    One employee was telling racist jokes about Asians while I, an Asian, was there.

    Haircut and price are solid though.

    Mediocre cut and poor business practices. Will not be returning.

    Great place for a haircut. Reasonable prices and they do such a thorough job. I drive 25 mins for this place and it's worth it every time.

    Excellent barbers. You need to make an appointment ahead of time, but they usually have plenty of availability a few days out. $28 for a men’s haircut (plus tip), cash only. They’re always willing to chat and are also happy to let you watch TV in quiet. My barber of choice for a long time.

    Easily the best barbershop in town. Great prices, consistently solid haircuts, TVs right in front of the chairs, and the barbers totally respect whether you're in the mood to chat or just sit quietly. If you're looking for a clean, classic men's haircut without the trendy fuss, this is your spot. The couple of negative reviews seem to be from folks expecting a salon experience--this place isn't that, and that's exactly why it's great. Five stars for doing the basics right, every time.

    How do you get through for an appointment? I called the number but it just said the wireless customer did not pick up.

    The shop actually stops taking new customers in at 4 PM and not 5 PM. Also, ALWAYS, call before going in - they might not accept a walk in. Will try a haircut here later and update my review basis the same

    Went to get a basic men’s haircut—took much longer than it needed to. Barber spent about 15 minutes on the sides (?) and then all of 2 minutes on the top. The loud maintenance going on inside the store was super distracting, and since the chairs face away from the mirror, you can’t see what your hair looks like until they decide to show you. I kept trying to turn around and look but the barber stood in the way.
