Vic's Barber Shop — Local services in Town of Hempstead

Damn, I don't know how this place got so many stars...friends maybe? I brought my son in here for the first time after growing out his hair for 6 months to get a full head of hair. Vic seemed very kind and told me this tall, skinny young kid would do my son's hair. Run! Run now...I told this kid to use scissors and trim up the hair and give him a shape. Showed him how I comb and part my son's hair. Said "no clippers, only for the hairline edges"....first thing he got? Clippers. I should've ran then...but, I figured, maybe this kid has a style..a way of doing hair..WRONG, I was up every few minutes.."are you going to fix this? etc." The hair got shorter and shorter and ended up being a mangled Ceasar. Even asked me if I wanted to have the forehead trimmed straight across (bowl look)..that's when it stopped. We left, I took him down the road on Atlantic to another barber shop near LaVia pizza shop, an ol' timer who fixed it up beautifully. I paid for my son's haircut $14 because when I watched Vic do another man's hair..it looked great. Hope it goes to his pocket not to that 'kids'...Sorry, but that kid is not fit to shave sheep. Will never ever go back and will tell everyone I know...

We called ahead to make an appointment. First time customers. We showed up at the time scheduled and when my fiancé walked in he was greeted with a rude demeanor “what you want” not even a hello or how can I help you... where is the professionalism? and then told to wait outside. Understandable due to covid but he was not asked to give a name or number or asked where we would be so he could go for the appointment when they were ready for him. So as we waited outside 15 past the time of the scheduled appointment another man who just pulled up in his car as we were waiting was told to go inside. Never again. First and last time. I am usually not an irate customer but this was terrible...

From out of state and needed a haircut. Looked at some reviews and ended up coming here. Decent, average place to get a haircut. Barber did an absolutely wonderful job. Told him I wanted a high and tight skin on the sides, and he gave exactly that! It was a little bit pricey, it was 20$ for a high and tight, but other than that,...
