| - I was in a hurry and stopped in VIP Barber Shop while my wife shopped at the nearby Sprouts store. I was happy to have a short wait. I noticed the pricing was posted on the wall, starting with $20 for a cut.
I was a little shocked upon walking in and seeing seated in the chair nearest the door a very hairy man with no shirt and no smock, getting his hair cut. I have never seen this before... At least not at a commercial barber shop. I looked around quickly, wondering if I had mistakenly stumbled into some other type of business, but noticed everyone else was appropriately dressed. I sat down in an available seat and began getting my haircut. The barber did listen and actually gave a pretty good haircut, including a neck shave. At the counter, he charged me $25 rather than the posted $20 (maybe I automatically received an upgrade service without my knowledge)? I was still a bit shocked as the shirtless man was now behind me and was in a rush to meet up with my wife as she had finished shopping that I simply paid the bill along with tip rather than discussing the price. Upon arriving home I noticed my face, ears, and neck were still covered in freshly and finely cut hair. Even the inexpensive strip mall chain barber shops do a better job at removing the unwanted hair timings from around my head.
A few suggestions to the business... Maybe all customers should keep their shirts on, charge what is posted unless otherwise discussed, and invest in a brush to sweep away the cut and unwanted hair from the customers face, neck, collar, and ears. Maybe my expectations may seem high, but for $25 I expect a little effort in cleaning me up.
