I'm always incredibly pleased with the results. Everyone is very detailed oriented. I just went in today after doing my own color and they were nice enough to help get the staining off of my scalp. You can't beat the price. They always go above and beyond. It's very clear why they are always busy as they are the best!

4th owner in the 50 years I have gone there. Linda has retired and Jeanie (?) Is the new owner…read more With 37 years experience she certainly knows how to cut hair and has a wonderful chair side manner. Unfortunately that is where it ends. After asking how I would like my hair cut Jeanie kidding said " doesn't matter I do what I want anyway." And then does ! The hair cut is nothing like I had asked for nor is it a style I care for. If you are looking for a brand new look check her out, but if you expect what you ask for you will most certainly be surprised. Good news is.it will grow back

The cut was $30 and I definitely will be coming back once I am back in town again. There were about 6 barbers and all of them had clients.

They technically didn't close until 7pm, so I made it in plenty of time. Even after I explained we were there in plenty of time and that we were leaving for vacation the next day, she still just shrugged and refused to provide haircuts. Terrible customer service and for that I will never give them by business again. Furthermore, I will be spreading the word how uncaring, rude, and selfish of a hairdresser she was to me and my two young children.​​ so disgusting and disappointing.

Patsy's, and the Heart of a City The heart of a city doesn't…read morebeat in time to the rhythm of landmarks whose silhouettes are stamped on postcards. Its pulse doesn't shake the shopping centers or the offices or the multitudes they carry. It honors no arrhythmia before the Capitol or the architecture that has grown around it. Because it's often the case that the biggest machine lives and dies not by its most imposing part, but by the smallest pin in its center. It's easy to miss Patsy's Barber Shop if you're weaving through the traffic of State and Pearl. You have to know to take the right onto Howard Street and go slowly enough not to miss the white neon tubing that brightens the shop and casts just enough of its glow onto the sidewalk to let you see the barbers ply their trade. Patsy's opened in 1930 at the cusp of the Great Depression, when a proper haircut was a man's resume and the newspaper on the empty seat was the employment office. It was a family business, like many that had dotted the downtown and further south to the neighborhoods that would eventually be sacrificed to Nelson Rockefeller's sense of grandeur. William "Tragedy" Yager now presides over the memories absorbed into the mirrors and the padded chairs. Since 2006, he's followed in the footsteps of his great grandfather, a man who likely opened up shop as he always did on the day Japanese planes set off for infamy. And anyone who's had a seat in one of his chairs and a hot towel on their face knows that Tragedy didn't just inherit a trade; he inherited a love and a duty to everyone that crosses the threshold. A large man with a long, thick beard and a tapestry of tattoos lining both temples, he wouldn't strike you as a man you would want to meet in a dark alley. But again, the seat, the hot towel, two minutes in conversation, and you'll realize that he's exactly the man you would want to meet in a dark alley if your car broke down, if you were cold, hungry and scared, if everybody passed you by. Because there are certain things you can expect from those possessed of the instinct of leadership. But what you may not expect is that sometimes, the places where matters are truly decided accept walk-ins. Patsy's Barber Shop has two locations, 3 Howard Street in downtown Albany and Room 126 on the Concourse Level. Call for an appointment and check for hours. And be sure to patronize the many barbers Tragedy has trained personally.

All because he wasn't sure how to describe what he wanted and had asked me to tell her. The owner is rude and can not consistently keep a customer or employee.
