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.
Yeah what is on about. I was worried that the NI increase would hurt. Messaged my accountant and she said it’s not that bad. It going to hurt big business but small not. We should save £5k a year with the changes. 5 staff salary ranges between £50k and £28k

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. 😊
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.
If the only way a business can survive is to pay low wages then that business shouldn't exist, because it's either a business model of greed or incompetence.
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.
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 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?
Well yeah he's saying that he's soon not going to be able to pay them at all. Not every buisiness is a huge corporation that pays min wage and makes huge profits, small buisinesses that literally are constantly on the edge of shutting down can only afford to pay what they can.
@@derektaylor9056 Who'd want to work for a guy whos margins are so narrow he is basically saying out loud 'im one minimum wage increase away from insolvency' (or one unexpected bill, or utility hike etc) People deserve a bit of job security & he is essentially letting all his employees know he is giving them none. Paying the absolute, bottom bare legal minimum wage or barely above should be considered a mark of shame against employers.
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.
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.
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.
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.
As a sole director I’ve been shafted out of £615 minimum thanks to the NI and I can only put my prices up as I can’t live on any less. Inflation and a recession is quite a trick to pull off but Labour just might manage it.
When I finish my web service and deploy it, it will not be hosted on UK servers, nor will it be registered here, and when the need comes to staff it, they won't be in the UK either. Well done, Reeves! When I am thinking that way, what of the larger firms, whose overheads and staffing costs are much larger? Will they still want to set up shop here?
Please bring the torries back, 14 years of austerity, brexit, tanking the economy, billions of deficit, giving the top 1% tax breaks. I wish we had more of that. Blaming current gov to fix that, and find the money. That makes sense 🤷♂️
@@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?
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.
We bought some with gift vouchers we received as a wedding present - that was over 20 years ago, it's amazing to think how much those clippers have saved us over that time (especially since there's now family also needing a haircut every month)
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.
Exactly right. However, there will be no need for apprentices who are trying to learn a trade or salon receptionists. There’ll also be chancers like there are now eg people who can’t cut hair, aren’t qualified to be gas fitters, electricians etc.
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.
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
With of course,absolutely no overheads whatsoever. Rent , council tax, heat and light, stock, equipment and everything else are of course completely free to hairdressers. I have been inthe industry since 1967, still working part time and like most of us, worked many long hard hours for a very modest income. Your comment, frankly is an insult to the vast majority of us.
This man is almost in tears, and feel for him and other small businesses. In his trade hundreds of money laundering outlets have sprung up across the country, employing family and friends
I have family in similar situation. They are finished. Next few days after legal meetings will possibly result in closure. They cannot endure any more increases. They have both cut their own salerires to pay the staff. They have a mortgage as well. It's a limited company which helps. Sadly 2 shops are now closed. One left. May have to close shortly after legal decisions. Ten years to build a business and now this.
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.
@@Cashback13 not only that, they are doing nails and waxing in these places. Within 60 mins of waxing, cuts etc , 1 worker has paid for everyone on minimum wage. And dont think for a moment everything goes through the books.
Regarding the barber shops, why is it that we all know exactly what they're up to, but HMRC, the Police and the authorities in general leave them well alone to continue their nefarious activities?
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.
I had a barbershop run by greeks in my area for nearly 40 years. It had to eventually shut due to competition from Afghan/Turk,/Pakistani . There are now 5 in it's place with no improvement in quality or price. Nearly every shop is now either a grocery store or a hairdressers. I'm struggling to see the benefits that the eliites keep telling us there are .
He's in for a bigger suprise has will labour voters the Tories capped council tax. To stop councils hiking up council tax. Labour are getting rid of that cap. So councils if they want can hike up council tax. 15 percent and every year they can hike up council tax to what ever they feel
As a short term fix just sack one member of staff. Then look at costs, business rates etc. It may be better to make all staff self employed where they provide all their tools and materials. He just rents out a seat and lit/heated premises. No employment so no NI or wages. The former employees may end up on less than minimum wage but that would be legal. They would just have to work faster or try and charge more.
@@JointAccount-yp3nb an economic sinkholes is a funny way of saying public services. But we need to spend, the place is falling apart. Schools, are a shambles, the NHS is on its knees (Thats more to do with keeping doctors a privileged position, rather than turning it into a trade.) and businesses have got away with it for too long. Like fixing potholes is a good use of this money.
I own a small business and yes I will certainly be affected by this budget but it's certainly not enough to put me out of business. I pay my staff above minimum wage already but the wage increase they get next year will be slightly less. So it will hit my workers as well. I understand services need to be paid for and I want fir, healthy, educated people working with me so if my business needs to pay more then so be it. I've built a business strong enough to take it
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.
