| - This "grooming center" is an ok place. I have been there twice for their haircut special. $25 buys you a miller, hair-cut, hair wash with shampoo, and a neck rub. Which is sounds like a good deal, until you experience it. I made an appointment for 4:30, and got there exactly around 4:31PM, it took them 20 minutes to get me a seat.
I got my beer right after I set on the chair, which is very awkward if you think about it. You have your apron on the hair stylist is staring at you and your one hand has beer mug. It was even more awkward when the hair-stylist decided to give me some time to leave me alone to finish my beer. Imagine a grown man sitting there in that barber's chair with an apron sipping on a cheap beer, while the kid from the next seat over keeps looking at you. I understand that you want to drive men in by offering free beer, but damn who wants to be burpy when someone is cutting your hair. Also, I personally think miller is crap beer, so it didn't add to the grand "experience".
They really messed up my hair but just taking a clipper to the top, which was a miscommunication on both of our ends. I thought that the woman said clip my hair with scissors, and I didn't realize it until we had passed the point of no-return, that she said clipper. Although she did her best to make it look nice,I did look like a Franciscan monk half way through the procedure.
Shampoo and massage was good, but anyone can do that. When your main entree is bad, than no one comes back to your restaurant for condiments. Their service needs to improve alot, they are pretending to be old fashioned barber shop, but clearly pit-stop style hair cuts and crap beer won't achieve that. You can tell that barber don't care about best service. Just like many worker in America, they are there for a paycheck for shoddy performance.
$28 (w/ $3 tip) is not a good value for a Franciscan monk hair cut. I can buy a miller, use a clipper, shampoo my hair and use my neighbor's cat to run around my neck and back area for massage for less than $5.
On a bright side they specialize in hair cutting, not plastic surgery. (1/5)
