I can't say enough good things about the dudes who run this hole-in-the-wall barber shop. My 3 year…read moreold is a handful when it comes to haircuts and we had been taking him to a kiddie place that charges way too much for basically crew cuts. Every time we asked them to do something else, he walked out with the same high and tight military cut as the last time. And he would scream and fuss and be miserable. Every. Single. Time. We decided to try taking him with his daddy to Classic Gentleman. I came with in case he needed wrangling while dad was getting his cut, but it wasn't necessary at all. The shop owner, Vern, immediately put him at ease by plying him with candies. Now every time we go, my son sees the booster seat getting put on the chair and RUNS over saying, "it's my turn!" I worried that I would feel weird hanging or in and old school barbershop (aka dude country) but both Vern and Patrick are totally chill. They also always remember you. We love this place!

Congratulations! This is the best and greatest barbershop in all the Universe, You are very lucky!…read moreI've been coming here for haircuts since 1973. All these barbers are over the top the best of the best. Plus, they are amazing at fixing bad haircuts if you're stuck out of State and have to get a haircut somewhere else. lol My brother always comes here to get a real haircut when he's in from Washington State just to feel what it's like to have a perfect haircut again. Most of my friends who have moved away drop in here for the same wonderful haircuts they knew before. Always a great and relaxing experience. Emily is the supreme best barber. Enjoy!

This is NOT the first time my sons barber (which it's ALWAYS somebody different for some weird reason even tho we specifically book with one barber) is late or had to reschedule but trust this is the LAST time we will be coming here. We wanted to support our Poly businesses but this business is crap!!!! appointments are set and barbers don't show then charge you a fee for rescheduling or cancelling on you when you don't even know until an hour prior to your appointment And let me add that we were going out of our way to come here, we don't live close. Just lost a few customers !!!!

Two phenomenal people and Iman is an absolutely killer barber. Now I usually look great but Iman made me look real great. One of, if not the greatest haircut I've ever had. They take their time and truly care about the work they do. Omar is one heck of a business man he has the building spotless and decked to the nines. You walk in and think "this is a $50 haircut here we go" no no no. Omars' human, he likes affordable just like us. So the haircut is $35 flat no questions asked. It's only $50 if your a man or woman that knows how to tip well! So do that!! Tip good because he makes the price affordable so you CAN take care of the man that took care of your head. Omar also owns a coffee shop across the street and it's the best coffee around. Buy a sweatshirt while your at it. So enough reading of this review and go get the dang haircut. And tip well.
