    Great cut at a fair price! Since Covid, I'd let my hair grow longer than it usually has in the past decade or so. It's summer so I decided to go short again. John gave me a great scissor cut and I really enjoyed it. I didn't say much about what I wanted, I just let him use his 60+ years of experience. Quick and easy and a good beard trim too that I didn't even ask for. Definitely be going back.
