After coming here, I don't think I'll be doing that anymore.\n\nFor an exceedingly reasonable price, the owner spent over a half hour on my not particularly difficult hair. The ambiance in a barber shop is particularly important, and although I came when it was not crowded, I still felt comfortable--enough so that when he had finished cutting my hair, I decided that I'd get my goatee trimmed at the same time. Let me tell you--he put my home grooming efforts to shame.\n\nThere's nothing like a hot towel massage, a straight razor, and high-quality lather to put you in a good mood for the day. I was debating going to the a nationwide haircutting chain a few blocks away, but I'm glad I came here. Seriously, it's only $4 more to come here for a standard haircut, and worth every penny.\n\nBTW-- Yes, he's definitely from NYC, and he's probably Jewish. I don't know about you, but I like my pizzas, my sandwiches, and my barbers to be both."^^ .
