I have never been to a barber shop like this one - where one hairstyle fits all!
If you are looking to get an assembly line approach of a "taper/fade and a line-up" only, then this is the place for you. I should have known as soon as I arrived, since everyone that was waiting were requesting about the same style for their hair. The place does get really full with clients, where waiting an hour for a haircut is common. For the most part, the majority of their clients are teens, and is easy to see why when Jordan High School is next door.
Nonetheless, my experience here was horrible. As a professional, a "taper/fade and a line-up" doesn't cut it for me in my line of work. I explained to the barber exactly what I wanted, and even at that, I felt rush to say what I wanted. In the end, I got a "taper and a line-up" haircut - not surprised. Obviously, this is not what I wanted, and the barber seemed bothered to make changes. Reluctantly, the barber abide to my request of change.
However, I believe in second opportunities. Thus, I went back again this time equipped with a picture of exactly what I wanted. The idea was to go in, show the picture, and get exactly what I wanted - easy right? Guess again! Wow, I walked away with an EXTREME bowl cut haircut- SUPER FAR OFF WHAT I WANTED. There was no way of fixing the bowl cut, but to let it grow.
But wait, it doesn't end. I told my brother to avoid this location, but his stubborn self, ended up still going. He came back really upset, and not surprised with a "fade and a line-up" lol. My brother was upset that he did not get the haircut he wanted, which he claims to have fully disclosed to the barber. Nonetheless, there was another surprise my brother was not aware of, until he walked away from me.
The guy that cut my brothers hair left a huge patch on the back of his head and did not disclosed the mistake to his client. Instead, the barber angled the mirrors to camouflage his error. The patch at the back of his head, hair would refuse to grow even after two months of getting his haircut, and is later discover to have contracted fungus from the dirty clippers the barber used. My brother is currently working on fixing the issue, and is thinking of suing the barber if he does not cover medical cost - lucky for my brother, I work in the law field :)
Anyway, my experience was not as bad as my brother, since my hair can grow back.
Please check the picture of my brother's patch after two months of receiving his haircut. Sucks to be him, because people seem to laugh when they are behind him - I am guilty of laughing too lol. read more
