Supercuts

Had a haircut at WS Supercuts yesterday.
Was very happy with my cut from MacKenzie. (sp)
I like the fact they have a formal training for all their employees. I’ve never been disappointed.

Ok, ok, I know… I should not have had any expectations from this place but they still managed to disappoint me.
No matter what I describe to the stylist, I always get the same cut. One time the stylist even yelled at me,
«You want spiky!»
«No, I don’t want it spiky.»
«YOU WANT SPIKY!!!» I got spiky and left.
Another time, the lady told me, «YOUR HAIR FALL OUT, BUY MY SHAMPOO, YOUR HAIR NO FALL OUT!!!»
So, I got a bad haircut, got insulted and scammed all at the same time. Thanks, Supercuts. Oh and then their credit card machine stopped working that day so the lady yelled at me because I tried to pay with a card.

Unfortunately, I did not look at the reviews before walking in for a haircut — and I paid for it as a result. I normally sport a basic crew cut when it comes to my monthly visits, but the hairdresser here could barely speak English and was verbally combative about what I wanted done with my hair. Had I not been paying close attention, I would have walked out bald.
Honestly, you get what you pay for — so I really can’t complain. Just want to make sure others don’t make the same mistake.

I really should have listened to the reviews on this place. I just walked in a got a buzzcut because I mean honestly, how hard could it be? The barber messed up shaving my head! He nearly took off half my beard. Not to mention there was blood on the floor. Never going back. Please heed the warnings.

Had to go here cause my barber was on vaca. Told the barber exactly how I wanted it, and still he screwed up. EFFF that. Never again I’m going there. I told him a few times to leave my sideburns alone. Damn! I’m now home and just shaved my head.

Despite the negative reviews, I still decided to give this location a shot. I just recently moved into the area, so I need to find a new regular place. There wasn’t much of a wait, so that was a plus considering it was a Saturday afternoon. I ask for a pretty easy cut (simple medium fade all around), so it’s not too hard to get a decent haircut. That’s pretty much what I got. It was decent, but nothing I’d call spectacular. The stylist was kind and chatty. I give this place three stars for two reasons, despite the decent cut. The first is price; I just feel that $ 16 plus tip is a bit spendy for a simple and quick men’s haircut. It’s basically the same price for me to get a few inches trimmed off via electric razor as it is for a woman with a full head of hair to be cut. I’m not asking for it to be like $ 7 as I’ve gotten from other places, but $ 10-​$ 13 seems reasonable. The second point is the service. You get a decent cut, and then that’s pretty much it. I get pretty annoyed at places that don’t clean you up afterwards. I left with cut hair pieces all throughout my hair, and there was also much of it on my ears, neck, and face. There was basically no effort to clean any of this up beyond a few quick flicks of the brush.
In my search for a new regular place, this location will stay on the list of possibilities. It’ll stay as a fallback plan, though. I’ll continue to look, hoping to find something reasonably priced with customer-​centric service. This place is ok, but I’ve definitely had better.

Unless you want to look ridiculous, don’t go near this place. The first annoyance is that the guy who cut my hair kept spraying me in the face when he was doing the shampoo. I said something about it and he seemed to acknowledge it, but continued to do it.
I have a very easy style to cut and I went so far as to show him exactly how to do it. Rather than listen to me, he proceeds to trim the nape unevenly with shears and, before I could stop him, he whipped out a pair of clippers and slashed the side of my hair down to less than an inch. I Unilocaled (no pun intended) and told him that it was too short. He said that it was good and that he couldn’t do the style any other way.
I let him finish, so I didn’t walk out the door looking completely terrible, paid and went to another salon down the street, so somebody halfway competent could fix the fact that the hair around my ears was cut to different lengths, the nape was uneven and the «blending» was done with thinning clippers, probably because he had no idea what to do.
I would understand if he just didn’t know how to do the style that I wanted, but… tell me that, so I can go somewhere else, rather than spend $ 18 to get my hair mutilated and another $ 5 (bless that stylist’s heart) to get it kinda fixed.

