There are 5 Turkish barbers within a mile from me Over the past 5 to 10 years they just appeared just like the nail bars and tan salons , they are literally everywhere
@@marineboy1964 is that all 🤔 I went to Bletchley the other month... Talk about Mini Mogadishu! Actually, the original Mogadishu is probably the mini one these days.
@@catherinemartin6258 actually big corporation can just hire oversea or use Ai. So no idea who it was for. The rich people don't even live in UK most of the time since spending in UK is not favourable
@@merlinwilliams1727 It's all changed over to Universal Credit, it has so many hoops to jump through people just don't bother to claim. it's difficult on purpose to keep the numbers down which make the government look good.
Barbers are charging £20 for a haircut and shave it takes him 20 mintues to do it and there be 3 people waiting after me that is £60 per hour he's earning forgot to mention they only take cash so avoiding tax too
I took my missus for a cut and colour the other week and waited while she had it done. After I said it’s ok I’ll pay. £165 for very little work! What a rip off.
I’m glad that I’m a bloke with my own hair clippers, I’ve cut my own hair for the past 32 years and after a quick calculation I have saved myself the best part of £5000, spending £30 on these hair clippers is probably the best investment I have ever made 👍
Labour as a social gov, should be placing the tax burden on the wealthy and large companies not small companies struggling to survey there policies will not promote growth .
Hairdressers have for years payed those learning the trade absolute peanuts, he tells us how people are struggling, then moans about having to pay the minimum wage.
@@MrTreacletimeI was paid very little learning my trade an I had to buy my own tools and overalls not to mention exam/college fees. Once I qualified I was minted. It’s how it works.
Yep, five years on repressed income then it was party time. Couldn’t get a mortgage until I was 23 as I was simply unable to save any money until my apprenticeship finished.
When I was a lad in the 70s, a haircut was 50p. When it slowly reached £5 around 20 years ago, I stopped attending. A set of wahl clippers and attachments for £10 at a car boot sale, now I cut my own, don't even need a mirror. As soon as I sense a price rip off, I'm outa here. Britain = take, take, take.
Hairdressers like Vets and dentists criminally over charge here in the Uk What do there changes really mean for his bottom line ? one trim and shave less a day or something
What is a trim in the UK? Here in Spain it's €6 for a trim (for men). I think women, for a full was and trim is around €15.00, and a colour is an additional €15.00. Dentists not cheap though - I need a filling and was quoted €50, with the checkup - thats about £45!
I have to say that our vet doesn’t, although I know many do. They’ve often waived the consultation fee if there was nothing they could or I was only there for a few minutes, they took off a charge they should have applied for one animal surgery because I’m a loyal client, and they apologised when they had to charge me a Sunday call-out fee. 😊
Thought the guy was making a point until he said “what about minimum wage”. I can’t imagine someone retains a team of great talented hair stylists on the current minimum wage. I am sorry this guy is totally false. If a business feels minimum wage is too much or can’t afford it then it should either not be in business or stop treating employees as slave labour.
When covid hit, I bought my own clippers and done my own hair thinking it will do until the barbers re-opened. Surprisingly I am still doing my own hair. 70 quid on clippers has paid for themselves many times over.
I cut my own hair since 1993. I use a QC5130 since 2012. I just put in some new batteries. I just bought the corded QC5115, which can be made cordless with two AAA batteries and a 100 ohm resistor.
@@stephenmurray8559why? Love to be in a skilled job but those opportunities never be possible. People end up in minimum wage jobs often (but not always obviously) because that all work they can find but not allowed to have a liveable wage why should that be?
90% of people will not pay more than £25 for a haircut. So, if minimum wage goes up such that a haircut costs £20 to offer, why would anyone 1) Bother to take the risk of setting up a hairdressers when their profit margin opportunity is nominal and 2) Operate a hairdressers lawfully when they can get away with avoiding tax
@@markturner-smith5309 but employers don't pay decent wage because they are forced to pay minimum wage to the lazy employees too. Hard workers are having their wages reduced to subsidise the lazy.
My accountant said to me that if he was appointed by HMRC to find unpaid tax in any industry, his focus would be Hairdressing, Hairdressing and Hairdressing!
Your accountant is a bit behind the times! Whilst there's always been room for creative accounting in hairdresser businesses, they are always legit businesses that rely on repeat trade. They're not set up to specifically dodge tax, employment laws, and to facilitate money laundering like all of these fad businesses that suddenly crop up in their multitudes every few years. Your accountant not seen all the Turkish barbers on every street these days and wondered how they all get enough customers?
