This salon was recommended to me by someone at the mechanic shop, after I mentioned my neighborhood…read morebarber retired. I'm not normally a fan of salons and prefer the old fashioned barber shop experience in its simplicity. My experience here changed my mind.
My stylist, Caroline, made me feel welcome, as did all the staff. She wasn't old, she wasn't Italian so I was skeptical at first. I even told her this. LOL She quickly put me at ease. The place is meticulously clean. The other stylist ,Laurah, was in between clients and appeared to have deep cleaned the entire salon during the time of my visit.
I was amazed at the job Caroline did, especially with a men's cut, since the margin for error is very slim, with short hair. She did a very neat job, took her time, and it was surprising that my hair looked like it was finished with a razor using just a scissors and clipper.
Since they offer coloring, I decided to experiment, my first time even considering such a thing. I figured what the hell, worst thing is the natural brown and new gray sprouting up would grow back and if it didn't grow back I could just use lemon Pledge on my chrome dome I was left with.
The results looked quite natural, Caroline went over color options and there were quite a few to match my natural hair color. I have received many compliments on my appearance, saying I look younger, etc, and a few other guys from the barber shop have also gone there and were happy with the results.
The place is expansive, looked brand new, comfortable chairs, plenty of room unlike the claustrophobic feel and layers of dust in some old school barber shops. I'm planning on going back, recommend having Caroline as a stylist. She even recommended shampoo and conditioner products that improved my scalp and hair.
I'm surprised there aren't more reviews here, or at least a recent review, since that would have helped me when looking for a new place to get a hair cut.
