Went today off a recommendation from a friend. He specifically told me to get my hair cut by Marquil (I believe that's how you spell his name). He did a great job. He took his sweet time and cut my hair to perfection. He was a really master at his craft and used warm shaving cream and a straight razor to do the back of my neck.
Not only was it great, but it was cheap ($14, though I left a big tip because of the great job he did).
Looks like I finally found a barber shop in Glendale that I will begin frequenting.
