| - A few years ago I went on a mission to find a new barber.
I should have learned to recognize a winner by now, but I stubbornly decided to try out four or five other local barber shops before circling back to this one. After receiving multiple questionable haircuts from less stellar spots within a 5 mile radius of Camelback Barber, I finally concluded that Camelback Barber will give you a good looking cut, at a fair price, and you'll leave without a feeling like you just stepped out of a strip club. For $20 including tip, I leave with a look I'm proud of, every time.
In my vision quest I saw things like magazine racks filled with playboy magazines, doors closed during regular operating hours, cheap / small barber chairs that barely fit a young teen, and shady business practices at the checkout counter. You'll find none of that here.
Want to read something while you wait? Grab the sports magazine right there. Looking for a "3 on the sides and clean on the top"? This is your spot. Want to randomly swing by on a Saturday, you're out of luck 'cause that's the only day they're closed - just come back tomorrow.
This is one of those spots where you can come and get a manly cut. With no blow dryer or nail polishing stations in sight, bask in the knowledge that this place caters to the guy who just wants his hair to look good, finished off with a straight razor trim around the edges. Sorry to say, but if you're looking for a waxing or mani pedi, you're looking in the wrong place.
Lookin' Good Yelpers!
