Desperately needed a cleaning for an upcoming wedding. I was going to have it done in Portland, but I remembered Mike's Barber Shop from previous visits; and since we were going to be in Osoyoos, I thought I would give him a try. I researched ahead and saw that there were no appointments and that it was cash only, neither really mattered to me, but good to know ahead of time.
When I arrived I saw 4 gentlemen ahead of me, in my opinion, a great sign that Mike has a loyal clientele that repeatedly visit and great word of mouth. There was Mike and another female barber, I was noticing the cuts they were doing and was impressed with the results. 2 guys were prob late 20's, 1 mid-late 30's, and an older gentlemen in his 60's/70's; and each cut suited them well. Price point for men's cuts $17.00. They also do other things such as beard trimming, shaves, and hair tattoos; which I believe were $1.00 a minute. Very reasonable price point.
I waited about 30 minutes, which was fine. Great music was playing. Nice chatting among everyone. Magazines to read. And bonus points for a vintage BUBBLE BOBBLE arcade machine to play.
When it was my turn, Mike asked me what I wanted & followed through perfectly. It turned out better than I had pictured. Long on top untouched, and shaved around the sides and back. He blended it all seamlessly. Very impressed.
He's been at this location for quite a while and I foresee him being there for many, many more years.
So, if you live in town or are visiting, check him out. You won't be disappointed. Tell him COSTA sent you. Enjoy! read more
