Real Niggaz & Gangsta Clippers barber shop tells me

For

Some owners are cool with my random shop solicitations and some shops "get gangsta". This past weekend I got faded up at...we'll call the establishment Real Niggaz & Gangsta Clippers Barbershop...obviously not the real name.  RN&GC was not at all cool with me snapping photos on Saturday, so I didn't.

 

Two weeks ago I hit up RN&GC, but didn't introduce(see Note) myself as barbershop promoter; my bad. When I don't introduce myself the first time and then return a second time to shops with my freshestLettuce.com spiel the barber always looks at me as if I'm some kinda covert officer there to do some covert officer type shit. After a few minutes of "naw homie your cut was tight" and "I'm not here to knock your hustle" I usually get some credibility back. On this day my back peddling wasn't working. After asking to take pics of the shop all I got was "my nigga is you serious?" stares from both skeptical barbers & grimy haircut-less brothers on cell phones who entered and left the shop many many times.

 

On the last visit Harvey(not his real name) hooked me up with a hella tight tapered, so talked to him first cause I knew him. Harvey couldn't give me the OK to snap pics(see Double note) so he pointed me over to the shop owner where I got the quote of the day.

 

The owner was built kinda like Prop Joe except he was a bald headed dark cat. I made my way through like 7 grimy onlookers to Dark Prop Joe and stated my biz and then waited on a response..........and waited and waited and waited some more. The guy was mute for probably 15 seconds, so I asked again. He continued to disrespect, but said something after maybe 4 seconds. His response still didn't give me confirmation that it was cool to snap pics, so I said "fuck it" (in my mind though) and asked him "YES or NO can I take pictures of your shop". Big Boy got defensive and gave me the quote of that day I told you about. The owner looked at me and told me "MANE IT GET GANGSTA UP IN HERE".  Still didn't answer my question. 

 

Long story short I still got a barber shop lettuce chop at his establishment cause I needed the cut, the cuts are official and the Saints/Cardinals game was about to kickoff.

 

Note: Sometimes I don't have time to introduce my site and take pics in the shop cause I'm just needing a cut cause I'm late to some special event.

 

Double note: Every shop owner run the show a little differently, so its always best to talk to the head honcho first.

 

Triple note: If you ever find this shop in Harris County you'll be glad you did cause despite the scary onlookers the barbers there can cut.
