Customer Review Summary
Regulars return for a friendly, welcoming barber and a haircut that matches what was asked for, with several describing years of going back and a cut that stays consistent every time. One reviewer brought a photo to base a style on and says it was nailed, and another was helped through growing their hair long for the first time. Reviewers repeatedly call the prices low or fair, and one describes the shop as clean and warm, where a customer with autism says they feel comfortable and relaxed. Another notes the barber gave up a lunch break to cut a father's hair so he would not wait in the heat. The one sharply negative review describes a cut that ignored a request for a number 5 on the sides with a slight trim on top, with the clippers taken high enough that the top came out as short as the sides, one side longer than the other, and a floor covered in hair. That reviewer also found no prices listed, cash only payment, and felt the cost was a rip off. Several others praise the barber for taking his time until the customer is satisfied.

“Gian is lovely and polite and gave up his lunch break to cut my dad’s hair so that he doesn’t have to wait around in the heat. Very pleasant and chatty, will be definitely going back for all future cuts.”
- Kieran Mather

“I’ve been going to Gian’s barber shop for years and I always have a positive experience. As someone who has autism I find getting my hair cut to be a tough experience. But every time I feel comfortable and relaxed to be in this clean and warm space.”
- Paul
“Gian is a great guy and he always cuts my hair with quality, as requested. He really helped me style my hair as I was growing it long for the first time and kept it looking fresh. He was happy for me to show him a picture to base my style on which he nailed! He’s great with the scissors and the trimmers. Price is always very reasonable too! If you’re looking for a decent cut, without the high prices and pretentiousness, I highly recommend.”
- David Swift
“Gian has been my barber for 6-7 years now. He's always friendly and welcoming and genuinely cares about his customers and doing a good job.”
