We all know that the classic barber shop has just about disappeared. The barber who was licensed by the state and had gone to "barber college" has retired or is gone forever. What remains are amateurs who can't use a scissors and who service the exotic trade who mainly want furrows in their scalp. Well, Judy knows how to cut hair. I asked for a business man's neat haircut and got it. I recommend this shop. She listens and delivers. 5 stars.
One of my neighbors highly recommended Judy. Came here 30 minutes after it opened on a Saturday. There was a customer that was already there when I came and there was a customer when I left. Judy was so nice and understands hair so well. My hair can grow out really long and heavy. She knew exactly how to thin it out and what length fit well with my face and frame. She even gave me layers that will look good when it grows out. She's also a great person to talk to while getting your haircut. There was no sense of any awkwardness during our haircut conversation. She's a kind lady that loves her family. I can't wait until I bring my toddler to come get her haircut with her because I hear she's really patient with younger kids. She goes through a slow learning process to help them feel comfortable. If you haven't been here yet and you've been thinking about it, you should really come.
Gentle Cuts is not a hipster barbershop. There is no industrial exposed brick walls and steel beams, no espresso bar nor cutting edge dance tunes playing on the mixing board. It's a small, aging barbershop staffed by one of the nicest ladies to cut my hair in a long long time. Judy apparently has been dishing out solid and timely haircuts for everyone in the family for decades. I was driving in for the day to catch a theatrical performance downtown and since I'm no longer nearby my former barbershop I was looking for a reasonably priced and highly rated place without reservation fees and an over the top website presence. Called, was told there is no wait and to be sure to bring cash. Thirty dollars ($30) plus tip ($5) and less than thirty minutes later I'm back in business. She was friendly, chatty and a nice balance of efficiency and friendly. By the time I was done there were two more guys waiting to get cuts. This was a Wednesday afternoon before the July 4th holidays. I will definitely be back. Great job Judy and keep doing your thing the old school way ! It's perfect just the way it always was. Keep this level of service and fair pricing and we will keep coming back. Well done. I'm a fan.
