The 6 Most Annoying Dudes You’ll Encounter at the Barbershop, Ranked

We’re all longing for a fresh cut — but we don’t miss these characters

6. The Old Head

“Y’all know about Frankie Beverly — but what you know about his cousin, Janky Beverly?!” All respect to the OGs, but we’ll take our taper without the gems and history lesson.

5. The New Barber

Unwritten rule: The rookie gets the chair closest to the door. And while we feel your hustle — you gotta get your clientele up — we’re all good waiting for our regular guy. You can stop asking to cut us, fam.

4. The Jokester

There’s always that one dude constantly playing the dozens or testing his standup material for a captive audience. Give it a rest.

3. The Scammer

In generations past, this was your friendly neighborhood bootlegger, hawking homemade DVDs of Big Momma’s House 2. These days, he pops up every 15 minutes to sling black-market hoverboards that go full IED if you even look at a pothole. Roll out, bro.

2. The Break-Taker (aka The Bibby)

Whether stopping to eat (slowly), step out for a mid-haircut smoke, or bicker with his girl on the phone, this dude is the reason getting a shape-up is a three-hour affair.

He’s exactly the kind of person who would spend an ungodly amount of time and effort ranking the most trivial subjects imaginable. Which, uh… hm. Never mind.
