I’ve been going to great clips for the last 10 years and have gotten the exact same haircut. I get maybe the simplest haircut of all time and it’s never been messed up. It usually takes 20-25 minutes so I figured I’d go in real quick so I look nice before my family Christmas party. This time the stylist must have been in a hurry because it took literally 6 minutes. At first, I was like damn this lady must be good that was fast as hell. She must be the LeBron James of haircuts, an absolute all star. Boy was I wrong. She might as well have been Stevie wonder. She brushed it down and I was shocked. The front of my hair had randomly short and long hairs like it was actively falling out. I mean I look like I have some sort of disease. On one side she cut it half as short as the other so it looks like my hairline is receding but just on one side. My little sister gave herself a better haircut when she was 4 and got a hold of the scissors. At least she didn’t have to pay 30 bucks for it. For only 6 minutes! Thats $300 an hour!! What is she a brain surgeon?! Hoping someone someone gets me a hat for Christmas:)

I’ve been getting haircuts here for years. However, I just went in and got a cut which was very unfinished by the end. The person seemed really out of it the whole time going incredibly slow and they didn’t cut a fairly large portion on my hair. So now I have to go to a different barber to get it fixed and I don’t think I’ll be going back.

Went here with a blunt cut to get some texture on the ends added the girl started layering my hair on one side so short no one else can fix it every morning I want to cry a little it will literally take me a year to grow out the tiny deep layers. Texture and layers are two different things . Worst cut of my life .
