So imagine the courage it required, to get my hair cut here. I literally sat in my car for 15 minutes and watched two barbers work, then went inside and waited 15 more minutes before being called. I have an important meeting in the morning and my hair was down over my collar, I was desperate and willing to take the gamble. It was a gamble because I'm an old guy, bald and conservative, just wanting to look plain and trimmed - no fancy hair-do cuts!
My barber was a young man, said his name is " T ". He asked me how I wanted my hair to look and I explained, "... off my collar... shortened everywhere... left full with a trim-line across the back... and the sides able to be combed straight back." He said okay and went to work.
He wetted my hair all over, gathered and shortened it with hand scissors all over, trimmed tight around my ears and blended the sideburns with my beard. Then he blow dryed my hair completely and went back over again with hand scissors.
I was in the chair for maybe 20-25 minutes. My hair looks clean, groomed and natural. More importantly, it doesn't look like I just got a haircut!
I asked how much was the cut, he said if I'm over 66 years old, it would be $15.00. I paid him $20.00 cash.
Lets be fair. Where can you get a perfect trim and blend for $15.00? I was a walk-in and they got me in the chair quickly. The barber did a great job! The facility is clean, with a waiting room and television. It's a 4-chair shop, there's off street parking and they're open till 7:00 PM. What more should it take to get a 5-Star rating?
See the pictures below, that's me in the chair and "T" cutting my hair; see how long it was in back?!?! The pics of the back of my hair were later at home after I messed up my hair a bit. It still looks totally natural.
(ha... my review took longer than the hair cut.)
Lesson: If you do a good job in life, you don't have to "hype" yourself. Eventually you will earn and receive the credibility you deserve. read more
