For Men Only

I’ve been going here for quite awhile now and I have always gotten a good haircut at a reasonable price. The free beer is a nice touch when they have it too. Only downside is that it can be hard to get an appointment sometimes, but on occasion I’ve gotten a haircut as a walk in. After trying about 4 different places in state college, I decided this place was the best and I’m sticking with it. They do bear trimming for six bucks too.

I’m satisfied with the haircut but…
I went online a day before my haircut and booked my appointment with Leanne for 2pm. I had to fill out a set of fields on the site, verify my email address, blah blah and after 5 min of the online saga, I finally booked my appointment.
I went to the salon at 1:45pm and showed them my appointment email confirmation. Unfortunately, it was not honored. Leanne also transferred the blame to me saying that I had booked at the same time with someone else, which caused the error. Later, I overheard the 2pm appointment guy saying that Leanne had called him up and asked him to come half an hour early because she was free at 2. I had to get a haircut from someone else thanks to this. Overall, not what I expect when I pay $ 25.
Tip: Don’t book online; call and make the appointment. Their system is from the stone age.

I have been coming here on and off for a while now. I have had 1 bad haircut here in the past 3 – 4 years. Otherwise, they know their job. Today, Tanya did my hair. I liked that she asked me just enough questions about how I liked it cut, but didn’t go to technical. She used her judgement and experience and gave me the right suggestions before she went ahead. I have has other people do the job too, and they all did well. So yea, bottom line, come here if you want to get a haircut but not have to decide whether size 1 clipper is better or size 2. They don’t mind giving a professional opinion, and that’s what really counts in this business.
Annoying part, this new electronic sign-​in kiosk at the salon. It just keeps zooming in and out. I think that website needs to be optimized. I had to ask one of the hairdressers to enter the information into their computers.

I am always skeptical when finding a new place to get my hair cut and only found this place junior year, but I wish I would have found it freshmen year because it is the best hair experience possible. The online scheduling is an awesome change that makes getting an appointment a breeze. The service is unmatched both in the quality of hair cut you receive and the overall experience. Free beer. Hot foam neck shave. Hot towel on your face while they watch your hair. Did i mention free beer? Definitely request Suzanne. You will not be disappointed. She really takes care of her clients and takes her time to ensure you hair is perfect every time. I have already recommended this place to friends and they have had similar experiences. Don’t settle for super cuts. What is a couple bucks extra every 6 weeks. Just cut two cups of coffee.

I started going here through walk-​in appointments and found the staff to be alright nothing special. Eventually I got my hair cut by Leanne and learned why she is always booked! Even though my hair is short and easy to cut, I would much rather it be done by her.

Best hair cuts I’ve gotten — they listen to what you want and give you a cut more tailored to what you want than you even know. Leanne was fantastic.

Less than $ 20 to be pampered for 20 mins. Get the neck shave and wash with scalp massage after the cut. Make an appointment with Leanne, she’ll treat you right!

If you are a guy with short hair, this is the place to go. They get the big things right: get you in and out quick (assuming you have an appointment), give you any popular men’s style you ask for, give you a shampoo, and style your hair with your choice of product. For just this, they are pretty good.
However, where they really shine are the details: hot lather neck shave, hot towel with the shampoo, free beer while you wait, and a free «clean-​up» after one/​two weeks. The beer is novel and the hot towel is relaxing, while the neck shave clean-​up will ensure that you look your best.
The clean-​up is why this is the place to go if you have short hair. Everywhere else will charge you just to get the corners and back cleaned up, but here they will just give it to you. For my hair style, that means that I look good for a month, instead of looking like a bum by the time I get my next hair cut.

The modern barber shop, and as their name suggests, only for men. All hairdressers are supposedly experts with men hair care, and offer «consultations» about which products to use. I’m not exactly sure what made them experts about it, but still.
The real attraction of this place is that everything is tailored for the «male» experience, as evidenced from this little tidbit from their own website:
«An atmosphere that will cater to you as a man, with mens magazines, t.v. with sports, news, and anything else you would like to see (we know that you guys like to have control of the remote, therefore it’s yours). You
can also grab a beer if you’d like. Remember… we wanna spoil you»
Fittingly, the place is reminiscent of the look that Mel Gibson was going for with his loft, in the not so manly «What Women Want»: Black leather, minimalist, and lots of open spaces. Big big mirrors.
The haircut itself was ok. For $ 18+tx, it wasn’t much more expensive than SuperCut or any other place that most non-​caring guys will go to. Probably only $ 2 – 3 more. But I left feeling pampered in a Oh So Manly Way!
I do want to point out that one time I did go with long hair (between chin and shoulder) and that didn’t like what they did with it at all. I guess they are mostly experts of the easy cuts and wax/​gels products. Stay in their comfort zone.
Note: Your read their thing correctly. They do actually serve beer, for free. They have a keg at the back, and you can really enjoy a cold one while waiting and, also while getting your haircut (don’t worry the hairdressers don’t drink on the job). The last couple times I’ve been there, it’s been Yuengling.
