| - Nobody likes to leave their old and comfortable barber who is already used to the desired hairstyles of the customer's choice. But being that my previous barber was 280 miles away in Los Angeles, I knew that I needed to maintain a consistency in cutting my hair even out here in Las Vegas. So during work(which I'm currently at now while I write this review) I did some extensive research on local barbers who know how to cut a fauxhawk. Nelson's seemed to be the most convenient location for me. The first couple of calls I made were failures, probably cause they were occupied on the other line but eventually I got a hold of them to schedule an appointment, only to discover that they don't do appointments. So after work, I walk in and was mildly greeted by an Asian woman(don't know her name). I didn't have to wait and was immediately attended to. Wow, was I impressed! This lady can cut. And I'm almost confident enough to say that she is arguably the best barber I've had. Even for a first, I was extremely impresed with the amount of skill she has. She's also very meticulous and always tries to make sure that she cuts your hair based on what YOU want. And then she asked me if I wanted to get a line-up and such. Normally, I never do line-ups cause I thought I would look weird with them but she proved me wrong!
The funny thing about this place is that they have some sort of menu specifying the price of each style of haircut. Fauxhawk was $13 while a normal men's cut is $11. Very creative and original.
The reason why I subtracted a star for my review was that because on my second visit, I was about 4 heads behind the barber(very popular I suppose), and then one of the gentleman that work there told me that the people in front of me set appointments so that I should get my cut with another Hispanic lady(don't know her name). She was very courteous and an above average barber but I wasn't too impressed with my hair. Don't get me wrong, if I was under pressure and strict schedule, I would have her cut my hair. But if I didn't consider those factors, I would take the lady who cut my hair the first time. Nevertheless, expect to see me here again!
