I…read morewas tired of the assembly line like experience and always having my hair look like a 10 year old's. Cowboy Mel's is just the opposite. The folks are always kind. It's calm and relaxing. Every time I go I'm reminded of how great a quality cut feel can make a man feel. I even look forward to getting a haircut now. I highly recommend Cowboy Mel's.

The straight razor to the back of the neck is great and the quality is outstanding. Price is low as well. Anytime I'm in town, I make it a priority to stop in. Wish I went there more while I lived in the area.

Disclaimer: This is hubby's (79) first trip to a true men's barber for styling hair, beard &…read moreeyebrows. He has always believed the $5 cut is sufficient. When we entered The Patron Barber, hubby's beard was longer and way out of control sticking out the sides like filled up squirrel cheeks; he had cut {sigh} his mustache in a weird way; and, hair on top was "interesting" with all kinds of spikes, curls, etc. So, the 'before' picture is actually looking somewhat groomed. Chris made me a great mug of coffee to enjoy while he started hubby on a new journey to look perfected. The whole vibe at Patrons is wonderful. The music had me humming, while I watched Chris work magic. Well over an hour was spent, with each snip to ensure hubby would leave looking sharp and with a promise that some of those homemade mistakes could be fixed over the next few visits. The best part? Hubby totally enjoyed the pampering, getting to know Chris, and the final look. He came away with an understanding of what an expert cut would do for him. And, he's looking forward to returning! Thank you Chris Tahti

This gem, like many of the best, is somewhat hidden. Tucked away in a Maple Grove office building…read moresomewhat visible on the south side of I-94, just off Hemlock and 73rd Ave, east of Perkins. Your best bet is to make an appointment. Otherwise, you may be passed up in line by those that have them. Just walk in the front door of this office building, take a right down the hallway, and take a left at the door before you end up walking into the salon at the end of the hall. You will be pleasantly greeted by Si (pronounced 'She'), the owner and operator of this fine establishment. If you don't have an appointment, he'll let you know if you're going to be passed up by those with appointments and may ask you to make an appointment for later. This will save you time in the long run. Again, make an appointment. Si is meticulous and will not rush your cut just to get you out of the chair. He isn't slow by any means, but practiced and thorough so that you won't have to go home and see longer hairs left over from a trimmer that has been buzzed over your scalp just once in a hurry to get on to the next one. The conversation will be what you want it to be; limited for the less loquacious. He is quite good at reading personalities and will make you feel at ease. All in all, you'll get a master cut for the same price or less than the Great/Super/Fantastic/Sport joints. I know I'd rather spend my money to support the guy that cares enough to do a quality job each and every time, probably at the expense of his own bottom line.

Where do I begin with Tom?…read more Looking for a haircut? Tom can do it. So can Great Clips. The difference with Tom is that you can spend an hour getting your hair trimmed because he is truly interested in the conversations he has with you. He won't pull the whole "How's it going?" or "So what do you do for a living?". He'll be flat out honest and ask you about what interestes you. Love the Vikings? He'll tell you everything you probably don't know about them Love the Twins? He's ready to tell you how to fix that team (yet he still loves them). Love hockey? He'll tell you to leave. Tom is a great, sincere conversationalist and gives a great price for a haircut. If you want to go to sleep go to Great Clips. If you want to actually enjoy your haircut and walk away a little more knowledgeable about any topic (not just sports - in fact, we once discussed Fermat's Last Theorem to great length) then you should go see Tom. Great price, excellent quality on many levels.
