I have finally found a place that does proper fades. FINALLY. I came in on a Sunday afternoon as a walk-in and there were quite a few people in there. I basically had to wait until a barber was open to take me. The barber shop itself is actually pretty legit, basically a typical barber shop with a lot of posters from boxing matches, etc.
After about 15 minutes of waiting, Gerardo himself had me sit and gave me my haircut. Man let me tell you... I don't understand why I have never gone to this place in the 13 years that I've lived in Las Vegas. I always went to great clips or whatever and I seriously regret every single trip. This guy literally did the fade, haircut, and trimmed the edges with an old school razor in about 25 minutes...and it was entirely symmetrical and on point!!! Legitimately the best haircut I've ever had. The people at great clips or those other chains would take an hour on my hair and still manage to screw shit up!!!
I will now be a permanent customer at Gerardo's... I recently moved AZ for medical training, but I am literally going to drive and make the trip just to get my haircuts here. Call it a $75 haircut worth every penny. Next time I'll call and make an appointment haha. Thank you Gerardo!
