Junction Barbershop

I was a first time customer and probably a one time customer and here is why: the barber I had seemed professional and friendly enough. We chatted about the problems with Google maps showing the shop address at the wrong end of the road. No harm, no foul there. As I watched HOW he was cutting my hair, I noticed he almost exclusively used an electric hair razor. No use of scissors in the cutting of my hair, which is very fine. Also, I like a hot shave and razor cut finish to my neck and ear lines, blocked in the back. This shop clearly is new school and doesn’t appear to offer either. In moving here from a near by State, I came from a four chair shop out of state where everyone’s hair was cut with scissors and finished with a hot shaving cream cut finish. THAT is the difference between a real barbershop and men’s hair salon. The latter may be OK for the average Joe or the uneducated, but I will be on a quest for an old school barber in the Princeton area. It took me over a year to find my last old school barber. Hopefully it won’t take as long this time. Keep in mind the cut I received here was OK. Just not the close cut I get with scissors and a shave. My hair needed cutting sooner as a result. Again, nice people but they tended to rush and not provide the experience I am looking for.

Great atmosphere, Barbers are knowledgable. Joe the Barber has been cutting hair for 10 years — knows how to tape up, shape up, do fades, & etc.
