Local Barber Co. — Local services in McKinney

Update: I decided to bump it up to a 4 star for the customer service. I like that the owner called me with my permission, he owed up their mistakes instead of ignoring or arguing with me. I did not expect them to give a full refund or a refund at all - it didn't meet my expectations but they still deserve to get paid. For the customer service, I would give it another shot if my boys are on board too. I sincerely appreciate the gesture, it's not easy runing a business these days. I'm giving two stars because the receptionist was nice. This is the first time I took my kids there and really hoped this place would be our regular spot. First, we had to wait for 30 mins for one of our appointments. Because of that, we end up with the same hairdresser with the same problems. I am not sure where it went wrong, we showed some pictures, the haircuts were nothing like the picturs. When suggested some fix, I got the response of this is already shorter than the picture, the picture doesn't even show the back of the head! How do you know it's shorter than the picture, even it is, so? The hair dresser didnt take the time try to understand what we wanted. One of my boys had hair on the neck closer to the hairline that I had to trim it off after getting home. The haircuts were very choppy and uneven. The skill is just not there. I asked for hair wash for one of the kids, and of course he didn't get it. All of us felt that the lady didnt listen to our needs. On top of it, the worst cleanup afterwards, hair allover the kids face, ears and neck. Needless to say, we won't be back. I will have to find somewhere else to fix the haircuts...

As of writing this review I have been searching for my new "go to" barber (every man should have one that makes him feel his best) and thankfully, as of yesterday, I have finally found one. I have been to this location previously and had a solid experience, but it was the first time that I was taken care of by Mikayla and given how great the experience was, I felt strongly compelled to write a review highlighting why I won't go anywhere else.

I'm prior service and honestly can't stand when my hair isn't perfect and not looking clean. Lately, I have been studying for various professional exams and had essentially "let my hair go" for far too long given my cave-like existence of study, eat, sleep, for the past few weeks (yeah, I looked pretty rough and shocked myself haha). Thankfully, I was in great hands as Mikayla gave me a seriously AWESOME/STRACK/CLEAN/SLICK skin fade cut which honestly made me feel as though I became myself again.

Not only was she extremely professional (my head-shape isn't an easy "canvas" by any means), but it was clear to see that she genuinely enjoys what she does and the quality of her work speaks for herself. If you are looking for a CLEAN cut or trying to look and feel your best, I can definitely...

Ever since Pandemic hit, like most I started working remote, my usual Hair stylist has become quiet a drive for me (Prev. one was closer to my work), I had been looking for a barber shop that serves me to maintain the hair style I had been sporting for a while, when I saw Local Barber opening near my place, I wanted to try it out but was bit hesitant as I was bit paranoid that my hair style would be messed up, (had a bad experience in the past with some other new barber shop), but today I had to yield to my curiosity and tried it anyway, I went in to their website to make the reservation, I do not know who to choose for a hair stylist, so kept it "Any" and visited them at the appointment time, I was greeted my Amanda, just have to show amanda a pic that I snapped soon after my hair cut from my usual place, Amanda understood my needs right away and started working on my hair, I was super happy to see the final look after the hair cut. I would strongly recommend Local Barber specifically Amanda if you are looking for a new hair sylist. Next up my kiddo and wifey to try...
