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.

Street parking seems to be pretty crowded in this area. A friend and I went to Christine for a haircut and she did a marvelous job. Unfortunately they only accept cash or check. The staff was very friendly (and so were some of the other patrons!) There were a few elderly ladies in the building, having their hair cut by another stylist. Their discussion was quite interesting to listen to. I found out which doctor to go to if I need to have a colonoscopy done. Their reasoning behind their choice was that (apparently) the doctor is rather hot, but I assume he does a thorough job as well.

I made the mistake of going somewhere else for a haircut (I won't name names, but it rhymes with…read more"Scrim Sheen") and one of the ladies there really messed up my haircut bad. I had asked for a simple fade, but she left it way too long in top and didn't blend it well at all. I had family photos in less than an hour and was starting to really worry that this horrible haircut would be immortalized for all time. I ran to House of Flair in a panic, and the guy there got me in the chair right away. He did an amazing job of fixing my previous hair dresser's mistakes, and had me out the door with a wife approved haircut in no time at all. And at about 75% of the cost of my previous cut! I am forever in this guy's debt and will definitely be coming back for all my future cuts.

Come with good intentions…read more This place may not be upscale, the most modern or smell good but it sure does the job! I came in for a relaxing cheap haircut and that is exactly what I received. This is a nice local certified hair stylist who has served the area for many years. Based on what the owner/hair stylist says she has been in operation for 50 years!! This is very impressive considering the fact that stores tend to change over time. The lady was born and raised in Humboldt. She claims to be Portugués from the Azores area!! Incredibly awesome!! The reason why this was a divine haircut was because for $25 the owner ended up washing and cutting my hair and was willing (if you ask) was willing to blow dry it and cut what you wanted off. The barber appeared serious and when asked questions he answered with simple responses and hardly looked my direction as if I was an off putting sight! Believe me I can be that way too but I will go out of my way to make small talk in return or voice that I am tired etc. Eventually the haircut was complete and I paid, (debit) headed out the door and when I turned over to look in the barber's direction he had the BIGGEST smile (whereas earlier he was dead Pan serious) on his face and told me "it looks so good on you" I smiled and said "thanks, it was hard to choose but I did it" strange, but okay. Update: My female partner came here and the owner told her many religious God related comments. We were not offended but for those who do not wish to discuss religion keep this in mind. By the way I love learning about all faiths, mindsets, beliefs systems and religions so it is fine by me.
