Hank’s Barber Shop

Hank’s is where my man as a young boy was taken to get his hair cut. This is an old timer barber shop in the black community so I was very excited for my Grandson to get his first haircut from Hank. When we walked into his empty shop it almost seemed as an inconvience for us to be there. I guess my skin was not dark enough to warrent us being there. I found this a bit disturbing. I might be jumping to conclusions but I would really put money on it. We asked if he could do the first hair cut and his response was to grab a plank of wood and put it on the arms of his barber chair and made the statement «it depends on if he is good or if he is just bad». He did not attempt to make my Grandson feel comfortable in this new experience. I was actually a bit sad. I tried to hint to my daughter that we should try to come back another time. IE: Lets just leave. My daughter wanted to give Hank an opportunity to make this awesome. It did not! Hank said «yea, that boy is just bad». Why would you ever tell that to a customer especially when your shop is almost always empty? We tried again by explaining what kind of cut she would like for her son to have and his face went blank even though it was on his own picture board of different cuts. We ended up leaving and makiing it seem as if my Grandson just wasn’t ready.
OWNER: I apologize for bothering your day. :-(You might want to treat your customers better and actually act like you want to make some money. So much for trying to make a family tradition. We went to Supercuts and Kattie had no problems with doing what you should have. Shame on you!
THIS IS NOT A PLACE FOR KIDS!
