However, the last year or so the quality of service has fallen so far down that I will not be going back and I think people should steer clear of this location. I gave them two, even three chances to redeem themselves, but the last straw for me was when came in and requested a "modern mullet" style haircut and even had an example. The cut I got is so terrible I actually felt the need to tell him myself before leaving. To make things worse the cut is practically not able to be saved and I might have to go straight to a buzz cut. I hope this helps someone make their decision.

Sure, they can get busy and booked and for good reason, but they always find a way to offer an alternative that works. The fact that most of their clients have been coming here for years speaks volumes about their consistency, professionalism, and customer service. Manny has been my go-to barber from the start, and now my son has the privilege of sitting in his chair too. It's more than just a haircut; it's tradition, trust, and family. Highly recommend to anyone looking for top-notch service and a place that truly values its clients.

Only to be welcomed by a gentleman named David who told me that walk ins aren't necessarily first come first basis. I was the first person outside the building. He said it was situational. The tone of the conversation was not only condescending but dismissive. The service at this location has shown time and time again less than a destination for "gents". With so many local businesses lacking business you would think they would be more receptive to customers trying to be loyal.

Locker room in IB…read more.. Just giving a heads up to walk-ins for future customers. For context I've been getting the same haircut for almost 3 years now. Been here about 6 times or so and there are some good barbers here and I'm glad one of the barbers offered a free cut after I left but I cant come back to this place. Was cut by a new barber and asked for a burst fade with a 5 on top. I usually let barbers work their art and I was clearly wrong for doing so. I sat for almost 3 hours for this cut. 2 hours in the barber said he was done and I have a FAUX-HAWK! It was clearly not what I asked for so I tried to be cool with it since he said he'd cut it off and just fade the back. Instead I still got a triangle shape cut in the back and he C cupped one of my sideburns and messed up the other side leaving a flat line on the side and left a bald spot he accidentally cut next to the imperfection on my head (red mole). Kinda pissed there were so many barbers in there without a customer, watching as my hair got messed up. I would've been happy if they stepped in after I said I didn't ask for a faux-hawk instead like 2 barbers walked away to let him try to fix it after he was going at it for over 2 hours. If someone's still learning help them out before it ends up like this. Sorry if this comes off as rude, but I'm embarrassed that I'm going to wear this cut for at least 2 weeks.
