    Come for the precision haircuts, stay for the stellar people

    I loved Charles's spot; it was probably one of the most vibe-y barbershops I've ever been to. Charles does great hair, but also takes good care of you conversationally and plays good music. I'd fly back up here to get another haircut, and if I move to the Bay, I will exclusively be coming here.

    My 91yo Uncle had a great first visit with Charles and is looking forward to returning.
