You are right to worry. Barbershops were a major source of Hep C in Egypt
What?! This is seriously something I never considered.

The whole point of being licensed is to prevent this type of thing. Call the health dept . Call the state board
Figure it out and make the call. Your kid isn’t the only one who can get hurt from this.
Also : alcohol isn’t enough. They should be using barbicide and soaking tools, guards… etc.
+100. This place seems sketchy. Why on earth is your son going there?
In 30 years of having my husband and sons get haircuts, they have only been nicked once or twice.
How is anyone getting nicked at all? I cut my husband's hair and there are guard clips of different lengths for the razor. Even without the guard clip, I really don't think I could nick him if I tried.

What on earth is going through your sons head that he thinks it is ok to be bleeding after a haircut? Is he hurting for money? Does he feel bad for the place? Was he told to “suck it up” when he got hurt growing up? I really do not get someone thinking it’s fine if a barber cuts him on a regular basis?
,Abe buy him a gift card to a good place?

Woah- I never thought about this before. I've never seen my son or dh with blood scrapes though.

This would bother me too! Above seems like a decent solution for now?

He's 18. Tell he's taking a risk and what the consequences are and that's that.

Are you willing to pay for him to go to a more expensive place?

Alcohol kills lots of germs but not all, and if the item is not sanitized first, you could miss some germs.

What’s the issue? An alcohol spritz doesn’t clean it?
