like an extension of family

by dudie

I have been going to Bob for years! I cheated on him once and had to have him fix my bad haircut and he made me gorgeous. His staff all spoils me and have become my friends. He truly cherishes people and wants to make everyone feel special. DONT GO HERE IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN A COLD, QUICK HAIRCUT WITH NO SOCIAL INTERACTION. Bob, treats everyone like family and wants everyone to meet and interact because he truly makes it his business to become friends with his clients. He is so warm and loving. But most of all, he makes me feel beautiful. I was told 5 times last night how good my haircut was, by 5 STRANGERS! I love people here, and I love the cut! Bob, you're a true artist!

• Pros: best haircut and color i've ever had
• Cons: i dont live there

Do you want to waste your time?

I don't even know where to start. My appointment was at 9:30, but someone was scheduled before me. I got there 10 minutes early and she just had her hair washed. Bob said hello and asked me to wait. I was cool with that. I sat. They offered me tea. I read a magazine. While I sat there Bob was chatting up the girl in the chair. Something like 15 minutes passed and I noticed he was talking the whole time. The conversation was totally all over the map. He discussed his psychology, his ex-wife, girlfriends, you name it - like I sad all over the map. I tried to ignore the conversation and wonder for a second if I would also be treated to the same. I went back to my reading.

Finally I noticed I had been waiting for 50 minutes and got really antsy. I thought, should I just go, but after reading all these reviews it sounded like he was some kind of genius with hair, so wanted to be open. This was my great mistake. Needless to say, Bob sensed my annoyance of waiting, so he pulled me into the conservation, and ignored the girl in the chair. She was probably happy. But the thing was was that he would cut some hair pull back stand in front of the client and talk. He did more cutting than talking.

At 10:30, they took me to the back to get shampooed. I was so hesitant, not because of getting a good haircut, but I had no real desire to be an audience to his monologue. I was put in the chair, and he started to work. All kinds of strange things transpired taking his attention away from my haircut, but his mouth never stopped. It was comical to watch his employees as they clearly couldn't stand him. Bob's appears all big, smart (he'll tell you all about everything under the sun he studies), but he is extremely emotional and talks out of his ass.

In the end, I sat there until 1:30. And big old Bob dumped his garbage truck of cramp on me, the client before me and everyone else that crossed the threshold. The cut was good, it may be great, but the experience was like a hostage situation. This might sound over dramatic, but I swear to you that if you were sitting in the chair you would feel the same way. I didn't write this - to spare his feelings, however people should be warned. it was fresh hell - when I told him to hurry - he got flustered and took even longer. If you're not into a four haircut - I don't recommend this guy.

• Pros: okay haircut
• Cons: 4 f 'in hour hair cut
