John's prices are competitive and he offers traditional shaves as well as barber cuts. Notable about Calvaresi's: unlike most traditional barber shops, John is open six days a week, including Mondays. Parking is available in the rear. The shop is in Laureldale's pedestrian-friendly shopping area, with a farm store, Hershey Harvest, across the street.

He stated that my "skin was sensitive," but I've never had this problem at any shop, anywhere. I am not sure if the man was lazy, rushed, or just careless, but I also had cuts on my forehead, above my ear, and under my eyebrow. The price was not worth the pain.

Take a minute, stop in and do what I did. I told Dwane that i had tried several different barbers in the area with varied degrees is disappointment. I was sick as shit of spending $20 on haircuts that didn't impress anyone including me. Those days are done and I am really anxious about what will happen when word gets out about this amazing shop. Service: funny/smartass in the best way Price: completely worth it and compatible to local shops Facility: under remodel but clean and bright Bring your imagination and a good story to tell.

Anthony's Five Butchers - I'll admit I should've known. I used to get my haircut here in high…read moreschool and they can't help themselves but give every man a high and tight buzz. I was home visiting and badly needed a cut before vacation. I figured it had been 10 years surely things must've changed. I went in, showed how I wore my hair (plenty to brush back) and asked for just a trim with scissors and he agreed to keep it nice and full. After seeing all my hair falling down the drape I even thought "wow do I really have that much hair?" He spins me around and - the butchers strike again. He must've taken more than 2.5 inches off and gave me a high and tight buzz like I'm a sergeant in the military. My head looks like an egg. No more brushing my hair back since it's so short it can only stick straight up. Please learn from my mistakes and stop trusting these guys. (Unless you do buzz cuts then they're fine)

We usually love this place! I have an elementary aged son who is very particular about his hair and…read morethis is his barber shop of choice for years. Today, we booked with Amaya Serrano and my husband must have entered the wrong appointment time because he ended up showing up 10 minutes late. Despite being confused and apologetic (he thought he was on time) Amaya was very rude and dismissive. She was visibly annoyed and insistent that only an abbreviated cut could be done due to timing. This was an otherwise empty shop at the time. I can understand time constraints, and even being turned away due to being late, but what I can't understand is the lack of kindness and lack of customer service in general. We will be spreading the word about Amaya at fine linez.
