Linus is my own personal version of Cheers - everyone knows my name and I always have a grand ol' time whenever I drop by. The only way I could enjoy myself more would be if they actually served drinks but thankfully there's plenty of other spots nearby to do that.
I've been a regular client for more than two years and since the first day I stepped through those doors it's been a pleasure getting to know two of the coolest cats on the west side, Luke and Robin. They've a way of making you feel chillfully relaxed and they're somehow able to turn a haircut into a fun experience. The 30 or so minutes I spend there every month flies by, filled with great conversations about Torchiere recipes and laughs about Piranha sushi.
Robin is very professional when it comes to hairstyling, always taking the time to walk me through what we're going to do with my hair palette and often throwing in good suggestions for me to spice it up. I've always felt more than satisfied with the hard work she's done for me and very much enjoy the chit chat with her. It often feels more like catching up with a close friend than getting a haircut from a stranger. Linus is also flexible with pre-scheduling my hair appointments weeks in advance and they've always called me before to confirm, despite my inability to promptly answer my phone.
All in all, I'd highly recommend Linus Inc to all us west siders living in the College West and surrounding areas. In fact, I'd still continue to a regular client if I were forced to move to the east side. Yes, that's how much I love this place!!!
