Complaint 1: Poor Customer Service at Charlottenburg Branch…read more
I recently had my second haircut with Motoki, but unfortunately, it was disappointing. I was explaining how I wanted my haircut, but he insisted on cutting it his way. I even mentioned that no matter how good his cut was, it wouldn't matter if it wasn't what I asked for. His facial expressions were unprofessional and dismissive.
At one point, he went to the reception and brought another staff member. While I was talking to this person, Motoki suddenly tried to stop me from speaking. When I questioned why he brought him if he didn't want me to talk, he denied bringing him in the first place, which was confusing and unprofessional.
Additionally, when I tried to show him which clipper length I wanted, he warned me in a rude manner not to touch his machine. The overall customer service was extremely poor, and I felt uncomfortable throughout the experience.
Complaint 2: Booking Mismanagement at Prenzlauer Branch
On another occasion, I mistakenly booked an appointment at the wrong branch and went to the Prenzlauer location. The receptionist acknowledged my mistake but kindly offered to reschedule me for an available slot 45 minutes later. I appreciated this and agreed to wait.
During that time, I saw a barber I had previously gotten a haircut from and liked. I requested to have my haircut with him, and both the receptionist and the barber agreed. However, when my turn came, I was suddenly assigned to someone else. When I questioned this, I was told that the barber was now busy because another appointment had been booked online. This was frustrating because I was initially told I could have my haircut with him.
The receptionist's attitude during this interaction was dismissive and rude. His facial expressions and tone made me feel like he was saying, "Just shut up and get your haircut; I already helped you." This kind of treatment is unacceptable, especially for a loyal customer.
Final Thoughts
You can check my customer history--I am new in Germany and have been coming to your barbershop every two weeks since I arrived. However, these negative experiences, from the receptionists to the barbers, have made me feel unwelcome. This is not how customers should be treated.
I am deeply disappointed and, as a result, I have decided not to return to your barbershop. However, if you address these issues and improve customer service, I may reconsider in the future.
I hope you take this feedback seriously and work on providing a better experience for your customers.
Best regards,
