There's a great little barber shop in Buffalo Grove, Il called Artistic Barbers. It's our third generation going there. It is hard to find a good place!

i have been going to this great barber for many years, it's called the "Cutting Room", the barber's name is roseann, the barber shop is in orland park, it definitely is hard to find a quality barber, so if you are looking try this shop.

Listen, who ever pays 50.oo bucks for a hair cut, is getting robbed. In Boston I go to a shop that is called. La Magia, Spanish owned. If your ever in Boston. Look up this shop. YOu'll come out looking very nice.

One of the best places to go for a great hair cut in North Dakota is at Big Sky Barber Shop in Dickinson, North Dakota! Great quality hair cuts, advice, hot shave! And, also good prices.

Great barber shop in Michigan, My husband owns and operates two locations in the metro detroit area. Barry's Professional Barbers in New Boston and Westland. Great personal service. Still shaves around the neck which most shops don't do anymore. He's a second generation barber. His father owned and operated a barber shop in Ohio until his death in 2002. If your in the area, give him a try. I'm sure you'll leave happy.

After a year without a haircut I think I'm due but I hate looking at my ears and no matter where I go the ears always get exposed!! So I'm through with barbers and hip chicks who seem to think I want a mullet. I've resigned myself to looking like a hippie.

I have been been a hairdresser for more than 30 years with a mix of men and women clients. I had 2 salons in NY.
The key to a great haircut is not only in the ability of the creator it is more importantly in the communication that happens prior to the first snip.

Direct specific questions or comments are essential.
Did you know that even though an inch can be measured in other forms it is still the same amount? Well not to some hairdressers or not to some clients.

I have had clients tell me in the past" just take an inch off" so I show it to them the response is either "that's to much" or
"Oh I want at least triple that!"

Imagine the botch jobs that come out of that scenario if you are not on the same page with your stylists/Barber

So my advice is have a conversation, ask them to show you were it going to end up after it is cut. Curly, wavy hair has a tendency to jump up almost half the amount depending on the tightness of the wave,

A 1/4 inch on that hair may equal 1 inch dry.

On the guy with his ears always showing. A typical question from a stylist is do you want it ' over your ears?"
I always add “around your ears. Or do you want your ears covered more than 1/2 way"

It is all in the art of communication. And what industry isn't?
