Philly Cuts — Local services in Philadelphia

I rarely leave reviews. However, my young son's experience at this shop was so horrible that I am haunted by it. I am new to Philly, and I came here looking for a barber. My son had to sit on a hard wooden board for over an hour. The barber did not have a regular padded cushion that every barber that I have taken him to before uses. Furthermore, the cut had always taken other barbers approximately 20-25 minutes to complete but this barber took more than 3xs as long. In the end, my son was so sore and uncomfortable that he cried out to me from in the chair to tell me that he wasn't comfortable. This was after suffering in silence for over an hour. So, I swiftly removed my son from the barber's chair as the barber expressed to me that he wasn't finished. As far as I was concerned, he was done! Additionally, services were given that I did not request, and thesee services also added to my son's nightmarish experience, which I learned later. So, if you are considering taking your child here, please do not allow them to sit on a wooden board and request another barber. This barber was not child-friendly and seems more suitable for adolescents or adults (patrons who are more likely to speak up when something is wrong ). Also, please check-in with your child to make sure they are comfortable. Lastly, if something does not feel right, please intervene. I would like to mention the other barbers seemed fine and the place was clean. However, my son will never return. We will continue our search for a good barber in our area, and I will be sure to ask questions before any service...

I wish I could have given this place a better review, considering how much I liked the people and atmosphere but the quality of my haircut was so poor.

I informed the barber that I had some product in my hair and he made me get a $5 shampoo/wash instead of just using a spray bottle and comb to straighten things out. Once that was done, I asked for a bald fade. The barber took over an hour (which is usually a good sign) and then gave me the mirror when he was finished. He didn't blend any of my sides in and his lines were sloppy. I asked him to fix it up on the sides and he took another half hour for that. I came home and had to fix my lineup myself. I was about to take a picture of it and post it here, but I just wanted to get rid of it. I also had to fix an entire patch of my hair that was missed on the side, as well as the areas above my ears.

When it came time to pay, he said that they no longer accepted card and didn't offer any payment apps. They have PayPal signs up on their mirrors, but this seems to be a cash-only spot. Fair enough. I went next door to the ATM because I was $5 short (go figure). Then, I came back and had to wait around for the barber to get change from next door.

I hate giving bad reviews, especially when the people are great but this was a frustrating experience. Hopefully they...

My 4 year old daughter got her hair done by the hair stylist/kid hair stylist Fatimah and she's very UNPROFESSIONAL!!!! She was about 4 hours late to the shop, when she finally arrived at the shop, she conversed with other employees, left to get the lunch for her and other employees that took between 30-45 minutes without any notice that she was even leaving. After my daughter started getting her done, she began and continued to take about her very PERSONAL LIFE (her boyfriend or whoever) plus stopping my daughter hair to show me pictures of the guy, complaining about how she HATES when kids go to sleep while in her chair and hits NOT TAP BIT HITS my daughter to try to wake her up. She pushed her to go in front of the backdrop for a picture. She told my daughter that she couldn't ask her any questions because she ask too many questions and that the questions she's asking is soooo annoying. She told her that she couldn't talk anymore. She was sooo mean to my daughter. My experience with FATIMAH was TERRIBLE AND UNFORGETTABLE. The owner/manager KEISHA was very PROFESSIONAL AND PLEASANT. I WILL NOT BE TAKING...
