The Chronicles of the Barbershop
Visit a Black barbershop if you ever want the "raw truth
**The Chronicles of the Barbershop** Visit a Black barbershop if you ever want the "raw truth." Forget about social media. You walk in for a haircut, but you leave with unsolicited life advice, conspiracy theories, and a debate about whether Michael Jordan or LeBron James is the GOAT.
You sit down, and an elderly man in the corner says, "Back in my day, haircuts were five dollars, and the barbers had real talent!" before the clippers even touch your head. ** Sir, please—just let me get my fade in peace!
And don’t even think about checking your phone. Someone will peek over your shoulder and say, **"That’s why y’all young folks can’t hold a conversation!" **
The barbershop is a "sanctuary of wisdom, jokes, and endless side-eye," but you should be prepared before you go! **
