“ I've been going here for about 8 years to see Mario and it's always an excellent haircut and a first-class experience. Mario is meticulous and always does a great job. I've grown facial hair over the last few years and Mario is always on-point with the beard trim as well. The shop itself is always clean and everybody is always friendly. Can not recommend this place enough! ”

“ I stumbled upon this place 4 years ago, and I’m so glad I did. I have been going back ever since. Mario is a fantastic barber. I trust him to take great care of me. He pays attention to every detail. And, he has become a friend, chatting when - we are both energetic - about personal lives and the world around us, or just letting me relax when it has been a tough day or week. Related to the quality of his cut, I even mentioned him in a best man’s speech. The rest of the team is great, too!
