### 1-Star Disaster at Barber Effects (more like Defects) - Avoid at All Costs!…read more I walked into this barbershop today hoping for a fresh look, showing the barber a clear reference photo of a curly mullet - you know, that trendy, layered style with volume on top and length in the back. What did I get? A buzzed-to-the-bone disaster that looks like it was done with a weed whacker. My curls? Gone. My mullet dreams? Obliterated into a generic, ultra-short crop that makes me look like I lost a bet. Shocked, I flagged down the owner/barber to complain. He took one look, agreed it was "very short" (understatement of the year), and offered to comp the service as an apology. Fair enough, right? But here's where it gets messy: the original barber (JC, as I later learned) didn't even bother lining up my hairline. It's crooked as hell around my temples and neck - like a toddler drew it with crayons. Total amateur hour. I politely asked for JC's name to reference in my feedback, and the owner/barber straight-up grilled me: "Why do you need his name?" I explained I was leaving a review to warn others. His response? "Please don't do that." When I stood my ground and said I absolutely would, he flipped the script - threatened to charge me (and did) for the haircut anyway, and topped it off by calling me "spoiled" as I walked out the door. Spoiled? For expecting a basic competence from a professional service? This place is a joke. Rude staff, zero accountability, and haircuts that ruin your day (and your self-esteem). Save your money and your sanity - go literally anywhere else. JC and the owner/barber should be ashamed. Never again.

My friend and I wanted to do a makeover for fun. After a lot of searching, we ended up at Barber…read moreEffect. While it was out of our way (it's not accessible by metro), we chose it due to the easy to use website, straightforward pricing, great reviews on google and customer images that were exactly the style we were looking for. And WOW... the commute was 100% worth the cost of an Uber ride. We booked with Frank and couldn't believe the magic hands this man has! hahaha. Frank is funny, kind and was super helpful bringing both his expertise and listening skills to the table. We showed up with a few samples of what we wanted and Frank worked his magic on my friend's hair and beard. I also was super annoying recording everything for TikTok (haha!) because, well, we wanted to make a funny video of the experience for our friends - and Frank was so fun to work with. He even jumped in some pictures with us at the end. Most important, my friend got so many compliments on his new look afterwards. I highly recommend Barber Effect and Frank!

Ryan was very rude when asking how I wanted my haircut done, and he continued to complain about my thick hair and how it is hard to work with. It is almost like I have too much hair and i'm looking for a HAIRCUT. Ryan is funny and can be fun to talk to, but he was very rude to me and my old barber. My old barber quit which is why I was coming to this shop as an alternative. Ryan charged 36$ cash and made me use his ATM even though he has a card reader. Ryan took my fade to the absolute top of my head, made it so that my corners could not be filled anymore, thinned the everliving hell out of my hair, and made parts very uneven. I do not recommend this shop because he rushes, is rude, only takes cash, and does a poor job.

Reading the reviews and seeing the pics that were posted I decided to give the spot a try. I will say I'm glad I came here because it is a professional and clean establishment. My go-to barber is Tyrone but don't sleep on Meeko, he also is slick with his cutting. I usually go for a more conservative style due to my work environment so Tyrone always knows how to cut my hair without even asking. He does an amazing job and spends a good amount of time ensuring that it was perfect. Currently the vibe in the barber shop is empty due to COVID restrictions and doesn't give off your normal barbershop vibes. Its the norm, but that doesn't stop MM from keeping a very clean shop with good conversation. I highly recommend this spot to any male (ALL Races) because it doesn't matter...if you have hair on your head that you want cut - They got you!
