The barber community in Maharashtra has announced a 20% increase in charges for haircuts and various grooming services, effective from Saturday. A standard haircut will now cost ₹180, while shaving is priced at ₹120. Beard trimming will be ₹150, and services like head massages and hair washing have been set at ₹180 and ₹120, respectively. For premium grooming services, facial treatments will begin at ₹700, and hair spas will cost ₹600. This decision stems from rising expenses for consumables and salon materials, as stated by the Maharashtra Nabhik Mahamandal. The organization noted that the ongoing Iran-US conflict and global economic uncertainties have significantly impacted operational costs, prompting an early revision of prices, which typically occurs every two years. With over one lakh barber shops across the state, this price adjustment is expected to affect a large number of neighborhood salons, although it does not include premium establishments that charge higher rates, starting around ₹500 for haircuts.
