I made a reservation for "The Works" the day off the appointment with Sara without any issues. "The…read moreWorks" included a haircut, a hot lather neck shave, a wash, and a massage. When I walked in, I was immediately greeted by the barbers, and attended to quickly. It's incredibly clean there too. I've always had trouble getting the haircut I wanted, but Sara nailed it. She taught me afterward how to style my hair with product so that I could do it at home. I have never left a haircut as satisfied as here. On the way out, they even offered me lollipops and popcorn. I'll be sure to come back!

There were so many things wrong with this appointment. First of all, I confirmed a reservation for…read morea men's cut with Abir, who charges + $3 extra on top for being a master barber "intent on providing you with the absolute best barbershop experience around" according to their website. I arrive on time, and the receptionist cannot find my reservation in the system. She tells me she thinks I booked it at another location. I had to show her my text confirmation for her to get me in. Abir already has a customer in her seat and asks me to wait. When she sits me, I explain my haircut to her, then she rushes through cutting my hair. She's going so fast her comb is catching my earlobe, and it hurts like hell. She sees my face in pain and doesn't even apologize. Then her next customer comes in the door, and she stops cutting my hair to greet him. Then she proceeds to cut my hair even faster, forgetting to give me a hard part. The lines around my ears are crooked and do not match. At the end, she cleans up the hair on the back of my neck and vigorously vacuums my head, neck, face, and shirt. Folks, she is not worth the extra $3, and you will not get the absolute best experience with Abir. Never again for me.

Pros: The owner seems like a nice guy, many people rave…read moreover their services Cons: One jerk of a barber, atmosphere may not always be appropriate for all ages Details (mostly so other parents know what we experienced): My pre-teen son needed a real hairstyle instead of a clipper cut at home. Faded Up had a lot of great reviews so we went for a walk-in haircut. He ended up in "Stiles" chair. We brought three photos and discussed likes/dislikes about each. We clearly explained my son wanted an easy style and nothing too trendy. As the haircut progressed, Stiles kept combing it over with a hard part and we had to point out several times that was not what my son wanted. It was evident Stiles was angry and frustrated by the end, and he loudly advised me from across the shop that next time we should know what we want before we come in. I guess photos are not enough? In the end the haircut was just ok. I had to even up the sides when we got home, as well as clean up a spot that was nicked and continued to bleed into the evening. Neither of my sons liked the heavy R&B channel playing on the TV, and I was surprised by a couple videos featuring dancers in strip clubs grinding their barely-dressed pelvises in men's faces. I'm a fairly open and progressive parent, but I didn't feel the "entertainment" was appropriate for a business that is said to be a good place to take children years younger than mine. The end result? My sons asked me to brush up on my haircutting skills because they don't want to go to a barber shop again. I understand how this place could appeal to some though, and I hope they continue to be successful.

The reason these guys get one star is because of the toxic macho attitude that overruns this…read morebusiness. They say they work with younger kids, boys specifically, yet the videos on their TV with mostly naked women, Rap videos full of women being objectified and general decor around this place that seems to encourage a "macho men only" feel, is not a place for younger men or boys. The language was extreme as well, being used by the stylist, and before I get some, "Oh you're a Karen" or, "Oh you're a religious nut" gaslighting or deflection, I am neither. Nothing wrong with being a progressive-minded person who feels general decent behavior is not a bad thing and good role modeling for younger people is nice. These guys are man-children running a shop that has no class.

My son then tried to look for a picture on his phone because Stiles didn't understand and both him and another barber seemed very annoyed that he didn't get in the chair fast enough. As a customer, I believe it is important that you are heard especially because it's your hair and you are a paying customer! My son didn't have a very good experience at all and I will not be coming back again. He was very unhappy with his haircut because Stiles didn't want to take the time to listen or try to understand what he wanted. I cancelled my appointment that I had with my other son. If you have long hair and don't need a fade, I suggest going elsewhere.

Holy crap! Went in looking for a beard "trim" and haircut. I asked the woman working there (not the…read moreblonde, she's fantastic) if she can do beards because I'm very particular. She said yes, and jokes that it's only hair and it'll grow back. I also told her I'm growing my long moustache out and only clean it up. What I ended up with was a jacked up butcher job! She said "now you can see your lips. I guess so... It's 1/2 above my damn lip! And the beard is jacked up too!! I honestly feel I now need to shave it all off and start over. 3 years down the drain. I've always walked out of there with a great cut but this looks like a 3rd grader did it. Judge for yourself...

Hell no. My hair got…read morechopped the hell up at this barber shop. I asked for a medium fade, even had pictures to support the barber. But I still ended up with some creative mess. The fade looks uneven. Damn near choppy at one side. And then above the side burns, this man gets creative and gives me some curves than look like they belong on a 13 year old. I never asks for that mess!!! Not coming back. I even gave this man a tip, thinking it looked good. But got home and found out the reality. Good thing my hair grows back quick.
