For the past five years, this profession has been his source of livelihood and supported his household.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFridays to Sundays are mostly my busiest days. On average, I can work on about 30 to 40 people per day and with the profit, I can get like 700 to 800 cedis per day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Richard, another barber at Lapaz, charges 40 cedis for a simple haircut and more for additional services like hair dyeing.<\/p>\n<p>He shared with Citi News how peak days on weekends bring in a flurry of customers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s kind of lucrative\u2026 they [customers] look for satisfaction, they are not about the shop, how big or how small, they look for satisfaction and hygiene.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For customers like Joshua, the decision to choose a barbering shop goes beyond the exterior appearance.
