Overpriced for a lackluster haircut and an odd vibe... Took my kid and I for a haircut here a while back, been meaning to leave a review. I went in mostly because it looked like an old time gentlemans hair salon so I thought it would be nice(I should have been tipped off by the fact that it was always empty... boy was it extremely over priced for what they did and my kids hair looked terrible I figured it was going to be more than usual because it's industry city but I was expecting a high end hair cut not whatever he did...

This shop does not abide by its posted hours. Says they are open from 10am. I've stood outside for over an hour waiting. They do not answer the phone or respond to text messages. King of kings... if you want to open at noon, then just open at noon and stop making us wait around. Haircuts are WAY too expensive and ONLY in cash ($50 in comparison to $30 at most shops) A public display of "end sanctuary city status" is unacceptable, especially in a neighborhood largely comprised of immigrants. The owner is a blatant Trump-er and talks politics with a lot of people. I've witnessed many customers being visibly uncomfortable and several clients have walked out the door. KEEP YOUR POLITICS TO YOURSELF AND NOT IN YOUR BUSINESS. I will not be returning...
