Andropolis Hair Salon

I recently went in Nov.09, but I got referred by a friend and first went to Andropolis in 2003. I realized I had a real pro on my hands. He made sure he really understood what I wanted. Ive been through many hair phases and have gone to Andropolis through it all. Whether I was getting all-over brunette color, bleached blonde highlights, a layered cut, the latest wavy style or my TTU Homecoming Queen hair styled, they always knew how to do it right. They have also won "best of lubbock" several years in a row and are have been open for 25 years, that is why I visited in the first place. Highly recommended, better quality than expensive big city salons!!!

I was referred to Andropolis by my uncle who came to tech 15 years ago. He told me that if he had know he was helping me move in (his wife told him last minute) he would have waited to get his hair cut here in Lubbock.
I have had my hair cut here numerous times. Every time, i walk in with a picture or a haircut description and David, the owner, does a perfect job.
While i do not know the rest of the staff they all seem friendly and professional.
I would definitely recommend Andropolis for anyone who is looking for a Great hair cut.

I'm shocked that anyone had a bad experience at Andropolis, they are absolutely wonderful! I have been going there since I moved to Lubbock four years ago and I'm always thrilled with my experience. Granted, I've only been worked on by Heather and the owner, but what I love about them is that they always listen to me and give me exactly what I want.

Unbelievably bad haircut, and TERRIBLE customer service.

Last year, I took my husband in to have his hair cut after he grew it out with the idea of donating it, so they had long hair to work with.

We told them we wanted something stylish but professional, as he is a therapist and needs to look polished at work. We took time to explain what sort of shape we were going for; my mother was a hairstylist so I know what is and isn't possible, and that hairstylists must work with the characteristics of the hair. We were not asking for the moon, and sure enough months later when the monstrosity had grown out we went to Bijou and they did it perfectly.

He walked out with an unholy combination of Emo, Backstreet Boy, 90's Gino, and 1st season 'Friends'. Completely not what we asked, and completely not appropriate for work!

I tried to protest once I realized what was happening as my husband depends on me for these things-- he never has any idea what to do with his hair-- and I basically was told by the guy to 'butt out as he knew my husband's hair better than I did'.

I was offended, and the guy saw I had a completely horrified look on my face when I saw what he was doing, but did not stop to check in if what he was doing was okay. When your customer is becoming visibly upset and is tearing up, perhaps you should - oh I don't know, CHECK in with them to see if they're happy with what you are doing?! My husband was humiliated by his haircut and his coworkers were astonished at it.

Even if the haircut had been bad, if the CUSTOMER SERVICE had not been so far beyond bad as to become offensive, I might have asked them to correct their mistake. With that kind of attitude though, I wouldn't have trusted them to let them at his head again. What would be next, telling me to shut up because they've decided to 'fix it' with a reverse mohawk?!

My husband stopped me from calling the manager the next day and tearing a strip off his hide. With those kinds of business practices, it's a wonder they are still around.

I have never been to the store, but they recently did a hair show at my college. They had students go up and get their hair cut right there. They did such a great job, next time I need my hair cut, I will go to them. They had the frienliest people there doing the show. Also, the were very receptive to what the 2 girls said they liked and didn't like. Also, the gave out coupons and samples of prduct. I am very excited about Andropolis!

I've gotten haircuts a few times now. I think they deliver good cuts at a reasonable price. They are speedy too which helps out when you are in a rush. One thing that bothered me about this place was that they get really upset if you break an appointment. I understand that you shouldn't do this routinely, but sometimes things come up and I think they should be understanding of this.
