House of Lords is a good pick if you want a haircut with no pseudo-spa experience.
My hair isn't rocket science. I just needed to lose some dry ends and sheepdog bangs. I stuck a toe (an ear, really) into the House of Lords by getting my bangs trimmed there a few times. As other reviewers noted, there is indeed hair all over the floor, but a haircut isn't a tattoo so who really cares?
More importantly, on an early-evening walk-in I barely had time to take my coat off before a stylist was ready for me. The stylist, April, straightened my hair with a flatiron then cut it without washing it. That was fine by me, since I can wash my own hair at home (along with the rest of me.)
The haircut was fine, and I was out of there in half an hour, without talking about feelings or paying someone to wash, painstakingly dry and then heat-style my already-clean hair. I didn't realize quite how much all that business annoys me until the House of Lords gave me a chance to skip it. I'll go there again.
