I had seen the sign for the shop for a long time so I decided to check it out. Turned out to be a black barber shop, and even though I'm not black, I decided to give it a try. If I got a good haircut, then I'd definitely come back. The barber was nice and so was the general atmosphere. After the haircut, however, much to my dismay, I looked in the mirror and it was a disaster. Literally the worst haircut of my life. I left and drove straight to another barbershop. I showed the new barber my hair disaster and he cringed, it was so bad. I asked him to do what he could to repair the damage. Of course he had to cut my hair quite short to make up for the butcher job at Martin's. After he'd finished, he wouldn't even charge me for the second haircut. Lesson learned: if you've got straight hair, don't get it cut at a place that serves just black men, where they don't have experience cutting straight "white" hair. Stick with a barbershop that caters to your hair type. Maybe they give good haircuts for guys with black hair at Martin's. But they haven't a clue about straight hair. read more
