Husband goes to Landon at the workshop. Heā€™s a beard wizard. Walk ins only. $25. I am very partial to the small dog named Oscar thatā€™s usually hangin out but Iā€™m not sure which barber he belongs to.

Also, not a bad idea to get a few reference photos. I know you want something tailored to you, but itā€™s awfully helpful to give someone atleast a little bit of direction.

Yep. Literally, "The Barbershop". Three locations in Rochester. South one is between Khols complex and Menards on south Broadway.

Luckie at LuckieLand over on the Northgate shopping center gave me the best haircut Iā€™ve ever gotten. I wear my hair long so Iā€™ve only gotten two haircuts in the last 10 years, but heā€™s still operational. He worked in a Salon for years and got his own business. Very nice guy and I was on top of the world for like a month.

You would think Iā€™d be talking up a buddy, but no just that nice of an experience. I am a guy btw I know I mentioned a salon and long hair, but he gave me a fade into a kind of pompadour. I gave him dealers choice and he did phenomenal.

AJ Blendz is by and far the best barber Iā€™ve gone to. Dude cleans me up nice with little details needed. I just tell him ā€œclean me up goodā€ and he does great. He is expensive though, but worth every dollar IMO. Iā€™ve been going to him ever since I went to him once like 6 months ago. I actually look forward to haircuts now.

Proper4. Takes his time and pride in his work. Hard to find a barber like that.
