Wait what was that crawling on the floor...?…read more
Scheduling a cut is difficult based off my schedule and any barbers' schedule. Sometimes you feel like you gotta take a day off to match up with someone and when you do all you can do is hope for the best if its a new barber to you... We'll, I hoped for it and...it wasn't. I am not going to specifically point out this guy, but he would know a step up if he wants to do the right thing. Had an appointment at 11AM, got there about 10:50 about 11 the other barbers there said he was running late, he popped up at 11:20. I sit down after I was called over. He asked me what I wanted. I explained the sides and the back very basic low mid skin fade, do not want the crown to flare out and leave the top alone, do not touch the top or front(bangs)....I got a nod.
As I was sitting there just scanning around, I was hearing a secondary sound and was trying to figure out where that was coming from, took me a bit... as I was scanning, outbthe corner of my eye I thought I saw something move, scanned some more. I did see something! What was that? I focused and realized it was hair balls, not deez either... It had obviously been a while since someone cleaned the floor and with all the empty space (going for the not quite moved in look), there were human hair balls moving around the floor with every breeze. Someone just grab a broom! C'mon..
Back to the cut. Out of nowhere he got haircut turrets, 10 minutes into it, "You said skin fade right?" "How long was it before?" I said yah, but was thinking, what do you mean before? Did he swap out with his twin while I was scanning and he didn't see me when I sat down...I mean he was standing behind the whole time and there is no mirrors on the opposite walls ...oh yah, BTW, great time to confirm after that par was already done! So, I think he is just balancing it out and maybe cleaning the tips on top. Next thing you know this blower hit the back of my head, felt like I was in one of those IG gag reels when you close your eye and the clean hose does some weird sh7t in a joke reel! Now I know how the hair balls were everywhere. Right after he does this weird sh7t, he runs a comb and i hear and feel "Clip!", what was that!? And where did that chunk of hair thay fell on my lap come from!?. Next, he sprays water and again going extra, combs my hair water dripping on my face...and he's done. Asks me how am I gonna pay and gave me a random number $47 ...why not $45 or $50...$47? Ok, he said thats how much he gets charge bonuses and app for payment. I said cash, so no app and maybe the price changes? Nope! $47 SMH, gave him $10 tip on top of that. BTW, the secondary noise I kept hearing, this dude wore both his airpods the whole time, probably some sort of youtube haircut training video, or maybe some court appointed discussion group for people that should not use scissors, not even those rounded ones from kindergarten.
As for the chunk of hair that fell into my lap, I now have bangs that look like a 4 year old got ahold of the cat with some scissors to begin their haircut training for barber preschool...
Look, I know other people who go there and they seem to have good experiences, but no one who goes to this guy has ever spoke up...I just happened to get lucky. Needless to say, I won't be back to this guy, possibly one of the others I hear good things about, but won't be taking any days off to schedule it!
