I loved my haircut from a Hispanic man working there on 7/25/11. I asked him to cut my hair a certain length, and he suggested that it would be too short. He cut my hair longer than I asked and told me he would cut it shorter afterwards if I wished. He was very professional, cutting my hair with care, and he had a good vibe.
HOWEVER,
I left this place feeling angry. I am an international student and their billboard said Students: Mon-Wed cost 9 pounds. It had an asterisk that said a Cambridge ID was required. When I went to pay, I asked for the student price and the other employee at the register (Blond hair, blue eyes) said that it was not for international students. I guess my ID is a little different from resident students. He was persistent and even went on to say it was for Masters and Ph.D students only! That is the biggest bullshit I have ever heard.
My student ID is officially from Cambridge.
I am enrolled and being taught from the school -- officially.
Just because I am an international student that is here for 2 months (meaning I would need 2 haircuts) does not entitle me to the student discount? Kiss my ass guy.
I get a student discount at the train and the movies with this ID.
I payed the amount he asked for, and even tipped because I liked my barber. I feel ripped off and lied to. The Men's Hair Salon just down the street would respect my Student ID. read more
