Linda, the owner, is the best. Not only does she give a a great haircut. She is friendly, cheerful, and has a great sense of humor. My first haircut from her was in 1995 or so, when she worked in a shop on 9th Ave. It was perfect. and every haircut she gave me since, has been the same, just great. She has worked in shops on Irving, on Lombard, and now on West Portal, where she worked, and then bought the shop. I'll never get my hair cut anywhere else, period.

Linda does a good job and I'm always pretty happy with the results. She's always friendly and I can usually walk in and get a men's cut within a few minutes unless it's an unusually busy time.

Some of the other stylists are more hit and miss when they are there (some good, some not), so you may want to wait for Linda specifically if you're unsure.

If you want a cut, put your name on the list by the register and people are taken in the order they arrive and when the stylist (or any stylist if you didn't specify what stylist) has the next opening.

Overall solid. Staff is kind and place is nice and clean but certainly a no frills place and one that does not compare to a true banner of you are looking for a men's haircut. Still a place we go to on a regular basis because it is convenient and the job gets done nicely.
