I've been coming here for about 6 months now, every week and a half or so. In the 7 or so years that I've lived here I've mainly gone to 4 different barber shops (depending on where I lived). This place is interesting.... Never seen a place quite like it. Typically when I've moved to a new city, I try to find a good "ghetto" barber... pardon the expression. But typically the best barber shops are well.... not usually located in the best parts of town. When I moved to vegas I did the same.... found MLK blvd and viola! Good barber shops. But that's too far a drive....
Anyway, this place is good... similar style to your typical predominantly black barber shop.... although everyone that works there is hispanic. And it's located in the middle of China Town. Haha... They get a good mix of customers, mostly hispanic... but not a big deal, they almost all speak english well enough (one guy I can think of doesn't). I usually go early mornings and never really have to wait long... although later in the day they can get busy... and it's hard to tell who has appts. when you just walk in.
Bottom line.... they're friendly enough, and do a pretty good fade. That's all I need to know. Oh, and cash only.... although I believe they have an ATM there.
