I was back in town visiting relatives and stopped by to get a hair cut because this was my go to place when I lived here three years ago. Got a simple 3 cut all the way around no frills. Same haircut I have been getting for years and it looked great. Time to check out and I get charged $45. Outrageous for a simple buzz cut. Most I have ever paid was $25. Never again.

One of the best spots to get a cut in Philly. Unfortunately due to covid they had to close their other two stores in the city but that just means the best one stayed standing and I promise you it is worth the drive. Very friendly, great vibes, well educated in their art of Hair & you leave feeling like you made a new friend. Deff we'll be back.
