Customer Review Summary
The complaints are about the quality of the cuts and about conduct. Reviewers describe haircuts of only four or five minutes, including a child's cut, with patches of hair and parts of a beard left untrimmed. One says a mustache shape-up cost extra and turned out so poorly it had to be shaved off, and another says cheap prices meant poor quality. A parent reports being confronted in front of other customers over a tip on a buzz cut, then told never to come back. One reviewer reports a barber cutting off half a beard without asking and being inappropriately handsy. A longtime customer since 1999 says their last visit in 2024 was the saddest part.

“The owner and staff probably won’t even care about this review, but this experience was so shocking that I felt compelled to share it. We brought our child in for a simple $12 haircut—a basic buzz cut with no styling. After the haircut, we left a tip. Instead of thanking us, the owner and other elderly employees confronted us in front of other customer and questioned the amount we tipped. They asked what anyone could buy with a $2–3 tip and proceeded to lecture us, insisting that customers should leave at least a $5 tip for hard work. To avoid any misunderstanding, we politely apologized and even offered to pay more. Surprisingly, they refused to accept it and told us never to come back. In all my years, I have never been publicly criticized or humiliated for leaving a tip. The entire situation was uncomfortable, unprofessional, and completely unnecessary.”

“They do a good job for a very reasonable charge.”

“If you want even a decent haircut, this is not the place. Honestly, you’re better off cutting your own hair with no mirror. I came in right before a two-month trip to Afghanistan, and my cut took barely four minutes. The barbers were distracted and talking to each other the entire time. They charged me extra for a mustache shape-up that was so terrible I had to go home and shave it completely off. They completely missed patches of hair in the front, and I had to have my older brother fix the back of my head. Even after a shower, it looked awful. To make matters worse, they had the nerve to demand a tip at the end. I was using a $100 bill from my dad and had to bring back the exact change, but even if it was my own money, there is absolutely no way I would tip for a service this bad. Save your money and go anywhere else.”
