First of all,…read morethe vibe was just what I needed as an old (very old) former skater and fan of skate and punk music. And, I was very impressed with how well the shop was put together with skateboard planks and art...with everything very evenly and meticulously spaced out. LOL! Simon cut my hair and did a great job. He is personable and friendly and has a great story. He took his time, got input from me about what I wanted, and delivered exactly that. We started talking about old punk bands and he played some of his band's music which was cool. (Sounded great, I'll definitely check them out!) With all of that and a skilled and friendly Barber, I thought the price made sense. Sometimes you do get what you pay for.... I will definitely be going back before I leave and will recommend the shop to my colleagues. In fact, I recommend Off the Map to everyone...

This is my first ever review, and let me just say this has definitely been my worst haircut…read moreexperience ever. No exaggeration at all. Me and my boy did a walk in on Saturday the 21st. The barber told us to sing up and be back at 3:30pm. Since there was someone else waiting. No problem, we get back, now we have to wait another 30 minutes for him to finish a kids cut that was already waiting there when we go there. It's my turn, I ask for a low taper with a trim on top and a line up. I knew this guy was cutting me terribly as soon as his clippers touched my hair. Anyways I'm sitting there upset because I know my cut is going to be messed up. I can't even see myself in the mirror since he has me pointed out facing away from it. While he was trimming my beard, he thought it would be a good idea to pop my pimple on my cheek. WTF!! His hands weren't even clean from the last guy he cut. Before my cut was finished, he tried lining me up. He showed me at the end, and man was it not straight. I asked him to fix it, he tried to one time,but you know what this guy did, instead of showing me how he fixed what I saw unfit,he took the apron off of me and said thank you. Didn't give me a mirror to check if he fixed it or anything, just moved on to the next person. His blend was inexistent on the sides, the top was uneven, the cut all around looked ugly. Hey, you know I thought it was just a bad experience so what I'll just move on and never return. Today is 2 days after the cut. I have a bad haircut, but guess what, I also have a skin infection because this dude didn't know how to clean his tools. While talking to me he told me about how he's been cutting for so long, and that he used to cut in prison. I didn't know that this barbershop was giving prison quality haircuts for $35 dollars. I understand he had places to be, but it's not my fault he decided to cut my hair. He ever added one more guy after me and my friend. He decided to rush my haircut and mess me up. Unprofessional, never going back.

I haven't a clue as to how the associated picture of someone is posted here on the review. It's not me. (addendum 6-4-2015) T.C. - - - - - - - - - - Okay if I've got the right place this looks like an older style union shop with the barber pole and all and I think I'm reporting on the right barber but can't remember only that he's from way down pismo beach way from back in the day. Found his shop on google maps. There's another place almost across the street where I could have received the full California treatment, we're talking wax this and that, if I were to wait a couple more hours but hey I'm from the midwest and the last time I had wax on it was called butch wax when I was a pre-teenie. Taaa dumm dummm. So we are in Eureka, Calif. for about 3 days on our Pacific Coast trip and my duck curls were starting to form so the time had come to get some good buzz barbering going. I have to say ' AL ' if that's the guy, did a superior job on my hair. Getting it cut without a lot of muss and fuss. I told him that it was nice to get a haircut without the usual 50 questions on just how I want it done. I mean when I go to my normal place here in Madison, Wi. I'm festooned with questions like, what size clipper do you prefer, (Like I actually might know this), do you prefer scissors or clippers etc. AL didn't have to ask all those questions. I just told him I was getting long and needed some tapering up the back and sides, thin some if it needed it. Nothing technical, and he proceeded to give me the most perfect haircut I've had in years. Thank you AL! Noticing my mini-rant he told me the problem is that as we both noted that older style union barbers are a kind of dying breed and that anyone getting into the business now days must go to styling school(s) and they are taught differently than the classic barbering styles, at least for the male gender. He said his wife was a stylist and was trained that way too. So in the future as great barbers like AL and his kind retire or just plain die as my lifetime barbers have done back in Madison, Wi. I'm just going to keep getting those 50 questions in places like SuperCuts and CostCutters and their ilk. Anyway couldn't believe what a nice haircut I got at AL Sanders Barber Center. Or maybe it's Sanders AL. I really don't remember. BTW got other travel issues in Eureka? Bakery and laundromat on same street less than a block away. Check them out too. Oh yeah, needless to say AL picks up lots of local cop haircuts at this business too, so he reported during my cut. Buzzzzzzzz.

No fade, simple hard line between shaved and long hair. He was in the shop for about 10 minutes before I met up with him. When I walked in, the man was using what looked like a disposable razor to shave his head and my boyfriend had specifically asked for a straight razor. Because he was faced away from the mirror when the man was working on him, he says he is unsure if he had used a straight razor before I came in. No aftershave or warm towel was applied. The shave itself is uneven, especially near the hard line where his longer hair begins. His longer hair was cut into (most notably a chunk in the back) and he no longer has a clean or even line. Immediately after leaving the shop we didn't notice anything wrong and drove away. However, when I parked the car and looked at him, I noticed what appeared to loose hair. I told him to hold still and proceeded to remove a lock of his long hair. Once we had gotten home, he was able to take his long hair out of his pony tail and another, bigger lock came out. This is when I noticed the chunk that had been cut into the back of his part. My boyfriend also noted the barbers hands were shakey while he worked on him. We will give 2 stars instead of 1 because the barbers were pleasant and they didn't absolutely destroy his hairstyle, but we will definitely not be recommending or visiting again.

This is just a plain, good old-fashioned barbershop. Not a salon, not a stylist, Ted is a barber. Plain and simple. My haircuts are always simple, I just ask my barber to use a "number five blade", and I get the exact same haircut every time. It's short, but not "Boot Camp." While I was in the chair and Ted was cutting my hair he was just plain down to earth. We were just chatting about this, that, what's going on in the news, and nothing special. Just like going to the barber used to be. He's very friendly, and very personable. I got a great cut, and he even trimmed my eyebrows. The charge was $26, plus tip, which, for Humboldt County, is very reasonable. From now on, if I need a haircut while I'm in town, I know where I'm coming. Thank you so much!
