Great experience! For whatever reason, we've not had any luck with haircuts for my son at other salons or shops. He has somewhat coarse hair and it's pretty naturally curly. Every other place we've gone, we've ended up with bad haircuts. Then, we found this place on Google. Appointments are so easy to make. Atmosphere is great. They made my son feel very comfortable and even joked around with him. Chad was up front and honest when I didn't know what exactly to call the trendy cut my son was looking for and he explained the options well. He seemed confident in what he was doing...and he was! We got the first real great haircut he's ever had and we WILL be back!… read full review

Reviews
When you walk into Chad Stradwick's barbershop, you don't just get a haircut, you get a personalized experience involving quality social interaction- ranging anywhere from but not limited to: deep discussion, sports banter, or random animal facts, and you receive hospitable service from someone that has perfected their craft. Chad is one of the greatest barbers this area has to offer.
My 14 year old son wanted to go to "a real barber" so I scheduled online for an appointment with Chad at the Fade Cafe. When we arrived for the appointment, the service was fast & friendly. The atmosphere is great & comfortable. When we got in the car afterwards my son said he's never felt this good about a haircut in his life, other than the awesome mowhawk I gave him one summer when he was little, (which I think he might have said just to make me feel good, even though it was a pretty sweet looking Mohawk...) anyway, thanks Chad! We'll definitely be back! I hope I can add some photos later, but I wanted to review while I had time
