I visited Dave's after work last night and got a great hair cut. I have thick, Mediteranian hair…read morewhich should be pretty easy to cut properly, but I got fed up with chain stores where sometimes you get a good cut, and sometimes not. He also didn't ask for my name/age/address/birthday etc to enter into a computer. Dave's is a classic barber shop that's apparently been in the family for two generation. It has all the classic barber shop stuff around, like straight razors, "unbreakable" combs, and bottles of bay rum that look like they actually get used. The walls are covered with eclectic... stuff. Old hunting decoys, fishing knives. Guy stuff. It looks kind of like a man cave, which is just fine by me. I had the opportunity to shoot the shit with Dave for a while. Turns out, they don't take plastic and I didn't have any cash or a check book on me. My wife dropped me off, so I had to wait for her to come back with some cash. She was in a store and didn't get my calls. Dave kept the place open for me (they close at 6:00 on weekdays) and we both waited for over a half hour, talking about sports, hunting, junk scavenging, you know, stuff you expect to talk to your barber about. I apologized for keeping him, but Dave was very welcoming and didn't want me to worry. (Almost) anyone can cut hair, but it's pretty clear that Dave wants repeat customers and is willing to work for it.

He cut off my mullet without discussing it with me. He said it was because of split ends. I may…read morehave had some, but 5 inches of hair didn't need to be removed. Even if it did need to be, I had already told him I was attending a wedding this weekend. He should've given me the choice to wait until after then to make such a severe change. Hairstyles are a part of a person's identity, and a guy puts a lot of trust in a barber to maintain it. He betrayed that trust. When I said as much, his casual "well sorry man" response did not feel genuine.

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.
