I believe the barbers name was Sean, an elderly gentleman. My husband took my 9 yr old son to Yankee Barber and Sean gave him an awesome haircut today. My son jumped in the van and said "I feel like a whole new person! That guy was super nice!" After his last haircut with great clips, the lady questioned his choice of haircut and style and convinced him that she could do something better because she assumed it was "moms idea" and ruined his whole experience, he was worried and nervous about getting another one. My husband mentioned that Sean worked wonderful with my son, didn't pressure him to change his mind on his choice of cut, gave him suggestions and different options on how he can style his hair, he took his time and didn't rush and was beyond patient. Thank you Yankee Barber! My little boy has his confidence back.

Reviews
Every cut has been great. A while back I tried cutting my own hair and completely messed it up. The owner’s son fixed it and made it look amazing. Owner also cuts my hair regularly. They both take their time and really know what they’re doing. Great people, great service, and easily the best barbershop in town. Highly recommend!
Whenever I’m in Anchorage, I make it a point to stop by Yankee Barber Shop and ask for Omar. He’s professional, takes pride in his work, and treats every haircut like an art form.
