Just had dinner next door when I noticed this place. Since I was flying back the LA the next day and really needed a haircut to look presentable, I decided to give these guys a try. I must say, I have never experienced anything quite like this! Inside is a throw-back to your neighborhood barbershop, complete with horse hair brushes, straight razors and loads of personality. The two guys on duty were of Latin origin and were engaged in animated Spanish conversation throughout my haircut with salsa music blasting from a jerry-rigged cell phone connection.
The guy who cut my hair listened to what I asked for, then said, "No. I'm going to make you like Boston PD". With that he went to work with the electric sheers, electric shaver, various creams and lotions. Then out came the straight razor. I'd never seen one before. He made quick work of any stray hair that was left. Finally, he put some kind of menthol finishing cream on my face and placed a hot towel over it. But wait, to finish things off, hair gel, of course!
This wasn't a haircut, it was an experience ... all for a very reasonable price. I tipped the guy $10 bucks just purely for the privilege of having my hair cut by a guy who loves what he does and goes way beyond what you typically find in a Supercuts, etc.
I highly recommend Logan Barber Shop. It's an easy walk from the Embassy Suites hotel. read more
