Cost Cutters

Do not ever get your hair cut here! My son went in to get standard boys cut, a two on the sides and two finger cut on the top. Sylvia the stylist cut the back of his hair so short it stood straight up and the side of his head looked like a weed Wacker was used to cut his hair. The tapper was so lopsided one side was a little above his ear and the other side was almost at the top of his head. Instead of admitting she cut it incorrectly she put a ton of product on him said well its his head and it’s gonna stand up. My son looked better before she cut his hair. She didn’t attempt to fix it or even apologize. She just kept blaming it on his head. Do not let her cut your hair your better off not cutting your hair at all. Sylvia has no clue what she is going her skills are definitely out dated.

UPDATE: I was contacted this afternoon by Carmen. She was kind and considerate and understood my concerns. She scheduled me an appointment for tomorrow with the manager of one of the better locations in the area (Ben White/​Lamar) and is refunding me the money I was overcharged. I will review that location and experience after I get my hair cut but I won’t be coming back to this particular location :(

REVIEW: I feel absolutely terrible for having to write this review, because the girls were so nice, but I have to warn others.
I just received the worst hair cut of my life. I asked for a below shoulder length cut, with layers and I got an angled bob with choppy, uneven, chunky layers. Not just that but my «stylist» had to ask the lady in charge how to blow dry my hair. The worst part is that the lady in charge SAW what my hair looked like when she came over to assist and let me walk out the door with this horrible looking haircut. I honestly don’t complain about bad hair cuts and this is partly my fault because I was too scared to speak up but isn’t this their job? They go to school for this?
During my cut, I was quoted a price to have my hair blow dried and when I went to check out, they couldn’t figure out how to change prices on their machine and I had to pay more than was quoted and told I was getting a discount. Um…
Anyway, what could I do? I can’t trust any of those girls to fix my hair if my own stylist had no idea what she was doing.
$ 35 down the drain and it sucks. Maybe I should grow balls to tell stylists that the cut clearly looks like a disaster but I put my trust in the girls because they were trained and it’s their job and not one person said or did a thing. Because last time I checked, a below the shoulder cut is not the same as an angled bob.

So last year my hair was hippie long lol. So I decided to cut it. Went to see Sandra whom I’ve known for years at another Cost Cutters location. Did a great job with the new cut. I went today to see Sandra, but she was booked all day long. I am always weary of new things like a new stylist. But I took the leap and asked Gracie to help me out.
As much as I love Sandra, I have found a new stylist in Gracie! She’s very knowledgeable and cut my wig exactly to my liking. She was wonderful and so so sweet as well! Next time I am calling ahead to request Gracie. Sandra is great too, but can be booked for a long period of time. Do yourself a favor and ask for Gracie. You will not regret it.

A great place for a decent haircut at a reasonable price! I mostly bring my kids here and it’s usually a pretty short wait and the staff are always friendly!

This is the slowest place I’ve ever been. After checking in, I sat and waited my turn. I’ve been here several times because it’s convenient, but, after waiting well over 30 minutes, on a slow day, without being acknowledged further, I decided life is too short for a cheap haircut and walked out. Never more.

The days of me cutting my son’s hair myself have long past. One of his friends gets his hair cut here by Deena so we stopped in for a cut last night. Apparently she knows just how to cut the emo hipster style that my 13 year old son wanted. I’m pretty sure she just made herself a customer for life. My son left for school beaming with his new hair this morning. Who knew such good things came from Cost Cutters. Ask for Deena, she gets it. She really does.

After visiting the Cost Cutters location on Slaughter Lane, I am the hat-​wearing owner of the Worst Haircut Ever. To be fair, I’ve had decent haircuts here before, so I’ve given them 1 star. The day after my hair was chopped, I went back to have it fixed, and was worked on by the same stylist, who continued to not listen and not measure. I called the next day, and was told a manager would call me when they got in. No one ever called… surprised? Do yourself a favor and avoid this place, you’d be better off cutting your hair yourself.
