    Flew into town for a convention and badly needed a haircut and a shave. To be honest I just googled haircut near me. I randomly called to find out about pricing…
    Michelle promptly answered and gave a very affordable price and scheduled me right away.
    This barber shop is uniquely located in the basement floor of the legendary Gunther Hotel. Enjoy a gander at all the history and memorabilia on your way in.

    Michelle is so very enjoyable to chat with and a completely seasoned professional in her field, taking time and paying attention to detail.

    I highly recommend the experience location and wonderful haircut!

    Daniel is the best barber we’ve been to! He’s friendly, kind, and so patient with my son, which makes every visit a great experience. Scheduling appointments is easy and convenient. Highly recommend!

    The best barber shop in town! Daniel took the time to listen to my needs and delivered a perfect cut. The shop’s vibes and rich history also made my experience extra special. Will definitely be returning!
