If you're looking shaggy, don't bother with anywhere else. I've been coming here for two years, and I've never had a bad cut. I'm not really good at describing what I want, but Aiden and Troy always do a great job of taking my vague words and translating them into a killer haircut. And I don't have easy hair to cut -- once, a barber took pictures of my hair so he could show how weird to was to his friends. The folks at the groom room? They nail it. Every single time.

This time I showed her pictures and my son came out 10 mins later with not the cut in the picture. My other sons cut looks really choppy, she took about 10 mins on it too, but I'm waiting to see how it is after it's washed and dried to decide if we need to go back. Really disappointed, I was hoping to find a good regular local spot. Took my 2 and 4 year olds here to fix my attempts to cut their hair Hannah was great with both of them, quick and easy and even styled it for boWe were in and out in a half hour.

Looking over Troy's Yelp reviews show a lot of what I call "One Hit Wonders". To me that means, no…read morepicture of the reviewer, often just a few (or less) reviews to show for it, sometimes debatable personal experience, and with some sort of revenge (for slights real or imagined) on their minds. For this long-time Yelp Elite, these reviews go to the very bottom of my credibility pile. I'm a loyal customer, even though I live in Nevada and only have Troy cut my hair if I happen to be in town and I need to get my hair back in control. My Dad and my Brother come here too. My last visit was earlier this week was around Troy's opening time (7:30 AM), with no wait, nice conversation, and back out to the care in short order. I enjoy our conversations and catching up on Campus and Community happenings. The Barber Shop itself has comfortable seating, good reading material (if I need to wait), sports on the TV, and just an all-around comfortable vibe. Free parking is available across the street. My last haircut was on the short side, which I like, while Gayle is still considering. But when one is nearly bald up top, shaggy sides and comb overs don't look so good to me these days.

I accepted the change, but when I showed up, Joe wasn't there. Another person walked in who had an appointment with Joe in 20 minutes, and rather then get a rushed 20 minute haircut or make that person wait more time, I cancelled the appointment and walked down to All Cuts barber shop where I received excellent service.
