I lost all my hair to chemo in 2014, and growing it out took forever, because of the damage to my hair follicles. My hair also came back differently textured for the first 6-9 months, with lots of grey that wasn't there before. Nick got me through that wretched period, with so much kindness and patience, as well as creative ideas for making the look work while I awaited growth. So grateful for your talent and care for all those years. Thanks, Nick. You're the best.

Since I moved to Easy Bay many years ago from the city, I have not been able to find a hairdresser I would go to regularly. So I drove to the city to see my old friend and my formal to go hairdresser. She cuts my hair short and says " see you in a year". But then she retired. On a Sunday walk, I ventured out of my usual path, and my luck struck. I passed by the corner of 44 th / Telegraph and discovered this hair salon. I searched on Yelp and read customers' praise. I called him and set an appointment. It is pandemic time, how does he handle the situation? He wore a mask. He cleaned out the room after the previous customer. He sprayed the room with an air cleanser, then left the door open for few minutes. He then led me in. He handed me an eye shield to cover my eyes which effectively protected me from any possible droplet. He handed me hand sanitizer before I left. He assessed my hair first, then asked how I would like it cut. I showed him a photo. He got right to work. My eye shield fogged up, I could not see how my hair was cut. But I felt very much at ease. Not worried about my haircut at all. After a meticulous and masterful cut, he washed my hair with a gentle scalp massage and a neck massage. This is almost the best part of the experience. Them came the layer by layer blow dry and styling. My hair turned out exactly what I asked him for, only better. K is an experienced hairstylist. He is gentle and patient. He pays attention to detail and style. You also get great music ( jazz) to enjoy and relax. I left there with a great feeling and a better look. I am so glad I found my hairdresser. Payment: he accepts credit cards, Apple Pay, and cash. So it is convenient. The appointment is easy to make. I called him. I read that you can also text him. Stress-free

Before Dan's, I was your stereotypical run-of-the-mill, early thirties man who's hair grooming…read moreregimen was the exclusive domain of SuperCuts. Quick drive, 10 min in a stool, and $20-40 later my long hair was shorter job done. Over the years I'd tried bougier establishments, they had some cute amenities but I genuinely never noticed much of a difference in quality. I was about to head out to another SuperCuts run, but my wife prevailed on me to check out this spot that apparently had a good amount of Reddit hype. "Dappr Dan", hey that's a pretty neat name, why not? I've been going to Dan's regularly now for two years, and it's insane to think that I now actually look forward to getting my hair cut. Dan's demeanor and earnest interest are excellently suited to the usual barber chop talk, and somehow despite being one of a hundred-plus regulars he sees every couple months, he can immediately pick right up where we were last talking. Beyond that, Dan's a barber who actively loves the art of his work and brings an exceptional attention to detail in delivering exceptional cuts. He is meticulous with his attention to layering, ensuring that a haircut won't just look good for a few days then get shaggy, but shines through from cut to cut. While I usually book for 45min, between our banter and his attention to detail it frequently runs to the full hour. Despite being fully booked, Dan never rushes through the work to get through to the next booking, he places his full attention and energy into each of his clients into getting it right and making folks look good. As the length of this review and the unambiguous 5 ratings hopefully convey, can't recommend this spot enough!

They just had a cancellation and said they could take me in 2 hours. I am very picky about my hair as I have baby fine hair that any accidental cut can lead to a bald spot.

As soon as she washed out the bleach I could tell the platinum was going to come out perfect which never happens. She was also amazing with her cutting skills. She had taken a before and after (I know I was really due for a cut) and I was shocked about just how badly it was needed. Highly recommend her and was very impressed in general.
