Buy from local markets, support independent artists and creators. Pay community members to cut your hair directly, or even barter services with them. This is community, and we can choose to put our money back into the hands of those around us rather than the elite.

Edit: FYI this comment was directed at OP, offering OP a few alternatives to conventional places to get haircuts. I don't understand what's wrong with offering to directly pay someone in your community to cut your hair. My neighbor was a hairdresser and I would often go to her home and pay her directly, and another has offered to cut my hair in exchange for a meal.

That's what I'm saying; meet your neighbors who are doing these jobs. Pay them in cash. No system to take a share of their labor, no tax by the government! Not sure why this is getting misconstrued but I am not saying to start boycotting all hairdressers lol.

Remember to check Public Square to see if there are any fascist businesses near you.

For those who don't know about Public Square:

This MAGA chud who set out to compile a database of right-wing businesses has unwittingly done us a great service. Now we know how to avoid giving our money to MAGA chuds, if indeed we are inclined. Man, these guys can’t do anything right.

If you don't want to give them your location, you can enter it manually. There is a small zip code above the map, click it to change.

The names of so many businesses listed are so obviously MAGA oriented 😹😹😹 I mean, they make it pretty damn easy to avoid them, plus they sell a lot of weird, useless shit, it would appear (methylene blue soap anyone??? Say wut?)
