Disappointed.
I tried this barber shop on the weight of one 'Yay! I'm a fan.' and one 'Woohoo! As good as it gets!' rating.
The store is modest, old-fashioned and clean. The owner/staff are very friendly and seem eager to accommodate. The price is cheap. ($15.50 for my cut, including tax.)
I called ahead to see if appointments were necessary (they're not) and if they could do a classic (old-fashioned) men's hair cut called a 'short back and sides'. I was assured that 'they all could do that'. Considering that I have had no luck finding a satisfactory execution of this seemingly easy to do cut, I showed up with a how-to diagram from an on-line catalogue of cuts and styles.
The cut was just okay. It wasn't exactly was I was hoping for (and didn't match the schematic I provided), but I can certainly live with it. Marks deducted for needing to tidy up around one ear after getting home. Still need to decide if I'll go back and give them another shot or if I'll keep looking...
