Quite possibly the worst haircut I have ever received in my entire life.
I had high hopes for George because of all the 5-star reviews on here and I live nearby so I wanted to give it a shot. I told him what I wanted, short on the sides and back and a bit longer on the front. A very simple hairstyle, something like a crew cut but with longer hair on the top. He said "ok no problem at all" which was reassuring at the time.
However, during the entire haircut, he was preoccupied with another customer that was in the waiting area and spent more time talking to and facing her than he was focusing on my hair. Apparently maintaining conversation with a customer in the waiting area is more important than the customer that's in the barber's chair. He also rushed through my haircut in less than 10 minutes. In my opinion, no haircut should take less than 10 minutes unless it's a quick trim but that's not what I was getting.
He showed me the final product and I told him I wanted a few things changed but he said he'd rather not do it because it "wouldn't look good on me" apparently. I trusted him at the time but since then, I have been getting comments from friends, family, and coworkers that my haircut looks awful.
What's even worse is the hairstyle won't just grow out after a couple weeks because the hair in the front is medium length so I'm stuck with this ugly look for at least a month or two.
The only reason why I'm giving a 2-star instead of a 1-star is because he was very friendly and the price of the haircut was very cheap ($15 + tip).
I am a forgiving person and I believe in second chances so I might come back in a month or two and give it another shot but perhaps this time I will have to give very specific instructions and be assertive with what I want. If it ends up this bad again, I will truly never come back.
