| - Updating this review to bump it from 4 stars to 5 stars! After going here for most of a year, I'm a totally happy customer and still love this place! Joe is my regular barber now, but when he's not around any of the other barbers do a great job too. And Denise usually cuts my son's hair. Never a complaint! Read on to see my original review:
A real barber shop! That's where I told my son I was taking him when we went to Figaro's for a haircut several weeks ago. I went once, took him on my second visit, and just enjoyed my third visit there yesterday. Time for a review!
The barbers are very friendly, professional, take their time and have a great amount of experience. And the place looks and feels like a barber shop ought to. Everything on the walls is interesting, the music is never too loud, and you can even get a shoe shine. What I think I love most besides a great haircut, is the shop isn't based on a particular gimmick or theme to try and draw in business. Figaro's is a quality barber shop, knows it, and stands solidly on that fact. As a result, they don't hurt for business. By the way, mornings, lunch time, and late afternoons can be busy, but things are fairly quiet in the late mornings and early afternoons. Keep that in mind if you're on a schedule and intend to just drop in.
I've taken the first available barber on each of my three visits and all three haircuts were great. At some point I'll settle on a particular barber, but for now I'm still enjoying meeting each of them.
The price is right: $17 for a regular haircut, which includes cleaning up around your ears and neck with hot lather and a blade, a hot towel, and some tonic to cool things off. As with other good barber shops, there are additional charges for a shave, beard trim, custom cuts, etc. You can see all the pricing online, or posted clearly on the wall in the shop.
Figaro's is located in a storefront. In's easy to find and there's always lots of parking. Next time you or your kiddo needs a haircut, I highly recommend giving Figaro's a try.
