I moved to Baltimore in December 2011 and my quest to find a good barber has taken me all over the…read morecity (i.e., Northwood, Mondawmin Mall, Greenmount, Mt. Vernon, and Patterson Park). That journey has included frustrations, disappointments, and occasional epiphanies. Thankfully, Conheads Men's Grooming is a welcome reprieve from the bad haircuts and inconsistent barbers and wins my vote in multiple categories. Location: The barbershop is located on Antique Row right across from Maryland General Hospital and a few storefronts up the street from the Eubie Blake National Jazz Institute and Cultural Center. Phaze 10 recently opened in the area and Land of Kush is within easy walking distance. The light rail is literally right in front of the shop. Street parking requires some thought, but I always find a spot on Eutaw Street and walk over to the shop. Ambience: It's clear that the owner(s) went the extra mile and put thought into the overall design. There's a lounge area up front, an outdoor courtyard out back, and a consistent gentlemen's lounge theme throughout. There's also a decent reading selection and soul music classics are always playing in the background. Service: For $23, you get a shampoo/wash, haircut, shave, and a complimentary beverage choice of water or wine. There's also an esthetician on staff who provides additional services by appointment. Most importantly, I find all the barbers to be very personable and welcoming, extending "hello," "come back again," and "thank you". Neutral Space: Okay, I might be pushing it a bit here, but oblige me. Black barbershops are normally ground zero for loaded, politically charged conversations on identity politics, religion, sexual relations, interpersonal relations, personal preferences, and a whole range of unsolicited social commentary. In my experience, Conheads is a pretty neutral space and I usually leave feeling relaxed and renewed as opposed to tense and offended. Well done!

Where I typically feel nervous about new-to-me barbers, Drew and his colleague made me feel right at home. I described what I wanted, and 20 minutes later I was done! $17 is a couple bucks more expensive than my normal cut, but for the convenience of avoiding traffic, it was worth it. I especially want to note that they know how to effectively cut a taper here. It's the true test of a good barber for me, and this place passes with flying colors.

The facility is very welcoming of all people and does not make anyone feel unwelcome or secluded based off of your race, sexual orientation, gender, etc. all the barbers are very well trained and are not cosmetologist that think they know how to cut hair. They're barbers! Prices vary depending on what services you want, but a normal haircut is $40. It's definitely worth it. If you have to wait, there's drinks, games, and a giant flat screen tv with cable. However, if you just make an appointment , the barbers are all professional and honor your time. I have a busy schedule so I can't do a walk in where wait. They're all very punctual. This is officially my favorite barbershop and there's free parking and a ton of shops in the area

Let me preface my review by saying that I've been in the Baltimore area for approximately 2 years…read morenow. My hair stylist/barber is one I've had cutting my hair since I moved to the NCR in 2005. However, now that I live in Baltimore, the trek to her shop can sometimes be far. So I've been trying to find somebody in Baltimore to cut my hair in the meantime or when I don't feel like making the drive. Cut to the good barbershop. ...see what I did there! Ha! I saw their shop and sent a message to see if any of them cut women's hair. They replied that if I was going for a short cut almost anybody could cut my hair. So I made an appointment. My appointment was with Darren. Darren took his time by asking me specific questions regarding how low I wanted my hair, the sides, what kind of edging I wanted, etc. I was nervous. I'm not going to lie! I'm used to my hair stylist, washing my hair and then cutting it and I've been going to her for so long. She knows my hair, my style, etc. So I answered all of Darren's questions and chimed in when I wanted something done and he obliged. I use gel in my hair so after every haircut I normally go home, add gel, to see how it looks. You should have seen the smile on my face when I got home, washed my hair, and saw that it was a really good cut! Yes! Finally! So, I'll be back.

This place has been around for decades and there is a reason why.

I've waited a year to leave a review here. I went to this shop since it was conveniently located to…read moremy home. The owner is old school and clearly entrenched in his ways of working. That's ok, but his customer service and attitude just suck. At first, I thought it was an act and was amusing, but it was not an act, and it was not funny at all. His macho, bro-like attitude, permeates everything that is said in the shop. As a liberal gay man, I felt like I was in a time, warp and taken back into the Reagan-era 80s. The constant misogynist jokes and racial innuendos were really hard to take. He berated nearly every African-American political leader with the implicit suggestion that it was because of their race. Everything culminated one day when a guy came into get a haircut for his wedding. The owner gave some unsolicited marriage advice to him. His advice was that the customer needed to start the marital relationship by showing his wife who the boss was and by giving her a good beating. Yes, you read that correctly! Whether this was a joke or not, I was appalled and have never returned. I'll never spend another dime in the shop and regret that I didn't tell the owner how I felt.

His shop is modest and it's only him, but he does a great job, takes his time and more important cuts my hair straight. If you want a 15-minute hair cut, go somewhere else. It'll take Sam at least 20-30 minutes because he's deliberate and careful which I appreciate. Some other barbers i've been to make fun of him, but I keep coming back. They say he's too slow, but they never criticize the quality of his cuts because they can't. He is the definition of old school, traditional barber. He uses shears and scissors and will shave around your ears and neck with a straight razor. He has a loyal customer base and he knows everyone in the neighborhood. Don't go to him if you're in a hurry. If he has people waiting, he won't talk. If you're the only person in the shop, he'll socialize. I appreciate that.
