Cost Cutters

I just moved to the area and needed a haircut in the worst way. My stepmother said that she had good luck here so I thought why not? I went in on Tuesday around one. There was a young lady at the counter and another in a chair nearby. Courtney, I asked her name on the way out, asked my name and said she could do it. I was a bit put off by the non-​greeting but what did I expect. She had to find a waterbottle to wet my hair, asked what I wanted and started cutting. There was no small talk at all. I was surprised that she didn’t say, «how are you today» or «nice weather.» I got nothing. What I did get though was a pretty good haircut. Small talk can be over-​rated. She said she would rather cut a little and cut more than to cut too much and not be able to fix it. I walked out with a wet head but really for 7.95 what else could I want? A smile when I walked in would have been nice but I plan to go back the next time I need a cut. Just hope Courtney is still there. If you want a quick, well done haircut and nothing else, this place is great.

I go to only one of the stylists here and that’s Monica. As for turnover, she’s been at this location for 4 years. She’s fast and fabulous.

As with all Cost Cutters they have a convenient location, located in the old Basha’s grocery store area. I’ve been here several times for hair cuts. If you come on non busy day you can expect no wait, however on busy days I’ve seen waits as long as 30 minutes. The staff seems to change quite often, I always see new faces when I go in every 4 months or so. The salon isn’t as professional as most higher end salons. While waiting one of the stylists was on the work phone speaking to a friend and was cussing and gossiping as customers were inside. I found it very unprofessional… Either way if you want a quick haircut this is one of your various choices in Tucson.
