Don Kight’s Barber Shop

My husband was refused a haircut and shave because his hair was «unmanageable» by the owner. Isn’t that what a barber is for? Went immediately to another barber down the road who did not share the same opinion and my husband had his hair and beard cut immediately. I’m not sure how this business has garnered any positive reviews but I would avoid this place if at all possible.

Just had to leave a review on this barber shop after all the reviews that are on here just are a little more exaggerated than the actual experience I’ve gotten recently.
Don’t like hunting around looking for new people who cut hair, however my older haircutter moved to Miami so my searches in the area came to Don’s. Good price and seemed to be a decent place according to reviews.
Got one hair cut there not from Don himself but from another barber that was working there about a month or so ago, nothing to write home about but did a decent job with the haircut. Over the past few weeks, Every time I’ve stopped over, the place has been closed when it should have been open, or as I noticed last Saturday the sign on the door read «Closed due to sickness but plan to reopen as soon as possible.»
.ooook, are you closed due to cancer or just a few days cold?
Needless to say the next time that I had off, which is the same day as this writing, Saturday March 21 2015 @1:32 EST, I called to check to see if it was open, as his website states on Saturday’s «Sat: 8am-​1pm but Don might stay later!», to which Don himself answered. I was relived that he was open and before I could tell him I was on my way for a haircut, he cuts me off and states that he’s gonna be closing and even though he’s working on a haircut now, he should have been closed an hour and a half ago. Buuut, he would be open tomorrow morning, Monday, at 8am. I let him know that that’s nice and all, but Im sure once I get in at 6am for work they aren’t going to be too fond of letting me get a haircut on the clock.
You might do alright work Don, but you really need to work on better communication with staff, signs and store hours. Many people don’t have a clear 9 – 5 schedule and off on weekends.
Update Friday March 27^th 2015, 920am EST, went in to get a hair cut, to which when I got back, the back was not even (Off by an inch from one side to the other, just about a 45 degree angle, with everything else being completely screwed up. When I went back to Don to ask if this was straight, he ignored me. I asked again, politely, and was told he was busy as there was another older man in the chair getting a hair cut. I asked both him and the gentlemen in the seat in front of him how could the haircut I got was even close to being straight, being an inch off in the back from side to side.
Too short on the front, long (untouched) in the back, intentionally crooked in the back (like an inch) and no fade. when I went back and asked what the deal was and does this look straight to him, he first ignored me and then gave me back the money paid and, I quote «Here’s your money now get the fuck out of my store right now before I call the cops.» I was furious and said asked is this how you do business? Seriously? I was told that he didn’t like the way I wanted to cut my hair «That what I asked for was for them beauty shops, and I don’t like doin a square off in the back of the hair anyway, its stupid.»
Image of back of my hair after I left:

I understand don is a great barber, but the level of unprofessionalism I experienced today was unbelievable. He literally refused service because I guess I was unclear about what I wanted? What’s hard to understand about ¾ in. Off the top, with the sides a little shorter. He talked to me as if I was ignorant then said he’d rather quit his job than cut my hair. I tried to be polite, but because I had a hard time explaining to him what I wanted, he refused service. He gave no suggestions or help to try and work with me. I’m more than happy to take my business elsewhere.

Great cut, friendly atmosphere, and reasonable wait — very nice find
