that haircuts should cost at least $100 and that paying three figures for a professional barber is reasonable.
According to a video uploaded on Twitter by Daily Loud, Rose backed barbers and beauticians while answering reporter's questions, saying, “So first off, the minimum you are supposed to be spending for a quality barber is $100. I’m here to defend the sanctuary that is called barbers and beauticians. So many guys and people out there think y’all gon’ show up and get a fly haircut, and y’all gon’ spend $35. Y’all gon’ go to the end of the line, y’all gon’ hit up y’all barber. They gon’ send you to the voicemail, you’ll have a 1 o’clock appointment, and you are gonna get there at 1 o’clock, and somebody gon’ be sitting in the chair.”
