This was my first time going to Vs Barbershop. I just moved to Arizona less than a month ago and needed to find a place to get my haircut. I was ideally looking for a go-to barber/salon that I could turn in to my regular go-to spot. A coworker recommended Vs so I called and made an appointment. The guy on the phone was super nice and said my appointment would be with Manny. I was pumped because I've read a lot of Yelp reviews that mention Manny and say how great he is.
When I arrived to the shop it was relatively crowded but there were still plenty of seats to wait in. The shop itself was super clean and had that throwback feel of an old-school barber shop (see pics). I went to the desk and checked in roughly six minutes early for my 1pm appointment and was told my haircut would be with David. I was confused as I had been told before it would be with Manny, Not a big deal, just unexpected.
I waited until almost 1:20pm (20 minutes after my appointment). Normally I wouldn't care too much but I was here on a lunch break from work. I was very close to leaving when David came up and said "who's next?" I figured he would come back and ask for me by name but he just asked "who's next?" A guy next to me said "I'm not sure if it's me but I'll go." I had to interrupt and tell them that I had had a 1pm appointment. David went to check the computer and confirmed that I was next. Not a very easy way to get into the chair, but I finally made it!
From that point on it was smooth sailing. David was a good guy and did a great job with my haircut. The hot towel, traditional neck shave and neck massage was a nice touch. I'll certainly go back to Vs but would just hope it's a but smoother getting into the chair.
