Ok. My son gets back into the car, we look up the
place on the internet and guess what? No website.
Ok. I tell my son to called the brotha to make the
appointment via the phone and he calls the shop.
Now, we're parked right outside dude's shop and I am
looking at him cut this other customer's hair. When
my son calls, I watch the barber stop cutting hair and
go pick up his phone. My son says, "I looked on the
web and did not see a website (cause there isn't one)
so, I'm calling to make an appointment. At 11a,
please." Barber says, great see you then and my son
hangs up the phone. I see the barber get off the
phone and return to his customer in the chair. By the
way, it's about 10:10a. Cool we go to a nearby coffee
shop then return to Platinum Cuts at 11.
leave my son there. I ask him how much Is the cut
going to cost? And that dude only takes cash. He
tells me he got $40.00 and I decide to get additional
cash in case there is $40 is not enough. When my son
is done and back in the car, I ask him how much was
the cut. My son told me $25 but dude did not have
change. Huh? Because my son only had two twenties,
dude to them both and told my son he had no change.
Ok. How you gone take ONLY cash but not have
change at the beginning of your work day? Further,
why did he tell my son to make an appointment
instead of just making the appointment in person. I
mean, dude stopped cutting hair to answer the phone
and right down the time my son requested. What?!
So my son went into the shop as a walk-in. Was told
to make an appointment. Comes back to the car to
make an appointment for less than an hour away.
Then, tells my son his business only deals in cash.
THEN, takes my son's money the whole $40 because
my son only has two twenties but Mr. Barber is
running a cash only business with no freaking
change. THEN, my son tells me he wanted more off
the top as he swept hair off of himself in the car.
I normally do not take the time to write a negative
review being that we're all just now coming out of
Covid isolation and people are just doing their best to
hold on. But Mr. Barber did my child dirty by taking
advantage of his advantage of his youth and making
him jump through hoops to get a cut that my son is
unhappy with and to be forced to tip this clown $15
because "I only deal in cash" has no damn change to
start the day. Probably taking that cash so he don't
have pay taxes on money that can't be tracked.
Trifling AF! I also promised my son that I would not
cuss this man out because Me. Barber "was nice."
You know how many thieves and shady business
owners smile in your face while taking you on an free
ride for suckers? Millions of business owners. Mr.
Barber is no different. What a tool!
Platinum Cuts and Salon Seattle is B.S. This Black
own business treated my son who is also Black like
boo boo. Just cause he could. But life lessons
learned for my son and I will tell any community
member to leave this clown alone.
Plus this place is filthy. Not like filthy as in "cool." Filthy as in dust dirty counters using same scissors without sanitizing them. Yuck! read more
