Nope, just no. I have to say that after a number of years of not going here, I just remembered why I stopped getting my haircut there in the first place. The old lady spent about 3 minutes on my head and then said thatll be $20 dollars. No fade-ins or anything, I was supposed to receive a temper taper haircut but it looked like someone just took a razor to my head, she must have been in a hurry. Im definitely not returning.

This place is great!Going here was an impulse decision that really paid off! My son goes here every other week to get a cut and shave. He has a disability that keeps him from being able to shave. They just use the finest clip available and he looks great! Best of all, he is very happy with the results, the price is reasonable, the people are great!Cant beat that with a stick!

Ted asked for a flat top and didnt get a flat top. If I was in there at the time they would not have gotten a tip.

Do not let the older ladies there cut your hair! They’re impatient, don’t follow instruction and do a rush job. A very rush job! Honestly I don’t recommend this barber, it’s alway a gamble. The cuts I’ve gotten there over the years have been inconsistent. You’re better off going to Super Cuts. If you do decide to go there DO NOT LET THE OLDER WOMEN CUT YOUR HAIR!

I had gone here several times before and had no problem but this time I got some lady I had not gotten before and she did NOT listen to the simple instructions I gave her. I told her to take 0.5 off the top and she took off at least 1.5. Now my hairstyle is pretty much ruined until the top grows out more. Do yourself a favor and DO NOT GO HERE. Feeling ugly af.

Shaved piece of my eyebrows off, I asked for a mid fade but I got a high fade and the fade was uneven which made it worst. Never going back. Do not recommend.

A coworker recommended this place for my sons haircut. I walked in to get his hair cut and it was busy which was fine. However, I ended up waiting an hour and a half just for barbers (more than one) to become free and then to tell me they dont cut young kids hair. This was my first and last time here. I couldve went to my normal spot.

This shop has been at this location for over 20 years. If you want a quality cut and service, visit Shortys. Folks that use to get cuts here as kids, are now bringing their children here. Highly recommend Shortys!

Erratic unpredictable hours. Do not go by whats on google. Multiple times I have arrived here 20 to 30 min before closing only to find no one here. They dont actually have hours posted on the door or anywhere else, so I was unable to correct the hours on google, but I can say for certain that they are not open until 8 on Sundays. They need to fix their hours on google and post them on the door as well.

I usually get my hair cut here a couple times a month. Ive never been able to catch the same barber twice. One time my cut will be perfect, the next may be close. Everyone is talented, but you have to be picky about the barber you want and wait for them to be available. Every artists eye is a little different.

This is a very well-established barbershop thats been in business for nearly three decades. Every time I come, regardless of who cuts my hair, they do a really great job. I would recommend that anybody looking for a place as a longtime solution to consider this one.

Took my 7 yr. Old to get a back to school fresh cut. Our usual barber wasnt there but still got him a cut. One of the barbers cut his hair perfectly in about 10 minutes. My son absolutely loved it and so did I. He couldnt stop smiling.

I am battling Stage 3 Breast Cancer. I specifically, told them that and told them that my hair, helps build my confidence level up and that looking good helps me keep hope and helps me feel more positive.. not only was the lady rude to me she left one top side long and the other side short.. didnt line up ANYTHING EVEN THO I SHOWED HER HOW I WANTED IT WITH A PICTURE OF ME, SHE LEFT MY LEFT SIDE BURN A LINE AND THE RIGHT SIDE WAS SQUARED!!! SO HEARTLESS AND CARELESS. SHE DID NOT DESERVE THE 20 BUCKS I GAVE HER FOR MY FAUX HAWK WITH HARD PARTED LINES :(

Ive had to change my great reveiw now... was going to this place for over 10 months every 2 weeks. Over the course of a few months there prices have junped out rageously to 20+ just for a simple fade and not only that i was waiting for my specific barber and they let someone jump in front of me who just walked in. Still great haircuts which why its 2 stars but for the price and to be cut in front of and them not care ill find a new one theres plenty around for cheaper.

Short wait times. Ample parking. And they know how to cut hair. I usually get skin fades and at the px they just dont deliver. At shorties though, its like I shaved my head with a razor blade.

Review №68

I have been going to Shortys Barber Shop for almost 20yrs.....like when she started in TILLICOM!!!! Since then, she has moved several times for a bigger shop, due to the customer growth base. Granted, 93% of the time, I saw Shorty herself....she was my barber. But when she wasnt available, I always had other staff to choose from, who I had previously tried out solely for this purpose. They are fast, they listen, friendly & have great customer service. I recommend.

I believe my hair was cut by the owner of the shop. Terrible fade. Got done in less than 3mins. It wasn’t busy at all. Don’t get a cut by her. She is a short older lady with short haircut. Go to 5 sister barbershop.

Good barber shop to get fades etc. The only down side is that you have to try out different barbers to find on you like and cuts your hair the way you like. Once you find one, you are golden!

Review №83

The Barbershop is populated with Koreans(maybe Filipinos) that are very bad at English. They have a tough time understanding you and you have to be VERY clear about how you want your hair cut. Even the times I was clear they managed to mess up my hair significantly EVERY SINGLE TIME. Whether it was giving me a fade when i didnt ask for one or pushing my hairline so far back that people thought I was balding. I am in no way racist or biased. However this shop sucks and I will never come here again. I suggest you spend your hard earned money somewhere else. I know I will.

Review №86

I asked for finger length on top and a beard trim at 1 and a half. The Asian guy buzzed my head in less than a minute and preceded to hold a mirror in my face showing me what he had done. After expressing frustration he stated he used a 4 clipper guard and then began on the beard. My hair on my head is shorter than my beard, craziest experience ever. Unbelievable, unprofessional and still in disbelief on how I was treated.

Review №88

Used to like this place, now I cant stand it. I spend a lot of money there and tip generously but feel disrespected every time I walk in. It always seems that they like to push you to the barber that THEY want, not the one you want. As soon as you walk in they call a barber from the back instead of helping you themselves, I walked out once and returned only after Shorty herself came out to ask why I was leaving, I should have kept going, because since then the vibe has been different. And the barber that came over from Kings Barber shop is as disrespectful as they come. They have a new Young Male barber that does nothing but talk all day about his other endeavors. The place just isnt all that inviting. I will NEVER go back there. The two Brothers that work there need to get their own shop and let this place go under.