A lot of hairdressers are working cash in hand people say. He did not complain when Tories raised minimum wage last 2 years. He will be making tons of money if he pay £4 an hour to his workers.
What a tragedy that poor Toby might have to pay a living wage to his minions and only take 6 holidays next year. They hate it when they can't exploit workers, don't they?
If his workers are being exploited then why don't they just leave? Small and medium sized businesses are the lifeblood of any economy. If they are only able to pay min wage salaries then so what. It's better to have 4 people employed than 4 people unemployed relying completely on the government
@@mightyOne1839 Quite right, but these people have no understanding of how much work and cost it takes to run a small business. Many cafes, restaurants, pubs and independent shops will close because of the hike in business rates alone (the reduction in the relief from 75% to 40%). When these businesses fold, obviously all employees will lose their jobs. Additionally, it will have a knock-on effect to other sectors, such as tourism. Those businesses that do survive, will have to pass the cost onto their customers. More expensive meals, coffees, gym memberships, haircuts, manicures etc
My missus hairdresser smokes around in a brand new car every 2 years. It’s all cash in hand at 120 quid a pop for a hair cut and she’s doing 6 of them a day.
That’s cheap! I took my monkey for a colour at one shop and because she was Thai they wanted £250 to die it FFS. Took her somewhere else but still extremely expensive. They don’t have lots of equipment to buy. I reckon most goes straight in their pockets.
Wow. Ends by admitting NI increase won’t affect him and blames having to pay people a living wage for his problems. This guy is a propagandist. Sky do better
Some businesses surely will be affected but this wouldn’t be such a suprise if the employees get annual payrise to reflect inflation. I am a little doubtful that good business owner do not plan in their annual forecast for inflation and increase in wages. It should be in your interest to want to pay more your staff, not just minimum wage and hope that the rest comes from tips. I am not sure I completely get his point.
Oh boo hoo, pay your amazing team decent money if they are that amazing, i ran a business and went into it with the knowledge that I'd have to work extremely hard to give my employees in a decent pay even if i was struggling myself.
@@JDawgstwothousandThis is the point most miss. All business and services will up their prices as a result which quickly makes the new minimum wage unlivable.
why not just raise the single persons tax free allowance to match the minimum wage for a 40 hour a week minimum wage job? if the government want to see a real terms increase in the living wage...maybe they should stop taking taxes from those that are on it?
Most of the hairdressing shops don't accept cards but only cash. Most of them are tax avoiders! So stop crying on a national television. Labour first budget wasn't that bad tbh.
It was great actually. As someone whos just above the minimum wage im glad they've stopped going after people like me and started demanding the rich pay their fair share.
at least they didnt bring in minimum pricing on alcohol, that would have pissed me off mightilly, how else do I forget the tedium of life in the UK if I cant get ratted at home.
I bet, unlike his employees he's had to risk it all to build a business. He doesn't get statutory sick pay or holiday pay. His employees don't have to pay the rent, for the equipment, the electricity etc. Why should he get minimum wage when he built the business. If his employees don't want it they can build their own salon too if it's so easy.
An industry that pays peanuts to its employees, has hairdressers on benefits and exploits its staff. Doing the right thing? Perhaps he should disclose to his colleagues how much he is payed, if he did, they'd all leave.
Oh well. To even consider being self employed. A worker needs to be on almost double what the national minimum wage is . To cover for the lack of holiday pay sickness pay and even holiday pay. And that’s without paying the tax and national insurance. Sorry but anyone who is payed an hourly rate of the minimum wage just shouldn’t be classed as self employed. That’s something the government needs to look into.
Employers Allowance more than doubled from £5,000 to £10,500 in the budget. So employers won't have to pay Class 1 NIC on the first £76,000 of their wages bill. All employer's who have a Class 1 NIC liability below £100,000 will be entitled to this allowance. I don't imagine there are many hairdressers with a Class 1 NIC liability in excess of this. In fact, most small hairdressers will be better off under the budget. Someone needs to do their fact checking.
"Taken all of the profit". Well that is a straight up lie. It also quite literally hasn't gone up by 20% because it is 15% of NI.... Either he isn't capable of managing his finances or knows he lied again. The guy just talked a load of cap. Profit margins are great in hair dressing... Also except for people training, they aren't on minimum wage unless they are bad, NI allowance for small business was also increased.... According to this guy his profit margin was so low he wasn't even close to minimum wage himself before the changes.
