I had been here once before but was still nervous since it was just before my wedding. Well, it was PERFECT. I gave Leslie such a vague description of what I wanted and she must have read my mind or something. I could not have been happier!

Patsy's, and the Heart of a City The heart of a city doesn't…read morebeat in time to the rhythm of landmarks whose silhouettes are stamped on postcards. Its pulse doesn't shake the shopping centers or the offices or the multitudes they carry. It honors no arrhythmia before the Capitol or the architecture that has grown around it. Because it's often the case that the biggest machine lives and dies not by its most imposing part, but by the smallest pin in its center. It's easy to miss Patsy's Barber Shop if you're weaving through the traffic of State and Pearl. You have to know to take the right onto Howard Street and go slowly enough not to miss the white neon tubing that brightens the shop and casts just enough of its glow onto the sidewalk to let you see the barbers ply their trade. Patsy's opened in 1930 at the cusp of the Great Depression, when a proper haircut was a man's resume and the newspaper on the empty seat was the employment office. It was a family business, like many that had dotted the downtown and further south to the neighborhoods that would eventually be sacrificed to Nelson Rockefeller's sense of grandeur. William "Tragedy" Yager now presides over the memories absorbed into the mirrors and the padded chairs. Since 2006, he's followed in the footsteps of his great grandfather, a man who likely opened up shop as he always did on the day Japanese planes set off for infamy. And anyone who's had a seat in one of his chairs and a hot towel on their face knows that Tragedy didn't just inherit a trade; he inherited a love and a duty to everyone that crosses the threshold. A large man with a long, thick beard and a tapestry of tattoos lining both temples, he wouldn't strike you as a man you would want to meet in a dark alley. But again, the seat, the hot towel, two minutes in conversation, and you'll realize that he's exactly the man you would want to meet in a dark alley if your car broke down, if you were cold, hungry and scared, if everybody passed you by. Because there are certain things you can expect from those possessed of the instinct of leadership. But what you may not expect is that sometimes, the places where matters are truly decided accept walk-ins. Patsy's Barber Shop has two locations, 3 Howard Street in downtown Albany and Room 126 on the Concourse Level. Call for an appointment and check for hours. And be sure to patronize the many barbers Tragedy has trained personally.

I was Referred by my girlfriends who are existing clients. Angela gave me an appointment within a week....hair sight on seen.....She is Specially trained with the Deva line that deals with curly hair like mine. I told her I had a lot of hair, she told me over the phone not worry I'll book you at the end of my day so we don't have to rush, that put me at ease since I really didn't know what I wanted. I came in desperately needing a change after a very tuff year and to finally do something for myself. Angela erased all my doubts and fears I had about my hair!!! She did the most beautiful cut and color, my hair felt brightened and healthy with the exact color and tone and the cut that enhanced my natural curls that everyone thought I got a perm!! My family and friends raved about my hair! Just The uplifting I needed. But one of the nicest things is that Angela treated me like I've been her client and friend for years. I cannot wait to go back! I would highly recommend visiting and Booking with Audra and Angela.
