A good barber is hard to find. Let me say that again, A GOOD BARBER, IS HARD TO FIND. I was…read moreskeptical of this place for a few reasons, so my expectations were low, I guess the good news is they didn't disappoint me.
When this place was Top Fade, it was always busy, Truth be told, most of the barbers there were trash, but this location is actually really good because it's close to a lot of teens. The place was actually quiet and empty when I arrived. Still skeptical, I decided to give them a try.
Rather than beat around the bush, I'll just sum it up. The fade wasn't tight, matter of fact the fade itself was weak and the overall cut was average at best. The saving grace was the chop was $30. That is a few bucks less than the competition and since I didn't have a long wait, in the end, the cut served it's purpose. I also didn't care for the loud music. It's a barbershop, not a club, so turning up the music once people show up is just silly.
Kyle was cool, I don't know if he is new to the game, but if he could really tighten up his skills and add a razor line, he just might sew up the area. Speaking of line. My neck has been on fire for days. I don't think the clippers were cleaned before cutting me and that is a major no-no. Also, he just patted me lightly with alcohol after the fade. My man, you need to spray the neckline and wipe it dry, or at least have enough 90% on that tissue that you can soothe that area.
Serious rookie mistakes that would make me thing twice about returning. I will make it clear for any barber or customer who is scouting out this place. 1) Always be professional. 2) Treat your business like a business, not a hood hangout. 3) Keep your equipment clean. 4) Sincerely than people for their business and welcome them back. Do these things and your business will thrive.
Honestly, this was a 2 star experience, but you gained a star for not being greedy and charging too much for what it was.
