No-nonsense haircuts for dudes!…read more Having been here a couple of times, I can say that it's a great little neighborhood resource for all your hair care needs. There's one guy I've seen who seems to cut guys' hair, but I've had the ladies do it for me because he wasn't around when I stopped by. Often, there's no wait, and on my most recent trip, I had a chance to watch "The Price Is Right" while getting my hair did. Funny, too, because the price was exactly right for me ... just $10, not including tip! Granted, I don't know if they could sculpt a hairdo like that Vanilla Ice character we all used to listen to in the old days, but in a pinch why not?!

If you need a quick doobie or trim, a not so quick feathered look or even an ever heavier style such as a relaxer, this is your place. The owner makes a mean cafe con leche and the staff are as great as the coffee. The prices are low and if you don't need anything special in particular this is your place.

THE MUSIC Track 1 - Lady Gaga Remix Track 2 - Cantonese Music Repeat and Remix..... THE WASH The massage reminded me of Vietnam. Who massages people hair these days for a regular haircut? This place! It's so weird; I'm not used to a head massage from my washer. Neck, ears, temple. Only the fingertips, no nails. (I'm not really into massages, so it didn't really relaxed me... just wondered how long it would take =P) Good job though, kudos for the extra effort! THE CUT My randomly assigned hairstylist was Terry. Terry didn't introduce himself, I found out who he was when I paid. I'm not sure if Terry spoke English either. It was weird, but I just took a chance that he spoke Canto because of the background music. I basically need a trim with bangs and that was communicated though. He doesn't seem much of a conversationalist (I don't mind), but I didn't like that he brought up that I have thin hair. Then again Istana and Cutting Edge have commented about my thin hair (and I haven't been back since). He got my bangs right and trimmed the high layered hair well. Fast, prompt, cordial. RANT So it's thin hair. It's not much to work with. Yea, but if you're a good hairstylist, it shouldn't be an obstacle. And I would know that I have thin hair. Unless it is constructive about my hairstyle at the moment, don't bring up the thin hair. PAYMENT There are tipping jars at the reception desk labeled with each stylist name so that you don't have to hand the tip directly. TL;DR Trendy Canto place. Quiet non-chatty, non-selling, no-pressure atmosphere. Everything is perfect if only the stylist didn't hit my pet peeve =P

While…read moreI appreciated being squeezed in, this is clearly a high-volume chop shop -- clients were in and out within 10-15 minutes. I have long hair. The wash was bare minimum (I had to brush it myself), the cut was a rushed straight-across trim, and when a small knot couldn't be removed, that section was simply cut shorter. The blow dry was almost nonexistent and only done after I insisted; it wasn't fully dried and was finished with a flat iron. The entire service took about 20 minutes and cost $90. These prices might make sense in LIC or Manhattan, but the service here isn't remotely comparable. The space is run down, there's no atmosphere, and no real customer service. It felt like a rip-off, and I won't be returning.

I decided to go with the two strand twists and Jessie was my lady to do it! Started off with a wash and condition, blow dry and trim, and then the twisting began.

Following the twists, the Barber at the shop lined my up, gave me some helpful tips in regards to my beard, and finished the look with a clean razor line.

Atmosphere: There is one flight of steep stairs leading up to the entrance, with approximately 10-15 steps. The place is well-maintained, with clean floors/chairs, and comfortable/clear lighting. There are more than 5 seats available and an ottoman for waiters. Wait time: I went Sunday evening at 6PM and there was no one else there. I was seated right away. COVID: No temperature checks or plexiglass set up, but all 3 workers there were wearing masks. Service: The owner was polite and greeted me as I walked in. I requested a haircut, she told me the price, then directed me to sit and assigned a hairdresser my way. The hairdresser that took care of me was nice and friendly. She did not try to make small talk with me, but that's completely fine. It was a relaxing experience. When I showed her pictures, the owner was attentive and came over to make sure she understood exactly what I wanted before the cut. I don't believe the staff besides the owner speaks much English. Cut: The handwork was professional, she knew what she was doing. She used multiple scissors/clippers and wasn't aggressive. It did not take very long, maybe about 30 minutes. She took her time to make sure the layering and shaping up was perfect. She asked me if I wanted a wash and/or hair gel after. It came out looking like the pictures I showed her. Surprisingly, she cut my hair exactly how I want it (I usually have to mention to barbers to cut it shorter or round off the edges). It seems like she knew what "look" would fit me best the first time she saw me and I was impressed. When I went home and checked in the mirror, there were a few stray long hairs left near my ears (probably because of the mask). This didn't bother me much since it's not that uncommon with other barbers. Not saying it was the best haircut I've ever had but I would come back here.
