You would think that I would give the place I routinely get my hair cut a five star review, but House of Lords hasn't quite earned my love, hair aside.
The allure is a decently priced haircut that doesn't look like something a soccer mom would get. The place is pretty good about getting you in and out of the chair without a lot of product/treatment upselling the ritzier places will try to push on you. And at the end of the day, I refuse to drop 100 bucks every six weeks to have body proteins trimmed that are just going to grow back anyway. Yeah, I'm a cheapskate.
The back story I know is that the guy who runs the place has some swinging 80s rock star connections. I thought this was a gimmick until the last time I was in and Alice Cooper and his family were in there getting hair cuts or something. I was too busy getting shampooed to really gawk and no one else really seemed to care much.
The people who work here are (mostly) professionals, with a few unfortunate exceptions. Overall I've had 95% great experiences and the stylists are all really nice. The boss dude is kind of a character who wanders in and out saying outrageous things, overall it's a funny sort of place to go and at least it's not pretentious.
