Ever since my regular barber moved to another city, I have been coming here. My barber, Sue, is…read moreamazing. She gives a wonderful cut and exactly the way I want it. I only ever expect a cut, so my first time there was interesting! She did the cut well, and followed with the massage that only usually comes at higher end places (in my experience). I make it a point to only go here for a cut. All guys know how hard it is to find a barber who does a cut the way they like, and when you find that one, you stick with that one. Customer service is always on point here, and I'll wait for Sue, no matter how long the line is.

Just went back. I don't know why so long in between going there, but I finally made it back, and my…read moreexperience was even better than I remember from last time! She trimmed hair in my ears, eye brows, nose, mustache, used hot lather and straight razor in back and around my ears. After taking her time cutting my hair, and all of the above, she massaged my scalp and then used a vibrating hand massager to go over my shoulders and surrounding areas. The lady cutting my hair was polite, friendly and respectful. She was careful not to upset me, although that would have been hard to do! I can't think of anything she could have done better!

Best haircut in town. AJ is awesome. He can talk about just about anything, just ask him what he…read morethinks about something and you'll have a great conversation. I asked for a modern "mullet" (just a little longer in the back) with faded sides and he gave me one of the coolest haircuts I've ever had. For a $12 haircut, you can't beat it (I always give him $20). I wait for AJ to be ready, and if he's not there, I come back later. I don't let the female barber cut my hair, no offense to her, just prefer AJ. I've heard from friends that she doesn't do as good of a haircut.

Contrary to the the assertion of Rev. Lucas in the most recent season of Luke Cage, maintaining a…read more"baldy" isn't REALLY that hard: Just keep your blade sharp, your water hot, and your hands steady...and maybe keep some aloe around to rub in afterwards, because we all make mistakes. In contrast, keeping my own beard in order has proven to be damn near impossible. I tried for months to cultivate the dapper and manly "Will Riker" look, but always wound up with something more akin to an apocalypse-ready "Rick Grimes". This resulted in periodic reset-shaves and, due to the prickly nature of stubble, a thoroughly annoyed girlfriend. Clearly, if I was going to adhere to my plan of having a post-military look that featured as little of my chin as possible, I was going to need professional help with my facial hair situation. ...and that's what brought me to Dayton Grooming Co, and the three excellent barbers who work there. So here's a useful bit of barbershop etiquette: Unless you're going to a chain like SuperCuts, your barber is supposed to be YOUR BARBER and, once that sacred pact is formed, it is not to be torn asunder. On return visits to a shop, it is considered extremely uncool to just jump in the first open chair instead of waiting for your guy to be ready. However, as somebody who hasn't consistently kept hair on his scalp since high school, I didn't know any of this...and that's how I wound up learning that EVERYBODY at Dayton Grooming Co really knows what they're doing: - Bryan originally brought my beard under control, and made sure that I had a good conditioning plan (Honest Amish Pure is good stuff). - Sergio convinced me to add a bit of shape to my cheekline, even though it required a bit of maintenance on my part. - Rick fixed me up after I went rogue and tried to imitate something I saw in a YouTube video...and was kind enough not to mention it, ever. Seriously, every one of these guys will make you look good. To answer a question that keeps coming up whenever barbershops are discussed: DGC handles both white and black clientele in what appears to be about equal proportions, with customer ages ranging from children to old men. I've never seen any women in their chairs, but if you're male or want a male-style haircut, they've got you covered. Also, unlike some barbers/stylists, these guys aren't afraid to use an actual straight razor when the situation calls for it, but they don't act like pulling out the throat-cutter is some sort of necessary ritual, either. They're proficient, but they don't grandstand, and that kind of professional confidence is to be admired. Prices are very reasonable, with most hairstyles in the $10-$15 range. They don't take credit cards, but there's an ATM at the mini-mart next door.

I think she does a mediocre job in cutting hair, only because she likes to rush the hell out of your haircut. Maybe if she took her time then it would be a way better experience with awesome results. I came in for a high fade comb over and she couldn't get it right the first time. They don't give you time to inspect the end result with a mirror. I had to go to the bathroom to find out she missed a spot. I asked to just snip of the spot she missed and she was so disgruntled. Definitely the last time I will be coming back here. Good luck to all who dare lol. Also, she raised the prices of her haircuts recently just FYI. Don't even think about going to her other barber apprentices, unless you want to wait for Ms. Song to come help and correct the mistakes. One more thing, don't fall for her advertisement for sushi at her restaurant it's a waste of a trip and money for terrible sushi.
