This is 2023 and Narrative Space is now almost exclusively a barber shop (they don't sell boots and…read moreshirts anymore). I looked online for a hair-cutting place that did both men and women (I am a woman). I didn't want a fancy-looking salon. Narrative has a lovely, old-fashioned look and feel. Their web site said their prices were $40, $45, or $50.00. MUCH too expensive, but I realized I was paying for ambience. My barber was Michael Clark. (One got whoever was free when you arrived.) I showed him 2 sets of drawings of the cut I wanted (front and profiles, the difference between the 2 sets being where I wanted the main curve to be: a little higher or a little lower. To begin with the outcome: The drawings clearly showed that the hair should be even with my chin. It ended up, in fact, 2 inches too short...... just below my ears. The cutting experience was very weird. On 4 occasions, he grabbed the hair at the very top of my head and repeatedly pulled it up and down, as if he were washing something on a scrub board. I don't know what on earth that was about. The way he was separating strands and cutting was quite baffling to me. There seemed to be no organization to it. Unfortunately, I was unaware of how short it was getting. I was focusing on it covering my ears. At the end, it didn't even fall nicely and I had to do some repairs when I went home. Unfortunately it was too short to do all the repairs it needed. He had paid no attention to my drawings or instructions. I knew what the price was before I sat down in the chair. This is embarrassing. I paid $70.00 for this cut.

The vibe in the shop was nice-other barbers were nice, welcoming, polite and respectful-highly recommend Fine Line and for Greg especially!

My child and their friends all get their hair cut here, and they like the results; the stylists do…read moregood work. Unfortunately, the shop is extremely unreliable. All four of them have had appointments canceled at the last minute, repeatedly. In several cases, they arrived on time for confirmed appointments only to find that the stylist wasn't coming in or the shop was closed without any notice. This has wasted a significant amount of time for both the teens and the people driving them, and it has happened far too often to overlook. As much as they like the haircuts, the lack of dependability makes this shop impossible to rely on. I recommend going elsewhere.

If you need a trim off the top, have the sides to about a 2 or 3, clean up the neck, even out your sideburns, then she's your gal. She seems very familiar with military-style cuts, which is why I believe all of Cornell's ROTC cadets come to her, but as a veteran that's what I'm used to and it feels great afterward. She's also very quick when it comes to having people waiting on her, if they even wait at all. Love all of the sports and military memorabilia and patch collections on the walls every time I walk in! Thank you Lisa for taking care of me for the past couple of years, looking forward to seeing you again!
