I found Uptown Barbershop through a buddy who was going for the first time too. Great group of guys welcome you & treat you like one of the guys. They have a great setup with tv's to watch and talk sports, cold drinks and a cool vibe.
Rony has great lineups of products no matter your hair type. Great thing is the products sell themselves but they take the time to teach you about them without any pressure. These fellas take the time to learn how you wear your hair, how often you normally cut it and work with you the whole time about getting a great cut the whole way.
This truly was one of my top three haircuts I've ever had. I highly recommend Uptown Barbershop as your go to head shop from now on.
