OT: Jude's Barbershops
I get my hair cut there too. It was better when they were able to give out free PBR.
It sounds awesome.
They have multiple locations.

I have been going there for two years now. It is AWESOME. The hot towel combined with the straight razor on your neck is sweet. Not to mention all the tv's.
I haven't needed a haircut in some time.
Is that because you're bald? Bill?
How did you know? ;-)
I'm a big fan of Coach and Four
Is Jerry "The Butcher" still there?
It used to be the only place you could get a terrible hair cut while having your skates sharpened by a pro. Guys in the NHL used to send their skates there to get contoured. Top notch!
Jerry's good people. I know his son is cutting hair there now... also a good guy... but I believe the sharpening/contouring is gone (could be wrong).
Good-looking stylists, a bunch of TVs, classic rock playing on the speakers and all sorts of cool posters on the walls.
I normally go to the Forest Hills location.
Sounds like a good place, though I prefer dives with Hustler magazines over chains with wallpaper.
Best haircuts I ever had in AA were at Hall's in Kerrytown: straight out of the movie Barbershop. Once he sat me down and said "you are going to hate this..." and he then took a divot out of my head with his clippers and said "but I haven't had lunch yet. Now, you can't leave, unless you want to walk around looking like an idiot. I'll be back after lunch." He walked out of the store, leaving me sitting in his chair alone, and came back 20 minutes later.
It's all women haircutters, but it's a place for guys. I don't think you can get straight razors, but they DO have recliners, flat screens, a pool table, plus the hot young thing that does mine gives shampoos that are like, "Are we going to do it now?"
Awesome.
That I walk out the door my hair is shorter and I feel silky smooth.
What no MS Paint?
