In addition to this, the owners have said "Shahab is like family to them" however they are always reluctant on discounts and called Shahab "Stingy" over discounts because they believe £27 is justifiable for a haircut without the beard just because they are located in Kensington. This branch was short staffed today and that clearly shows the barbers they hire don't like the working conditions and some of them are not good at their jobs.
What astonishes me above all is that they had the audacity to wait until halfway through the haircut to shout at him as to why he left a negative review instead of approaching him after the haircut to speak to him in a calm and professional manner. On this occasion, it goes to show that this was personal and not professional, and above all my friend Shahab throughout the whole argument kept his composure and kept his calm and shows how he kept it professional. These owners need to respect their customers and never take reviews personally as we live in a free country with freedom of speech therefore he did not deserve to be attacked and abused in this unprofessional and disgusting manner.
This shop needs to reassess its whole culture and ethos and retrain staff on how to respect customers. The owners today explicitly asked Shahab to specifically change the structure of his review to reflect positively rather than negatively and they demanded he changed his 1-star review to over 4 stars. The two Iranian babers who started this entire complaint in the first place were Keyvan and Edo. These two said to Shahab on many occasions "that whether Shahab leaves the shop as a loyal customer or not they don't care". This shows customer loyalty means nothing to them.
I would like to also mention that on many occasions the owner was not so keen on giving discounts and had a go at his staff members for giving Shahab a few pounds off the total cost.
My friend Shahab has been visiting this shop since 2019 and this is how they repay his loyalty. He will not be going back ever again after this incident and I highly do not recommend this place to anyone. You are better off cutting your own hair by yourself.
Shame on all of you for disrespecting a long time loyal customers.
Will never be visiting this place ever again. I highly do not recommend it at all!!!!
