| - OK, let me first start off by saying that I read the Yelp reviews of this barber shop prior to going, so I felt comfortable knowing that they were rated quite high. I usually get my hair cut at Universal Barber Shop in Mesa (off Stapley and the 60) by Dave, awesome dude and can cut hair like no other, but I was in a rush and needed something close to work before heading home.
HUGE mistake, maybe I went on a bad day, because the Russian guy who cut my hair didn't seem to give 2 flying fcks about cutting my hair and seemed more interested in getting me out of there.
I don't have high expectations, I just want a good, clean cut that is worth the money. When I first walked in, the barber (medium built Russian guy with stubble on his face) was still finishing up with another customer. The shop is fairly small with Mens magazines laying around (Playboy, Maxims, etc.)
Anyhow, I sit down in the chair and he asks me how I want my hair cut. I tell him that I want the sides to be 3.5, medium fade and just a little (1/4 inch) off the top. Not too hard right? I tell him I STYLE my hair sort of messy/ spiky.
The first thing the guy does is slams the clippers on my head and runs them ALL THE WAY up the side of my head! WTF! Seriously? Do you NOT understand what a medium fade is? The worse part is the clippers weren't oiled properly so they were snagging on my hair! I tell him, that is way too high, not that he can fix it any more, and he proceeds to "try" and fix it. It gets worse as it takes him 2 more swings of snagging my damn scalp to realize "hey maybe I should try changing clippers before I rip this guys hair out".
So now the fade is extremely high and I look like I just enlisted in the Marines (I was in the military for 6 years, so I know what it's like to have a "high and tight haircut"). The barber seems like he's more irritated than apologetic, and just rushes to finish the debacle that is my hair cut. The sides are uneven, I have to constantly show him spots that he is missing, pathetic that I can spot it sitting from a chair while the dude is staring at my head. He then slaps this 140 degree towel on my head that burns like hell, and puts a cheapo massage device on my shoulders for 15 seconds (as if that makes up for my screwed up haircut).
All in all, this place was terrible. I can't speak on behalf of other customers who have been here, hell, they might have had a great experience, maybe they got a different barber, who knows? All I know is this place wont be seeing me again, and if you guys value a good fade, avoid this place like the plague.
