Galaxy Skyway Barber Stylists

What a great to get a haircut in the skyway system. Cathy the owner has been here for 25 years. I have been going to see her for seven years. Her haircuts and styling skills are truly amazing. People always comment on my hair after she has cut and styled it. Cathy is very warm and friendly. She always listens to what I would like to have done with my hair. This is a small cozy salon with highly personalized attention. Located on the skyway level in the Towle building. In between Crazy Taco and Andrea’s Pizza. Cathy is fast! You can get your hair cut on a lunch break. Or if you ask she will stay later and cut your hair after work! Great personalized service. Thats why she has been in the same location 25 years. Great hair cuts, styling and service!

I walk past Galaxy Skyway Barber Stylists fairly frequently — any time the winter weather demands that I walk inside… or any time I get up early enough to allow time to walk through the skyways. Ha!
With such an awesome name, and a great location, I was willing to give it a shot. Plus, living and working Downtown, it’s hard to find places that are open early/​late enough to allow a working professional to get a haircut.
On my lunch break, I stopped in yesterday with the intention of meeting the stylist, chatting about pricing, and hopefully setting up my next haircut. I opened the door, and was immediately greeted with a rush of stale cigarette smoke-​laced air. Now, I get it, skyway real estate is small, and probably expensive, but I know plenty of smokers who never smell like smoke! It seriously smells like the stylist (s) smoke in the shop.
A lady was sitting in a barber chair, talking on the phone with [presumably, per the conversation snippets I heard] a friend. She popped up when she noticed I was there, but never put the phone down, even when she talked to me. She offered a business card, and told me that the cost for a haircut was $ 40. I said it in my quick tip, and I’ll say it again now — no way am I paying $ 40 for a haircut in a broom closet that reeks like cigarettes.
Hopefully, she does very well for herself, given her hours and location. Sadly, I won’t be getting my hurrs did at the Galaxy Skyway Barber Stylists, no matter how the name beckons me to do so.
