| - I was looking for a haircut, just a buzz, a fade, whatever, while in Scottsdale for a few days on business. I am sooo stoked I found this place. Guys .. it's a classic barber shop, the kind you would treat your dad to for father's day, with the kind of cut/shave/conversation you expect a mafioso to have - in a good way.
Classy walnut/mahogany walls with flat screens and barbers with thick accents and jovial spirits. This place is similar to "the art of shaving" in New York City, only without the NYC prices, sorta.
My haircut was $25 and included a warm shave (hot lather, straight edge razor, etc) on the back of my neck and around the edges, warm towel, etc.. I event got a neck, shoulder and head massage, which was f'in awesome. I practically melted in the chair. The guy (Francesco, half italian/argentinian in his 60's) put this mechanical glove on, like robocop meets johnny 5 from short circuit, with vibrating chrome fingers. I didn't see anyone else there get this treatment, but then again, we struck up a good conversation in spanglish and I made sure he got a solid tip ($10) afterwards.
Next time I'll treat myself to a real shave, which is an extra $25, I think.
Men, I suggest this place if you want to go to a barber shop, if you're scared or hesitant to go to a salon or spa, or just want to treat yourself to something outside of a typical haircut. Nice people, nice haircut, cool relaxing experience.