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
"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
Yep. Self employment. I have left a 61k salary in education to become self employed. I had over 50% deductions so i couldnt afford to live basically with the cost of living rises and contributions and student depts. Now ill never go back. Loads of sepf employed work out as everyone abandons employment and public sector. Now i can reduce my outgoings and work 30hrs a week instead of 70+
Love how most the commenters here clearly have no idea how to run a business and the impact this is going to have... Salons charge the prices they do because they're the professionals and actually... they've been forced to raise their prices for years to cope. This really is going to ruin peoples lives, because (as he mentions) business owners aren't going to be able to pay themselves in order to cover their staff and day-to-day business costs. PS. I'm not even a hairdresser, I just understand and appreciate the knock-on effect this will have. PPS. A salon hiring and supporting hairdressers is not a barbers.
It’s not a level playing field either. There are cash in hand businesses who declare nothing to the tax man, pay no rent, business rates & go bankrupt regularly.

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
I'm not sure of the score nowadays, but Hairdressing used to be catastrophically poorly paid. ( i mean, *really* bad)
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!
Oops ignorance again
@@macstyle2012I had a dry cut last week, just a trim and thinned out £15 took about 6 minutes
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. 😊
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.
If the only way a business can survive is to pay low wages then that business shouldn't exist, because it's either a business model of greed or incompetence.
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.
120? Where's her salon, Buckingham Palace?
@@healing682I've actually seen some of these myself, my missus had highlights done a few weeks ago and that set her back £150. Its a joke.
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.
So she's a Tax Dodger then?
@@emanuel1940 those are Dubai prices, what the heck are they doing in London for that price? lol
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?
U need to stop smoking the Waky Backy mate ! Your on minimum wage for a reason
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
Clearly have never run a business before. I do and its why I'm taking my business out of the UK.
@@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
@@jw841 I took my business and skills out of the UK after Brexit. Spain now has my skills and my taxes - UK lost me and my money.
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!
Lies lies and lies.
It's mostly cash in hand. And self employed hiring chairs as opposed to employed so not sure where he is coming from
Well your account has no idea and is probably bald
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?
@@ellen8847 not in my experience. Ex husband was a barber & all the companies he worked for were at it. 🤷
Hairdressers/ salons have been ripping it for years. The majority charge way too much for cuts, colours, etc.
Men’s barbers are just the same, I’ve not got much hair and got charged £11 ( pensioner rate ) I reckon a fiver of that was a search fee!
The prices of stock and rents are through the roof.
Do it yourself then.
I bet he pays his employees near minimum wages.
wots ur point
Well yeah he's saying that he's soon not going to be able to pay them at all. Not every buisiness is a huge corporation that pays min wage and makes huge profits, small buisinesses that literally are constantly on the edge of shutting down can only afford to pay what they can.
@@derektaylor9056 Who'd want to work for a guy whos margins are so narrow he is basically saying out loud 'im one minimum wage increase away from insolvency' (or one unexpected bill, or utility hike etc) People deserve a bit of job security & he is essentially letting all his employees know he is giving them none.
Paying the absolute, bottom bare legal minimum wage or barely above should be considered a mark of shame against employers.
@@Nick-io9uk welcome to most small businesses in the UK. Soon it will be all big corps and nothing else
@@derektaylor9056 where's the incentive to work for so little?
Shop prices are ridiculous. Girlfriend sold her shop and went mobile. Life's FANTASTIC
Mobile is the way, and with the damned council business rates, and being tied in, generally, to leases, who the hell would want a shop?
I don't understand why hairdressers with a solid client base don't go mobile, or at least for half of their work hours.
@@Cocogomez They hire chairs with increasing regularity. This cuts costs.
Turkish barbers first now Turkish restaurants what’s going on all cash only
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.
I don’t understand …. there are towns and villages where there are more hairdressers/barbers starting up than any other sector
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.
Yeah ive spent £0 on hair cuts in 30 years 😂
But we've got the lovely "Turkish" barbers now.
can never go wrong with a Turkish barbers
Stuff the turkish ! I do my own, hair clippers £15.00 or less at EBAY !!!!! 🤣😂🤣😂......🧠= £££..... 🎉🎉🎉....
spot the refuk Ltd voter.....
Toby needs to get a grip
The small building firms are finished too.
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.
Cash only!
tip of the iceberg on how bad the future will be for the UK
Tax is theft.
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.
