Clippers and a bathroom mirror can only get a man so far in life. Yeah, you can cut your own hair and wear a hat day and night, but it's August, and too darn hot. Too darn hot.
First impressions: It's a long narrow shop that goes way way back, like the perspective lesson in art books. Clean. Modern. Cool. Long couch for waiting on the left. Lots of barber chairs on the right.
It wasn't packed on a Monday late afternoon. A few barbers were working on a family near the back, but one was unoccupied near the front. I explained that I needed him to repair some work I did myself. Then I took off my hat.
Remember that face-melting guy in Raiders of the Lost Ark? My guy was too pro to react, but he got me into a chair and caped-up pretty swiftly.
I should have watched him but my glasses were off and I kinda go to sleep-ish during my hair cuts.
So I woke up ignorant, with a great fade cut from 00000 to 1 on the back and sides.
The price is a fair value for high quality. Tip your hair person well.
My guy "Flash" is a young grandmaster barber. I couldn't be more satisfied.
I found this place during a drive through my old neighborhood. South siide!
There's a tattoo parlor next door, but I can do that myself.
