Finding someone who not only does an amazing job but also has the patience and understanding to work with my son means so much to me. I'm extremely grateful we found Ray and would absolutely recommend him, especially to other parents who may have a child who needs a little extra patience and care.

Walked in, got accepted as a walk-in, and had a cut with David, great guy. I've been doing my own cuts for years, so it was nice to actually sit in a chair again. Fyi the shop is a little hidden, although I found that part kind of fun, a little exploration in a town I didn't know was nice for a change. It's behind the Duffy rental dock. If you're on Main Street, pull in and keep going toward the dock, there's parking there. Inside, it's quiet and chill. Oscar, the owner, was great to talk to. The place overall had very welcoming vibes, not standoffish or "too cool". A mom was leaving with her two boys as I walked in. I'd bring my son here for a haircut for sure, which might be soon.

Kenny Butler is the true embodiment of what a real barber should be. His shop has that perfect vibe -- clean style, smooth jazz, and a super chill atmosphere. Every time I walk in, he somehow finds time for me, no matter how busy the day is. He's fast, precise, and always gets my haircut exactly right. It's one of those places where you sit down, relax, and just know you're in good hands. Kenny's the guy you stick with once you find him. read more

I am desperately looking for work and needed a decent haircut and when I went in my hair was down to the bottom of my neck and I just asked for an my inch of hair on top of my head. But he kept trimming and trimming and trimming and I was facing away from the mirror and had a really bad feeling. Then when he turned me around. This is what I saw. Proceed to the picture. It was $35 and I tipped the guy $10 because I'm just a good tipper no matter what. But I was devastated honestly. I know it's just hair and it grows back but come on man. I can't even spick it with pomade for heavens sake. I'm really not trying to be mean. I'm just voicing how I feel about it and didn't even bother going back into the barbershop to complain because I didn't want to embarrass myself. But there you have it. It is what it is and I'm moving on. Not all barbers are the same, which is why I wish I could give you the name of the guy that cut my hair so that you could have a heads up. God bless and have a good day everyone. Wow and he even takes a shot at me by leaving a comment saying I'm high as a kite talking to imaginary people when I I don't do drugs at all. I can't because I'm on probation and I get tested. I'm perfectly sober and perfectly coherent and I wasn't talking to any imaginary people and I think that that's a really low, unprofessional shot at a bad review on Yelp. Maybe you should address bad reviews in a more professional manner. Mr. Elijah owner.

The chairs are super comfy. The barbers don't bother you if you don't feel like talking. You don't feel obligated to have to converse. When I arrived for my first hair cut, the barber asked me "Would you like me to clean you up?" I said "sure". I was a little apprehensive and thought "maybe I should be a little more specific on my end." What he did was shape my hair perfectly and evened out the messiness from the previous full cuts. I was so impressed. Granted, this means I have to get my hair cut more often but the prices here make that possible (best prices in town). Since then I have tried 4 of the varying barbers. They are all amazing in their own right. They are all comfortable instituting their own style. It's too small for me to notice but I can notice there is a subtle difference. The best part about it is the confidence: it allows you to feel really good about your hair. I know that if I leave it unstyled that it will still look great. Although when it is styled, it looks the best.

He pays attention to the small details, listens to what you want, and delivers a clean, sharp cut every time. After going to him for this long, there's a reason I've stayed loyal -- the quality has always been there. The shop itself is clean, welcoming, and has a great atmosphere.
