A's Barber Shop — Attraction in Honolulu

No longer what it used to be - service-wise.

I arrived at 5:30 for a 5:45 appointment. I waited. Others arrived later than me. When it was already 5:50, they called someone who just arrived minutes before. So I told them I have a 5:45 appointment. 1 woman got annoyed and she happened to be the one who would cut my hair. She shampooed my hair super quickly and carelessly. Cut my hair, then asked for additional 3 dollars for the shampoo! OMG!!!

In the past, they would rinse my hair, and give a quick message after hair cut, and I would voluntarily give 5$ tip. Now, I just didn't wanna do it, and she just really asked for 3 dollars extra. I don't mind, but it was obvious she was just annoyed that I reminded them loudly of my appointment after they served a customer who arrived later then me. In fact, she never bothered to give a quick pat or massage(not important but made it obvious that she didn't want to serve me).

Also during the haircut session, I felt super awkward and uncomfortable, knowing she didn't really wanna serve me.

I will not go to A's again. Will look for alternative...

I have been going to A's for almost two years and today's experience made me question if I would return. The price for a haircut is $20 and a bit more if you want a "Style" type haircut. I was charged more than the advertised price of $20. The lady barber said my haircut was more expensive since to I am not a regular customer. Her definition for a regular customer was to get my hair cut at their place every 3 weeks. What a crock of BS. Never in my life (and I am turning 70 this year) have I experienced a business charging more based on a requirement of getting a haircut every 3 weeks. I know this is a popular barber shop but they should treat ALL of their customers better than I was...

Most terrible barber shop experience ever! I showed the lady a picture of the haircut I wanted and the one I received didn't look ANYTHING alike. It was a simple fade, nothing special. They spoke vietnamese (I do not speak or understand vietnamese) the entire time to each other which is no problem whatsoever to me but the constant stares and looks from the other ladies as she continued to butcher my hair were extremely uncomfortable. I could be wrong of course but it seemed clear that they were making comments about me. I had to bald my hair for my graduation, luckily I had my cap on. Pat seemed to have been doing a great job with...