I wasn’t excited about a «super cut», but they did a pretty great job despite all the bad reviews. Very friendly.

EEK! Methinks not. I go time and time again because of convenience but they suck at cutting hair.

This place is ok. The staff is nice. The wait can be long so make a reservation. I just get a 2 minute buzz cut and they charge me $ 16. It’s kind of a rip off.

My experience is they give OK men’s haircuts here and they are quick — actually the last one I got was really good. I have ended up with someone different each time I’ve gone in.

Place is ok — gotta good haircut — good wash as well — $ 18 0 I thought it was good for a Supercuts

I’ve got three haircuts here. One lady was ok, another was great, but the only male that works there totally butchered my hair. He didn’t listen to anything I said, and I don’t know who would ever ask for a haircut I got. The least the guy could have done is point me in the direction of the nearest Army recruiter, because I looked like I was ready to enlist in the military. Now I have the next three months of growing my hair out. To make things worse, I had a date that night in which I cancelled because of this guy’s incompetence. If you have to go there stay far away from this man.

I have gone here three times. The last time I went was my last. While I was there I wanted the side swept bangs the guy who was my hairdresser didn’t know what I was talking about. So then I had to point out a picture on the wall that had the bangs I wanted and I said «those». Then he said to me «Well, your going to have to part your hair on the side for that.» So what? Just give me my damn bangs! Then he ended up cutting them like regular bangs anyway and I never got side swept bangs. Also I saw in the mirror when he was putting some styling lotion in my hair one of his finger nails actually cut my scalp! And then when I was paying he was hovering over me saying how I should buy their shampoo and asking me how much of a tip I was going to give him.
I will NEVER go here again! Don’t waste your time and find somewhere better!

Poor listening skills by Staff. Won’t get butchered at this location ever again

After years of Supercuts haircuts, I left due to a few bad haircuts. I decided to try it again because it is close and cheap. BIG MISTAKE.
I just left with the worst haircut of my life. Hair lengths all over the place, from front to back. She asked me if I wanted to leave the front a little longer so I could style it up (the way it was when I walked in) and I said yes. She proceeded to cut it to ½ inch length (cutting off about 1 ¼ inches). She also shaved off all the hair from my temple to my sideburns, making it a straight line down the side of my head. She completely ignored the natural growth of my hair and it looks ridiculous. There is no way to fix this except to wait for my hair to grow back.
Maybe this girl was just terrible, but I will never return to Supercuts again.

I decided to go back and try Supercuts again. It is just so darn convenient!
They had a complete turn over, including (I think) the manager. It was very clean, quick, and gave me a great cut. They’ve come a long way from my original rating of one star. I will be back for more cuts.

Most people go to Supercuts because it’s quick, convenient and (relatively) cheap. If you want someone to spend hours discussing the feng shui of your head and crafting a haircut that accessorizes your socks, there are different places to go to. Not that you get a bad haircut at Supercuts, but you don’t go to McDonalds for fine dining, do you?
The West Seattle Supercuts passes the grade the two times I’ve been here. Like all great Supercuts, it’s part of a strip mall-​type development and so has adequate parking. They have had the appropriate cosmetologist: patron ratio that ensured a short wait.
On my last visit, I was quickly greeted, gave my name and grabbed a seat near the door. When my name was called (4 minutes later), I hopped into the chair, mentioned that I was getting a buzz cut and chirped «make my hair go away». «It looks like your head is doing that all on it’s own», the stylist joked. Outwardly I laughed, while mentally I cut her tip in half.
Another five minutes later the haircut was finished and I did indeed have less hair. There were no garish left-​over patches of hair or scalp lacerations that required stitches. While I suppose that last sentence is not a great marketing tagline, yes, you can get an adequate haircut here.
