I'm in town from L.A. for work and stopped by Off the Map for a much needed haircut. First of all,…read morethe vibe was just what I needed as an old (very old) former skater and fan of skate and punk music. And, I was very impressed with how well the shop was put together with skateboard planks and art...with everything very evenly and meticulously spaced out. LOL! Simon cut my hair and did a great job. He is personable and friendly and has a great story. He took his time, got input from me about what I wanted, and delivered exactly that. We started talking about old punk bands and he played some of his band's music which was cool. (Sounded great, I'll definitely check them out!) With all of that and a skilled and friendly Barber, I thought the price made sense. Sometimes you do get what you pay for.... I will definitely be going back before I leave and will recommend the shop to my colleagues. In fact, I recommend Off the Map to everyone...

She did her thing and it turned out great! I always find it interesting letting people kind of decide what to do with the hair themselves.

Love going to Rocky's Barber Shop! Very relaxing vibe and…read morethe guys that hang out there, either waiting to get their hair cut, or just to visit are always friendly. Rocky gives a great haircut at a great price! Bonus: if you're a golfer, this is the place for you! It's almost like hanging out at the pro shop at the local golf course. Love it there!!

Rocky's an old time barber and been in business a long time. Recommended by my wife's family, Rocky is definitely old school. Gave me a true "Buddha Head" crew cut which will let me get a lot of days out of this buzz. He really liked my story of being from ID now, after bailing out of 30 years in Humboldt County, and moving to a free state. One of the other guys waiting for a hair job wanted to know what I meant by a "free state?" My opening for letting it all hang out: 1) we can carry a gun with no permit, concealed, 2) no one is banning straws, 3) we don't get charged a dime for a damn grocery sack, 4) we don't have no stinking sanctuary cities, 5) and a dozen other things. In turn, I found out Rocky didn't like having a pot head shop right next door. (Want a kick? Read the head shop reviews for Eureka.?) He also liked my description of being a retired logging engineer, "I liked my forests horizontal". So all in all, a neat barber and shop.

I haven't a clue as to how the associated picture of someone is posted here on the review. It's not me. (addendum 6-4-2015) T.C. - - - - - - - - - - Okay if I've got the right place this looks like an older style union shop with the barber pole and all and I think I'm reporting on the right barber but can't remember only that he's from way down pismo beach way from back in the day. Found his shop on google maps. There's another place almost across the street where I could have received the full California treatment, we're talking wax this and that, if I were to wait a couple more hours but hey I'm from the midwest and the last time I had wax on it was called butch wax when I was a pre-teenie. Taaa dumm dummm. So we are in Eureka, Calif. for about 3 days on our Pacific Coast trip and my duck curls were starting to form so the time had come to get some good buzz barbering going. I have to say ' AL ' if that's the guy, did a superior job on my hair. Getting it cut without a lot of muss and fuss. I told him that it was nice to get a haircut without the usual 50 questions on just how I want it done. I mean when I go to my normal place here in Madison, Wi. I'm festooned with questions like, what size clipper do you prefer, (Like I actually might know this), do you prefer scissors or clippers etc. AL didn't have to ask all those questions. I just told him I was getting long and needed some tapering up the back and sides, thin some if it needed it. Nothing technical, and he proceeded to give me the most perfect haircut I've had in years. Thank you AL! Noticing my mini-rant he told me the problem is that as we both noted that older style union barbers are a kind of dying breed and that anyone getting into the business now days must go to styling school(s) and they are taught differently than the classic barbering styles, at least for the male gender. He said his wife was a stylist and was trained that way too. So in the future as great barbers like AL and his kind retire or just plain die as my lifetime barbers have done back in Madison, Wi. I'm just going to keep getting those 50 questions in places like SuperCuts and CostCutters and their ilk. Anyway couldn't believe what a nice haircut I got at AL Sanders Barber Center. Or maybe it's Sanders AL. I really don't remember. BTW got other travel issues in Eureka? Bakery and laundromat on same street less than a block away. Check them out too. Oh yeah, needless to say AL picks up lots of local cop haircuts at this business too, so he reported during my cut. Buzzzzzzzz.
