    What a nice surprise to find that my barber was Gary, the same fellow who used to cut my hair at the Naval Medical Center 25 years ago! And it was a first class haircut as always!

    Great old fashioned barber. He paid immaculate attention to my haircut and it's one of the best haircuts I've ever had. 10/10 will go back if I'm in the area again.

    Gary has been cutting my hair for over 20 yrs. He is the best!
