Over the past year or so I have been bouncing around barbers to find someone that can do a proper fade (much like when I used to when I lived in NYC) but many places around here just didn't impress me as to the quality of work. These guys do a great job! Prices are a little higher compared to some budget barbers ($15-$20 range) but considering they do give military discount and they do a great job I would rather pay the higher price for the cut that I want than seven dollars for something that would result in my shaving my head because of a horrible cut. I have had great fades every time from these guys. The only difficulty with this barber shop is that they tend to do such a great job that there is always a line when I do a walk-in on Saturdays. Overall I would rate the quality of cut five stars along with the service and friendly atmosphere. The wait times can be up to an hour plus if you just show up during a busy time so know that before hand. I would almost suggest scheduling an appointment with these guys to get in quicker. I haven't tried making an appointment but that is my next step. The quality of work that these guys do is so good I don't mind overlooking the fact that they have a high demand.
Ok, just went back for a second round. Made a reservation, got there on time, waited for 30 mins and still had two people in front of me which at these guys pace means another 30-40 mins. I had to leave. Who has time to wait around for over an hour to get a haircut? Not sure what the point of making a reservation is if they will not honor it.... Slow as molasses. I will say though, they are slow because they take it seriously and seem to know what they are doing. If you have time, it's worth it. If not, find another spot.
Biggest problem is the owners are almost never there. They cut hair well and quickly. The other guy that works for them is decent, but he is slow as christmas, for a very simple haircut its 30-45+ mins. And he is usually the only one there, so there is always a line.
Apparently these guys like to take lunch during business hrs. I walked in at 2:15 PM and sat down. The barber immediately told me he was going to take lunch so come back later. Ended up going to Golden Spike Barber a half a block north and was pleased that they actually work during business hrs and don't take a siesta. Looks like Golden Spike will get my business from now on!
There is bit of a wait sometimes. However it because they know what they are doing. Thanks for the great cut.
