The two barbers from this place are awesome and a great pleasure to deal with. They were great, friendly, informative and provided a great experience. That was an excellent cut and I got great compliments! Will be coming back soon to support a locally. I strongly recommend this business!!
Holy $hit do I really want my son to get cut here???? Ok let's rewind............. I was looking for a last minute barber for my son and of course the first shops that I called were completely booked or no answer. I then found Sam's and I was told that it is a walk in, first come first serve and has been for the last several years. I got to admit I really do appreciate that service from a barber shop, it seems barber shops now n days are all on appointment only, which in my opinion sucks and causes problems with clients and barbers. But anyway I said cool and decided to head down to Sam's As I walked in I couldn't help but notice the old school sports man-cave attempt of a theme. And 2 barbers that were both silent as a cadaver in a ice box. I mean they did say hello as I walked in. First thoughts were do I really want to do this to my son and man I don't really have a choice let's take a chance. My Son was on a chair within 10 Minutes of getting there. Barber was some old lady who I think has a secret obsession with Bernie Sanders. I showed her pictures of what I wanted my son's hair to look like and she said she could deliver. 25 Minutes later she was finally done, and I must say the cut was not bad, it wasn't great but not bad. I was super surprised. All in all I would say good job! and for a shop that I had very little Faith in, they delivered. I think we may come back.
Chris is the best. Avoid the older female. I have nothing nice to say about her. She may have got her training from Supercuts. Everything I asked her to do, she went completely opposite. So I'll leave it at that. You've been warned. I have tried the other barbers in that shop. But I'll definitely recommend Chris. He knows a lot about men's hair and hairstyles. He's a natural.
