I just moved from New York to Houston, Texas about a year ago and have been having the worst experience with barbers week after week. Every week I get Zeeked (bad haircut) or these guys show up like an hour late to appointments. These dudes are so lazy and just suck at cutting hair. Has anyone had a similar experience and if so how did you overcome this????
 
Finding a new barber is the absolute worst! I used to just wolf it in the DMV until I could go back to my neighborhood shop in Queens. Luckily, I found a good spot after a few years :lol: It's a bit of a drive from my place, but the barbers are on point (Kev's in Springfield, VA).
 
havin the same problem here.

seems dudes either misinterpret what i tell them i want or they just dont give a damn.

doesnt make a lick of sense to me especially since what i want is pretty damn simple.

have learned not to let dudes 26 and younger cut me tho. gotta be 35 plus or it aint happenin...

I went back to New York two weeks ago got the freshest shape up in history by my Dominican Barber.....i come back to Houston and I give this guy a nice template to work with and tell him how to cut it....this guy still manages to mess it up.

I may have to check this spot out which barber should I go to and what is the wait looking like. It is only a 30 min drive for me.
 
Use technology, specifically your phone. Instagram is a great resource to find legit babers. Use the tag section and #____ DMV barber, ot #houstonbarber. I've been in Baltimore for about 3 years almost and found legit babers through IG. They have to be tech savvy sorta and use correct tags but that's what IG is for. It's easy access to a barbers skill, and if their nice there work will be on IG most of the time.

:rofl: I'm only laughing because I know that struggle bro. **** happened to be a few years ago, had a week old cut but I was starting a new job. My barber wasn't there so I was like it's just a shape up, nobody can't mess that up. How wrong I was, :smh:. This ***** did some **** that was unexplainable, now I'm starting a new job being introduced to all these people looking like a damn fool. Should have just stayed with the cut and kept it moving.

By the way before I came to Bmore I used to get my cuts on Utica Ave in BK, then I switched to a shop in LES. Mix of PR, and DR barbers all of them were nice. though.

Word, DMV barbers are some ****. Found a good one in Alexandria after a long while. MD shocked the hell outta me with the quality though, AND they wanna charge damn near 30 bucks.
