It was clean and his willingness to know what i want was admirable. He made me feel at home right away. Now about the cut, he was bang on. He took time to understand as it was my first time and definitely tried his best to accommodate and explain the pros and cons before he cut. I loved the fact that he also corrected my understanding surrounding the fades and also lined my stach (a light trim) for free as he is a self declared perfectionist. Haha I am glad, i feel like i finally found my place for a haircut 5 mins walk from my home.

I have been coming to this spot for several years. Oftentimes, it is a good value, it is a local…read morespot where they still use the straightedge, it's always a lively spot. There are a few barbers who are consistently good.....and there are a few who unfortunately have been consistently unsatisfactory. I am a very forgiving guy and am still planning on patronizing this business, but will probably opt for a different barber in the future. The last two times I have been there, the gent cutting my hair has spent at least equal if not more time on his phone than he does cutting my hair...trying to make it look like he's doing something by blindly spraying or doing something to make it look like he's being attentive. I appreciate the sentiment, but my body language could not have been clearer that it was getting to be more than a little bit irritating that he's half-assing the job, especially when I emphasized how important this haircut is, as I have important appointments in the very near future and need to look presentable. When I walked in, I WANTED to wait for the gent with the buzzcut who always does an amazing job, and is very friendly....but I gave this guy a second chance....and for the second time, the "line-up" is very wavy, and for the second time, he nicked my neck in the process. LUCKILY I had a bit of extra neck whiskers to work with prior to going in, because I had to dip into that when I had to fix my own lineup. I am used to coming home from Supercuts and essentially giving myself a second haircut...I really didn't want to do it coming home from here, and hopefully, when I change barbers, I won't have to worry about that. Honestly, this cut is so subsatisfactory that I am toying with the idea of rescheduling some of the appointments until it grows in a bit. This place is cash-only and I made sure I had enough plus enough for a tip.... When he was done botching my coiffe, I gave him the exact amount, made it clear that I do not wish to have him cut my hair again, and on the way out, I'm 99.9% sure I heard the gent utter derogatory expletive. I have worked in the customer-service industry for over 25 years, and I know people have bad days, and some guests have high standards and all that jazz, but this isn't a one-off thing here. I know many people do NOT give second chances...I do, I plan to, and hope that the gent is a little more attentive to his job when on the job. friend: entiendo espanol y se lo que dijiste!

Rina is a master barber who does a fantastic job at cutting hair and is a genuine and nice person…read more She has given me the best haircut out of any barbers or salons that I have been to in the last 40 years. Sometimes because of my location and time constraints I have to get my hair cut somewhere else. The other place does a fine job, but it does not compare to Rinas shop at the Heights. I guess the best compliment to have is that I have a friend that works at a hair salon and she is very particular and knows her trade well. She always knows when I get my hair cut by Rina compared to other places that I go to because Rina does that nice of a job in getting everything blended and cut nicely, and even. I walk into the office and she says you got your hair cut, it looks awesome and I can tell where you went..... Rina cares about what she does, and she does it extremely well!! Thank you!

This is an old school barber shop, so you will not be asked "What number?" the moment you sit in the chair-or ever. Yes, it's true; they cut hair quite well using scissors! Of course, they can buzz hair, too. Also, they take time cutting your hair. It's not a 5 or 10 minute cut. I highly recommend this barber shop to anyone seeking a great haircut.

Since I moved, I hadn't been back until recently. I drove by here about ten days ago, and noticed their price! Much better than where I've been going, although there was nothing wrong with the quality. So I parked across the street and went in. There was no wait. the barber was a very nice guy and did a quality job in just a few minutes! This looks like an old-school barber tat harkens back to days gone by.

I finally headed back into the world for a professional cut. And style, and shape, and general pilar resurrection. No issues with timing. Texting Tina got me an appointment the next day. I showed up a few minutes late but she still saw me right away. The cut seemed to take no time at all. But she didn't cut corners to trim the time; she did a *fantastic* job. Even better than my hair was in the Before Times. I'm definitely going back. I might even hit up Ed for some beard work. Before, I was considering getting my hair done right once or twice a year, then going back to homecutting in between...but to look and feel this good for under $40? There's no going back.
