I showed up with my older cousin trying to get a hair cut. We were running late coming from Tahoe but called the salon ahead to let them know. They informed us to hurry over to see if we could still make it with enough time to go threw with the appointment. When we showed up, I ran inside only 8 minutes late. The barber "Richie" then informed us we were too late and that he would not see me. I began rescheduling with lela while my cousin talked with Richie. Riche then asked my cousin if he would like to "step out" to handle things. Sketchy as this sounded we left trying not to make a scene. Richie kicked us out then followed my cousin into the road and threatened to punch him in the face. Most of the staff followed us outside to watch instead of trying to calm their barber.
BY FAR THIS WAS THE WORST EXPERIENCE WITH AN "INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR STYLIST." Wasting 3 hrs. of our time was enough. . .we really didnt need to be chased out to our car by Oakland's angriest Santa Claus.
The owner has blatantly lied by stating I was 17 minutes late, I was 8 minutes late. . .and I can prove it. Plus, they knew I was coming from Tahoe. I guess I'm not surprised they are willing to lie to protect their reputation.
