I drove all the way from Loveland (over 75 minutes due to the I-25 construction bottlenecks) because several people on Yelp have said Mr. Lee is one of the few people who can properly handle the thick coarse hair on Asian skulls and that he's also the best in Colorado. Once inside, I found three other men waiting and one in the barber chair who happened to be Asian. The shop is somewhat small, with only three chairs. Mr. Lee was the only employee present or working and it looked like the other three people waiting were quite happy to wait their turns. That says a lot about how good he is. So I joined them, biding my time by reading old local newspapers and some gun-oriented magazines. Lee also has a few sports-oriented books and magazines available to read; it's definitely a male-oriented shop, and his price list notes that he only does haircuts for guys. Between customers, Lee took time to brush hair off the chair and a woman (his wife?) appeared from nowhere to sweep the floor and refresh supplies before disappearing again. We who were waiting didn't bother to converse and Mr. Lee didn't waste time chattering with the customers in the chair. In fact, he barely asked any questions when he invited them to take the chair and the repeated "See you next time!" closure told me they were repeat customers -- which suggested to me that he knew them well enough to know what they always liked. To my surprise Mr. Lee didn't chat with me, either, when it was finally my turn to take the chair. I had never been there before and it had been three months (rather than six weeks) since I had last gotten a haircut, but he magically knew exactly what I needed. "Quick trim over the ears." He surmised. It was more of a statement than a question, but he was psychically echoing my instructions to the various barbers I've had over the last thirty years, "Shorten everything." "Uhh...yeah." I confirmed, feeling amazed that he knew, just from a brief glance, exactly how I like my hair styled, "How did you know?" But Mr. Lee didn't answer. He had already turned away to grab the trimmer and attach the right length-limiter, after which he turned it on and set to work. I'll echo whast others have said: Mr. Lee is a master at his craft. As with the men before me, there was no idle chatter, no "Where are you from?" or even "How did you find out about my shop?" I have spent decades repeating to other barbers my specific instructions to avoid the crowns on my head that make my hair stick straight up if the cut is too short. Mr. Lee didn't make a comment about the crowns and didn't cut that area too short, either. He simply knew what to do. When he finished cutting my hair, Mr. Lee strapped a motor onto the back of each hand and gave me a wonderful neck and shoulder massage -- reminiscent of the post-trim massages I was treated to in Japan, thirty years ago. It was luxurious and actually took a knot out of my neck that had been there for days. Mr. Lee wrapped up by vacuuming away the hair on my shoulders and collar, and even trimmed something away on the back of my neck. All of that cost me just over $25 (I'll post a shot of his list) and, since I only had 3 tens, I gave him all of it. I would have tipped him more (I've given 100% tips before for such a great haircut, but those were home visits during COVID lockdowns), but I didn't have it in my wallet. I saw the previous customers tipping him $10 or more for his work. I will definitely be back and I'll tip him very well next time. I just hope they'll be done with the Wadsworth construction by then!

It breaks my heart to give this place a poor review. Initially I wanted nothing more than to rave…read moreabout it. The location is convenient, it's relatively affordable, and has a feel like a true barber shop should. However, the last time that I was there (during normal business hours) a sign had been left on the door reading, "Bank". That was it, no times given on when they would be back, nothing. No biggie, I'll just wait. I understand that this thing can happen--I'm a reasonable guy and have been in that same scenario before. A business card had been taped to the window next to the sign, so I called it. Went straight to voicemail. After an hour of waiting I was fed up. Other customers were waiting even longer than I had been--showing just how long the staff had been gone (at least an hour and a half when I left). Exasperated and untrimmed, I left. The true disappointment was not in being left high and dry, but in the staff's response to this treatment. When I voiced (politely) my displeasure at how I was treated, I was given the crude reply "Shit happens". Well, shit may happen but it also comes around.

I was discouraged initially by the negative yelp review which states that the owner was a racist, but I thought I would judge for myself.

History buffs: this barbershop is loaded with the neatest pictures and news paper clippings showing American history and barbershop antiques. The barber is also a wealth of knowledge when it comes to history and trivia. Excellent and enjoyable experience, good price, stop in a see for yourself!
