He stayed busy the entire time I was there, which says a lot about the kind of following he's built. He works by appointment, so you'll need to call ahead and get a time. He does his best to stick to the schedule, although I ended up waiting about 10-15 minutes. No big deal at all. If you're looking for a traditional barber who knows what he's doing, I'd definitely recommend giving Enrico a try.

He saved as much hair as he could; he didn't get 'razor happy' which I greatly appreciated. Furthermore, he took the time to shape up my edges and he charged me about $20. In November 2016, I came back with medium-length natural hair to get my ends trimmed, and she did an excellent job. Again, she wasn't 'scissor happy'; she took off exactly what needed to come off. She even told me that my ends weren't that bad, but I might have been shedding to the dye in my hair. She twisted my hair as she trimmed it allowing me to leave the salon with full body. She charged me $18, which wasn't bad. Whenever I need something else, I'll return to this salon to see if they can work more magic.

The language barrier is nonexistent for me. Not sure what the other dude is talking about. They speak Spanish to each other and English to their English speaking clients. So the only language barrier I can think of is YOU not knowing what THEY are saying. Mind your business or learn the language! LOL

The lady was very sweet, and I really enjoyed talking with her. She speaks English, and she has a lot of experience as a hairstylist. The service was okay overall. However, she used old scissors that needed to be sharpened, and because of that, the way she cut my hair sometimes looked a little awkward, which made me feel nervous. Fortunately, the final result was okay. It cost me over $80 including the tip, which felt a little expensive to me. That said, I really liked the lady and her energetic personality. She was turning 70 when I visited, and I hope she can continue her business for many more years!

Yesterday was my first time visiting McGuinn's, but I already consider myself a lifetime customer. This is the best haircut I've ever gotten. I told Ken what I wanted -- Pretty much what I have now, except shorter -- and he totally got it. I once heard this music critic talk about the drummer for AC/DC. He said something like, "People say Phil Rudd is too simplistic, but the reality is he's a master of restrain. He only hits whatever is necessary for the music in that moment." Most barbers can't seem to resist the temptation to take off a little extra, but Ken is like the barbershop version of Phil Rudd. He's an artist who only takes off what is necessary, and working with the shape of your head and the character of your hair to bring out your best look. read more

Amazing! Good Vibes! Great Barbers! Awesome Cut!!! I highly recommend Paris at the corner shop. I walked out looking and feeling great. Kenny, shop owner, is a great guy. The compassion I experienced that was shown mutually throughout the business was reassuring to see. They showed a rarely seen sense of family and joyful work environment. Please support the business. you won't be disappointed. read more

I like the fact that the location was next to the probation office and on a busy street in the near Shadyside community. I have been getting my haircut by Eric for at least the last year. He's a good barber but on the expensive side. One haircut for $23 plus tip. I am the kind of client is willing to pay that if I get a good cut and good service. But after this most recent trip I realized that I can't take it anymore!! The barbershop is dominated by a huge television. Typically, the television is playing in a loud volume very trashy videos that either have high sexual content or extreme violence. This has been the practice almost every time I have gone The last time that I was there my barber was cutting my hair while fully engaged in the movie and talking to everyone about the action in the flick. Three times I said to him "pay attention to my haircut." Enough said, I won't be returning. Why pay money for that.
