I am aware of different types of haircut machines and had a look; he had the top quality ones. It was all nicely laid out in front of me.
Alan and I spoke about gym, sports, and family; it was nice to hear his story. I prefer to have a conversation with my barber, and Alan was more than happy to talk.
Alhamdulilah he is a practising brother, and I wish him all the best. Hope to see you again, brother InshaAllah.
At check out, the barber insisted on me paying in cash even though I have seen them reluctantly take a card payment from a previous customer. I offered to cover any bank charges or do a bank transfer but was refused. Perhaps HMRC should find out the reason why this is. Instead of pointing me to a free cash point, they pointed me to the nearest cash point that charges ATM fees. As I only had credit cards I also had to pay my bank fees. It seems that they only care about saving themselves a peanut's amount of money over customers' welfare.
It is disappointing that sometimes you want to support small businesses and thought shops in areas like Canning Town must offer better value than say, Central London. In hindsight, Chapz Turkish Barber maybe 20% cheaper than in Central London, but the quality and hygiene etc are at least 50% lower, which makes it in fact more expensive. People sometimes forget that these places are where the real rip-off happens. It now makes me feel that my monthly trips to Central London for haircuts are worth every single penny.
In short, this is the worst haircut experience I have ever had in the last 10 years. I do not recommend this barber shop and urge other people to avoid it at all costs.
Just to be clear I just needed a haircut and a beard trim which took 20 minutes in total but they made me feel like I am cutting into a busy time in their day or wasting their time
The end result was one of the worst haircuts of my life
Also they will force you to pay cash even though they have a contactless device
I have never had such great services before until today. I recommend this shop and it deserves 10*.
