If you're in a hurry, I'll put it to you in one sentence: I drive almost 30 miles one way to get my haircut here.
I tell my friends and co-workers this, and they look at me like I have two heads, three arms, and five eyes. Do you all know how hard it is to find a good barber? I've found mechanics and doctors, though barbers it seems are a whole 'nother ball game.
I started going to Kim in High School, you know that time when you grow out of your mom cutting your hair, and stayed through most of college After I graduated I moved to the South Shore, and have been looking for a good barber in this area. Here are the cliff notes:
Shop in Quincy: Requested zero to the whole head, doesn't do a second pass and leaves lots of little hairs that drove me berzerk until it grew in.
Shop in Weymouth: I spent 30 minutes extra in the chair because apparently "two one top, one on the sides" is open to a lot of interpretation. I know what I want, thank you very much.
That's it, no more searching and getting terrible overpriced haircuts. Here's what I love about Kim:
+ She's no frills. If you ask for a "two one top, one on the sides" that's what you get. If you are looking for styling/guidance you can get that too, certainly.
+ She takes pride in her work. No stray hairs left behind like that Quincy shop. You get 100% what you ask for, not 95%.
+ She's fast (and still accurate). You won't be sitting in that chair longer than you have to, and likewise lines move fast.
+ Her rates are extremely reasonable.
+ She's wicked nice! Need I say more?
Kim, you're a master of your trade. Keep it up! read more
