sam,
let it be known i am not a shill, but you should actually try the quinntessential gentleman on calvert. i think you would have respect for the place. they hand you a beer gratis when you walk in, they have plush old school barber chairs, small lcd tvs at every barber stall, and hot lather edging at the end. $25 for a cut without a tip, but surely worth it. i look forward to my haircut every month.

Bill, I went there once to have a haircut and my winter beard shaved, and it took like an hour and cost $50. I wouldn't have had a problem with that, but you have to pay extra for them to drag the straight-edge back up your face (for a cleaner, closer cut), and they missed a few spots on my face. I'm a Great Clips guy -- I can't pay that much for a sub par shave.
