The Village Barber Shop is one of the best finds I've made in Vegas since I moved here, and I thank Yelp for helping me find it. I've had some bad hair cutting experiences since moving here and I decided I'd had enough. I turned to Yelp to help me find a new place to go and came across Village Barber Shop so I decided to give them a try.
I arrived kinda late on a Sunday evening and found they had a few people ahead of me. I expected a long wait but I ended up not having to wait very long. Once I sat down in the chair and Tim started in....I knew I had made the right choice. First of all his blades were sharp. Unlike my last place that had dull blades that pulled my hair Tim's blades were sharp and that man knows how to use them. You don't just see it, you feel it when he's doing what he does.
But after the haircut came the unexpected...a very skilled hand working a straight blade razor to trim me up. I can't do this part justice in words, it is something that has to be experienced and enjoyed. This man knows what he's doing, and you can just feel the difference. The last time I trusted any barber with a straight edged razor was over 27 years ago...I thought straight edged practitioners had gone away...but I am glad to report they are indeed alive and well and ready to give you a cut and a trim that is truly an experience.
The ultimate measure of quality is the feedback when I got home...she loved it, my family said it's the best I've looked in a long time...in short this was what I've been looking for when it comes to haircuts.
5 Stars, and a promise to return over and over again. Oh hell yes, if you're on the fence about going, GO! (Cash only but even this debit card fanboy will gladly go get some cash for this experience!)
(While I'm bumping him to my Best of Las Vegas list..I have a hunch when I go back for the full shave and haircut experience that an addition to the Mythical 6th Star list is coming!)
