I went in today for a shave. Was thinkng a hot towel and shave for head and face. When I walked in,…read morethere were 3 ladies. One appeared to be a bonafide barber. One appeared to be a stylist (was in the middle of braiding). The one I went to was practice braiding on a mannequin head (in retrospect, that should have been my 1st clue). I sit in the chair, and she asks what I was getting. I told her a shave (head and face, but keep mustache and goatee). She drapes me, and about a minute later, forcefully begins cutting. I say forcefully because she literally hit my head with the clippers to cut the hair. It was a rough session. A seasoned barber knows how to place clippers on the head without knocking the client all around. They also use the right tool for the job. What I mean is, if you have to dig while cuttting, you got the wrong tool. Get the tool necessary to cut closer without digging into a persons scalp. When she was done with that, she picked up a set of trimmers to try and finish job. Clearly these trimmers were not adequate. She went and asked the other lady (barber) for an electric shaver. How, in today's time does a supposed barber not have their own electric shaver? I've seen beginner barber kits. Its part of the kit IF you went to school to get your license. At this point I am so glad I did not ask for a true shave. She takes the electric shaver and begins racing over my scalp. This is where the other lady (barber) tells her "slow strokes". I realized then she must be apprenticing. She CAN NOT be a barber. What sucks is, no one told me she was an apprentice BEFORE I sat in the chair. The end result was jacked up. My mustache had been butchered. Shave, despite using the foil shaver was incomplete. I could have requested that she clean up the mess she made but I had no confidence she could and I just wanted to get out of the chair before any more damage was done. This place is literally a hole in the wall kind of shop. The chairs for patrons to sit and wait all had holes big enough to drop a football through. I've never seen a business setup so shabbily. Their website says they are seeking new barbers. But why would a true barber want to work in a place in such disrepair? I can not in good conscience recommend this shop in any way for anyone.

Peak times likely have all six chairs with barbers working but we arrived late Sunday afternoon when two (including owner) were on duty. Took a little while but was well worth the wait. Other positives: a bright, clean storefront with three large flatscreen TVs, a comfy couch and two lounge chairs up front instead of typical straight-back waiting area chairs. Plenty of magazines, too, plus an "absolutely no profanity" sign and lots of posters of music legends of many genres.
