I had been going to one of those franchise places for years to get my hair cut, until one day I got a flyer in the mail from this local shop. I live just across the street, and though I would try him out. Wow, what a surprise, Jakob the owner runs an old style shop, great clipper cut, with the razor on the neck and ears, and a hot towel and massage to finish it off. Like others have said, he is the real deal.
