“Tales from the Whistle Stop,” laughed Hicks as Horner wiped a remnant dab of lather from the tip of his ear. “Maybe when I get down to California, I can put them in a book.” “It’s time to move on, but I am going to miss these guys and hearing all their stories I’ll never tell,” she said. Tiring of the soggy weather of the Bremerton area, she packed up the shop and moved to Carlsborg, where the Whistle Stop operated out of the old post office building for several years.īefore setting up her current location, Horner went mobile, packing up her scissors and razor and visiting the homes of loyal customers from Discovery Bay to Port Angeles. “So I thought back to my dad and the trains and came up with the Whistle Stop.” “I almost called it Joe’s Tonosorial Parlor, but a friend of mine said that sounded like a house of ill-repute,” she said. Horner said she wanted an old-timey-sounding name when she set up her barber business after attending barber school on a grant from state timber funds. “I was the princess of the rail yard,” she remembered. Horner has been a railroad buff since she was a child growing up climbing on steam engines in Indiana while her father, a locomotive engineer, worked. The company is headquartered in Dale City, Virginia. It employs 1-5 people and has 0M-1M of revenue. Horner originally set up the Whistle Stop Barber Shop in Manette, a small town that has been absorbed by Bremerton. Last Stop Barber Shop is a company that operates in the Cosmetics industry.
#LAST STOP BARBER SHOP UPDATE#
I recommend the owner update the hours on the door if their barbers are going to be coming in outside of business hours of operation and Isaac needs to learn a lesson in service because he lost a loyal customer.“I won’t cry if you don’t,” said Bob Hicks, who has had his hair cut and his beard trimmed by Horner since moving to Sequim in the late 1990s.įor now, she plans to move to Vallejo, Calif., to live near her children and their families. After years of going here to be treated like this, like we didn't even have any rapport and with an attitude, I won't be back. I've never missed an appointment in the past and I'm never late, and I told him I'm completely reasonable and understand why they have the policy, but this was a circumstance where they were not clear with their customers on the special hours arrangement. I asked for a refund and to reschedule the appointment, and he said he'll do this one time, but if I miss again in the future I'll pay for the missed appt and the next appt because he could have filled that appt spot with another person. How would I know this? There was no indication on the appointment scheduler. He said he's been doing this for the last 3 months. I mentioned the hours on the door, the unlit open sign, and he responded that he takes appointments prior to opening, but everyone else comes in at 9:50 am. He got an attitude with me, and said that he was there prior to 9 am. I told him that their scheduler must be wrong because I came at 9 am and they were closed. I called, expecting to receive the voicemail and leave a message to dispute this, but to my surprise Isaac answered. Then I received a text saying that I missed my appointment, and was going to be charged for the missed appointment. So, I assumed that their online scheduler app must have been incorrect because why would appointments be available prior to opening. When I pulled up to the shop, the lights were out, the open sign was off, and the hours posted on the door stated 10 am to 6 pm. I typically go in the afternoon, but due to my busy schedule, I needed the earliest appointment. Isaac has been my barber for at least the last 2 years. I have a chicken supply business down the street. I've been going to 1 Stop since it opened.
