In a world where serving the customer's needs has become an afterthought at best, this shop is a…read morerevolution. At Higherstandards, they have taken a stand against the turn and burn mentality and refuse to let one of the cornerstones of the art go extinct. To start, I was looking for a unicorn. A barbershop that was open past 7:00 pm on a Sunday. I know, I'm kind of an @-hole. I scoured Yelp and thought I found a few near me. I raced over to each one and found exactly what one should expect. Not open, or not even there anymore. No surprise, but still a disappointment. I decided to expand my search radius. With the greater distance, I decided calling ahead was prudent. So with no expectations, but high hopes I dialed this shop with no reviews, no ratings, and a somewhat sketchy looking listing. After one ring, I hear a rather casual, "Hello?". I thought, " What do you mean hello? Don't you want to go give the name of the shop, or SOMETHING to indicate that this is a business? This seems like a wrong number. It sounds like someone's cell phone.". Well it turns out, it WAS a cell phone. He had the line forwarded after hours. This guy offered to go back to the shop and meet me if I wanted to get a cut. So, without hesitation, I mashed 20 miles to get a haircut. Yeah, I really needed to get it done, and yes, I should have taken care of it sooner if it was so important. Don't judge me. So, I get there, I think. All I could find was a shop that says Shorty's on the outside. I walked in to a very warm welcome. Good music on the radio, and an overall good vibe in the place. I can't quite put it into words, but something about the feel made me know that this guy was not messing around. He is there to work hard, perfect his craft and make a name for himself. As I tool a seat in the chair, he asked if I like sports. He put on the Stanley Cup finals. That scored huge with me. No one ever wants to put on hockey. The gam was over pretty quickly, so he asked me if I like comedy. The he busts out an iPad with a list of comedians on Netflix. He had entertainment covered on all fronts. So, while enjoying a comedy set, I got one of the best haircuts of my life. Great conversation asking the way. At some point, shaving came up, and I asked if he does shaves. He does, and he didn't mind staying even longer to do so. Excellent shave too. Nice hot towel, that he holds over your face to make sure it doesn't burn you, before wrapping it just right so it's tight against your skin, but you can still breathe. When the time came to settle up, he asked for so little that I felt like a criminal. I gave him $60 instead and still felt like I had come up on one hell of a deal. I had. If you know what's good, you'll pay a visit to Higherstandards and get the works.

This posed no challenge to the gentleman here who gave me one of the finest haircuts I've ever received. Limon is very skilled with scissors. After trying out a few lengths and getting the go-ahead from me, he went to town on it like Edward Scissorhands. I was a bit nervous at first but he looked like he could do this in his sleep. Needless to say, it turned out awesome. He was even able to thin out my 'fro to a manageable density. $18 for a haircut, which is a little higher than I usually pay, but I do believe it's worth it. This is an old school one-chair shop. You'll only chit chat if you feel like it, otherwise just relax with the sounds of 1940's Big Band and let this man make you look like a champ again.

Jordan was amazing, friendly, and listened to every single small detail I had requested for my fiancé's haircut, which was a modern mullet. His customer service was above and beyond! I appreciate how he would ask either myself or my fiancé on the look and took note on the small changes we wanted done. He definitely took his time with the service (so ladies drop off your man and go get your nails done) ensuring every small detail was perfect. He also trimmed/shaped my fiancé's mustache/beard which turned out amazing ! Highly recommended and we'll be returning customers.
