Gosh I'm very sorry about the communication break down here mark.
You did ask for it to be faded during the cut.

Fantastic experience: Just had an amazing haircut with Trina, and I couldn’t be happier. The ambiance was inviting and stylish, with retro tunes setting the perfect mood. Trina was warm, attentive, and clearly a master of her craft—she listened to what I wanted and delivered a cut that’s both fresh and flattering. Highly recommend!
Thanks so much John.

Negative experience: This place gave my friend the BEST cut in the world, Lowkey fresh as hell.
Negative experience: Seems this hairdresser isn’t setup for kids, nothing to distract so 3yo ended up looking like Jim Carrey from Dumb & Dumber. Had to go to Bay Barbers to fix it… It was cheap though so I guess you get what you pay for.
Fantastic experience: Very friendly great little Barber Shop in the Village very happy with result and price thanks
Fantastic experience: Great service, my two boys get there hair cut here and she always does a great job listening and cutting it like the pictures they show her

Fantastic experience: First time haircut at the Village Barber for Tara. What fantastic professional friendly service by Trina. She made you feel welcome. The barber shop was very clean and tidy. Good fair prices for the different services she has on offer. I highly recommend anyone needing a tidy up, trim, cut, or men wanting their beards tended to women's cuts. Also, welcome! Pop in and see Trina at "The Village Barber." You will not regret it !
Hello Christina.
Such a blessing meeting your gorgeous girl!
I know she can sing like an angel and I'd love to hear her perform someday soon.

Fantastic experience: The best haircut I have ever had! Trina and Corey were friendly and approachable. They had empathy when I shared my anxieties about having my haircut and gave comfortable talk rather than awkward small talk! If I could give more stars I honestly would! Trina did a wonderful job giving me a woman's cut and an undercut when I just walked in a little lost.
Thank you so much Torrin!
We are so pleased you are happy

Negative experience: Worst hair cut ever....said to come back if not happy so I did and got refused to fix it ...who dose a half a hair cut and refuse to fix it never ever again ...
Gary yes i did say I'd take more Off for you at the back ...but I also asked you to calm down your constant swearing in my face I don't appreciate it.
So you decided and threaten to put this up ALL over social media..I have two witnesses Gary who heard you...I'd be very careful how you handle this.
Fantastic experience: Wonderful experience with our 3 boys, highly recommend
Thank you Hayley✂️
Fantastic experience: Thank you Trina, We haven't found a great barber till now. And my son is over the moon with his fade. He's already said we will only come here for his cuts. Even if it's a 40min drive for us so worth his happiness
Fantastic experience: I have been taking my son (9) to Trina for a couple of years, with a couple of visits elsewhere when unable to get a convenient time. The cuts have always been excellent and my son always asks to come to Trina.
Fantastic experience: Really friendly and did an excellent haircut!
Thank you William!
Fantastic experience: Done both my kids hair cuts. Great service. Great prices very happy kids. Thank you very much.
Fantastic experience: Outstanding Service. She was so lovely. I am really impressed with my cut. Enjoyed my time in the chair. Awesome conversations, Awesome cut, Awesome experience. Highly recommend The Village Barber
Fantastic experience: Wonderful place to come for a haircut, Trina is very friendly, professional, and does a fantastic buzz cut. This has been my regular barber for the last 6 months, and shall remain so.
Fantastic experience: Was very very happy with service and cut. Beard trim and line up was perfect. Highly recommend
Fantastic experience: lovely service. Haircut was exactly as described, very thorough with details to ensure you get what you wanted.
Fantastic experience: Always a great cut, good chat in an easy location. Love being able to book a time slot so no waiting.
Negative experience: The lady is nice but that's where it ends. Hair cut was wonky (one side longer then the other for the blend by double the length). She was unable to do a straight edge line up for my beard, and had to use a stencil piece to guide the curved line up. She left a lot of hair on my upper cheek. Then to top it off she didn't have change so I had to run around the village to try and find change for her. Would not recommend going here. Student cuts for a premium price. perhaps should rename to men's cuts and remove the barber as the beard work is very poor. I cant reply to the shops response so ill put it here; 1) I'm glad he was pleased, I certainly was not. 2) The photo was taken no less then 1 hour after I had left your shop. 3) The beard trim was complimentary as you were unable to provide the service you advertised as I had requested. Instead you had to rely on a plastic stencil guide held to my face, in a shape which was not what I had asked for when I initially sat in the chair and we discussed the hair cut and beard trim/tidy. Had I not said anything you would have charged me for it. Never have I had a "professional" need to used a plastic guide for a beard trim. 4) Most shops also offer pay wave, which you did not have. I offered bank transfer but you did not accept. Not a major by its self but when added to the overall experience, its something prospective customer should be aware of. 5) I did not have the time available to come back and it would not be fair on you to wait until the following weekend to receive payment for services rendered. 6) You advertise "Professional Beard Trim & tidy" per your website. You advertise yourself as a "barber". This is someone who specializes in men's hair cuts, beard cuts, trims & shaves. If you require a stencil in order to provide this service, it raises questions as to the level of your skills and expertise as said "barber". Perhaps it would be wise to spend some time at an actual barber shop to learn the skills to be able to provide the service you advertise. Unfortunately my local barber moved to Aussie, so returning to him would be far from practical. I told you as such so saying this here in response to a valid complaint, I feel, is a little passive aggressive. None the less, I will continue my hunt for a barber who I can frequent. I must thank you as this experience has taught me that despite never having encountered this problem at any advertised barber shop, I should not rely on the fact that just because the shop advertises as a barber, looks like a barber and claims to be be a barber, this does not actually mean they are barber. Usually if it looks like a duck and sounds like a duck, well then its a duck... in this case the duck was a turkey.
Fantastic experience: Really nice place and vibes. Trina understands really well what you request for. Highly recommend to see her.
Fantastic experience: A+ Great haircut, nice chatting. Would recommend. See you again soon.
Fantastic experience: Wonderful experience with Trina who fit my partner and I both in at a moments notice. Friendly, knowledgeable and professional thanks Trina!

Fantastic experience: Great place for a cut. Good vibes and chats. Great work on the haircut as well. Would recommend.
Fantastic experience: I had a great experience and a top notch hair cut.
Thank you Vincent
Fantastic experience: Gave her a wild card and she done very well, great job.
Thank you Finn.
Fantastic experience: They can do ‘walk ins’ but it may be best to book an appointment. I had my beard trimmed and shaped as well as a haircut, price was good as well.
Fantastic experience: I have been coming back for the last 3-4years.Good service. Lovely lady. Easly approachable. Good booking service Easy online service. Really good cuts and will tailor to any head of hair
Negative experience: Took my son here after reading reviews but unfortunately we didn’t have the same positive experience. I asked for a #2 on sides and back and scissors on top. She didn’t use any scissors. When I asked if she could blend the top half to the bottom half I was told “this is the best I can do”. My son had cut a small piece of his own fringe which we talked about in the shop but there was no attempt made to make it look any better. She knew I wasn’t happy and offered a half price cut. Paid $12
I'm not suprised at all by your defaming comments Kylie.
As I said I had done the best I could with your son's hair due to fact that someone else had hacked ay his hair.
You were generously received a discount.. and I feel you can't please everyone...sorry I didn't live up to your expectations.
