Met Sydney and Allan and they were able to take me right away. Sydney took the time to find out what I wanted. And I got a very attentive, unrushed, cut.
I also opted for a beard trim and shave. *That* was great. I haven't had a hairdresser who paid attention to my beard or go-t for a long time (Eric @ Donato's to be exact--where did you go dude!).
And Sydney was really a pro with the straight razor. If you haven't had shave with a straight razor it's worth the try. It's the closest you'll come to a spa day as a man without feeling, mmm, effeminate ;-)
I don't think I would call the place retro... it's just Queen W. Like getting your hair cut at Czehoski or something.
Anyway, without even mentioning the über-reasonable prices, it was great.
