| - I used to go to the same barber for 8 years. He was a Lebanese man whom was fun to talk to, but never showed up on time, didn't care to make me feel valued as a customer and loyal supporter, and pretty much "shoo-ed" me away once I was done getting a fresh cut. He had literally a 5 hour lineup at any time. Frustration brewed but I didn't have any options. If I wanted to look good, I'd have to tough it out and come back, even though I dread the clean up every two weeks.
My girlfriend told me about this new place down south that I should try. No thanks, I've been butchered too many times on the fly (when I was angry enough to try) by other barbers. There's something about that clean fade, that is impossible to replicate once you've found the right stylist/barber.
After realizing that I've had enough of shuffling my schedule around to see if my usual guy was available, even driving by every opportunity to check out the line up / wait line, like a creeper, I grudgingly went to Southtrail Crossing.
Wow.
This place is THE MAN CAVE. Foosball. TVs at every station. STACKS of current magazines laid out as if they knew you were coming. Showcases of men products (ladies, we like to shop too!), coffee/espresso makers with large selections ready for you to try.
These guys are SERIOUS!
I got in the chair, and my barber, was AMAZING. Turns out he was the owner grinding out his new business. He not only cleaned up my head expertly (making my original guy look like a chump), but he lotioned up my face with a refreshing hot mixture, and shaved my sideburns, chin, neck, back of neck, all followed by an unexpected hot towel to clean up my face, and the most surprising finish of all. He vacuumed my head, sounds ridiculous, but it was very pleasant and didn't leave any hair on me when I left his chair.
I am not a SUPER supporter, and appreciate the amazing business this guy has done. I wish every business owner valued his company image and branding like this guy. Service is TOP NOTCH.
