Customer Review Summary
Reviewers return to this barber shop above all for a straightforward gentleman's haircut, described as fast, high quality and done without needing to explain what is wanted. Several have gone for decades, with one citing more than 30 years and another going back to childhood, and many say they would not trust anyone else. The owner's 50-plus years of experience and the many apprentices who have trained under him come up repeatedly, and reviewers rate the apprentices, the female hairdresser and the owner's grandson as excellent too. Close behind is the price, which several call good or reasonable, along with easy conversation with the team. One reviewer in their twenties calls it the best haircut of their life, and another now brings the kids. A reviewer who is not a regular says it is not a place for a hair stylist's finish. Two women who walked in for a cut and blow dry, with no wash, were surprised by the cost but liked the no frills result, and the barber made one of them a coffee while she waited.
