| - I just stopped into Gentleman Joe's to get my sideburns and neck trimmed. Immediately after coming in, one of the barbers greeted me and offered me a selection of drinks. There was only a couple minute wait to get in. They have a couple different sitting areas, and LOADS of TVs. Every barbers chair has a TV, and there are several big screens throughout. Each barber can change the channel as well.
Napoleon helped me out. He had to move the barber chair out-of-the-way so I could fit my wheelchair in, which proved a little bit difficult. This things are ridiculously happy!
I was honestly just expecting a couple minutes worth of Labor, just a few cuts here and there and I was done... However, it turned out to be 10 to 20 minutes worth of work to get me cleaned up. This man really shows passion in his work. He used multiple sets of clippers, and finished off with a straight razor and hot shaving cream.
I've had a LOT of trouble in the past with barbers using straight razors. I've only been there once or twice, but the big problem is razor burn. Almost every time a barbers used one I end up in pain while they're doing it, and stuck with red razor burn after they do it. Not today! Not only did it feel nice and smooth while he was doing it, several hours after the fact I still feel great!
The trim cost $10. I believe the full haircut runs $21. It's definitely worth it, and I plan on coming back. I will definitely recommend this place to friends in the area.
