Transcript

And I ain't mad at JCPenney and Ulta for stealing y'all customers. You know, especially out here in Atlanta, y'all girls that be doing these hair and all that stuff, y'all swear y'all celebrities, y'all charging the utmost prices for no reason, then your customer service and stuff be bad, then you want to send all these hey boo texts that everybody be talking about that you be sending and canceling at the last minute. You know, so I'm not mad at, you know, the women for going to JCPenney and Ulta, because quiet as it's kept, when they get some barbers in JCPenney and Ulta, I'm going there too. Because these barbers in Atlanta, they charge $40, $50 just to trim my beard up. I'm bald headed, I ain't even got no hair for you to cut, but $40, $50 for a beard, that's crazy. Now, the stylists at JCPenney and Ulta, they don't really know their worth because they do a blowout for $50 and you only get 10 of that dollars while JCPenney keep the other $40. That's kind of a rip off, but hey, if it's going to save the people money, go to JCPenney and Ulta and get your stuff done.
