Fellas-Looking for a $12 haircut that looks like you went to an exclusive South Park salon? This is your place.
Venus 21 is tucked in an East Charlotte shopping center (Intersection of Village Lake Dr. and Indepedence Blvd.) where Lebo's and K & W is located. They do women, men, and children. And I believe they have tanning.
I have not recieved a hair cut this precise ever; they use scissors and a razor to ensure that you don't have random hairs sticking out, shaving your neckline with a razor (the entire perimeter, not just the back) and spend way more time that Great Clips or even Sports Clips.
The only drawback is that most of the barbers speak Spanish. The owner is a New York Dominican and if he doesn't cut your hair, he will make sure that the other barbers understand how you want it cut. It is a veritable melting pot-Latins, African-Americans, and a few whites. I've never waited more than 10 minutes to be served.
If you don't mind the banter in Spanish between the barbers, I promise you that will you get a good haircut.
