Did Park Slope Barbershop raise prices or rip me off?

I went there Saturday early afternoon and after getting a typical haircut the guy says $20. At first I thought he was joking, but no. I said the hair cut was $14 a month ago and he mumbled something about it going up a couple of bucks and I had a lot of hair!
What the hell was that? I was there about a month ago and had the same haircut but he insisted the amount of hair he cut off did not grow in a month.
I believe he just ripped me off!
Did they raise their hair cuts to $20?

So in summation, screw them.

    I think they charge more for "long hair." It's posted on the wall, but there's no clear definition of what that is. I think basically that if they're not getting a cut a month out of you, they want to charge more to make up for it. Luckily I get mine short enough when I go that even though I'm not there every month, it's still way too short for them to get away with charging me the "long hair" price.

    Thanks for the reply.

    There was no way I had long hair.

    So he ripped me off. Sonofabitch.

    Now I need another barber.

    I've had my haircut price vary between $15-20. Same amount of hair. I think Carnivore is correct about getting charged more if you come in infrequently.

    In summation, most places in the slope will cost you $50. are you really that bent over 6 bucks?

    They don't even give good haircuts there anyway. I go to that salon place on 5th around 3rd street. its like $18 but you get an amazing shampoo/head massage with it!
