The Barber Shop

From LA originally, I only go to my hood to get a cut. As I travel often for business, I am often disappointed barbers do not know how to do hard/​soft fades. Talk about disaster!!! So before a business trip I always get a cut in the hood.
On a long vacation trip ending in Vancouver, I had forgotten to get my normal pre-​flight cut. Desperate upon arrival in Vancouver, I found this barbershop after searching for «black barbershop shop» on Unilocal.To m u dismay upon arrival, there were no blacks in the shop. Talk about nervous. Fearong the worse, I politely asked the owner if her knew how to do a hard fade with a side blade of 0″ and 1 ½″ on top. He acted a bit taken aback by my question. Oh, boy, not again I thought. Notbwanting to né rude, I took a deep breath and sat in the chair– ready to bolt if things did not start off well.
What an experience! This is a true barber. 35 years of experience who treated me and my head with great respect.
I walked out of there a refreshed and happy man… with more of an open mind. Try this dude out.

Pros: Joanna did my undercut pomp really well, just needed to explain well what you want on your first visit. Shop was clean and friendly people.
Cons: no credit/​debit, just cash so dont forget to bring some.
Overall its still 5stars for me, definitely coming back. $ 18 for haircut

I’ve found my new regular barber shop! I had my first visit there this past weekend and had a great experience. For their price you get soo much more then salons and other shops. He saw exactly how my hair was styled and knew what to do. Vac brush to pick up the loose hair, clean blade to shave the back of neck and then the hot towel to complete the service.

This spot is top notch to get a clean cut. I have been in several times and have received great cuts from both Joe and Sam. Highly recommend this place everyone is very friendly here!

My first time here! The funny thing is this place is 10 minutes walk from home and I never knew about it.
Anyway, I walk in and Maria greets me cheerfully (although it was 20 minutes before closing time). The service was impeccable, non-​rushed and some of it un-​expected. Like the little touches: straight-​razor cleanup after, the talc powder puff and those hair vacuums!
Now waiting to go back again!
