"At Madina, when I pay GH¢10, I even take a balance, here I paid $30 and added $10 as a tip," he lamented.

He concluded by saying that he regrets not learning how to trim hair before relocating to America.

"If you look at this hairstyle, I am very pained that the barber charged me $40 for it. I should have learnt barbering before coming here because these small boys are making a lot of money," he added.

At the time of writing this article, the video had gathered over 2,000 likes and 50 comments.
