You can go in the shop and see two people ahead of you and think you are good. Then you realize that half the barbers are only taking appointments and the other two are taking walk-ins that signed up on the computer as indirect appointments for the next available barber and then left the shop to come back in an hour. So they are extremely busy all the time and walk-ins are a thing of the past. If you want to build your day around a very good haircut, they are excellent. They used to be walk-in and cash only. Take a number and wait. If it was crowded then maybe you stayed or came back another time. Now, you have to login to a computer, give your name and number and select from who is available for service and THEN it will tell you the wait time and schedule your appointment. Maybe. The computer is not prominently displayed, so you just have to know where it is and how to use it. All of the excellent barbers are attending their clients or studiously avoiding your gaze, so you are left to your own devices to get in the system. The place has always been busy and used the first in first out system. I am not sure what problem this system solved, but I saw several clients coming in and not knowing what was going on because it was literally an iPad laying on a counter near the now-empty number machine. It's now a hair salon that cosplays as a traditional barber shop, albeit a salon that gives a great haircut.

I've been traveling across the US for the last 6 weeks visiting all the IG worthy spots between San Francisco and NYC, and I was definitely needing to be cleaned up. He listened to what I wanted, and was receptive to pictures of my usual haircut, and I was lined up, and beard trimmed 15 minutes later!! Very impressive. This is cash only but there is an ATM if you came unprepared. This shop is downtown and sorta close to the college, and is neatly kept with a sports wall recognizing many of the biggest names like Jordan, Tyson, and Ali. I might just move here for these haircuts!!

When I found out some of the guys that used to work at the Shoppingtown Barber Shop were starting their own place, I was excited. The new location is beautiful with new chairs, wooden supply areas, and a nice cooler for bottles of water and the like. The guys also started selling their own hair products, and I can happily report their paste hair gel is excellent. Cuts are still $15 which also gets you a warm shave of your neck/ear area. They also offer a beard shave or trimming which I believe costs a little extra. Give these guys a look - they are in the Guitar Center Plaza if you're having trouble finding them based on the address.

You're cheating yourself not to. Having recently moved to the area, I tried a few other places prior to my appt at Westcott. No other shop around here even comes close to the atmosphere, attention to detail, or finished product I got at Westcott Barbershop. Doug gave me one of the best haircuts I've ever received, and I'll be a customer, moving forward. Update: I've been going to see Doug for close to two years now. He immediately knew my hair to a T. Doug is intuitive and observant. My angles and preference are perfectly stored in his muscle memory. He needn't ask me how I like this or how I prefer that. We'll chat instead about pretty much anything. I swear he understands my hair's growth so well that everyday between visits is like a new haircut. He's that good, and my cut seems to grow in proportionately rather than "grow out." His cuts age like wine. It's magic. Westcott has the kind of vibe that can turn my week around in 45 minutes.

Doug has been my go-to barber, and he consistently delivers an outstanding haircut every time. His attention to detail and reliability make every visit a great experience. Beyond the great haircuts, Doug is just an all-around great guy--easy to talk to, friendly, and always makes the appointment enjoyable. I recommend Doug and his team to all my friends. If you're looking for a skilled barber in a welcoming atmosphere, Westcott Barber is the place to go!
