I hadn't had a professional haircut since I started balding twenty years ago and started cutting my…read moreown hair at home with clippers. But I was getting tired of looking shaggy, and I wanted to get my beard trimmed, too. I went by another barbershop in Charleston, and it seemed like you had to make reservations. While there were at least a dozen chairs, there only seemed to be one barber on duty. I slipped out quietly, and went to the next closest place, Bully Trap. I walked in, and all of the chairs were full, and there were a couple of folks waiting their turn. After I sat down, I was greeted by the barber closest to the door, who casually asked me if I had put my name on the chalkboard. He then did it for me, and graciously gave directions to the closest ATM (Bully Trap doesn't accept cards). I was impressed that there was only one tv in the shop, and the sound was turned off. The art on the walls was regional and looked original. This was not Super Cuts! The music wasn't so loud that folks had to shout to be heard over it. I got my hair and beard cut by a barber named Ryan both times that I went there. Ryan asked a few questions the first time I was there, but picked up on the fact that I didn't want to talk too much. As luck would have it, Ryan cut my hair the second time I went too, and I felt much more comfortable talking to him. When I go again, I'm going to ask for Ryan, if possible. I like establishing relationships. And yes, Ryan did a great job cutting my hair and beard. The price was very reasonable, and since I've worked in the service industry myself, I gave Ryan a more than decent tip. (Yes, I would prefer if American businesses would pay a living wage and service workers didn't have to depend on tips, but until that day comes, I will generously tip.) Great haircuts at a decent price! I'm a bit of an introvert, and I don't always enjoy making small talk with strangers.

My experience was a disaster to say the least. As I walked into the salon Michael was drinking…read moreliquor with another customer... he continued to do this through out my appointment. I didn't want my hair cut but he insisted, didn't put any products on my hair after washing it, and well the pictures speak for themselves regarding the color job. I had asked for heavy highlights all over my head (which I usually get from a different salon) because my roots were growing out. It didn't end well but I did get a refund. I'm not quite cute how he has a cosmetology license. Michael was a great person just horrible at dying hair.

I had moved to Charleston some time ago from another state where I had taken for granted having…read moreaccess to very advanced and technical stylists. After four years here in WV, I was still having trouble finding a stylist that can cut technical and fashion-forward hair. Then I met Michael. Michael looks like a combination of Edward Scissorhands with a waistcoat and some steampunk vibes going on. His energy can be described as lively and friendly and you immediately know, this guy knows what he is doing and he is an artist! He has multiple locations, and I sat in an antique barber chair on the Quarrier St. location. I had wanted a modern shag cut with a specific fringe and had a picture. He knew exactly how to make it happen and watching him cut hair is nothing short of magic! As he made his way around my head, cutting, swishing and thinning, I could tell he was sculpting something good out of something drab. ( He even had me turn my head upside down for him to balance the cut!) I have to mention he has his OWN private label hair products and they smell AMAZING. (I recommend the honey shampoo/conditioner) I couldn't be happier with my hair, and that is no easy feat as I am a picky little brat. Charleston is lucky to have him for those of us who want rock-star hair, or a precision pixie he is the guy! This man is a trained Barber/ Stylist combo, so when you find that, you better not let go. He has trained in London and LA and it shows. His haircuts feel tailored just for you. I left today feeling cute, like Joan Jett mixed with a little Carol Brady.
