Whenever I'm in Delaware and in need of a quick haircut, I go to this place. I've probably have…read moregotten five to six haircuts here since 2017 when my parents relocated to Newark. The store is located on the main strip for the University of Delaware. The interior has about four barber chairs and they have retro style comic book artwork on the walls. They also play heavy metal, classic rock and grunge music usually on the overhead speakers. The place is brightly lit and is very clean. They get a mix of students and locals who come in for haircuts, beard trims and shaves. The service here is always quick and professional. They take payments by card, Venmo or cash. Just be mindful that there is no parking lot here so, you have to park on the street and pay at the meter. Also, the town parking attendants are brutal with parking tickets so, book a time in advance and allot enough time on the meter. Currently one hour is $1.25 and two hours (which is the max) is $2.50.

If you need anything other than a buzz cut this is not the place for you. The folks cutting hair…read morehere are accustomed to finishing with a client in 5 minutes or less. A young woman named Jean cut my hair and totally butchered me, today. She didn't at listen to my instructions at all and buzzed my hair way too short - she mangled the back too.

So I was being cheap and going to a local spot. There wasn't a lot of variety in the cut. the last…read moretime didn't work out well. I decided I didn't feel like styling my hair Anymore. I also wasn't looking in a mirror. That is until my wife started making fun of me. She was showing me photos of Jim Carey in Dumb and dumber. So I went in thhe bathroom and took a look. Goddamn I had straight bangs! I thought to myself I think I'll pay a little more next time. So a month or two passed and I still didn't know where to go. I've never found a spot that feels like home. So I was Perusing Yelp to see what was around that took walk ins. When I looked up Gents I saw it was a 17 minute walk and near Steap & Grind. Two pluses for me. Get there early grab a coffee and wait. I got there at 10:02 and they were already cutting. So I sat and waited. Conversation flowed easily between myself, the barbers and receptionist. I was having a pretty good time waiting. I think it helps to have women on staff so the conversational topics veer from misogyny and sports. Example: My old lady is such a nag I can't watch the game. I can't relate to either of these things. My wife isn't a nag and I do not watch sports. A lady that was there made several appointments online for her family but the online system fucked it all up. So the owner made sure they got their cuts at the time they meant to book which looked like great service to me. I ended up sitting down with Kim. I had some ideas on how to cover my bald spot. So I bounced them off her and she helped me select the best one. I was very happy witH how it turned out. She did not lead me astray. I will book an appointment with her again. They also had super cheap hair products for sale. Which is surprising since shit is normally super expensive. Anyway if you're looking for a spot to hang your hat and hang out.... this place has a great atmosphere as well as a great end result.

I went in asking for half an inch off the top and a low fade. Fade was a bit too high, more like a…read moremid fade, but I didn't mind. However, he cut the top too short and now I look a little silly (see photo attached). Right off the bat, the employee was distracting the person cutting my hair (the owner) by showing him instagram reels, scrolling on social media and answering phone calls in the shop. Right as the owner was about to start my hair, he left me in the seat and took a phone call from his girlfriend. Don't get me wrong, the owner is very nice and the vibes are good, it was just lacking on the professional end and he didn't quite give the cut I was asking for. Props for giving me a discount due to a PayPal payment error on their end

The first thing you'll notice when you walk in the door is the baseball memorabilia coving every inch of the establishment. There's even an autograph from Babe Ruth. The second thing you'll notice is the atmosphere. You have a staff of older guys and a woman who know everyone that walks in the door and they have a wonderful sense of humor and are constantly cutting loose and will have you in stiches. It's a wonderful place to people watch, and of course get a good haircut for about $13 bucks.
