    Accidentally had the wrong date booked but lucked out cause they happened to have a cancelation and fit me in. Super nice and attentive to your preferences and nailed it! Bly is awesome! 100% recommend!

    Vic is amazing! He is extremely talented and does top quality work. I've been going to Vic for the better part of 5 years and I can't imagine going anywhere else. The barbershop has an old-school vibe. He has vintage style barber chairs that have been refurbished. They're extremely comfortable and it's definitely something you don't see a lot of in this day and age. Whether you're getting a haircut, beard trim or both, I can't recommend Vic enough. He's the best there is!

    Victor always does an amazing job on my husband's and son's hair. I especially like that you get personalized service and attention. There is not a large room of other people waiting. I recently got a haircut myself and will definitely be back!
