After all these good reviews I thought I would head out there. I'm new to the area so I was really…read morehoping this would be a good one. I love simple barbers that are no bs and just cut your hair. I don't need fancy product or a seminar on how you completed barber school. Just cut my hair, do it well, and be entertaining. Scott, the patron, fit all those requirements. Came in 30 minutes before closing on a friday and saw he had one customer already. He said of course I can fit in a new customer. While waiting for my turn I could tell that Scott and his customer had a great relationship. Seems like they've known each other for years and joked about a lot of things. Then a lady and her kid walked in and Scott immediately asked if this kid was the son of a guy he used to work with 25 years ago. How impressive is that?? He continually impressed me with his memory and knowledge. The haircut was great and very impressive for a first attempt. The location is very nice too. No doubt that I will be coming back to Scott regularly for my haircut. Did I mention that he massages your neck with some sort of vibrating machine?? It felt wonderful.

So I figured I'd try Scott because he was recommended by a neighbor, and I was shocked at how cheap the prices were and still are! So I figured it would take at least two haircuts for me to look human again and then finally maybe by the third month I could start building a decent head of hair again. Well literally I know that Scott works magic, and I walked out of there on that first visit with a punky and smart and sexy haircut I will never go anywhere else and I'm glad Scott is younger than I so I don't have to find somebody new Thank you so much for such high quality service, and over the years I have seen Scott work with small children before school and he is great with children. 10 gauges them on their level while they're in The barbers chair until they are comfortable and by the time they know it the haircut's over and they're smiling. So I give Scott 10 stars out of five, whether it's for a man or woman or a child you're going to do your best at Mel's Place barbershop

I know barbers can't fix ugly but... Waited half an hour after scheduled time... Somewhat my fault…read morebecause I was unclear with what I wanted... but anytime someone Abe Lincoln's me and makes me look Amish by taking my mustache down to almost nothing, you've ruined my beard. My hair... might as well have been making scissor sounds with your mouth because it basically was not cut... except for hard lines by side burns and neckline. The hair is somewhat my fault, I'll say, due to my communication. The barber who fixed my hair at another shop seemed to think it was flawed execution, too. Bad haircuts happen every now and then but also: this barber... she kept talking and not cutting and the cut took forever. But my other thing is the vibe of the shop: it's a bro vibe. I'm too old for that. I think the guy with the dog is pretty good and professional. One barber in there was going on and on about politics and conspiracies when I went in there a few years ago. Annoying, loud, not my vibe. The other thing is I texted who I think is the biz owner and I don't think they give a s***. It's awkward to receive a bad cut - I feel bad complaining - but 1) no one wants the Amish look 2) hard lines on longer hair like that + no shape to anything else - just say you can't cut longer hair and give me a fade 3) bro vibes 4) owner didn't care (they said to text the number). The cool thing is it inspired me to buy clippers for my beard and hair. It prob won't go great but better than the cut I received from my barber.

I asked if they specialized in high and tights, was told yes by the lady who picked up. Guess the owners were obsessed with James Dean, odd. Shop was clean, nobody in the shop other than Thomas. Sat down, Thomas began cutting me up. My hair wasn't that long and complex, pretty much has to cut was was grown over 2 weeks from previous barber. NOPE. he proceeded to give me an undercut on one side and attempted a fade on the other. You can tell when you get an inexperienced barber when they're talking to themselves while cutting you up. Thank god the haircut was $16 for whatever this is. I tipped cause I always do. But stay far away from these barbers. Pretty sure sports clips would of given me a better cut and closer to what I asked for than this!

This comment is directed to Tom R. You obviously are not…read moreaware that in a barber shop which is primarily appointments, they still have down time sometimes. So they are wise to have "walk ins welcome" on their window, because sometimes they have an empty slot where they can fit in a walk in. Or the walk in will make an appointment for later since he is already at the shop. My advice to you Tom, is to either accept the business model of this establishment, or find a barber shop that is ALL walk ins. Some barber shops will have one barber accepting only walk ins, while the other barbers do appointments. But then some people become irritated walking in and finding they must wait on one barber when other barbers are finishing their patrons but need to wait on their next appointment, so they are doing nothing for a little while. Patrons like this need to just find a walk-in only barber shop. Period.

First of all, the price online was about $10 lower than what I was charged (images below I only…read moretipped a few $'s). John Stadler gave me the worst haircut of my life here. Never before have I had to fix multiple parts of it myself with scissors. The first time I went I was cut by a girl who left me with uneven sideburns, but an all around acceptable cut. The second time was years later and John was my barber and messed up a simple Caesar cut so badly it is embarrassing. It is overpriced and the quality has been very bad. No idea how the owner cuts hair, but he hires people that can't cut properly. Go to Brian's barbershop or Steel Haven across the street.
