| - I got word of Gentleman Joe's recently and made my first visit a few days ago. This is probably the best haircut I have ever had, which I judge by the compliments I have been getting, as well as how it feels physically.
In the past, I have always went to those Super Clip Co. types of places and had my haircut by some woman that was more interested in speed than giving a great haircut. It was usually an 8-minute cut that turned out to be uneven and never really felt right. In fact, I would usually try to time my haircuts a week in advance of any important event, just so it could grow out and cover up the chop job. But at Gentleman Joe's, they take their time and are very precise.
Gentleman Joe's charges a little more (I paid about $20 plus tip) than those other places, but the result is far superior to the quick-cut places. These guys are skilled professionals. They understand how to cut men's hair and do a great job. I'm not sure if it was just gentleman (Moises) that cut my hair, but there was no small-talk, which was actually very refreshing to me. He spoke to me about how I styled my hair and what I wanted, then took his time and gave a great cut. I just got to sit back and watch the personal TV monitor in front of me. After I left the shop, I realized that the haircut actually felt good on my head. It seems weird to say a haircut can feel good physically, but it does. Also, I now only need a fraction of the hairgel that I normally needed after other haircuts I have had. I think that probably has something to do with the barber giving a more customized cut, as opposed to the generic cuts that I have received in the past.
I just wish I knew about Gentleman Joe's sooner. Even though it is a bit of a drive from where I live, I will be back every 3 or 4 weeks. They understand men's haircuts, take their time, are skilled professionals, don't talk to you about the weather, and don't try to sell you anything. If you are ready to revolt against the quick-cut hairshops and spend an extra $6, give Gentleman Joe's a try.
