Head Husky Barber Styling Shop / Unique Art Gallery

Quick service bad haircut. I went in for a drop in appointment and was met with a very empty barbershop. I asked for a simple french crop, which any barber should know what that is, and was met with a "What's that?" I should've walked out right then and there but I figured how bad could it be. So I showed her a few reference images and she went to cutting right away. I was pretty nervous when she got to cutting because of all the bad reviews but I figured since I'd seen a few good reviews, how bad could it possibly be? So I just let her do her work and it was my first time getting a french crop so I wasn't entirely sure about how it would turn out. As time went on and the haircut started to take its shape, she asked me, "Is this length good?" I had maybe a inch and a half left of my 5-6 i

The head barber knows her stuff. Anything ranging from short to long, ethnic and straight, never mattered, she knew how to take care of it. I've had several friends go to her in the past and raved; repeat clients almost always. She can be a tad of a talker, so be warned, but it's part of the charm, I think.

To misquote Forrest Gump, "I'm not a handsome man..." (or young) but when I come out of Head Husky I look as good as I can. Frankly, when Holly starts cutting, I'm a little nervous. She dives right in and I'm wondering why she's cutting so quickly. (She's a great conversationalist and we don't always agree, so maybe... 😉) However, those hands have seen thousands of heads and they know exactly what they're doing. Forget that one guy on Reddit - she's good. I know what I want and Holly always delivers.

TL;DR - I had a lousy experience with Holly and I was devastated with the result. The haircut was fast as it lasted only 10 minutes and had a minimal wait as she had no customers when I had arrived with the place clean and the equipment well kept. Her personality was very irritating as she frequently tries to gaslight if you disagree with her and she does not blame herself if she had made the mistake. As stated "Maybe next time you should have brought a picture as a reference" and "Hmm your barber didn't blend your hair correctly". I had grown out my hair to have bangs and she ruined six months of my work in a matter of minutes. I explained with her "a little bit off the top and fade the sides and back. The front should be up to my eyebrows" and I left with a lot off the top and no traditi

Holly is one of those annoying barbers when you explicitly tell her how you need to get your hair cut, she just cuts it the way she thinks it should be cut while verbally telling you that this is what you asked for. I’ve been here a couple times and it’s always the same. I’m done. We need better barbers here at UConn, it’s a shame what happened to North campus barbers.
