Straight Razor Steve

Steve is inside the Fiesta grocery store off of 8^th Avenue. The guys at my husband’s work recommended him. I knew he had to be good when my husband went to him once and didn’t want to go anywhere else when he was closed!
I see why now. I went with the husband yesterday to get his hair cut. You step inside a man cave. Posters, hub caps, art, star wars, and more guyish stuff on the wall. I sat on the comfy couch and watched Steve do his art on two other guys before my husband. He is really precise and articulate with his hair cuts and shaves. He even trimmed a dude’s nose hairs. He has a lady in there doing hair as well. I assume it’s his wife.
He’s open Monday-​Friday 9 – 5. Starting in February he will be taking appointments only. The chalk board said hair cuts were $ 30 and shaves were $ 40. I think he charged my husband only $ 20, I can’t remember because I was half asleep from that comfy couch.

I’ve been going with Steve for a long time. He is always a very professional and takes pride in his work. His shop is the coolest thing ever and you feel comfortable. His work is always sharp. Go and see steve!

Great cut and great atmosphere! I would recommend Steve to anyone now and look forward to sending more people his way!

Good experience. He knows his stuff. A true «guys» barber shop. Give him a try…

Extremely friendly and got a wonderful haircut. It’s awesome to chill out on a couch and help myself to the cola in the fridge as I’m waiting my turn. Got to chat about shaving products and classic cars. Will definitely go back for my next hair cut.

First straight razor cut. Steve said it would be addicting. Have to agree, I’m hooked. Excellent location (Fiesta) cool shop, terrific cut and close shave. Consider myself a regular now after just one visit.

Steve’s been cutting hair for about five years if I remember correctly. He doesn’t take reservations, so if you are in a rush, get there as soon as the doors open.
He is very conservative on haircuts. In that, unless you explicitly ask for something, you won’t get it. It is inside a grocery store. At first, I walked around the whole store looking for the location. It’s in the front on the left hand side as you enter the grocery store.
It’s a very clean place and you can tell Steve is a car buff with his memorabilia and décor. Overall an OK cut.

First time in today. Drove 30 minutes to get there. Awesome cut with great attention to detail. Fun conversation too. I will be back.

Steve is very meticulous and understands style. Not just a barber than can cut hair but one who can see the image. I think he gets this from his hobby of pin striping hot rods. The hole shop has images of his past work. Go check him out!

This barber shop is probably the best I’ve ever been to. Steve is very friendly and makes a point to ensure that you’re pleased with your haircut. He’ll even let you come back the next day and get things fixed if you go home and realize you’re not completely satisfied but you definitely will be! The hot foam shave is amazing as well. If you want a man’s haircut or shave, you have to try this place out. You won’t regret it!

This is the best place to get your haircut! Steve will take excellent care of you and this is truly the best place for a man to get a haircut! He takes great care when cutting your hair, and the straight blade razor with shaving cream is amazing! He remembers who you are and is one of the most friendly people you will meet! I would recommend anyone to get a haircut here!

Steve is unlike any barber I’ve ever been to. My old barber was an old man who cherry picked what days he was open, and frankly just didn’t give that great of a haircut. I was eager to try out Steve’s when my manager told me about his experience, how awesome Steve is, and the fact that he works out of a Fiesta Grocery store.
When you walk into his actual shop, you instantly forget you’re in a grocery store. All you hear is the subtle music, the turning of the barber pole, and the light chat between those that are on the sofa waiting for their turn in the chair. Plus, he always tells guests to help themselves to his fridge which is stocked with RC Cola and bottled water.
When I first sat in the chair, Steve felt my hair and told me that I’m going bald. Naturally, I was pretty taken back, but I told him to do what he thought would be best for my hair. He took it up high and tight on the sides and left it long up top for a nice side part. I was blown away. I have never had anyone take so much care and pride when cutting my hair. The haircut looked awesome, and he finished up with a straight razor behind the neck, and a hot towel around the head.
Overall, Steve’s Barber Chair offers more than a hair cut. It’s an experience. There’s nothing like sipping an RC Cola and chatting with Steve and the other guests. If you’re looking for somewhere new to get a haircut, or even if you’re not, definitely give Steve a shot.

I had gone to Great Clips for the first 20 years of my life; until my supervisor at work suggested Steve. I went and I was skeptical because it was located inside a Fiesta Mart, but you don’t even notice it once you’re in his shop. It’s so relaxing when you walk in he asks you to sign and and help yourself to some RC Cola in the fridge. My first time in the chair I told him I had gone to Great Clips all my life and I had never had a true barber shop haircut. On top of that I told him I had no idea what I wanted, he looked at my hair then pulled up pictures on his laptop and found a great style. The best part of the whole experience is when Steve shaves your neck line with a straight razor then wraps a hot towel around your face.
I’ve only been twice; the second time I pulled up a picture on my phone of what I wanted and he took what I wanted and tailored it to fit me and my beard. Once again the best part was the neck shave and hot towel.
I highly recommend going to see Steve, he’s an amazing barber and a great guy.

Had a great experience with Steve. He knows what he’s doing and offers great advice.
The good–
— It’s a barber shop and not a girly salon. You won’t feel out of place with a bunch of women but can hang out with a bunch of men.
— Steve is trained to cut men’s hair. This means he knows what he’s doing with your hair (unless you’re a woman, obviously) and can offer great advice.
— He did a great job on my hair and I’m sure he will yours.
The bad–
— It’s first come first served and the wait can be a while. Don’t come here if you’re in a rush.

