I showed him a picture of what I want the haircut was nothing even remotely close to what I asked for, the worst part is I asked for an inch and a half off the front max just barely getting it off my eyebrows and he took off my entire front. Attached is a reference photo vs what he actually gave me. Genuinely tragic.

When you give a bad hair cut and I don't tip you and you proceed to say I can't stand him as I leave you probably shouldn't work here. I tip 100% to people that cut my hair ask your coworkers but I will not be coming back.