£4.00 per hour ? Get Real
As a sole director I’ve been shafted out of £615 minimum thanks to the NI and I can only put my prices up as I can’t live on any less. Inflation and a recession is quite a trick to pull off but Labour just might manage it.
There are five salons and barbers in my little town. Why are there so many?
Turkish barbers?
Subsidised by Government I believe. 🤔@Bassyswing1
When I finish my web service and deploy it, it will not be hosted on UK servers, nor will it be registered here, and when the need comes to staff it, they won't be in the UK either. Well done, Reeves!
When I am thinking that way, what of the larger firms, whose overheads and staffing costs are much larger? Will they still want to set up shop here?
Maybe this bloke needs- to re-read the NI threshold details. Very few barbour shops will need to pay
This budget will stop employment, stop pay rises as its made to catch tax dodging in a different area, its going to be interesting in April.
"stop employment"? Lols.
That’s funny where I live we now have 5 Turkish barber shops and one English,they never seem busy ,where’s the money come from to pay the rates etc.😢
Government subsidised. 🤔
spot the refuk Ltd voter.....
A budget produced from a government's which has MPs who have never owned or run a business.
Bravo Labour 👏
There are very few hairdressing salons that directly employ staff. They rent a chair, and get none of the benefits of sick pay etc.
The day of the private small business is officially over!
Please bring the torries back, 14 years of austerity, brexit, tanking the economy, billions of deficit, giving the top 1% tax breaks. I wish we had more of that. Blaming current gov to fix that, and find the money. That makes sense 🤷♂️
Why aren’t they doing anything about these “barber” shops everywhere? Only take cash and all owned by the same group of people…
Why shouldnt people on minimum wage get more? He probably makes his staff work long hours while he has his feet up.
They can get more for sure, but customers will also have to pay more to absorb national insurance and wage increases.
@@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?
@@JDawgstwothousand If they're employed themselves I'm sure they won't mind considering their pay would of gone up too.
@@johntowers1213 that would make it £24,000 before tax, a nice idea 2 grand a month takehome, an actual livable wage
Got to be out of your mind to invest in SME’s in the UK with this government.
I wonder if he took advantage of government loans to furlough his staff during COVID?
Well probably but how else could it survive if no-one was allowed out?
I wonder who forced him to shut down his business during Covid... forcing him to take that Furlough pay in the first place
So what if he did. How else would small businesses have survived, if not for furlough payments?
Some outrageous sums.
What's that got to do with anything ?
£25 for a haircut and they cant turn a profit? Cry me a river
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.
We bought some with gift vouchers we received as a wedding present - that was over 20 years ago, it's amazing to think how much those clippers have saved us over that time (especially since there's now family also needing a haircut every month)
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.
Exactly right. However, there will be no need for apprentices who are trying to learn a trade or salon receptionists. There’ll also be chancers like there are now eg people who can’t cut hair, aren’t qualified to be gas fitters, electricians etc.
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.
@@jw841thank God someone else gets what it actually means
They have to cover the cost of the hotels and flats that were built on manufacturing sites afloat some how.
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
Spot on.
With of course,absolutely no overheads whatsoever. Rent , council tax, heat and light, stock, equipment and everything else are of course completely free to hairdressers. I have been inthe industry since 1967, still working part time and like most of us, worked many long hard hours for a very modest income. Your comment, frankly is an insult to the vast majority of us.
At those prices, if your barber pays more tax, your cut will end up costing £40.
This man is almost in tears, and feel for him and other small businesses. In his trade hundreds of money laundering outlets have sprung up across the country, employing family and friends
His business model needs to change.
You'd think they'd be used to cuts.
Stop charging £100 for a haircut
£100 is about right for a decent London hairdresser.
WE ALSO GOT SCREWED, PENSIONER, S HEATING MONEY. AWAY 😢
Bwahahahahaha!!
I have family in similar situation. They are finished. Next few days after legal meetings will possibly result in closure. They cannot endure any more increases. They have both cut their own salerires to pay the staff. They have a mortgage as well. It's a limited company which helps. Sadly 2 shops are now closed. One left. May have to close shortly after legal decisions. Ten years to build a business and now this.
Lol😂😂😂 I pay £20 for a 10 minute haircut, there are about 16 barber shops in my small town😅
Think I counted 21 in mine most of them on the same road
It's only £10 around stockport 😂😂😂hahaha goodbye
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.
@@Cashback13 not only that, they are doing nails and waxing in these places. Within 60 mins of waxing, cuts etc , 1 worker has paid for everyone on minimum wage. And dont think for a moment everything goes through the books.
Regarding the barber shops, why is it that we all know exactly what they're up to, but HMRC, the Police and the authorities in general leave them well alone to continue their nefarious activities?
