Rant: lost a whole Saturday to a single haircut and walked away with $12

Had a guy come in last weekend named Marcus who wanted a high fade with a beard trim. Took me over two hours cause he kept changing his mind after every pass. By the time he finally said it was perfect, I missed three walk-ins and barely made enough to cover my chair rental. Has anyone else dealt with clients like this where you wish you just said no from the start?

Oh man that's rough. I mean maybe it's just me but I wonder if guys like that are actually lonely and using the haircut as an excuse to have someone to talk to for a couple hours. Not that it makes it any better for you missing out on money though.

Wait, he actually stood there for TWO HOURS?
