I desperately needed a hot towel shave, and being that I'm just a visitor from New York City, I had no clue where to get one. I checked out one place before Rosa's, the lady wanted to use a used razor to shave my face; of course I left.
Then I stumbled upon Rosa's Barber Shop, wasn't sure what to expect. As soon as I entered, I felt right at home. There was plenty of seating, with magazines and television. Nothing "redneck" about this place at all. I'm from NYC and I definitely did not feel out of my comfort zone at all.
I'm not sure what the reviewer before me meant about the atmosphere not being for everyone. It's a barbershop not a ballroom; as long as my haircut and shave is good, I'm happy. I walked in, sat down and watched t.v., got called to the chair, chatted, got my shave, and bounced.
I felt welcomed and comfortable, the atmosphere is as welcoming as a barbershop can possibly be.
Rosa seemed to be very knowledgeable about her profession, and how to properly care for different types of hair, and beards.
Long story short, my shave came out perfect and my experience was enjoyable. This barber definitely knows how to use a straight blade.
I highly recommend this place to anyone and everyone, whether they are visitors or locals. read more
