On Saturday Night at 6:50pm I entered the Barber Shop to ask for a quick simple Beard line up which usually takes around 5 minutes. There were 1 or 2 others present in The Market's Barber Shop. As the last guy is being serviced, the so called Leader of the clan of barbers steps up and says we cannot cut your beard because "I have to go home for Ramadan", (which usually start 8:30pm at sun down, usually people go home around 8:00pm). By this time it is 7:05pm, I ask him the reason why and he says that its 7:05pm and we cannot cut your beard because you are late and that he will check the cameras if I want. I tell him to check the cameras and does not respond. At this point I offer $40 to one of the Barbers to do my beard. Proceeding, the short tempered and rudely unprofessional Leader Barber spoke to his fellow employee in arabic, telling him not to do my Beard (assuming I did not speak the Language). Following this incident, he then verbally harassed me within the establishment, At this point I did not feel comfortable getting my beard done so I decided to Leave. As my girlfriend and I walked out the Leader incited his friends to taunt me as one of them said, "come back" while raising his hands showcasing a fist.
This is not how you run an establishment, as I am a Business Owner myself; lying, threatening, delaying service in favour of friends, and charging customers at wildly different prices, are not an ethical business practices. This morning I looked up different barber shops and decided on Paulos (a block away). I would recommend them if you are out of town like myself, do not have a barber and want a fast, quality service.
