I just got my hair cut here for the fourth time. The first time was a pleasant experience with Kristin and good cut, the second time was a great cut with a guy who no longer works there, the third time was a fairly good cut, but today with Kristin was just bad.
I got there before 5:10 (confirmed by google) and asked if she had time for one more haircut. They close at 5:30 and she was finishing with another customer, but she said sure. She was really friendly with him, but by the time he left, I guess she didn’t have patience for me. When she asked me how I wanted my hair cut, she snapped back and questioned my answer but didn’t ever explain why.
After the haircut, where she had scissor-cut the top of my hair, she handed me a mirror and didn’t say anything. I asked how long the top was, and she said it was finger length. I asked if it could be just a bit shorter, and without replying or asking, she grabbed the buzzer and buzzed the top in about 8 strokes in maybe 15 seconds as I was turned away from the mirror. I was terrified. Probably about a quarter inch comes off and she says, “okay now it’s an inch”, which I guess is what I asked for? I asked her if she could blend the front portion of my hair, and she snapped back that she didn’t even know what to blend because it’s the same length.
I just got home, and my sideburns are noticeably about a quarter-inch off. I don’t think I did anything to provoke her other than her desire to close at 5:30, which was evident when somebody opened the door at 5:20 and she told them that she can’t take them because she closes at 5:30 (but her neon window sign was still lit Open), but she could’ve said so instead of rushing my haircut and doing a substandard job. I walked out at 5:33. I will be traveling further away to get my hair cut.
