Summary: Melissa's is a Barbershop run by, as far as I can tell, one lady by the name of Melissa…read more To clarify, this is a Barbershop and not what would be considered a Salon. Price: I don't remember exactly how much my haircut was, but I think it was about $12. I remember getting a student discount. I'm not a student, but look young. I returned the money I saved in form of a tip because I felt guilty. Experience: I like to think I'm not too picky when it comes to hair cuts, but I am actually quite picky in choosing a place to get it cut at. For example, Supreme Cuts down the street seems like a really chill and hip place to get your hair cut, but the main type of cuts they do are close cuts and shaves. My hair is medium length and I like it shaved on the sides and clippered on top. Melissa's seemed to be more appropriate and more familiar, so that's why I came here. The first time I went in I was asked what number I wanted. The only thing I've ever ordered by number before are combo meals from fast food restaurants, so I was a bit confused. Luckily, Melissa explained what she meant and worked with me to get a cut I wanted. The cut I walked out with much shorter than I had ever had before, but it was darn comfortable! Quality of cut alone, I'd give it a 5. Why not a 5 then?: The atmosphere of this place is not really my cup of tea. I'm a quiet person that has an aversion to loud talking and politics. Both times I came here, Melissa gets talking with some of the regulars (who by the way, she seems to have a lot of and people seem to love her), and she really lets out what's on her mind. This can come out in the form of expletives, opinionated discussions, and general conversation. One time I think the counter on the "f word" probably went over 50. I'm not against swearing and the discussion was never distasteful, but I'd rather sit there and make quiet smalltalk. I'm not sure it's fair to take a star away for what is all-in-all a fantastic haircut, but it's enough to make me slightly uncomfortable. Overall: Great cut with a lively environment. Not the kind of environment that's right for me, but lots of her regulars seem to enjoy the place. Weird hours caused me to head to Redken in Canandaigua today and that was more my style and atmosphere. Although I will say that the haircuts from Melissa's are probably some of the best I've ever had.

He listened to what I wanted, and was receptive to pictures of my usual haircut, and I was lined up, and beard trimmed 15 minutes later!! Very impressive. This is cash only but there is an ATM if you came unprepared. This shop is downtown and sorta close to the college, and is neatly kept with a sports wall recognizing many of the biggest names like Jordan, Tyson, and Ali.

I've gotten raving reviews from my classmates about the place, so I decided to try it. So far I've been here 3 time. The first: between the antiques on the walls and engaging conversations they had with customers, I got a great vibe. When I was finally on the seat, things got a little quiet, perhaps because I was new. The cut was mediocre, but I'm not picky. The second: I gave them the benefit of a doubt and went back. Same exact experience. They asked me the same basic questions as though they had forgotten me altogether. No big deal, but the cut, once again, was mediocre at best. But again, they got the job done. The third and final: I am a very reasonable person but this is, without a doubt, the worst haircut I have ever gotten. The two sides were uneven. There was no attempt to fade the sides, resulting in a stairstepped line. Joe (the short one) left a small cut on my ear with a shaving blade. In the end, he left an absolute mess of trimmed hair on my face and neck, without wiping it off. I have enclosed pictures for review. The overall feeling was that they were unprofessional, unskilled, and unwelcoming to new comers. Short Joe was completely unresponsive when I asked "how are you?" Then he would proceed to take 15-second pauses at a time, as though reluctant to cut my hair. Worst of all, my seat was off center by about 20 degrees the entire time (I was directly facing the wall off to the side of the mirror). It would suffice to say that I will not be returning, and that those I know who are loyal customers will hear endlessly about this.

You're cheating yourself not to. Having recently moved to the area, I tried a few other places prior to my appt at Westcott. No other shop around here even comes close to the atmosphere, attention to detail, or finished product I got at Westcott Barbershop. Doug gave me one of the best haircuts I've ever received, and I'll be a customer, moving forward. Update: I've been going to see Doug for close to two years now. He immediately knew my hair to a T. Doug is intuitive and observant. My angles and preference are perfectly stored in his muscle memory. He needn't ask me how I like this or how I prefer that. We'll chat instead about pretty much anything. I swear he understands my hair's growth so well that everyday between visits is like a new haircut. He's that good, and my cut seems to grow in proportionately rather than "grow out." His cuts age like wine. It's magic. Westcott has the kind of vibe that can turn my week around in 45 minutes.
