  Been going here since it opened! Great atmosphere and the guy that works there is such a cutie.

  Incredibly cool dude, equally cool barber shop. He's been doing this for 12+ years. You can tell he's dedicated to his profession.

  The cut itself was just okay. The whole experience was the worst haircut I've ever had.
  
  First of all, I'm not wild about making reservations for a 20 minute haircut, but I had heard good things about this place so I figured I'd give it a shot. I was genuinely excited.
  
  From the onset, Jeremy was short with me. I honestly cannot imagine why, I have never had this happen when getting my haircut. Yet, he seemed to dislike me. (Note: I was perfectly on time for my appointment.) His eyes seemed to radiate contempt when he looked at me.
  
  After successfully making me feel uncomfortable before I even sat down in the chair, Jeremy asked me what I wanted. I brought a picture along, because I've found that that works the best. (I've brought this photo in to two other barbers, they took it with no complaint and gave me a fantastic cut.)
  
  Jeremy (smirking) then says... "... do you *really* want that haircut?" and said it looked like it was from the 90s or something. To which I replied, "well, if you think so, you're the expert on this, so what do you recommend?"
  
  "uh i dunno." So, if memory serves, I think he just agreed to do the haircut I had brought in "and make it look good". So we proceed with the haircut and he continues to make things uncomfortable. His idea of a good conversation seems to be just trashing random things, you know, like a high schooler's sense of humor. Anything I would say, he would some how find to be contrarian. Again, I think he probably was just giving himself a laugh, but given the awkwardness stinking up the room, it just felt unprofessional.
  
  Anyway, when the haircut was finished, it was alright. It was middle of the road, he kinda gave me what I wanted, and partly just did whatever he wanted to do. I think I got it fixed up by someone else a few weeks after the fact, but it's been a couple months now so I'm not entirely sure.
  
  Here's my final take: if you come here, and Jeremy likes you, this could be a fantastic place. But you're rolling the dice when you walk through the door to that little add-on to his house. If something about you offends his middle-aged punk wannabe attitude, you're in for a bad time.
  
  Oh yeah, and $16 was a bit pricey for my tastes.
  
  (I posted this on Yelp but I'm putting it here as well.)
