I am a regular at this barber shop. I have been going there for over 10-years. John has cut my hair and the hair of my three sons. He is a good barber. He does good work. A good barber is all he ever wanted to be and he is a man of good character. A credit to the local community. He is not a slick super salesman. He is a barber. A barber with an appointment system may seem a bit quirky, you might think. Maybe even as quirky as a person who writes a vindictive review (based upon a sample size of one person having had one visit)? But, consider the upside. I was a walk-in, without an appointment, the first time I used this barber. My previous barber was unexpectedly closed (for vacation or something) and I needed a haircut that day. John cut my hair, but he also let me know that he preferred appointments and he preferred customers who didn't have lots of hairspray caked in their hair.. so he asked me to please wash it out before visiting the barber or he would have to wash my hair before cutting it (next time). He was training me and I was training him, advising of the way I liked my hair cut. Training customers is nothing new. Supermarkets have customers do ALL the work, these days and Banks make us use machines. John is still a full service barber. He treats all of his customers with the same attitude and the same skill to meet their hair styling needs. I just phoned this barber (today) for an appointment. It is 20 after 12. He gave me a choice of appointments, including a quarter to one (25 minutes from now). This is typical. It takes me 10 to 15 minutes to drive there, anyway. So, the appointment system means I have never had to wait in the barbershop... anytime... in 10-years as a customer. I go in, have my hair cut and I leave with a smile on my face, within 15-minutes, every time. Gotta go. Its now 12:30 and I have a perfect haircut about to happen, with no waiting. I wrote this review (while sipping my coffee, at home) after using the internet to check for the phone number of "Modern Touch Barber," to phone for an appointment. I have never written an internet review before. By the way. John would cut my hair just the same if I went to his shop without phoning and instead sat in one of his (mostly unused) waiting chairs. But, why would I want to go back to that routine? I can remember what it was like, waiting every time. Wondering which barber would cut my hair (in a 2 or 3 chair barbershop). With John, I get the best barber every time. I am happy with my barber and the last thing I want to do is to have to find "somewhere else." When I have a good thing going for me, then I stick with it. I hope you all find what you are looking for, too! And, if you give John a try, then tell him how you like your hair and tell him again, next time. Don't talk about internet reviews. He probably won't know what you are talking about. He's a professional barber, not an internet junkie and not a gossip. In fact, he prefers to entertain customers with the radio, while he cuts hair (much like my dentist likes to play music or leave the TV on, for his patients). Casual conversation is pleasant and more or less of it is optional. He probably won't give you stock market tips or argue about your team or politics, but he might advise you on your shampoo or conditioner, etc. if he sees a little problem. It doesn't take much to fill just 15-minutes. Enjoy :-) read more
