    The real deal. I’d forgotten how nice it is to have my hair done by consummate professionals. I’m not a fussy guy and my hair is always low-maintenance. But this was still the best my hair has looked and felt in a very long time. If Ben suddenly goes missing it’s because I convinced him to come home to Toronto with us and work his magic there.

    Good haircut, just what I needed. Barber tried to talk me out of coming back in two weeks.

    Anderson Barber Shop is a true SLO classic—there's a reason it's been around for over 100 years! Their temporary spot is fantastic and still offers the same excellent haircuts and friendly service we've all come to expect. But I can't wait for them to return to their original location; nothing beats the atmosphere and charm of the historic shop. If you're looking for a real barber experience steeped in local tradition, Anderson's is the place to go.
