The atmosphere was cool, but my cut was not. The blending of the fade was good, but my hairline was horrible. Even with the use the pencil the barber cut it back to far. Seriously, it was anywhere from a .25 -.50 inches back. Wow! I know, thats was I said. I'm not sure if the barber messed up at some point and tried to fix it, if so it was a bad idea. It took 3 weeks for my hairline returned to a somewhat normal state. Barbers are supposed to artists and I hope the barber who cut my hair knows that. Take pride in your profession.
