When my CostCutters connect had to stop working temporarily, I decided to make the move to a locally owned barbershop instead.
After reading reviews of The Spot on Yelp I decided to give them a try. It is everything that Yelp raves about and more. Quick, walk-in service (although Alex prefers an appointment so at least try calling first!) with a very reasonable price ($14, and don't forget to tip!) for a clean old-fashioned cut, neck/sideburn shave, and shoulder massage. My first trip there, Alex provided the best cut of my life and I have come back ever since.
Good laughs and conversation, and good vibes overall. There's usually sports on the TV and hip-hop on the radio which are bonus points in my book. As a brown man, it is hard to find a decent barber who can deal with an abundance of thick hair. Alex is Russian, and clearly has some expertise in this regard.
Check out Alex at The Spot if you are in need of a solid, reliable barber. I am sure glad I found this place.
