I came in asking for help after cutting my own hair. Marco hacked it worse. Even another location saw and commented on the lack of technique used. Unfortunately because of the POS system he got a $10 tip (my mistake)
Pretty sure he is a barber.
Lesson learned.

I just had the worst experience of my life in a hair cutting place with my 12-year-old son..! @ Great Clips @ Lower Westfield Rd in Holyoke.
When I walked in a younger girl was cutting a little boy's hair. Maybe around 4 years old. He was having the worst time. I was grateful when another 'haor cutter 'walked out and said that she would take my son because we had registered online already. When the lady started she was very distracted. She seemed to be kind of wobbly on her feet but I know she has leg issues so I was attributing it to that (Crossing my fingers). She started to shave the bottom with a #2 blade after my son had asked for a fade starting at a #4 a four. I. He wanted to fade starting at a 4:00. After she did the general shave of the bottom and started to cut the top, it was very uneven. She sprayed something only on some parts and just clipped away, totally uneven. When she started trimming the sides. I could hear her change the level on the machine and she was going all sorts of ways. I got closer when she started to do the line at the neck area to make sure she was ok and she started well on one side. But when she went to the other side I don't know what happened!! She was looking at it.. I honestly think she was intoxicated. She should not be cutting hair!! We've been there before and it's always hit or miss. Several times he's had a bad haircut. I don't know why we keep coming back (not anymore though, ever) I guess because it's the closest one we have, but this time it went too far. I told her to stop and I took my son out of the chair. She said she could fix it. I said no. She said the other girl could fix it and I told her I was leaving so I left.. this place is very unreliable but this experience sealed the deal. We are never going back there. Pictures are attached. I didn't take more pics because my son was crying.
