Barbers Plus of Platte Woods

I asked for a low fade, the gentleman seemed nervous so I asked to cut too little instead of too much. What does he do? High and tight fade. If I don’t comb my hair to the side properly I look like trailer trash now. Now I have to buzz my head because it’s impossible to fix the fade. He was friendly, but he was not sure of himself. I won’t frequent this place again.

This place is pretty solid. I have been going here for about 4 months and have enjoyed each of my visits. I have landed on John as my go to barber if anyone needs a recommendation, but everyone there seems to wield their sheers handedly. I love that I can walk in after work during the week, sit right down in the chair, enjoy some good conversation and then walk back out looking much better than I did going in and only be out $ 20 and about 20 minutes. The actual haircut is only $ 14 so tip what you like, I just enjoy the ease of handing the barber a twenty, shaking his hand and heading out.
I think another reason I like this place is the longevity of it. I don’t know how long it has been around, but I do know that I had my first haircut there in 1982 and then literally every single haircut there after until I moved away in 2000. It was pretty great to walk back in in 2012 and still recognize 3 or 4 of the barbers, still in there same spots. I just felt comfortable instantly.
A typical cut in my experience is just what you might expect from a barber. Wet the hair down, comb it up nicely, cut with sheers, trim with trimmers and then straight edge for a crisp clean look on the neck. A quick blow dry, a check to make sure everything is good and you’re done. That easy. If you live north of the river, or not, and want a great local barber to treat you right: Barbers Plus, it’s that easy.
