Walked into a barbershop in Nashville and walked right back out

Stopped in Nashville last Saturday for a quick trim while on a job. Place had great reviews online, looked clean from the sidewalk. I sat down and the guy asks what I want. I say just a fade and lineup, nothing fancy. He nods and starts buzzing. Ten minutes in he stops and says 'you got a lot of cowlicks back here, man' and before I can say anything he's already carved some weird part into the side of my head. I didn't even know I had a cowlick there. I just paid the 45 bucks and left. Drove back to my hotel and stared at the mirror for way too long. Who does a part without asking first? Is that a common thing now or did I just hit a bad shop?
