As a stated above, the barbers I see are always busy. Younger men these days go to the barbers FAR more frequently than my generation. I'm 51, have a short back & sides hair cut and have gone for a hair cut once a month religiously since I were a lad. My 18 year old step son goes at least once a fortnight. I have a family member who's a hipster barber in Stirling. He has many clients who pay by monthly direct debit and go every week, without fail, for their (to the bone) skin fades.

Vape shops and tanning joints on the other hand.......I remember a few years ago reading a report that if the numbers declared by Glasgow tanning studios were accurate, the average Glaswegian would be black!
There are definitely barbers that are busy. A guy I was at school with is part owner of Rag & Bone which is very successful and busy and he previously worked for Boombarbers which is likewise.

The barbers I use is generally busy. There are others though, including one right next door to where I go that are never busy. There is one guy who sits in the shop day in, day out and I have never, ever seen him cut anyone's hair. Across the course of an hour or so a couple of fancy cars will pull up, nip inside for a minute or 2 then leave again. If it's legit then I'm a Hearts fan.
