| - I've been here twice. Being very convenient to my home, and not being very familiar with other places in the area, I figured I'd give them a shot.
My haircut is not complicated at all - just a basic finger-length trim with some clipper clean-up.
The first visit I received a very good cut by a very pleasant stylist (unfortunately I do not remember her name). Not a bad wait, and the price can't be beat, so I figured I'd go back.
Big mistake.
My second stylist, whom I will just call STP (and also bears a passing resemblance to Jimmy Fallon), left much to be desired. The alarms should have been raised when it took him 30 minutes to perform what seemed to be a simple buzz cut on the customer in front of me.
My cut typically takes about 15 minutes - 20 tops. But ol' STP had me in his chair for about an hour. (The other stylist on duty finished almost 2 cuts during this time). Maybe he's new, but I honestly don't think he knew the correct technique. By the time I realized things weren't going well, it was too late - I couldn't ask him to hurry because I didn't want to walk out looking like Moe from the Three Stooges. I had to sit and wait it out.
It was about this time that I experienced a barber shop first - I got snipped on the ear. Bad enough that blood dripped onto the gown and I had to reach for those tissue-things to stem the flow. STP was very apologetic, of course.
In the end, the haircut was passable enough - but competent stylists do much better in a third of the time.
I won't be returning to this, or any other, Supercuts location. "You get what you pay for" has never been more true to me. I will find a proper salon/stylist from now on, even if it means paying a little extra.
I won't invoke the "zero stars" comment, because the 1st girl I had was worth one star.
