| - I went here because I needed a trim and the yelp review said one dollar-sign which to me indicated that they would be at a fair price without any excellent extras.
I was promptly seated (yes, the silent lady), and after a minimal conversation it was determined that I was to recieve a basic buzz cut. While sitting in the chair I noticed surprisingly many pictures on the walls of bald people. Not stylishly buzzed, but plain old Bruce Willis (and yes, he is in one of the pictures) kind of bald. Odd thing for a barbershop I thought to myself.
There is a difference between a barber that takes his or her time to do it right, and someone who just drags it out. I felt that the same activity and area of my head was done, redone and revisited. A surprisingly nice thing was warm lather and a straight razor was taken to my head. I didn't expect it, but I was totally OK with it. I'd be ok w a warning. Yes, a warning would been totally in it's place before razor sharp edge is put to my head.
After a decent amount of time she stopped, and the price was $20. For a buzz cut. That, to me, is quite a lot. I mean I understand that they need to get paid for their services, but $20. Nope, will not return here because of it.. But that reason isn't enough - the fade was nice, but the rest of my head is full of "stragglers". For "20" bucks I should not have to take scissors to my head. You guys know how hard it is to cut your hair while aiming in a mirror?! The distance estimation is off due to the perceived distance vs the actual, and your movements are inverted. GA-AAH!
I cannot recommend this place. For $20 I can go to a nicer barbershop and get my hair washed too. And next time, I will!
