Looking over Troy's Yelp reviews show a lot of what I call "One Hit Wonders". To me that means, no…read morepicture of the reviewer, often just a few (or less) reviews to show for it, sometimes debatable personal experience, and with some sort of revenge (for slights real or imagined) on their minds. For this long-time Yelp Elite, these reviews go to the very bottom of my credibility pile. I'm a loyal customer, even though I live in Nevada and only have Troy cut my hair if I happen to be in town and I need to get my hair back in control. My Dad and my Brother come here too. My last visit was earlier this week was around Troy's opening time (7:30 AM), with no wait, nice conversation, and back out to the care in short order. I enjoy our conversations and catching up on Campus and Community happenings. The Barber Shop itself has comfortable seating, good reading material (if I need to wait), sports on the TV, and just an all-around comfortable vibe. Free parking is available across the street. My last haircut was on the short side, which I like, while Gayle is still considering. But when one is nearly bald up top, shaggy sides and comb overs don't look so good to me these days.

Having been to some of the finest barbers in cities like Minneapolis, Louisville, Vancouver, LA,…read moreNYC, Chicago...I never thought I would find that type of caliber in Gowrie, IA. Phil is an excellent barber, who honed his skill in image conscious LA at the popular Bolt Barbers Downtown. He is capable of giving you a stylized cut, or you can just go in for a classic cut, and you will leave looking exceptionally sharp. He'll clean up the back of your neck, old school style, with a straight razor shave, and if you're a man and haven't had that done, you haven't lived. You can walk in or make an appointment and he takes plastic. You will not be disappointed.

He's friendly, easy to talk to, and somehow remembers details from past conversations even though he runs a busy shop. That personal touch means a lot. Most importantly, the haircuts are consistently great. I regularly get compliments after seeing him, and that's been true for years. He listens, he knows what works, and he delivers every time. If you're in Ames and need a reliable barber, I highly recommend Raymond.

I accepted the change, but when I showed up, Joe wasn't there. Another person walked in who had an appointment with Joe in 20 minutes, and rather then get a rushed 20 minute haircut or make that person wait more time, I cancelled the appointment and walked down to All Cuts barber shop where I received excellent service. Moral of the story, don't waste your time here.
