| - After a very stressful day I went to the barber for a relaxing shave. I love the hot towels, the pre-shave oil and the hot lather. The short, definite, confident strokes of a barbers straight blade moving across my face is great. I find it all very relaxing.
But, I found nothing relaxing about this barber shop. When I walked in, the music was very loud latin music. It reminded me of music you hear at a night club.
The towels felt more warm than hot. When I mentioned the towels weren't hot, she argued they were hot!! I'm not sure, but I think the towel might have been hot. I think she pulled it out of the hot box and ran it under hot water. The hot water isn't nearly as hot as the towel when it comes out of the hot box, so it actually would cool the towel. Not positive if that is what happened, but the towel should have been much hotter and the barber should not have argued with me.
The barber was a very young woman. She took no care in applying the pre-shave oil. She did not slap it on, but I doubt I would have noticed too much of a difference if she had slapped it on. There was a quickness that felt rushed.
Now the worst part....the blade across my face HURT!!!!! It hurt a LOT!!!! I made her stop. I just couldn't take it. I left with only a 1/4 of my face shaved. There was nothing relaxing about this shop, barber or shave.
I normally go to the Arrowhead area to V's Barbershop. I will stay with V's!!!
