I thought I'd update my review since there are some recent negatives. I'll just keep it simple:
If you want a good haircut, with an old skool vibe (a la kustom culture, rockabilly, or nostalgia) - this is your place.
If you want a basic haircut from experienced barbers with no frills - this is your place.
If you want a beer while you wait - this is your place.
If you want a mediocre "factory" hair cut, done by a talkative, petite lady that won't shut up about her kids, and keeps laughing and gossiping with the 15 other hens in the shop - This is NOT your place.
The barbers aren't the most talkative? Big deal. They cut your hair and do a damn fine job. The more often you go in, the better the hair cut gets. You have to wait sometimes? I see that as a good thing, even if it can be frustrating. It means a quality local business is doing good, and they're likely to be around the next time you need your ears lowered. And for the community that admires a nice pompadour, that's a must.
It's like this: Great haircut. Fair price. Cool atmosphere. Leave the latte at home. Put your cell phone away. Relax.
'Nuff said.
