Ok, I said I would never review this shop, ever. Not because they're bad. The opposite is true. This place is a gem. I've been coming here for over five years. I too, am from Southern California. I wasn't recommended here. I was desperate for a haircut. I don't do salons. I drove until I saw the words barber.
The inside of this place is just buzzing. It's spacious and interesting. The owner was my first barber. I've tried several barbers since. I get the full barber treatment here.
Recently, I noticed that Floyd Mayweather's training camp is located in the same plaza. I do recall driving around the rear of the plaza and noticing a RR Phantom. Thought it looked shady. Now I know who it belonged to.
This barber shop is about five minutes down the street from the Wynn and Palazzo. I recommend a taxi or driving. It's too far to walk from the strip. I'm going to Vegas this weekend for the Mayweather/Marquez fight. I'll be visiting Gerardo's like any other Vegas trip.
