Only thing I regret is not taking a pic so you can see the proven results. As to negative comments below, in regards taking "homies" before you. Yeah, that's what happens when you are a loyal customer, make appts and/Or tip really well.

He's not one to sit there and be quick, so if you want quick, go somewhere else. If you want someone to take their time, pride themselves in their work, and bend your ear, he's your dude. I went in the first time with an open mind. My second time, he got me damn near perfect, I say it like that, because anyone who knows about your relationship with a barber knows it's going to take at least 5 cuts to get things dialed in. I always, and I mean always only leave quality reviews on Yelp. If I am giving a review, it means I appreciate the overall experience and quality of service I'm paying for. With that said, Khalif is now my regular barber. Also, I would recommend setting a time with him up because if not, you might have to wait. Remember you can't have all three ever (easy, cheap, fast). For example, if you want it cheap and easy it's not going to be fast. If you want it fast is not going to be cheap or easy. He's a great guy and the staff are great in there too!

We have been coming to Eghan for the past seven months and I cannot say enough good things about him. From the very first visit it was clear that he is not just a talented barber, he is someone who genuinely cares about the people sitting in his chair. He takes his time with my boys and actually listens to what they want. He pays attention to their individual styles and never rushes through a cut. What means the most to me as a mom is how naturally and respectfully he works around my son's scar with no awkward questions, no hesitation, just quiet professionalism and care. That kind of sensitivity does not go unnoticed. What sets him apart even more is the relationship he has built with my sons over these months. He takes the time to get to know them as people, their interests, their activities, what is going on in their lives, and every single time we come back he follows up and picks up right where the conversation left off. My boys genuinely look forward to their haircuts now, and that says everything. He is kind, polite, easy to talk to, and he has a natural way of connecting with young people that is rare and refreshing. If you are looking for a barber who will treat your kids like they matter, not just like the next appointment, look no further. We are customers for life. read more

Definitely holler at him and book on his instagram@ ty_barber_sign3 I received the cleanest, smoothest, most relaxing low taper fade and a trim I've ever had on my long Native American style hair. Any style of hair you have he kills it every time. They're all str8 sharpshooter barbers from what I seen, there's never any worries when you walk in a shop like this and I love that piece of mind never tense. I myself was a walk in and got treated like I had an appointment. Great business and humble characters from the cleaning krew to the barbers all around hands down. He's on point with the details of his craft as if you are his art piece going to a Louis Vuitton fashion show in Hollywood with the flyest cut of your choosing . That was my take away experience. Dudes no joke I had a true gentleman's cut, a good experience, a perfect finishing new haircut smell all the honeys loved on me and will love on you too. Plus on top of that he's got a real calm n easy to talk too kind of Spirit in him for anyone that's maybe anxious or anti social. I'm quiet most of the time when getting a cut but this was a lot more comfortable than usual. Also If you have any kind of break outs I noticed he kept it professional and painless. For me that's rare if I have some kind of breakout. I'm glad I didn't go home with blood running down my neck in pain. I really appreciate his exceptional work, thank you. It's time for my haircut too match my tailored suit before I go close a few Mergers and Acquisitions Deals this month with that confidence I needed I'll see you next time TY.

You can tell it's the kind of place where people actually want to be. Christy was my barber, and she took incredible care of me--like I was a regular, even though it was my first visit. She hit every detail: a sharp cut, straight razor cleanup on the neck (which I didn't even realize I needed but now can't live without), trimmed my eyebrows, washed my hair--the works. And all of it at a price that makes you do a double-take in the best way. Bottom line? Hell will freeze over before I go anywhere else for a haircut. This place is the real deal.

When asked about the soup for the day, he had to check. When he said squash soup, I asked if it had cream, and he had no idea. 2. After we ordered, the waiter returned to say that one item was not available. I ordered another. Unfortunately, he did not take the unavailable item off the bill. 3. My entree was brought 7-8 minutes before my husband's entree. This should never happen. 4. After one bite of the soup, I decided not to eat it. It had blackened bits in it and tasted burned. When the waiter cleared, he asked if I didn't like the soup, and I explained. He replied that the chef likes to char his vegetables. Well, that might have been something he could have told me if he knew anything about the menu. 5. The unavailable item remained on the bill. We were given only a total with no itemization. After we left, I realized that the amount was way too high and we phoned. They said they would credit it back. Almost one week later, that hasn't happened. And finally, the food was meh. There are many better options out there. I'd skip The Spot and find somewhere else.
