Id prefer a 3.5 but not an option. Im in sales and have literally had my hair cut by dozens of barbers in the Northeast. My cut is very simple, but this is the first barber who didnt use scissors even for a second. This made me a bit nervous, but my haircut was adequate. Most barbers pay attention to details like eyebrows and ear hair, but this barber did not. While he razored my neck, it was basically two swipes with the razor and done. I thought it was more out of obligation than any attempt to clean up my neck hair. Although there was no one waiting the barber seemed very rushed, and completed my cut in less than ten minutes. The ambiance was the best Ive experienced at a barber shop. Frank Sinatra crooning, and old time movie posters on the wall. I was almost disappointed I didnt have to wait. The barber spoke when I asked questions. He was mostly silent. Im okay with this, but if you like small talk you might not be happy here.

Fantastic! Joe and his shop "The Barber Chair" are a classic example of what a barber shop SHOULD be. It has the nostalgic feeling of the "neighborhood barbershop" with memorabilia posters of music and sporting events as well as the classic white and white tiled floor. Joe himself was very personable, easy to talk, and you can tell that he genuinely loves what he does. Joe is a very thorough barber, taking his time and paying attention to detail. He evens shaves the back of your neck with warm foam and a straight razor (no extra charge) to look neat and allow for more time between haircuts. VERY reasonably priced, I would recommend him to anyone!

My Dad has been going here for years. Now hes elderly and doesnt like shaving but the barber (I cant believe we dont know his name) will shave down my fathers beard with the clippers. Im not sure he would do this for someone else but it is a kindness he extends to a loyal customer. We visit after my Dads appointments at the VA. So, depending on time between appointments, he could look like Santa Claus or something a little shorter. And I love the decor!! Gives me something to look at while my Dad is in the chair.

Terrible place. For starters, guy has an attitude. Terrible haircut. Went back with my son figuring how hard cut a buzz cut for a kid be... With an attitude he says he doesnt cut kids hair. Well, every time I drive by the place is empty, maybe thats a clue. Also, try putting up a sign that says "Adults only" if youre not capable of cutting a 6 year old boys hair.

Great barbershop and i have switched barbers to this one. I was in a hurry, found this place accidentally. I walked in got my hair cut, he got it perfectly just the way I like it on the first try. Great location, l love the decor along with a cozy atmosphere. I would definitely recommend this barber to all my family and friends.

Ive been going to the same barber since I was a baby, but needed something knew. The Barber at the Barber Chair reccomended a cut he thought would look good on me. He was right, I loved it. I also liked the calm and relaxing ambience at the Barber Chair. Im a huge hair guy and I have to rate this 5 stars, well derservingly.

Good clean barber shop! $15 for a cut. No wait and friendly service from Joe. The quick and quality haircut was finished with a hot straight razor shave to the neck. Recommended to others!

Worst barber shop Ive ever went to. Save your hairs and money, go somewhere else.
