I’ve always been a hustler I was raised in pool halls my father was a shark. So when I started my apprenticeship it was maybe 3 months before I was behind the chair working on clients. I loved my Andis and my Oster model 10 and the eagerness male clients had to get in my chair.
I could talk some men out of 50 dollar tips on a 12 dollar haircut I was a beast. I loved all of the huge wads of cash I would have in my pocket at the end on the day but cash is so easily spent. I’ve worked for countless shops and they all paid off the books, 60/40 50/50 split.
So I have nothing paid into social security for an entire decade and I have health problems now so it’s a struggle to get by without any credit history. I paid in cash for everything I’ve ever purchased and now I’m 35 and I have a 200 dollar credit limit. I thought by the time I retired from cutting hair I would have my own business set up.
I paid cash into a salon for 2 years and worked on tips to buy into it but then my family ended up leaving and the lady I was doing business with doesn’t have the money to pay me back so I fucked myself I bought a couple thousand dollars worth of salon equipment and products and I just left them all behind. I am kinda happy I don’t have to wake up at 6am and do a full face of makeup anymore to go shave dirty men’s ear lobes though.
