Nicholson’s Barber & Style Shop

Oh you couldn’t tell? Well, I’m not a fan. :op
Oh man did they FUBAR a fade.
First…I am very particular (read: picky) about my cut. Normally with a new barber, I go pretty detailed on what I want. This guy in the 4^th chair (should I have chosen the guy in the 2^nd chair instead?) wasn’t trying to have it. He was busy carrying on a conversation with his co-worker…droppin’ N-​bombs all over the place, haha. I mean, I’m not against it, but maybe it’s not the best in your place of business with an unfamiliar customer.
Either way, he was pretty short with me and seemed annoyed when I was trying to tell him what I liked, didn’t like, etc. My regular dude over at Jones Barbershop off Wilmington is the exact opposite. Ended up wanting the top a little shorter than what he had first done… he went AWOL and just took the blades even all over my head, leaving patches and all kinds of ridiculousness. It’s kind of funny now, but at the time, I was bubbling. I said, OK… and against my gut, I just paid the dude, tipped a bit (yuuuppp, I can’t help it), and left.
I went to my dude at Jones Barbershop the following Mon or Tues and got it fixed up, all the while we were laughing at the NUCLEAR FALLOUT dude at Nicholson had left.
Furthermore, their prices are a bit ambiguous for a fade. It’s like «$ 12 and up» or something… either way, it’s arbitrary. I don’t like that and prefer a flat fee with extras/​add-​ons listed with prices. Maybe it works with customers familiar with the system and the barbershop, but I’ll pass on that.
Either way, the cut is all good now and no hard feelings towards Nicholson, but I’ll stick with my dudes over at Jones (I reviewed them too).
Conclusion: NOT RECOMMENDED (i mean, unless you want that DESERT DECOR type look, haha)
