### 1/5 — Hard to login

*2025-08-07, version 1.5*

I always have issues with logging in

### 1/5 — Useful for one thing

*2025-06-20*

The only thing this app is useful for is scheduling appointments. Users cannot change memberships, update payment methods, etc. What is the point of the app and why is there no customer service support option for this company?  My cashier at the store should not be the support person.

### 2/5 — Not great app

*2025-02-05, version 1.5*

Needed to reset my password, I did successfully and every time I log in it reverts back to login screen.

### 1/5 — S&S is five star, app is negative 14 star

*2025-01-24, version 1.5*

If you want me to keep paying for the subscription service and drinks at the bar, fix this trash app. It doesn’t need to be amazing, just functional. I should not have to log In every time 14 times.

### 2/5 — App is subpar

*2025-01-21, version 1.5*

The app experience is incongruent to the experience in the physical location. I consistently struggle to get into the app. Often times it requires getting out of the app and back in multiple times to see my credentials populate via stored passwords in iOS. It feels like they’re using a mobile webpage to give the illusion of using an actual application.

### 2/5 — App no longer usable

*2024-12-04, version 1.5*

This review is for the app only! Unfortunately, this app just doesn’t work anymore. It makes me sign in every time and then asks me for my preferred shop, but the shops in Washington DC are not listed! I couldn’t book my appointment via the app, so I had to go to the website. I hate giving 1 star for a service I absolutely love so here’s 2 stars instead. Again this is for the app only! LOL

### 1/5 — Start over

*2024-08-01, version 1.4*

App is useless, never lets me see an upcoming appointment or modify one!  Lists services from very beginning versus the last one booked (this is backwards)

### 2/5 — App NEEDS WORK BADLY

*2024-05-01, version 1.4*

The locations and service is great, but this app is terrible. Fix it. Now. So frustrating.

### 1/5 — Great service, horrible app

*2024-03-28, version 1.4*

App is slow, constantly requires re-logging in, doesn’t remember preferences, and often shows wrong information (for example, been using it for years and it occasionally still offers me “first time” offers).

### 1/5 — Junk

*2024-01-21, version 1.2*

Can’t even login to get an appointment

### 2/5 — Why so many stars for this APP?

*2024-01-11, version 1.2*

People are giving such great reviews, but it’s not for the app, it’s for the barbershop. Save the barbershop review for Google. This app is pure garbage. I’ve deleted it. Easier to use the website. You have to sign in every single time and it usually signs you out while you’re on it but that’s not the worst part. I like to use password manager to sign in however, this app won’t let you do it the easy way. Instead, you have to copy and paste and even that doesn’t work good.

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2023-10-25, version 1.2*

This app is hot garbage. Won’t even let me sign in and it’s been like this for over a year. These 4 and 5 star reviews must be for the haircut

### 1/5 — App keeps crashing

*2023-09-23, version 1.2*

App keeps crashing and can’t log in!

### 1/5 — App does not start

*2023-09-22, version 1.2*

Crashes on boot

### 1/5 — How does this app have 4.5 stars

*2026-08-02, version 1.5*

It escapes all logic how high this app is reviewed. This companies entire software stack makes me cringe as a software engineer. Ive never gone through sign in successfully on one try and my account is permanently set to a new account so it won’t show me the right options for haircuts. Simply horrible.

The vibe coded splash of paint they added doesn’t fix the architecture issues making logging into this app a nightmare. Scrapping and rebuilding it is the only answer.

### 1/5 — Not great

*2026-07-01, version 1.5*

The app design is fine, but reservations never work!

