Been meaning to post this...

I had not had a haircut since February. I went to V's after hearing it advertised on 1560, I was in the area and had some time to kill.

So I stop in a little after 5:45pm. I sit in the barbers chair immediately and begin my hair cut. I left a little over an hour later pissed. It is the worst hair cut I have had, ever.

It's because you touch yourself at night.

Why did it take an hour?

the barber took forever, then in the middle of the hair cut, he went to the counter to sell a gift card.

he assumed I wanted certain things ie rounded neck line, hair off my ears, cut the side burns. Stuff like that. I have always had someone ask what I preferred. All I wanted was a freaking trim and it turned into a hour long debacle.

Did the man give you a nice head and neck massage after like Granato says?

That place does suck at hair cuts. Shave was okay.

The massage was awkward to say the least. Luckily it was just my shoulders with the hand held machine thing.

I usually am not picky about my hair cut, hell I go to sport clips. I wanted the person cutting my hair to be able to speak English, which is why I went to V's.

I guess I am going to have to wussy up my life a bit and go to a salon.

Oh and my hair is uneven and he missed a chunk

I hit up an Asian nail salon in West Houston. They shampoo and massage your head afterwards all for like 13 bucks. It's the clean, chearper, kiddy version of a happy ending.

Sport clips:

4 on the top, 0 on the sides, blend it in. Nothing added.

7 minutes later, I'm outta there.

Barber Shop = old school.

Never go to the Supercuts on Westheimer. Worst haircut I ever had recently. Here was my complaint letter.

Dear Management of Supercuts,
I just wanted to say that I just received one of the worst haircuts of my entire life at one of your "salons". Having a very important interview in the next couple of days, I am dreading it. I think I would rather shave my head than leave this heap of razor burned, abominable **** on my head for everyone to see. Nothing screams ghetto than a one on the side tapered to a freaking four, half way to my ears with a buzz on top. I look like a rapper, **********. I might as well pull a Marshall Mathers, shave my head, and be the next Slim Shady. Not only did I choose to go to spend my money for the haircut I received, I asked the woman who is holding the clippers to use the requested length and she idiotically places a one on it assuming that I would like my neck to be tapered half-way up to my ears. What kind of damn person thinks that works for a white male? After one continuous mistake after another, the haircut started looking worse and worse, getting the side length confused with the top length. I watched her carefully as she decided to screw me every way possible. I tried to avoid asking her to please "not too high" or "is that the right gauge?" or "Please, double check if that is a 4". I sigh at her craftsmanship on haircutting. The final product has left me infuriated so I just decided to shave my head completely.

The customer is never right in this business, apparently. Your managers can't properly hire the right help because they do not listen to customer requests. Needless to say, I am never, ever, returning to a Supercuts to give you my money until I am dead and six feet under. The only way you will get my money is if I leave it as an inheritance to my future children, and they decide to spend it on your asses one wonderful Saturday morning. Hopefully, you won't screw them over either. I highly suggest you send a performance auditor to your Houston, TX location on Westheimer Rd.

Regards,
Bob Kelso

Holy crap Wes...I was gonna ask if that's where you went and then I saw your response. I used to live at Gramercy Park and that is one of the best places I've ever gotten a haircut (close 2nd to the Lifetime Fitness in Gilbert, AZ). BK Salon rocks.

Hell yeah it is. I've had one bad haircut in there in probably about 40. It was the one lady who works the second chair on the left. She got a little rushy rushy on me and didn't get the front that even, but it wasn't even that bad. Still massaged the F outta my skull though.

I've been going to the same girl at Visible Changes for several years now and she keeps getting "promoted".

It's gotten to the point that I have a hard time justifying the cost but I really like the way she cuts my hair and I hate trying to explain it to a new person.

I've basically fought the cost of inflation by getting a hair cut every three months or so.

Do they shampoo after they cut, or before? I don't give a crap about a shampoo before, I want it after to get rid of all the itchy loose hair.

Wes, when you walk in the girl that sits in the first chair to the right by the window is always who cut my hair, younger cute Asian gal.

Yep I go to a salon inside the loop. Thought it would be weird the first time, but not and its free beer and wine while you wait or while getting your haircut. Well not free bc I am paying 50 bucks for a haircut. But I gave up on the sports clip scene a long time ago once I decided I didn't want a haircut based on a guard number

Going to Supercuts prior to an "important interview" was a good idea.

Hopefully you shared that decision making process with your prospective employer.

Yeah, she is the best. I think her and the one guy in there are husband/wife owners. Their American names are "Brian" and "Kim", hints the BK part I believe.

It was more redneck than hippie. I use to get a 2 on the sides, so it was really short before.

2 is long and sh**** in my book. The sides of my head look like razor stubble when I walk out of the barber shop, hippie.

OP: use your words. Why wouldn't you be clear what you did/didn't want before he started?

^I thought I was very clear. He started off cutting just what I had told him to do. Then completely changed course in the middle as I was watching the Canadians burn down Vancouver. Unfortunately with hair, one wrong snip and it is over.

Solid gook run place off 290 and hollister, 12 bones and the gal is worth looking at. Decent pho joint next door. No happy ending.

I've had pretty good luck at V's, although I had one miss there. They seem to have a bit of turnover (or at least they've hired a few more people), so I've had trouble consistently finding someone I like.