How much does he make from a person? How many employees and how much does he pay them? How much does he pay for rent? How much does he pay for maintenance? Besides, how many hairdressing saloons are within his location? There is probably saturation in that business. He's not lying.
He's not lying there's only me and my partner in our salon. Can't afford employees sometimes we haven't even took a wage to pay the bills it's like running 2 houses Also we don't charge silly prices. Stock isn't cheap anymore either
Crying because he is being forced to pay slightly more to his employees already on the poverty line. Employers should understand minimum wage is just that - the BARE minimum that is acceptable. If its affected him he was clearly only paying the bare minimum before this. Employers who pay a fair emount to their workers never get affected by minimum wage changes because they like to pay people what they are worth and what they can live on.
So they could easily do 6 in an hour and have £120 which in almost 10 times A hour at the new Minimum wage. Methinks they can afford to pay their staff.
National insurance that an employer pays is literally tax deductible as it comes under essential expenditure to run a business and all essential expenditure is tax deductible.
The service industry in the UK is the worst in the world, maybe this will make them get their act together and actually provide a service in the first place
No it won't this will just cost more for the average consumer as every business and service will adjust their prices. Which means everything goes up. And the new living wage becomes unlivable very quickly.
Hairdressers have been creaming it in for years. A bloke can get an haircut for a tenner from a barber but a woman pays 10 times as much. I doubt the staff get paid 10 times more than the staff in the barbers. Yes I know there's products involved but that would never add up otherwise Salons would be burgled every week instead of off licences. I assume Kay wanted a new haircut, let's see over the next few weeks
I only pay £15 for a dry cut. My hair is long too. It’s a barbers shop but they cut ladies, mens and childrens hair. It’s a walk-in shop without appointment and she is a good hairdresser and sometime I get a free coffee. Longest I have waited has been half an hour as she is the only hairdresser.
Hairdressing trainees get paid £60-80 a week. He's crying that he has to pay a few qid more. Remember, the minimum wage is the least the law allows him to pay his employees, and he's claiming that he's doing 'the right thing'
It's always people crying about having to pay minimum wage that complain the most about how much they earn. I'd love a full investigation and transparency on what his barber shop looks like, where it is, and how much his business makes.
Absolutely true. My son has a small business too and as he said not worth saving at all. Tories in this case of black hole have actively encouraged low skilled migration in the name of Increasing GDP. One care worker for example with 5+ family members depend on the State education healthcare infrastructure. Sunak gave Indians over 600K of visas because he is a staunch Hindu. No Tories objected to this BS. No deportations because of Rwanda Policy Boris signed when he claimed that he would deal with London lawyers later, fraud during COVID. Taxpayers must not have to foot these bills £5bln COVID loans. Now politicians are killing us while their pay packets are guaranteed.
I didn't get any COVID money. I had to work in a care home cos I lost my job at beginning of lockdown, then lost that job and everything I owned. Why should I have to pay back the champagne furlong
Rubbish, stick another fiver on the £50, £100, and more hairdo and it will be paid because people need haircuts. Anyway, a lot of hairdressers are rent-a-chair deals with self-employed hairdressers.
What will happen is all business owners will only offer self employed seats. Even more people earning less and less with no benefits, no future and probably paying themselves less than the minimum wage, legally. I don’t think a firm has to pay a subordinate business any minimum figure.
The hairhressing business has been pocketing cash payments for decades. Nail bars, independent take away out lets barbars and anique shops and the like are in the same boat. At long last these people are beginning to be caught. What we actually need is an easier tax system that rewards small businesses and this means easier VAT applications, making iR35 easier to understand, i would replace it completely.
They’re smart they don’t sit on there asses and wait for customers During the pandemic they went out there door to door and cut Ppls hair abiding by the 6 feet 6 people limit “rules” At whatever cost possible Takeaways make millions car washes made money too and still are
Labour seem to have delivered. Example company. The £90,000 a year owner has been hit, but the £14,000 a year employees have a little more in their pockets. Even better, it is not business expenses that have been hit, it is the cost of the higher rate tax bracket salary.
My shop is literally 5 minutes away from this guest. I had a cracking day today post-budget and must assume that higher minimum wage will mean more spending power. So that's the flip side.