Steve’s Barber Chair is tucked inside a Fiesta supermarket but do not let that deter you. Steve is the most professional, clean, precise barber whom I have had the pleasure of doing business with. I would encourage anyone to go to Steve for any of his various services.
Steve is also very friendly and provides a comfortable atmosphere for a men’s barber shop. This is my first review on Unilocal and I signed up just so I could give Steve a review. He is a great man and my top choice for a haircut and especially hot shave.
My best wishes for Steve’s barber chair,
Cole

Best shop in the area for Classic men’s haircut.

I was looking for a barber shop that could give me the comb over taper cut that I wanted, and I found it! Although I did my homework and even brought in a picture, Steve did a outstanding job and was great about asking me questions to make sure all of my preferences were taken into account.
As advertised, he uses a fresh razor blade to shave the neck and even clipper off the light fuzz on my ears. He’ll even offer to shave any hairs between your eyebrows and run the guarded clippers across them to remove any bushy strays, but nothing that will make you look feminine.
I went to the shop at @ 10 AM on Tuesday and only had 1 customer in front of me. It was nice to have an RC Cola and soak in the ambience of the shop. Since there are no appointments, the hours with little waiting time is on weekdays between 10 AM to 12 PM.
I will definitely see Steve again.

For the longest time, I’m almost a little ashamed to admit that going to a proper barber was something that I denied myself. I have no idea why.
So now that I’m older, (debatably) wiser, and still have a nominal amount of hair, it’s become a curiosity of mine to seek out good barbers.
Long story short, if you find yourself in a similar situation, go here. Steve is extremely friendly and takes a meticulous approach to everything he does. You can actually see him take a step back, assess the situation he’s in («the situation» of course being your head), and starts the gears turning in his mind before he goes to work. He does a great job, you’re in and out for $ 20 and tip.
Here’s my favorite part about sitting in the barber chair here, though:
It’s in Fiesta. You sit in a fishbowl and watch people go about one of the most mundane activities of their lives, hovering around in hover-​rounds and picking out the chips and French bread they like the most and THEY DON’T EVEN NOTICE YOU. And even if they did, you’re in a barber chair and the guy behind you is doing his thing with sharp objects, so it’s probably understandable. Stare away. People-​watch away. And then pick up a rotisserie chicken and a six-​pack of Rahr and celery or something on your way out.
I don’t know, I amuse myself in weird ways sometimes.

Steve is the best. It’s a real barber shop. It isn’t something that I can adequately explain or describe. It’s an atmosphere… a vibe. The detail. The service. The craftsmanship.
I was a little cautious about going to a barber in Fiesta. I wasn’t sure that the situation would be right for a 50+ white guy. I’ve been to other barbers that turned out to cater to the Hispanics, and felt like I was a real oddball there. But That is not the situation at Steve’s. He’s all about giving men a good, clean haircut. Just don’t be in a hurry, though. This is not a 10-​minute ProCut. This is so much more. Hot towels, straight blades, lather… and that’s just with a haircut. I’d almost shave my beard off just to get a hot towel shave from Steve!

Steve, the owner and operator runs this barber chair out of a ‘Fiesta’ grocery store. But don’t let that discourage you. The sitting area and solo barber chair are separated from the store and once you’re inside you can enjoy sitting in a comfy sofa while reading some choice hot rod magazines.
You see, Steve, like so many of us, is a car guy. You can tell by the photos on the wall as well as by the custom pin stripe art (done by Steve), that adorns almost everything in the shop. All in all, if you’re a car guy you will find a kindred spirit here.
The haircut is done in the classic mens barber style. That means you get scissors and not this ‘electric clipper only’ nonsense that has almost taken over the barbers/​unisex hair salons in the country. Steve prides himself on a clean work space and clean tools. «I disinfect my scissors and put a new blade in my razor after every customer», was one of the first things he told me. Also, instead of picking a haircut out of a catalog, Steve just asks how you like your hair and what you do with it, if anything, then proceeds to cut accordingly.
Once the main haircut is done, out comes the straight razor and hot lather. Because after each haircut Steve does the detail work around the ears and back of the neck with a fresh new razor blade… and it’s awesome. I’ve never had a haircut finished like that, and frankly I think all my future haircuts will involve this kind of detail work, because I don’t see myself going anywhere else for a long time.
If you come in and there are one or two people ahead of you, you will have to wait for a while. That’s not a deal breaker though, because once you sit down, Steve’s level of customer service is second to none. His attention is completely focused on the customer in his chair. He makes certain that you are satisfied with your hairdo and even gives you your choice of palm aide or hair gel. Even though Steve has only been open at this location for two weeks as of this writing, everyone waiting for their turn, does so very patiently because they know that Steve will take great care of them. Besides, even while you’re waiting you can help yourself to complementary water and RC cola in the fridge, HOW COOL IS THAT?
If I were to give any downsides, and i’m really being nit picky here. It’s that if you’re in a hurry, you should wait until you have a day where you can spend a little extra time getting your hair cut, because great work takes time, and that’s not a bad thing.
So bottom line, if you like to talk classic hot rods and are a fan of Good haircuts and HOT LATHER SHAVES go see Steve he’ll take great care of you.
