As with all my reviews, quality and customer service always make the difference.
Although the owner, Dan, maybe looks atypical of most salon owners, he really knows what he is doing. He is meticulous about details and I could always count on him to get exactly what I wanted for a haircut. I even went back there to get my haircut before my wedding. He's also a very interesting guy with great ideas and lots of stories.
He cut my hair for a majority of my college years. I tried out most places on campus (except for the ones that charged ridiculous prices), but after finding Hair Forum I was hooked - Great service, great cut, at a reasonable price. They also offer loyalty discounts.
Although I've been back there a few times over the last few years - what really impressed me while I was back last weekend was he recognized my name before I got there, and when I sat down in the chair - he remembered EXACTLY what my standard haircut was. Now that, is a master of his craft!
I also find the decor interesting. They always have plenty of magazines, too for those who are waiting. I've gotten my haircut by other stylists when I was in a bind and Dan wasn't available and have been satisfied.
