    Americans still feel it’s weird, while I grew up with almost only Turkish barbershops in the Netherlands and here it’s mostly Indians. The only barbershop I went to in the US was a black barbershop and it was fully worth it. Biggest difference is that they take the time for you, you can have a nice chat etc. Definitely a lot more expensive than in Europe though.

      Nowadays I am bald and don’t go to any barber shop. But in my younger days I felt that I got better results at a barber who has a lot of customers with similar hair as mine. I am turkish (living in Germany), but (used to) have thin blond hair. So, while I also went to turkish barbers, I chose those who have many German customers.

      Tl,dr: This isn’t necessarily based in rasism imo.
