I've driven past Barber One in the Crossing Shopping Center countless times but never thought to stop in. Well, being 37 weeks pregnant, preparing for a baby shower, and realizing my 2.5-year-old desperately needed a haircut, I was officially in last-minute mom mode!
I called and was able to schedule an appointment with Aidan, and let me tell you, he was AMAZING!
First impressions? Don't let the outside fool you because the inside is such a pleasant surprise! The shop is incredibly clean, smells fantastic, and has such a cool atmosphere. The graffiti wall was an instant hit with both me and my kiddos!
Now, let's talk about Aidan, because he absolutely deserves the recognition!
From the moment my son climbed into his chair, Aidan was patient, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. Since this is my first little boy, I'm still learning all the men's barber terminology, and Aidan took the time to explain everything without making me feel silly for asking. He even walked me through how to properly style my son's hair and which products to use. Turns out I've been using products that are WAY too heavy for his hair! Who knew?!
What impressed me most, though, was how Aidan interacted with my son. For the majority of the haircut, my little guy did great, but as any parent of a 2.5-year-old knows, sitting still only lasts so long!
When the wiggles started, Aidan didn't miss a beat. He was incredibly patient, worked with my son's movements, and never once made him feel like he was doing something wrong. Just as importantly, he never made ME feel uncomfortable or like I wasn't doing enough to help. As a mom, that kind of kindness and understanding means more than people realize.
The entire shop had such a welcoming atmosphere. I believe there were six barber chairs, and every single person we encountered was friendly and kind.
We came in desperate for a last-minute haircut and left having found our new barber!
We will ABSOLUTELY be back, and you better believe I'll be booking with Aidan again!
If you're looking for a great barber, especially for your little ones, I cannot recommend Aidan at Barber One enough. Great haircut, great atmosphere, and most importantly, genuinely good people.
Thank you, Aidan, for making what could have been a stressful toddler haircut such a wonderful experience!
