Very satisfied with this place and will come again. The price is very reasonable ($35 + tip) given the level of attention to detail that the barbers put into your haircut. Mine took about an hour and, afterwards, I was given a bit of advice on how to style it (in light of some of the idiosyncrasies of my hair - thick and high density). The shop also has its own brand of hair products which I got to try. The price for this is slightly high but - having experienced the product in my hair for a few hours now - I wish I'd purchased some. Next time I will.
Don't know what all the hate over appointments is for. I've never had any issues and have rarely even had to wait. Just make a booking online a few days early and you'll be good to go. As for the actual cuts, I've found them to be consistently good. The barbers put in time and effort to get you the look you want. If you are a repeat customer they'll make an effort to learn exactly what works best on you. Would recommend to anyone.
Accompanied a friend of mine who needed a haircut and shave the day before his wedding. We were both offered (among other choices) cognac, even though I wasn't a paying customer. The chat was good, the haircut was great and very speedy. Then came the hot shave and goatee shaping: expert-level. The price was reasonable considering how few shops will even do a hot shave these days. Will be making this my go-to from now on. My buddy looks like a new man for his nuptuals.
