I used to come here twice a month and always had Sam cut my hair. He did a great job and I was so glad to find a barber that took pride in cutting hair and the way I was used to barbers cut my hair in the past. I've since moved and gone to a handful of other barbers near my house, but they don't seem to know how to cut anything other than a flattop. After my last nightmare at MUGs, I decided to ride up to Goodfellas and get a real haircut again. I walked in on a Wednesday afternoon and they seemed pretty busy. Sam had his chair full, but there was one kid (Fernando) that had an open chair. I asked for a shampoo and cut and had to remind the kid when he started to use the clippers on my hair. He said they wash after the cut because it's easier. I see why now, because as someone else mentioned, he seemed to be unable to use anything but clippers to cut hair. I asked for just a trim around the ears and it was too late he just clipped away until I had almost all my hair gone. I was furious that you could even be called a barber to cut hair like this. I felt like I was bothering him by making him work and received the most half assed massage I've ever received from Goodfellas. Sam always washed my hair first and then used scissors and THEN clippers to clean it up. Maybe this is an Arizona thing with people who claim to be barbers, but coming from the east coast, barbers never cut hair with clippers alone. I may try Goodfellas again if I make an appointment with Sam, but I would never go here again as a walk in.
