| - Finding a place that does a great hair cut is not an easy task. Having just recently moved, I ventured out into the world once before with disastrous results.
I was getting shaggy, it was pretty bad. Strangers were handing me change and saying, "God Bless." I knew it was time for a haircut.
I had been putting it off because the last time I got a haircut, I got butchered. I won't mention the offending party, but I assure you that after I got home I re-cut my own hair. She had left it uneven, some hair not even touched. Embarrassing.
I had driven by this place a ton of times, and never even noticed that it was there. I just so happened to notice it about a week ago, and today was the day for me to go in and check it out.
Chris greeted me immediately after walking in. I got lucky, I was the only one in the shop today. After asking how I wanted the cut, he sat me down, turned the chair towards the TV so I could watch, and he went to work. I didn't get to watch much TV though. Chris and I talked most of the half hour I was there.
The shop itself is small, providing more of a community old-school feel. Hair cuts are $12, but they offer beard trims, lather shaves (yup, with a straight razor), and even do cuts for kids as well.
After finishing up, my cut was spot on. Chris nailed the fade and neck taper, and tied my hair perfectly into my beard. This shop was all class, and Chis knew his trade. Next time I am due for a cut, I will look no further than Leander's. My only regret was not finding this shop before that last haircut-disaster.
