Rude stylists, sub-par hair cut job, overpriced for shoddy service by ElectricalStorm h. at InsiderPages

I really should have walked out once I got a load of the sullen girl who was about to cut my hair. I really should have taken better note of the disheveled (and I don't mean stylishly disheveled) hair on her own head, but I really needed a trim.

She commenced with the drape and began pinning my hair back without even asking if I wanted a wash. Rather uncouth and ill-mannered, she barely stopped blathering with the stylist across from her own chair before rudely asking, What did you want me to do? The other stylist laughed.

Arguably she was asking about what I wanted her to do with my hair. I told her I just wanted a trim.

Indeed, she gave just a trim. I could hardly see she'd trimmed off any hair, so subtle was the trim. I had to ask her if she'd actually cut off any length at all. She rolled her eyes and said yes, she had. Look at the hair on the floor, she added.

At that point I decided to just cut my losses and go to a professional elsewhere to get my hair cut. I went to the register, paid what I owed but left no tip even though it was clear she expected one, and told the girl she might want to choose another vocation because she had neither interest nor aptitude for the job.

I told her that I'd pay for the cut only because I had indeed sat down in the chair and she had indeed applied scissors to my hair, but that it was the poorest job and poorest service I'd ever gotten.

I got out of there and got my hair done by a professional. Bottom line: you get what you pay for. In my own experience this place is second-rate. Stay away unless you want to be overcharged and under-served with a shoddy cut job and have the staff be rude and inattentive to you.

PROS: HEB is next door: Buy yourself some scissors, you could do better yourself.

CONS: Poor service, prices not worth shoddy service, rude staff
