I really wanted this to be the place but it was far from it. My hair was just ok. Blending on the…read moresides was awful. She shortened the front of my hair too much so the front was shorter than the rest. Unfortunately this did not work out for me. Luckily today I found a hair lady that cut my hair very well and fixed the issues with the uneven blending and uneven hair altogether. I spent $70 on a cut that was not very good at all. After 2 weeks my hair looked even worse. Usually if it is a good cut, about this time it shows it's a good cut. Oh well. It is what it is. PS do not contact me over this - I did not like the cut, it was uneven and not done well. thx! - Response Also I did not micromanage anything, she asked questions, I answered them. No contradictions to anything, this is a fabrication. Not sure what I could contradict? I asked for this and that and let her cut away. We talked, we didn't talk, typical haircut stuff folks. I just felt it was not a good one that is all. I even texted her asking her to fix it. Her response was "Yes I can fix it if there's some sort of mistake. Can you tell me what's wrong?" I told her, "Blending on one side is not great and longer. It's Ok for now. I will live with it until next cut." Never heard back. Not a sorry, not a hey come in anyway, I will fix it. Nada! I opted to leave it alone and move on. I guess she only wants 5 stars every time. Unfortunately I can say without a doubt this cut was not great, my wife even commented it was not. One side was not blended well at all, there was a clear line down the side of my head, front was cut too short compared to the rest. What can I say other than I was not happy with it. That has nothing to do with me allegedly micromanaging her, she was quite assertive in what she thought I should do with my hair. She thought I should push my hair forward which is not how I wear it. She cut it. All I asked for was an even cut, simple level 3 clipping on sides and back blending up nicely. That's it. Nothing else was involved. Dani's response is not accurate at all and is more of a response for passing blame which is much easier.

Kinda a guy review, but I hope everyone reads and has similar thoughts and feelings. So this…read morehaircut thing started yesterday when I went to my normal barber because it's a good cut at an ok price. I know I get cheap sometimes, and this was one. So I walk in and there is a line of 6 people waiting on four full chairs. No thx! Go to option 2 in Encinitas. 2 chairs, 4 people waiting.... No. Like WAY no! So I call Kris at South Carlsbad Barbers and thought to myself "you get what you pay for.. " I made an appointment for 3pm in a beautiful building with other stylist types and nail salons. All very clean and professional. Need a code to get in. She meets me and gives me exactly the cut I wanted and needed. No waiting, no screaming (Encinitas...) and yes it's a bit more but I learned a valuable lesson that my time is worth more than hoping I get a chair for less. End of story. Happy haircut, happy life!

I've always gone to a local corner cheap haircut place, getting the random barber or stylist. With…read moremy daughter getting married, I thought I should get a haircut that looks better. I'm not sure what style I wanted, so I let my hair grow for 3 plus months with plans of going to Hammer and Nails. I met Mike, the owner, at an event at his place. I was impressed with the concept of a place focused on guys and doing it with style and quality. Fast forward 4 months later, it was the first time I spent over $25 bucks on a haircut. Also, my wife convinced me to get a pedicure that I never had before. My hair stylist was Roya. She knew exactly what to do with my hair. I was very pleased with Roya and the entire experience. In fact, I already booked my next haircut with Roya. The pedicure was good also. Having your feet and legs massaged was a cool experience. This is a great place for guys to get a great haircut, watch sports, and have a beer. I Highly recommend checking it out if you're looking for a new grooming place for guys. You won't be disappointed!

This review is not for the haircut (I go to Alicia and she always does a great job) but for the…read morebooking process. I made an appointment a 6:00 PM appointment for yesterday, to see Alicia before she leaves on a trip. I went through the website, chose my time, selected my stylist, doubled checked everything, and hit confirm/send/whatever button finalizes the transaction. An email confirming this arrived soon after. I put it in my calendar. All done, right? Apparently not. After driving 30 min to get here I was informed I did not have an appointment. I explained exactly what I did and was then gobsmacked to hear that after I book an appointment online the email I got has a code in it that I then need to enter online in order to REALLY confirm the time slot. Then, after that's done you apparently get 2 more confirmations before your appointment. You'd think this is scheduling surgery or something. This has got to be the most inane, idiotic approach to scheduling I have ever seen. Everywhere else on the planet, when you hit CONFIRM, that's that. You're in. Why am I, the customer, who made an appointment, being asked to do so much work just to keep it? But what if I don't show up, you're asking? H&N has my CC on file, so if the policy is you get charged if you don't show up, and I've acknowledged that somewhere on their site or by simply booking the appt, then that's on ME. Luckily, Alicia was able to get me in after first agreeing the stay late, but then her last appt canceled so I got in sooner. But if I had driven all that way just to be told my appt I definitely booked wasn't going to happen for a WEEK... this review would've had a harsher tone. I'm not jumping through a series of hoops to keep an appt I made and if that's going to be the policy here in perpetuity then I'll spend my money elsewhere.
