| - Needed a haircut...**Crosses fingers** Yelp app, don't fail me now!
It led me to Nelson's. A 4-star rating and in close proximity to where I was working was enough for me to come on in. Upon entering, I saw a woman cutting a dude's hair and an old man sleeping on a chair. Uh oh. That old man was to be my barber. I think if he didn't have an amazing mane on his head, I would've waited for the woman. He eventually woke up and got to cutting with not one bit of chatter and a disgruntled, unfriendly 'tude. I'm not sure why he was upset, but the dude was tossing towels around and breathing all hard on me. Awkward. He ended up doing a decent job (most barbers get a bit heavy handed), but I couldn't get out of there quick enough.
The place has plenty of chairs, but only two were people working (given it was a Monday at Noon), so I can tell why there might be a wait on the weekends. Plus, it took about 25 min to do a fade, which seems excessive. For $12, it's a deal, but I might try a few more places out around town before coming back to this old school joint. If I wanted to feel awkward in a chair for 30min, I'd go out to dinner with my ex-wife.*
*Note: I have no ex-wife.
