| - Just horrible. I went here for a simple hair cut: 3 on top, 1 on the sides. I've had that style hundreds of times and rarely have I had a little problem with my hair cut, but this took the cake.
This was my first time going to this barber shop and little did I know what awaited me. I walked in and took a seat; there were 3 barbers there, one was busy giving a cut, the youngest one was busy organizing his work space, and the third one was sitting on his @@@ playing video games. And who called me to his chair? The one not doing anything constructive playing video games? No. The real young one. He looked to be fresh out of high school and as I sat down I thought how interesting it was that I had never had a cut from someone younger than me and how much of a barber prodigy this kid must be if he's already licenced to give hair cuts (little did I know). Assuming that he was simply a young licensed barber was a mistake.
He didn't even know how to work the powdered brush! He took the brush and barely, half-heartedly tapped only the tip of my nose. I had already closed my eyes with anticipation that he would brush off my whole face. A few seconds after I felt a little tap of the brush on my nose I quizzically opened my eyes thinking...um, OK. At that point I wasn't facing any mirrior and I couldn't see, but when he turned me toward one, I had so much hair on my face I looked like freaking Chewbacca! It was only then that he took an air hose to my face. Whatever happened to the little brush? He obviously realized he doesn't know how to use one. A few minutes later he poked me in the eye with his pinky! It was just a light tap, but it was the first time I had ever gotten poked in the eye while getting a hair cut. I could tell by his facial expression that he realized what had happened, and he didn't even apologize. The hair cut itself....oh boy. Since I was in kind of a hurry and still assuming he was a barber child prodigy who simply had issues with using a brush, I didn't see anything wrong with my hair when he held the mirror up for a second for me to see.
When I got home I discovered the truth. The kid used some sort of clip that makes your hair look more thinned out, almost as if you were going bald. I did not request for him to cut my hair like this. During lunch even my buddy said "I can see your head", at the moment I just assumed it was another way for him to say "oh cool, you got a haircut". Not only did I get an eye poked and was already aging and losing my hair, but the sides of my head weren't just a 1 like I requested, there were patches of 1, 1 and 1/2, 2, and everything in between. Apart from my hair looking thinned out, it was uneven! My assumption about that young barber was wrong.
He doesn't know how to give a simple cut. I didn't even ask for a fade or line up. I just wonder what would have happened If I had requested both. Crooked line....instead of a fade it would of been a complete shave. If he doesn't know how to give a hair cut, what is he doing there? It's obvious he's not licenced. From what I know, if you are a *trained* barber who is waiting for his license to arrive you can give haircuts at a barber shop, but *cannot* charge a penny for it; its not permitted. I don't know how many ginnie pig's haircuts he's experimented on, but I hope that someone that got a bad cut and noticed the crap job he did before leaving the chair, complained. It's safe to say I'll never go there again. Tip? Tip my @@@.......I was in a hurry and forgot to tip anyway; good thing I didn't.
