I had a wonderful experience here. Like people have said, this is a barber shop, not a salon. Yes, the price is 31 dollars, but you get a %20 discount (26 dollars) on your first trip here. Plus, this is a full experience: you aren't just getting your hair cut. They are going to massage, wash, and cut your hair to the best style for your face and head in general. They then wash it again, and you have the option to have gel place into your hair. The stylists are very sweet, and are also well train in their craft. I love the haircut that they gave me, and I had a wonderful conversation with my stylist on different subjects that made the time fly by. If you are going to do this, I would recommend you make an appointment with them so you don't need to wait nor go on the luck of the draw by just walking in. They do accept walk-ins, may we add, but the place is generally busy, so having an appointment makes the experience that much smoother. Overall, a five star place for me. I will be returning every month to get my hair fixed up here, and will look forward to it each time.
This was my first time into Al's, I had read a lot of good things online about them when I was searching for a barber. At first the price threw me off just a little when I read the reviews, but let me tell you, it is worth every penny. My stylist, Marissa, was extremely nice and definitely knows exactly what she is doing. All I had to do was give her some idea about the length -short but not too short- and she knew exactly what she wanted to do. 30$ gets you excellent service here and I plan on setting an appointment monthly with Marissa. If you really want to look good, I'd suggest you do the same with any of the stylists. Again, wonderful visit, HIGH recommendation from me.
Great experience this is small business at its finest.
Firstly, this is a salon, NOT a barbershop. Babers cut hair dry and salons wash hair beforehand. My hair cut ended up looking great, although, in describing how I wanted it cut I mentioned a 1930s haircut style and she ha no idea what I was talking about. It was a touch expensive, but a good experience overall.
Al's is a totally cool place. Great atmosphere and a great vibe. The stylists know what they're doing. Megan cut my hair and was very sure she knew what I wanted and how to do it right, before even beginning. My favorite part: they do the old school neck shave with warmed foam shaving cream-- nice. Top notch, cool place, with great results. Check it out--it's worth the price.
