My kid came home with the absolute worst haircut I've ever seen. Crooked neckline, different length on each side, loads of random long hairs. He went to some kind of nationwide chain. I took pictures, called them and they didn't seem to care one way or another. Eventually they offered him a store credit. I ended up fixing his hair myself and he got his freebie another day. When that was also kinda butchered he learned his lesson. A good barber is hard to find.

It's a decent tip. Especially considering the poor haircuts he's had.

My barber is from Puerto Rico, charges $25, and you get: hair, beard trim and/or shave, eyebrows and even your ears. It takes minimum 30 minutes but he goes over your hair about 10 times, when you leave there's never a stray long hair. I tip him $10. If I call for an appointment I always get in. Gotta pay the good ones

Sweating you over a $5 tip and you still went back? You brought this upon yourself. I've been in an eerily similar situation, time to find another barber shop.
