| - The guys here do a good job cutting your hair, as long as you tell them exactly what you want, in as much detail as possible. I usually tell them how short I want my hair in front, on top, and at the sides, and I've had the best results when I specify the clipper length (number) for shorter cuts. Do NOT make the mistake of pointing to the picture chart of hairstyles on the wall and telling them which one you want. I did that once when I wanted a shorter hairstyle; I pointed to a picture on the chart that I thought represented a reasonably short trim, and within seconds a clipper quickly cropped a pathway through the middle top of my head. My barber responded to my gasp of distress with a look that silently told me, "If you don't like it, it's too late." So I let him finish the job and ended up with an extremely short style that "far exceeds military standard," in the words of an army friend who saw it afterward. So be very specific, and you'll get a good haircut at a good price. Be general or choose a style from the haircut picture chart, and live with the consequences for the next few weeks (almost two months for me, before my hair grew back to a length I like). The barber shop itself is small but clean, very brightly lit, and you get entertained by a Russian soap opera on TV while getting your haircut.
