Top Cut Barber Salon — Attraction in Oakland

Wish I could give zero stars. Absolutely the worse haircut I’ve ever received and I’ve never seen less attention given by the barber to try and make the haircut look good.

I scheduled a 30 minute haircut with Van. He then proceeded to rush through the haircut as fast as possible, taking the 4 guard too far up the side of my head and leaving untrimmed areas with the scissors. The entire haircut took about 8 minutes - why did I pay for 30?

I would never come back here again. Van did the cut as fast as possible with very little communication during the cut and he had no concept of how to shape the cut properly for my head.

I'm so furious with the guy with the purple hair (Marty). I asked for a clean up, just the ends. I warned him about cutting too much shorter because I need to grow the hair out in order to weigh down the curls and he took that as an invitation to remove the curls, which was 1 1/2 inches of hair! Partway through I haveb to interrupt him to tell him to stop--he was taking too much hair, but by that point it couldn't be fixed. I was so uncomfortable and wanted to leave right then and there and just pay for someone else to fix the damage. I told him I came in for half an inch, And he said, "why didn't you tell me"? Because "ends" are like 1/4 inch! I expect a professional to not take such liberty....
