Old Times Barber Shop

This is the way men should get their haircut. No appointments, just sit down in next available chair, get a cut in 15 minutes and out the door. Everybody at this place is friendly. You don’t walk out disappointed.

Of course 5 stars… dependable, friendly, always great service. This is the place to go when you want to have an old-​time experience.

It is truly an Old Times Barber Shop.
I went on a Sunday morning at 9am and waited just a couple of minutes for him to finish up with his current customer. When he called me to the chair I noticed a fair about of hair on the foot rest (Since he had just opened I assumed it was all from the previous gentleman). There was no attempt to clean anything off the footrest or the floor. As he put the cape around my neck I looked down and realized he didn’t bother to switch capes or get any of the other customers hair off of the cape (it wasn’t the usual slick material that encourages hair to slide to the floor).
The straight edge trim was interesting. Don’t think I have had one since I was maybe 12 years old. There were times when I was sure the dull blade was going to cut me.
That whole thing was pretty gross. I guess I should have called a halt before he started. The man cutting my hair was very nice and the cut was ok. I’m a #1 all around so it’s not complicated. Would I go back? Nope. I am not interested in going home from a hair cut with someone else’s trimmings on me or my clothes.

Went on a Sunday afternoon for a hot shave. The place was empty so I had no wait to hop in the chair. I thought the whole experience was great and very relaxing. There were a couple of reasons that I didn’t give this place 4 stars though. Now I have never gotten a hot shave so I am not sure if this is normal or not, but I ended up getting nicked up quite a bit. I knew it wasn’t good when the barber says «Oh you’re a bleeder». When my shave was done I had several bloody nicks on my face. I even had one right under my nose that took several days to heal. Granted, I hadn’t shaved in about 10 days so I was quite overdue, but still didn’t think I would get nicked as much as I did.
The other negative, as the previous person mentioned was that they only accept cash. If I hadn’t read the review, I probably would have only gone with my debit card.
I would give this place a second chance, if only for a haircut.

Like the barber my Dad used to take me as a kid… No non-​sense, friendly, they even do hot lather shaves!
They typically have all of their chairs manned, so there’s rarely a wait. They open early on Sunday too!
They only accept cash, which is a bummer — but there’s an ATM across the street.
