I should have listened to Bad L. My barber is out of town on vacation and I had to get a cut for an interview. Boss Barber came up in the area. Figured I'd give them a try. It's a dinky little shop located on the SE corner between the gym and the Shell station.
There were 8 stations and only 3 workers there with one of them chillin on his cell phone. Never a good sign. When I go to my barber all 5 stations are busy and customers are chillin on their cell not the barbers.
Anyway, the free barber puts away the phone and greets me right away (unlike Bad L.) He asks what I want and I tell him and he says "Yeah, I'm not good at fades. You better wait for one of these other two guys" I literally thought he was pulling my chain but he was for real. So I smiled and said no problem. But really being a barber and knowing how to hook up a simple fade is like being a chef and not knowing how to fry an egg. Hey at least hes honest. Better than getting a hack job.
Well...I still ended up getting a hack job. I asked the fade specialist guy for a low skin fade and he really really tried. It was like Michaelangelo chipping away at a rock with a chisel. He turned me this way, turned me that way. Used this clipper, that clipper. This gaurd, that guard. Looked at me from one angle then the next. Going over the same spot 20-30 times. I really applaud him for his efforts.
Unfortunately, it was bad. Real bad. I am sorry to say it cause he tried so hard but Great Clips could have done this one for 9 bucks less.
Oh well, you live and learn.
My hair will be back on my head, my barber will be back from vacation, but I will not be back to Boss Barber Deuce.
