Fantastic haircuts at a super reasonable price!…read more First time visiting - walked in at 11:00, two barbers working, both seats occupied but I was in a chair within 2 minutes. Learned that the business has been there since the 1960s and was across the street from the 1940s until they moved there. Two third generation barbers just doing what they do best. Cutting hair and solving all the world problems - what could be better. By the way - haircut was $10!!!

I have a full year membership, so by default I'm a fan, though I am having doubts about renewal…read more It's a fairly small gym, with weight machines, cardio machines, a weight room and a class room. I can never make the classes because it's straight after work or early in the morning. If you need tv while cardio-ing, then you need to bring a radio that tunes into the tv frequencies, I don't really care for it so it doesn't bother me. I don't do the tanning & salon, but they have that too. In fact, most of the cars in the parking lot are tanners, the gym area is usually empty. The weight room can get crowded, but it's not bad. The gym doesn't smell bad, and if it does you can prop open one of the doors. The worst is when somebody axe effects the entire locker room and then it's just plain nasty. I don't shower in the gym because the water smells kinda funks, but they do have hand sanitizers all over the place. One thing that annoys me is the limited weekend hours, especially on Sunday, when it closes at 3pm.

So I was on a business trip. It's hard to get my workout in on the road, but I found this place and…read morethey had a drop in rate. So I thought I'd give it a try. First they advertise all of these amenities, but when I asked for a masseuse she wasn't there and apparently you have to book two weeks out. WTF? Then I worked out on some exercise machines. It was a push day and there just weren't enough machines to do those sets. Now if they had free weights they were hidden because 8 never saw them. I like to finish up with some cardio. Now these they had plenty of. So I chose a bike and set to spinning. And they have an app to listen to TV on your phone. Wow that's great. Set up my headphones and started laughing and working out to Modern Family. Until the sound didn't sync up to the show. It was like watching a Chinese Martial Arts movie dubbed over in English. Remember those on Saturday afternoons? So that sucked. And then the bike shut down so there went any stats that was being recorded. Ok so that was enough. Decided I'd go get a manicure since I saw her there when I walked in. Oh no she left 10 minutes ago. How about we post the hours so your customers know And to tip it off no towels and no lockers either? Where do your regulars change! So hopefully I never have to go back to Potsdam again. If so I'll go find a big rock to work out with. This place was not worth it.

Horrible!!! Wanted a completely different hair color than what I got!! Went back for her to fix it…read moreand I should have just left it as it was and went elsewhere to " fix it". Waste of money and waste of time. The worst hair dyeing job ever--- looks like I did it myself with a $1.00 store box of dye!!! Got RED first time and got MORE BRASSY NASTY RED the 2nd time!!! So upset!! Now I have to spend more money somewhere else for someone to fix this mess--- but I need to wait several weeks before I can even afford to !!? . NICE PEOPLE BUT NEVER AGAIN!!

So I first heard about Shear Creations from my mom and sister in law. They see a woman named…read moreCrystal, I went there and loved the results. I'm 25% Colombian so you can only imagine how thick, curly, and easily tangled my hair is/can get. My hair wasn't even frizzy when she was done with it. I got a deep condition, cut, and style (straightened) for only $36 AND the quality of work was to par with what I'm used to in the city. Recently I had some traumatic situations happen in my life causing me to put my hygiene on the back burner, I ended up with a "birds nest" for hair. It was one giant dread lock.. mind you my hair was almost to my waist. I was afraid of the inevitable cut I would need since I'm a big girl and it isn't hard making a cubby woman look butchy, Crystal was awesome!! She did the perfect short cut that framed my round face due to chubby cheeks and I love the options I have with my hair now. Crystal is great to converse with and gives you quality over just trying to get you done so she can move to another client. 2 hours of tedious cutting, washing repeatedly and straightening all the small pieces and she only wanted $22. I suggest this place, ever since they relocated a few months ago the hairdressers are awesome. Jackie is another woman there who can even do a keratin treatment, I only go to Shear Creations for my hair care needs.

I have been getting my hair cut by Kara for over two years now. There was a mix up on the phone and…read moreI had my most recent trim done by Sarah instead. She did a good job so I asked if she could book me an appointment with her to touch up the color in my ombre styled hair... Big mistake. My hair looked like I had patchy golden highlights with a root that had grown in for over six months! I thought I would be okay with it, but upon arriving home an hour later I called the salon and asked if the damage could be fixed. I decided to ask for a refund and had my hair fixed elsewhere because why have more damage done to my hair if it could not be done right the first time...? I was told "I don't think we can do a refund" and was out $90... On top of this, while my hair was processing SUNY Potsdam students were outside peacefully protesting. Sarah took the time to go outside and yell, "White Power" as well as make horrific comments to those inside the salon ("I am not racist, but...")... some of whom joined in with the racist banter. Needless to say I will not be going back to Shear Creations anymore. I am appalled the lack of respect for long time customers, but more so for the African Americans in our community.

The hairdresser is nice and friendly, and tries to listen to your directions. They do have a whole bunch of fancy equipment and hair products, but it doesn't really apply to me. The price isn't bad $15 + tip, but considering the barbershop is $6 + tip and better quality men's haircut, it's hard to give the magic comb more than 2 stars for men's haircut.
