A & C Barber Shop

Can’t really speak to the barbers’ skills. Never had the pleasure of getting a cut. I was referred here by a friend so I thought I would check it out. So I went in and sat down when I was greeted with a «Yo bro, you gotta sign in». I’m 36 yo and not his bro. There was no signage indicating the rules and when I got to the list, it had 3 barbers names but the barbers were not labeled. So I signed into the shortest list. I sat there for about 25min. Listening to them bullshit back and forth, often completely stopping cutting to stand and talk. Even one of the customers walked over there to yuk it up. I had a wedding that day that I was in and extremely rushed. But I sat quietly. Then one guy finishes with his customer then sat there with his back to everyone and was texting or updating Facebook. Who knows. So a few minutes of that goes by, and then a random guy walks in also gets told to «Sign in Bro». He looked like he was on drugs and unstable and his ol’ lady was with him — a real prize too. Anyway he goes to the book and sees the barber on his phone and says how about you? «Yeah sit down». Nice. Mind you there were like 4 – 5 other ppl waiting too.
So whatever I suck it up. My fault. I should spoken up when he was on the phone. But the tweaker looked dangerous and I didn’t want to set him off. 25min go by. So now he’s done with this guy but before he is — someone he seems to have known came in and signed in. Then he says to him «Yeah you’re next» (no ‘bro’ tho). I was like «Nah he din-​!!» I had been sitting there for nearly an hour suffering. So when he was done and paid, I got up and said «Hey, I signed in under a random name. I don’t know anyone here. Just need to get a cut. I’m kind of in a rush. Can I just get one from you?» Reply: «Yeah, but I gotta take him next tho». No offense but the friggin friend had clearly just woken up (noon) and was all in sweats. I’m sure he was not in a rush. Nobody in that place was. I think maybe 1 of the other barbers finished 1 person in that whole time — the 3^rd barber (prob the one I signed in for) had the same person in his chair through this whole ordeal!
This place is like a cliché barber shop from a 90s movie set in south central LA or a Tyler Perry masterpiece or something. Everyone telling stories and standing around. Multi-​task for gods sake. I WISH I had time to waste like that. Needless to say I stormed out of there and had to go to Supercuts, which actually wasn’t bad. They can fade hair too and was out in 20min.
Terrible service.

They may be good barbers, I can’t say because my son and I walked in (sign says walk ins welcome), waited an hour, and then watched as the barber walked out the door without having the decency to address us. Obviously at that point we left.

Been getting my kids hair cuts there now for about 7 yrs. Always a great experience. Abel has always done a great job with the kids, giving them nice haircuts, and dealing positively with them when they were squirming toddlers. And the price is right too.
Me. I do my own hair at home (see my pic), but if I didn’t, I’d definitely be having Abel do mine.