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.
more often than not, they got a stake in the business. They pay like £150/day for "a seat" and keep any payment to themselves
And Kay burley doesn’t understand a word of it 😂
Plenty of Turkish barbers not complaining……………. Britainia waives the rules.
I had a barbershop run by greeks in my area for nearly 40 years. It had to eventually shut due to competition from Afghan/Turk,/Pakistani . There are now 5 in it's place with no improvement in quality or price. Nearly every shop is now either a grocery store or a hairdressers. I'm struggling to see the benefits that the eliites keep telling us there are .
Where do they find these guys lol
Drama school
He's in for a bigger suprise has will labour voters the Tories capped council tax. To stop councils hiking up council tax. Labour are getting rid of that cap. So councils if they want can hike up council tax. 15 percent and every year they can hike up council tax to what ever they feel
the national minimum wage has become the maximum wage!
Fellow hairdresser here shocking it’s a struggle
What a joke with the pretend tears. Pathetic
As a short term fix just sack one member of staff. Then look at costs, business rates etc. It may be better to make all staff self employed where they provide all their tools and materials. He just rents out a seat and lit/heated premises. No employment so no NI or wages. The former employees may end up on less than minimum wage but that would be legal. They would just have to work faster or try and charge more.
According to Labour believers this guy isn't a working person. Well done
Why doesn’t the government or hmrc look at all the Turkish barbers
Love how all these businesses are crying and they still pay lower tax when compared to the eu
Yeah well our tax is being used to fill economic sinkholes in a way that say, the Finn's taxes aren't.
Very true! They are just annoyed because this will mean less profits than what they are used to
@@JointAccount-yp3nb an economic sinkholes is a funny way of saying public services. But we need to spend, the place is falling apart. Schools, are a shambles, the NHS is on its knees (Thats more to do with keeping doctors a privileged position, rather than turning it into a trade.) and businesses have got away with it for too long. Like fixing potholes is a good use of this money.
@@sabrinazabier9641 Or more because the more money people have the more they spend. But its not trendy to want your customers to have money.
The EU has much higher unemployment & the majority of businesses work cash in hand.
Stop taking card payments like the dodgy cash ones. Stop declaring it like they do.
This is the trouble when the politicians have never owned a business. Shameful.
Owned... none of them have even worked in one. We have a business secretary who has zero days of business experience in his entire life.

This tax hike makes me 51% a slave.
lets have a look at his house and car ,,blesssssssssssssssss
I own a small business and yes I will certainly be affected by this budget but it's certainly not enough to put me out of business. I pay my staff above minimum wage already but the wage increase they get next year will be slightly less. So it will hit my workers as well. I understand services need to be paid for and I want fir, healthy, educated people working with me so if my business needs to pay more then so be it. I've built a business strong enough to take it
I cut my own hair at home with clippers.
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.
Now I'm not so unhappy about going bald! 😂
only small shops will be affected by minimum wage, not likes of tesco asda morrisons who earn 100 million or more.
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
who owns Sky?
I wonder why so many Turkish or Kurdish barbers don't take cards ??
"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
He will still have rent, rates and energy bills to pay among other things. . It`s not as easy as people think to run your own small business.
Yep. Self employment. I have left a 61k salary in education to become self employed. I had over 50% deductions so i couldnt afford to live basically with the cost of living rises and contributions and student depts. Now ill never go back. Loads of sepf employed work out as everyone abandons employment and public sector. Now i can reduce my outgoings and work 30hrs a week instead of 70+
Yeah and all barbers are cash only 😂
No, they’re not.
@ apologies 75% are
Put your prices up and make your staff self employed.
People won’t pay. There’s a ceiling even in the most expensive areas.
Ni will cost 600 pounds per staff per year just on the ni starting level now 5000 and not 9500. Plus the increase.10 staff = 7000 plus per year.
Love how most the commenters here clearly have no idea how to run a business and the impact this is going to have... Salons charge the prices they do because they're the professionals and actually... they've been forced to raise their prices for years to cope. This really is going to ruin peoples lives, because (as he mentions) business owners aren't going to be able to pay themselves in order to cover their staff and day-to-day business costs. PS. I'm not even a hairdresser, I just understand and appreciate the knock-on effect this will have. PPS. A salon hiring and supporting hairdressers is not a barbers.
It’s not a level playing field either. There are cash in hand businesses who declare nothing to the tax man, pay no rent, business rates & go bankrupt regularly.
There's more Turkish barbershop more empty shops made into kebab shops and none English food shops while English run shops are closing because the council are greedy with there rents unless your not a British citizen 😮
