I have had three great haircuts from these guys. True the music can be a little loud, and the barbers look a little hipster, but I found them to be reasonably friendly, and I really enjoyed have a beer and yarn with the other blokes while waited my turn (about 10-15 mins). At under $30, the price isn't bad either. Do yourself a favor, don't listen the whingers and give them a go for yourself!
Don't go to the Fitzroy one... the shop is filled with failed wannabe-rock-stars who believe cutting hair in a trendy shop allows them to be rude and think they are better than the people that sit in their chairs. If you want to be treated with disdain, judgement and given an average haircut then feel free to check them out. The free beer will surely more than compensate for this kind of behaviour.
Dr Follicles is so cool. The people who work there are so trendy and up to date. The music they play is really edgy as well, I think it was some sort of chinese/blues/jazz Id never heard of but it was super rare and played loud as! And then there's the manager, good thing you employ super trendy young hipster because you're well out of date mate. ha ha well passed that used by or best before. ...read more
Endured a cut with a set of clippers that was clearly low on battery so my head copped a lot of hits and it took forever. Plus the barber had a go at me when he asked me how long I wanted it on top when I said I'd prefer it to stay as long as possible, he just said okay I won't cut any then, so I had to specifically ask him to cut SOME off, which he only did a bit directly on the top and I had go home and tidy up my fringe MYSELF cos he didn't even touch it.
When I went to pay and realised it's cash only I was ordered out of the shop to go to the 7-eleven but given no directions. I knew there was an ATM four blocks away so I went there, came back and the barber deliberately short changed me. Even though I hesitated and looked at him, waiting for him to fix it up he kept saying THANK YOU THANK YOU ushering me out.
Seriously, for $28.50 - and end up paying $29 for a poor cut, this is unacceptable to be treated like this. Not happy.
It's a cheap hair cut that you paid an extra 50 cents for? Why didnt you just speak up and let him know you were short changed?! And why didn't you just ask for a little more off the top? Or that the clippers were hurting you? Or that you didn't know where the nearest ATM was? I find it very hard to believe that he had a go at you for asking for the cut you wanted. Why didn't you speak up?
"It's a cheap hair cut that you paid an extra 50 cents for?" Yes, I'm used to paying $20-25. Cheap would be under $20.
"Why didnt you just speak up and let him know you were short changed?!" I was treated in a hostile manner and deliberately short-changed, this was not an error. I felt embarrassed.
"And why didn't you just ask for a little more off the top?" This is about expectations and talent. I gave direction of what I wanted at the start, I was prompted to give further redirection during, which is fine but was treated poorly as a result. The cut looks bad, so either no talent or lazy.
"Or that you didn't know where the nearest ATM was?" New to the area, only familiar with further up Smith St, not down near Gertrude St. Given that its cash only in modern times and I get that it's expensive, this is a good opportunity to give specific direction modern facilities. Why did I bother even coming back to pay for a bad cut, only to get short-changed?
