I am 25 years old. I went into Midtown Hair studio for a hair cut and asked for medium men's trim, tapered in the back and sides. My past barbers have always told me that my hair has been some of the easiest to cut and for the most part, it is hard to mess up a mediums men trim with hair as straight as mine. It cost $25 which is steep for a guy's haircut, but whatever. When I got home, I noticed that the barber, Josie, created 3 distinct bowl cuts going up my head. I have 3 lines in the back of my head and honestly, it is so short, the only means of salvaging it may be buzzing it off and trying to start from scratch. When I called to ask to talk to the owner to complain, I was informed my barber was the owner. I will never be stepping a foot back into this place. I highly advise any guy thinking of going to this place to try anywhere else. You'll be glad you saved your hair and money.
Update- after calling them to complain, they first offered to have me come in so they could fix it. After letting them know that I would never allow them to cut a hair on my head again, they offered and processed a full refund of my money. I spent twice as much getting another barber to ""salvage"" my hair cut. He said upon seeing me, ""Who did this to you? I don't like to bad mouth any competitor, but honestly- I don't know a single self respecting barber that would allow a client to leave with a hair cut this bad. There are deep holes from uneven clipping that honestly, I don't think I can fix but I'll do my best.""
Update- They apparently deleted my review because it didn't reflect kindly on their business. I now know how they got only great reviews on this website. They deleted twice now. In response to the business owner accusations that I am lying about my review- please post a picture of my finished hair cut from your surveillance footage and let your work speak for itself. Though I doubt you will as no one would be proud of that haircut. I have many friends in the service industry and as a force of habit, I tip regardless of service in hope that it may make your service better for the next person in line. In this case though, you are right. I should have refrained from tipping. I did appreciate the full refund and put it as the pro of the visit. The reason I left without asking you to finish is because after the initial cuts, it was obvious that something was wrong, and I decided against better judgement to stay in the seat and let the ""professional"" finish as I trusted you. But after seeing the finished product, I realized my gut instincts were right and that is why I refused to let you ""fix"" the damage you had done.
Pros: Full Refunds available.
Cons: Overpriced, Bad Results, Complete Dissatisfaction
