Walked in for my appointment and wasn't greeted. When I said awkwardly said hello, staff seemed…read moreconfused about who I was. My would be barber was still with another client and told me I was "a little early," even though I arrived 10 minutes before my scheduled appointment. He then admitted he was behind after being told he now had two clients waiting for him at the same time, and tried to hand me off to someone else who actually wasn't available. After that, no apology, no estimate, no plan--just awkward silence. I canceled. I'm sure they do great work, but the communication and concern could have been greatly improved.

It's come to this: the Colman Building Barbershop is the only place I'll get my hair cut anymore…read more I've had cheap haircuts and I've had expensive ones. Robby's shop falls somewhere in the middle, price-wise, but his work and his partner Madison's are consistently at the top of the list when I get out of the chair and get a look at what they've done. There's never that awkward "oh no, what am I going to do with this?" moment when you see it for the first time. Simply put, their cuts look fabulous, every time. As experiences go, the Colman Barbershop is fun and relaxing. You can go expecting funny adult conversation with a racy edge to it, classic rock on the stereo, a comfortable old-school barbershop chair to sit in, and a phone that rings like a phone, not an electronic tweet. Robby and Madison not only deliver a great cut, they have genuine fun chatting with you and with each other while you're there. And men? Go with the knowledge that you're not quite done when your hair is done. You've got a rare treat in store before you're all the way finished, a back-of-the-neck shave with warm shaving cream and a straight razor, followed up with a warm wet towel. It's a delight for the senses not to be missed, and it feels fantastic afterwards. So. It comes to this: get thee to the Colman Building Barbershop for 45 minutes of entertaining downtime, for good music, for a little nostalgia, and most importantly, for the best haircut you'll ever have. Call me picky, but I won't settle for anything less.

Before I review this barbershop, I need to explain a few things about the chain of events that led…read moreme here, because without that context the haircut would make absolutely no sense. This all started more summers ago than my substance addled brain can recall when I accidentally befriended a raccoon behind a liquor store one messy night. Not just any raccoon. A raccoon that had clearly consumed a concerning amount of bourbon. I discovered him at roughly 2:30 AM sitting inside a tipped-over recycling bin, clutching a half-empty bottle of Wild Turkey like a recently divorced uncle. His eyes were glassy. His fur looked like he had fought a lawn mower and won. When I approached, he stood up on his hind legs, stared directly at me, and burped with the authority of a dock worker who has been drinking since noon. I named him Captain Randolph, obviously. Now, Captain Randolph and I developed a bit of an understanding. Mostly that if I left him alone, he wouldn't scream at me like a Victorian ghost. Unfortunately this peaceful relationship ended when a beam of green light descended from the sky and abducted both of us. Yes. Aliens. Understand that these were not your typical little grey run-of-the-mill butt probing aliens. These were intergalactic pirates. Their spaceship looked like someone had built a galleon out of an enormous chrome dildo (with sails for some reason). The captain had six arms, an eyepatch, and a beard made entirely of glowing tentacles (which were suspiciously penis-y at the tips). They informed me (telepathically) that they had been scanning Earth for "rare biological anomalies." Apparently the anomaly they detected was the drunk raccoon screaming slurs at a streetlight. Captain Randolph was promoted to "Honorary Navigator." I was labeled "Hair Situation: Catastrophic." Over the next several weeks, because time is weird in space, we traveled through parts of the galaxy that can only be described as aggressively stupid. We raided a moon made entirely of cheese. We got into a laser sword fight with a group of sentient sea cucumbers. Captain Randolph stole a small cannon and attempted to duel a vending machine. At one point we stopped at an asteroid bar where pirates from twelve galaxies were arguing about which planet invented barbecue. A lizard the size of a Honda Civic tried to braid my hair and stopped halfway through after whispering, "Gurrrrrrl... this is beyond help." Eventually the alien pirate captain pulled me aside and said something I'll never forget: "Human... your hair carries the chaotic energy of Captain Randolph the Honorary Navigator's liver function." Which honestly felt fair. Twasnt cute. The crew debated what to do about it. One alien suggested shaving my head with a plasma saw. Another suggested launching me into a wormhole and hoping the gravitational shear solved the problem. But Captain Randolph the bourbon raccoon (now wearing a tiny pirate hat) stood up on a barrel and screamed what I can only assume was raccoon for: "THIS MAN NEEDS A BARBER OR I QUIT HENCEFORTH *hiccup* FORTHWITH." The pirates consulted their galactic navigation charts and discovered a small glowing dot on Earth labeled: "Old Habits Barbershop" They immediately returned us to Earth because apparently the universe respects a clean haircut and Captain Randolph needed to go to rehab. Which brings us to my experience. I walked into this barbershop with the hair equivalent of a hurricane that had been through three divorces and a botched facelift. The barber Trent looked at it. Paused. Nodded. Sixty minutes later I walked out with a skin fade so clean and tight, you might've mistaken my scalp for the enormous intergalactic penis shaped chrome pirate ship. Captain Randolph, who now lives somewhere near the dumpsters behind the Taco Bell off Denny Way, looked up at me, squinted approvingly, and passed out in a puddle of what I strongly suspect was his own urine. Anyway. Great shop. Great people. Incredible haircuts. Five stars.
