1. barbers. i get pretty basic haircuts and the barbers in the hood are great. i get a lot more attention to detail for my twelve bucks than i would at some place in a strip mall. if you are the salon-going type disregard this i guess, but for those of us who don't carry man-purses, going to barbershops where you are the only white person in the room is generally +EV, especially for beard trimming.

You can definitely get this quality of service in small town America. Lots of small town barbers will give you a solid haircut, a shave w/ a straight razor and warm foam, and all for $10. Then they'll look at you funny if you give them a tip.
