I honestly don't know why the other reviews are so glowing. I got the worst haircut of my life here, and you probably will too. I've never left a yelp review before but felt compelled to share my experience here, and hopefully influence others. Please do yourself a favor and stay away from this place- if you care at all about how you look, YOU WILL REGRET COMING HERE!
Unbeknownst to me, everyone in this establishment primarily speaks Spanish. (This is troublesome as you will read below). I didn't know this until I sat down in the barber's chair- as everyone was speaking English when I walked in, and they welcomed me to sit in the barber's chair right away.
As a guy, my haircuts are nothing fancy. I just need it short on the side, a 4-5, and a little longer on top. The person cutting my hair seemed to not care, or be interested at all in giving me the hair style I asked him to cut. This was evident when his friends in the shop were watching YouTube videos and he would stop cutting my hair to go watch them. He would converse with his friends the whole time, and didn't once talk to me, making the entire experience one of the most awkward haircuts I've had.
Here's the coup de grâce: He took an hour- A WHOLE HOUR- to cut my hair! AN HOUR! I almost fell asleep. He would take one painstakingly slow, small cut after another, blow a hair dryer in my face, and switch between so many scissors and razors I venture to say he had no experience cutting hair before. He made the hair uneven all around by lifting my hair, and cutting at random- but just cut once each time.
To make matters worse, he kept cutting the right side of my head. He probably cut the right side of my head for 45 minutes out of the hour, making it shorter, and shorter. I asked him to stop cutting that side, and to cut my left side. HE DIDNT UNDERSTAND. He was so confused he called over his coworker. I explained to the coworker that he was cutting too much on one side and he needed to balance it out by cutting more on my left. The coworker ended up TRANSLATING what I told him, and my barber said "Ok, I got you", but then proceeded to continue to cut my right side further, then he stopped, looked at me and said "all good?". I had to explain to him three times. I was helpless as he would make up for this uneven side by using a razor instead of a scissor and dig it into the hair on that side until it looked even.
The haircut I ended up getting, which again I must stress TOOK AN HOUR, seemed to be a standard hair style they give to everyone. It wasn't what I asked for at all- rounded backside, no fade as I wanted, and a line for the front of your hair. One sideburn was egregiously longer than the other (I had to fix at home), and my hair was extremely uneven on the top. Furthermore, he would use a straight razor, and carve the edges of my hair, but he would literally shave off hair that otherwise would've just made my hair look fuller on the side. Feeling the back of my neck after the haircut ended revealed patchy bits of hair that he simply overlooked.
Please, please, go somewhere else! I'm never going back here and if I convince one other person to take their businesses elsewhere I will feel happy. They don't deserve to cut anyone's hair, and you deserve better. I'm going to another barber with my friend in a different town, one he's been going to for years, to fix all these mistakes.
Haircuts are $18. Think about that. If you care at all about your hair, and how you look, you will be happier and more satisfied somewhere else. I guarantee it. Never, ever come here. YOU WILL REGRET IT!
