| - I'm blown away by the quality of the haircut I got at Pinky's. My usual barber (from a different barbershop) was sick, and so on the recommendation of two of my friends I gave this place a try. I'm really glad I did.
Greg, the owner, does every haircut himself, and he's extremely personable. If you, like me, don't quite know what kind of haircut you want or are terrible at putting it into words, Greg is extremely patient and offers good suggestions that work with your hair. He'll also pause at various stages in the haircut to check with you on length and style. That way, you can see how it looks before deciding if you want to go shorter.
Since I'd told Greg that I wanted something low-maintenance, he gave me a cut that looked good without any combing or styling. He then offered to show me a couple quick styling options, and ultimately recommended a simple pomade look that he felt worked best with the way my hair naturally behaved. He then trimmed and shaped my beard, ending with a straight razor shave, all at a very good price, and ended up giving me the beard trim for free (even though I was more than willing to pay for it)!
The haircut came out great, and I'm incredibly impressed with the amount of time and attention he gave to it. Greg is meticulous and detailed, and is not the type of barber to rush any haircut. Even if you think you're happy with your current barber, I highly suggest you give Greg and Pinky's a try. I'm very glad I did, and I've found my new regular barber because of it.
One tip: I'm told the hours on the weekdays can fluctuate a bit depending on Greg's schedule (especially later in the day), so if you don't get an answer from the barbershop phone number, he suggests calling his cell phone at 602-883-5435 to make sure he'll be there.
