I've found my new home for hair and beard care!
This is a new location that opened after the one in Kierland closed and its a big improvement overall. Very experienced crew (over 135 years combined) and a clean, welcoming environment. When I walked in, I was greeted by multiple barbers. The shop has 6 barber chairs and each chair can see multiple TVs (for optimal sports viewing). All TVs are viewable from the waiting area as well. The shop itself is very clean and has a good barber shop atmosphere to it. The shop seemed well managed and operations were smooth. The location is great! Very convenient, ample parking, a nearby coffee shop, nearby dry cleaning and other shops. Access to/from Scottsdale Rd is a breeze.
I got a basic haircut from Mikhail, a New Yorker who moved to AZ around 20 years ago, great guy. Next time, I'm definitely going to try the "whole deal", it sounds awesome. I didn't have time because I had to go tailgate for the Cardinals game (priorities!)
