I was working at my client's business down the road and had enough with my long hair. So after looking at the reviews, seeing how close he was located and seeing he only charges $8, I went to go try this place out on the spot.
I have a few other barbers I would probably go before this place but I felt like taking Yelp risk and give Carl a shot! First of all this place is small, he has 2 chairs, not sure if he has another barber but Carl was the one and only guy there.
As far as aesthetics, he has a little TV with local channels playing. There are ton of magazines that are dated but enough to keep you entertained. Then after a 5 minute wait on a Monday afternoon, he was able to sit me right down. We shop talked while giving me a haircut.
I had one of the simplest cuts I've ever requested in my life so I can't say how well he does on something more challenging, but he said he has been cutting hair for 22 years and has been in this location for 20. Good enough for me.
My haircut looks good. I've gotten a couple new compliments on the new style and again, it's only $8.00! He seemed shocked that I gave him a tip for more than $1.00 and seemed genuinely grateful.
It seems a big part of Carl's biz is snowbirds since I seen nothing but boat sedans in the parking lot and the person in the chair when I got there and the person waiting when I left looked like they all qualify for the early bird special at JB's (what you know about that!). Either way, give Carl a try for your haircut.
