I was looking for a place to make my place to get a haircut, shave and some great conversation. I asked a buddy where he goes and he mentioned this place on South Valley Mills across from SPEC'S. I was familiar with the area and found the shop over by BANKSTON'S. The place was called University Barber Shop located at 1325 South Valley Mills Drive, in the University Centre Strip Mall. As I went in, I saw the place had about five barber chairs and each chair had a barber and clients getting cuts and shaves. I checked out the work being done from a long row of seats with others waiting to get trimmed up. I watched and when the time was right, a guy I know now was Joe Bruce (the barber) said he was ready for whoever is next. He was as I can best describe, was a crossover from a Military Veteran/Hippie salt and pepper hair and full well groomed beard. My kind of American Patriot as he and I had much in common. he asked how I wanted my hair cut. I had been growing it for a friend, but he doesn't need it anymore. I left it to him telling him just cut it. He gave me a Men's Regular hair cut. He tapered it in the back and shaved it around the edges and ears. Over all a great cut and conversation by a guy I just met and I told Joe I'd be back! $16.00 bucks for the cut so I gave him that plus a generous tip. They also cut women's hair as just before me a woman came in waiting for the women barber to do whatever she was having done. They also wash your hair for a charge too! Joe told me he has been in this same place over 30 years! Yeah, I'll be back! Good job Joe!!!! Oh yeah, and I forgot to mention since if you're familiar with them you might not see it from the street.
