I was in Charlotte for a conference and needed a last minute haircut. The staff at Emerson Joseph were very accommodating, taking me as a walk-in. I got the full service hair cut which included the cut, wash, scalp message, neck shave, hot face towel, hand message, shoe shine. And a beer! And at a very reasonable price ($39 plus gratuity). Christa was awesome and very personable and my boots (a liking not seen often by the staff) came back looking almost new! Sidebar - I did show up around 3 on a week day and it was getting busy by the time I left - so the walk in May have been by luck and an appointment more advantageous if closer to 5 or on weekends!
