Told the stylist I was going to a wedding in two days and the haircut was simply to keep the style I had but cut it back a couple of inches. But to make sure I looked acceptable for a wedding! As I walked up to the chair a six year old boy left the same station with one of the most dreadful haircuts I’d seen in years, basically a single size buzzer to the back and sides with a mop placed on top. (She used spray can hair color for him, leaving the air full of disgusting aerosols) I was instantly worried. The easy part of my cut was the buzzer to my beard and the back of my head... it proved too difficult for the stylist, leaving an obvious uneven finish on both. Moving up to my simple cut, I expressed my expectations with today’s haircut relatively clearly. The stylist seemed to forget everything after learning how long my hair USED to be, exclaiming that I “must be experimenting with my hair now”.
The blunt cut I eventually left with was incredibly uneven, too chunky on the top at the back. Looks terrible and honestly looks like the stylist didn’t even bother to cut parts of the top, telling me she was using the bent scissors to cut the layers in. She literally ruined the layers already present and only succeeded in making a very good layered cut from a Seattle barber look like a trashy “great clips” cut that pretends to layer but is really just taking your top layer and cutting it so jagged and uneven that you can’t make out any layers at all. Did I mention she exclaimed I looked good as she claimed we were “done”, When another fifteen minutes of work was clearly left to complete the haircut. I looked like the six year old boy who left thirty minutes before only, with a lopsided beard and a peakcock on my head. If you want a better haircut, go to great clips and save yourself $40. Did I mention the stylist didn’t support my head as she buzzed my beard? I don’t mind holding my own body upright, but instead she asked me to slouch in the chair, lean back and pushed down on my head. I care about my spinal health, while she seemed to know nothing of the cervical pressure she was applying to her paying customer, leaving me with likely another $40 short for a visit to the chiropractor. Don’t waste your time here.
