Let me preface this review by stating that I do no like getting my hair cut. Trips to the barber have always been like trips to the dentist in that I don't really want to go, since I'm not going to like what happens in the short term, but I recognize that I should go, because it's in my long term best interest to do so.
Now that being said I actually enjoyed my experience at Carlyn's. Her one chair shop was quiet, she struck just the right balance between no-nonsense hair cutting silence and frivolous banter, and most importantly she was able to make some sense out of my vague attempt to describe what I wanted done with my hair, and give me a haircut that I liked instead of merely tolerated.
I might not dread getting my hair cut the next time I decide that my mop needs a trim.
