Came here for my first haircut since the lockdown. My hair in the front just about went past my eye at this point, but nothing crazy.
The good:
- Mr. Lee seems like a nice guy
- COVID protocols are taken seriously. Masks on at all times and you can smell the sanitizer being used on various surfaces
The meh:
- The haircut I ended up with was very standard, but for some reason I was charged more than expected. The price listed "27 & up" for mens haircut and mine came out at 35 + Tax. Mr. Lee didn't give a good explanation of why, nor was he upfront about the additional costs, only saying something along the lines of "only this time". I don't understand??? I guess my hair was longer than usual, but I've definitely left hair to this length before and has never been charged extra like this at any other salon. I checked the time and the whole haircut took ~30 min which feels pretty standard for haircuts. There was no back up customers either, so I'm extremely confused. Oh and my hair was clean too as I had washed it prior to coming in. If he was going to charge me extra for starting with longer length hair, it would be nice to be informed of it upfront.
- Water was too hot when my hair was being washed, and the basin was extremely uncomfortable. There was support lacking somewhere and I had to exercise my neck muscles to keep my head up or else I would have to painfully rest my neck on the basin.
I usually go to hair salons in Toronto so maybe my expectations are too high, but I think I'll stick to going to Toronto for my haircuts.