### 1/5 — Glitchy

*2026-05-14, version 1.5*

The app is glitchy AF, doesn’t tell you if you have credits or not for your haircut, and doesn’t like when you go backwards in your booking process

### 1/5 — Great Place, Garbage App

*2026-02-27, version 1.5*

I don't write reviews. So when I do, you know it's meaningful. This app is a dumpster fire. In this digital age, that's beyond unacceptable. It never recognizes my membership discount when booking, logs me out half the time, when I hit back it sends me to the home page instead of back one page. If this place wasn't so awesome, I'd ditch them because of this app experience alone. (Talk about lucky.) For the love of all that is holy, please fix this. Until then, I have to save the website as an app snippet to my phone and use that instead.

### 1/5 — Service is great. App is terrible

*2025-12-01, version 1.5*

See title

### 1/5 — Great barber, garbage app

*2025-10-16, version 1.5*

I love S&S, but their app is possibly the least user-friendly app in the AppStore. I’d list specifics but I don’t have all day.

### 1/5 — Account Deleted

*2025-10-02, version 1.5*

Apparently the only support for this app is the physical store locations. My account says it’s deleted on the app which states to call the store to have it corrected. They see my account as active but the app continues to say it’s deleted so I can’t do anything. Why is there no customer support for this pathetic app?

### 1/5 — BROKEN APP

*2025-09-12, version 1.5*

The app is dead as of a few weeks ago. Nothing shows up when app opens. Deleting and reinstalling app does nothing.

### 1/5 — App never works

*2025-08-27, version 1.5*

It never works

### 5/5 — The place to be

*2026-05-24, version 1.5*

So I’ve been going to this place for almost two years and I’ve had to change to a different shop and the service is just as awesome I’m glad I’ve come across this place

### 5/5 — Great atmosphere

*2025-04-22, version 1.5*

Scotch and scissors is hands-down, my favorite spot. Fantastic haircut, you get a mid month up-keep and great place to meet clients after work!

### 5/5 — Legit

*2024-01-18, version 1.2*

This place is legit. Period. Men deserve spa days too. Stay up Kings!

### 5/5 — Love the place, But the app is needs work

*2023-12-24, version 1.2*

I really enjoy getting my haircuts at S&S, especially when Lisa C is the one doing it. She's great at her job and we always have engaging conversations. However, the app really needs improvement.

Major Issue: The app logs me out every time I access the notifications by scrolling down from the top. This is absurd and needs urgent attention.

Suggestions for Enhancement:

1) It would be helpful if the app could remember my favorite stylist and my last haircut style. This would make it easier to choose another stylist if my usual one isn't available.

### 5/5 — My Stylist & Services at S&S

*2023-02-22, version 1.2*

My stylist is Alyssa and there are not enough good things to say about her!!!!  Not only is she the best stylist I have found since moving to Iowa but she is just an amazing young woman. She has become a dear and beloved friend as well!  Yes I am giving S&S 5 stars but it is because of this fabulous young woman and I must admit the 5 star treatment I get there too! With great love!

### 5/5 — Updated version works 👌🏼

*2023-01-13, version 1.2*

The new version is MUCH improved. It now saves my login info and actually works like an app and not a web browser within an app. Great upgrade!update.

### 5/5 — Fantastic!

*2019-11-17*

I love the way I’m able to navigate the app to learn more about my potential barber and the shop. Super easy and convenient to use!

### 4/5 — Apple Wallet

*2025-01-02, version 1.5*

Create a way to download membership card to apple wallet

### 3/5 — App needs work

*2024-04-13, version 1.4*

App won’t accept passwords entered from 1Password so you have to do the copy and paste. 

Why does it constantly log me out?

Why do I have to remind it what my store is?

Love the service but the application needs improvement!

### 3/5 — Great Place..App is something to be desired.

*2023-07-16, version 1.2*

Love coming to this barber shop but the app is glitchy. It randomly signs me out or won’t sign me in at all(keeps redirecting to sign in page), and every time I log in, I’ve got to scroll through and pick my location before I can do anything which is very annoying, I’ve even had the app get stuck on the booking page pages and even after closing the app, it  opens back up to the same page. Only fix I’ve found is deleting and reinstalling the app.
