### 2/5 — Crashes with Facebook Login

*2020-09-16, version 6.1.6*

The app will crash every time I attempt to log in through facebook. I tried creating a new account without linking it to FB but the app asks me to verify my phone which is linked to the facebook login account i already have... madness. If you can use the app, great. If not, straight up not worthy it

### 1/5 — SCAM: Charged me in advance and never showed up

*2020-05-29, version 6.0.7*

Don’t bother, app is fake with no response from the “help” functions of the app or the barber

### 1/5 — SCAM

*2020-05-20, version 6.0.7*

All these good reviews you see here are sketchy and seem fake, but I downloaded the app anyways. To my not so surprise it sucked! Just want to take your money!

### 1/5 — Not worth it

*2020-03-09, version 5.6.0*

Super unprofessional stylists.... the convenience doesn’t exist. Canceled haircuts, poor quality, late barbers.... obnoxious

### 1/5 — Deleted this app after they sent me someone who ruined my wig

*2019-06-12, version 5.3.6*

This place is ridiculous they don’t screen anybody they just send you whoever they feel like it. Their system is stupid you can’t even preview the pros before you do much with them you have to pay for them through the app and you can’t talk to them otherwise. This woman came to my house said she knew what she was doing but ruined my entire lace wig and made a horrible cut out of it I was in tears and if not for my favorite Stylist fixing it I would be suing this goddamn woman.

### 1/5 — No one in my area?

*2019-01-28, version 5.2.0*

I live in our nations capital. I downloaded the app and much to my dismay, there is no one in the DC area to come to your house and do your hair. You have got to be F-ing kidding me

### 1/5 — Can’t remove phone number - avoid

*2018-12-04*

Asks for phone number but if you change your mind about the app, you can’t delete it. Not recommended.

### 1/5 — Pathetic

*2018-09-24, version 4.2.1*

Totally useless app. No services are offered in my area, and I’m not exactly in Siberia. Why roll this out if it’s not ready to actually serve the top US markets.

### 5/5 — G-G-Gerome!!

*2018-08-30, version 4.1.9*

Great job on the cut. Nice guy. He’s a little younger than he looks in the pic but, that’s ok! He’s coming back to the beach to do another service tomorrow.

### 5/5 — Shortcut is the bomb

*2018-08-23, version 4.1.9*

Love Shortcut! Who doesnt want the convenience of a stylist to come to you? It’s a great service And the stylists are always superb. Highly recommend.

### 1/5 — This is scam

*2021-12-31, version 7.3.2*

They will charge you in advance and not show up

### 1/5 — CREEPY MARKETING SPAM

*2021-11-18, version 7.3.2*

DO NOT TRUST THESE CREEPS. Downloaded the app once, when it was first launched, to check it out; deleted it. YEARS AGO. Never created an account or agreed to any communication or info sharing. Got a spam text today using my first name and directing me to open the app. Will be notifying Apple. Will also be looking in to any class action lawsuits that stop this invasive behavior.

### 1/5 — Horrible service

*2021-05-15, version 7.2.5*

Booked a barber, he canceled at the last minute, then the support concierge simply tried to reschedule me with the same guy the next day. Really tons-deaf and shows a lack of concern for customers. Do not recommend.

### 1/5 — Not compatible

*2021-05-09, version 7.2.5*

I have an iphone SE 1st gen. My phone is still supported and gets latest updates as far as I know. But it has a small screen. When I enter the app, I get a pop-up with covid-19 info. The button is far too down for me to click it. It’s been made only for bigger phones. Thus I cannot say how good this app is, bc it’s unusable for me

### 1/5 — Not Available

*2021-01-24, version 7.0.0*

They make you download the app and login to tell you they’re not available in your area.

### 1/5 — Nope

*2021-01-22, version 7.0.0*

I live in DC metro. 2 stylists in my area.  Texted concierge for other options - no reply.  App is a cool idea but the implementation is underwhelming.  Delete.

### 1/5 — Unqualified stylists ranked as ‘Shortcut VIPs’

*2020-11-13, version 7.0.0*

I got my hair cut by a man on the VIP list. I wanted thin, face framing strands right in the middle — chin length. After chopping a thick chunk of hair way too short right off the bat, he attempted to layer it into my hair, cutting more of my hair shorter and shorter. The result was a choppy uneven mess that I had to clip up for a month, and am still attempting to grow out. During the process he admitted to me he had been fired from hair salons before and that’s why he went to shortcut. He told me he didn’t really know how to frame women’s faces (a fact he should have told me before the cut when I asked him if he could do it). He said “but you believed I could do it couldn’t you, because I talk so confidently”. Made me really uncomfortable and took forever to leave after the cut. Shortcut comped the cut, but I explained the situation to them. I don’t want this happening to other women. They reassured me that they would handle it, yet here he is two months later still on the top of the VIP list. Probably could’ve had a better haircut at great clips. Really disappointed in the lack of response from Shortcut and I sincerely hope this doesn’t happen to anyone else. Will not be using this app again.

### 1/5 — App won’t open

*2020-10-12, version 6.1.10*

Bugs out every time I open the app on iOS 14.0.1

### 1/5 — App won’t stay open

*2020-08-25, version 6.1.6*

App closes almost immediately every time

### 1/5 — What! Not Enough to even waste my time

*2020-07-07, version 6.1.1*

Just tried to get a simple haircut appt. and if I had even had the chance to get one even in the next few days, that would of been great but instead they did not want to come for one appt. little did they know I would of had a whole bunch set up the next time ! Their Loss!

### 5/5 — Perfection

*2022-10-09, version 7.3.2*

So grateful to have access to shortcut to come come, color, style, and blow out my hair at my home.   Have had them come to my home many times and loved each person who came.  Professional, clean, friendly stylists who do an amazing job!  Can’t wait for my next service.

### 5/5 — Customer for life!

*2022-03-27, version 7.3.2*

Fantastic app. Been using Shortcut now for 3 months and won’t go back to anything else.

### 5/5 — Great Cut Jose

*2021-10-08, version 7.3.2*

See you again at the next appointment!

### 5/5 — Great American app, excited for full UK rollout

*2021-05-14, version 7.2.5*

UK App Store reviews don't seem to understand that the sharing economy aspect is only in the US, where it's great!
Can't wait for Shortcut to roll out here to complement the in-salon Joe&co option already available.

### 5/5 — Haircut

*2021-01-26, version 7.0.0*

Pedro was very professional,awesome barber and great personality

### 5/5 — Alivia is kind and talented!

*2020-03-08, version 5.6.0*

So glad Alivia is able to come to my house. Love how she cuts my hair. Very detailed. And I don’t have to go to a smelly salon! Thanks!

### 5/5 — Great service!

*2019-08-15, version 5.4.3*

Uber for haircuts! Convenient, easy and high quality. Plus my hair looks better than ever. My barber was legit too! Definitely going to use this again.

### 5/5 — Awesome service

*2019-05-02, version 5.3.4*

Good service

### 5/5 — Easy to use and SO convenient

*2019-02-22, version 5.2.6*

Great app design, service makes my life so much easier AND helps me support independent stylists and barbers. 10/10!

### 5/5 — Super easy

*2018-11-14, version 5.1.1*

First time ShortCut user, booked Borukh for a quick haircut for a wedding. His tools were clean and the haircut was crisp. He took his time and even gave his own input when I wasn’t too sure what to get. I was fully satisfied and he cleaned up after himself. So much more convenient than waiting at an actual shop. 5 stars
