MEN'S ROOM Hair and Beard

I lived in Cedar Rapids several years ago and this was my go to barber shop back when they were on Mt. Vernon Road. I recently stopped in on a Friday afternoon during a trip back for a haircut at their new location. It's a very clean, bright and inviting atmosphere. I was able to walk in and was immediately seated for a haircut. Tate did a great job. The prices are great, but just be aware they are cash only. This place is definitely a better option for men's haircuts than any of the nationwide chains.

If I could give it a zero I would. The Barbers weren't the problem the owner was. I enter with my father so he could get a haircut. I have service dog which is required for a disability. Under the ADA, Americans with Disabilities Act, I am allowed into public business and private that provide to the public. The owner states that I am not allowed due to sanitary, fear, and allergy issues. I explained to him that since he is a service dog that I am allowed in even with those concerns. After a couple minutes of back and forth explaining. He storms off and calls the cops. He ended up putting a trespassing order on me. Forcing me to leave or I would have been arrested. I have never talked to a more ignorant, selfish, and discrimitory person before.

Came in at 4:45 for my 5pm appointment. Ended up having to wait until 5:10 but I’d rather wait than have him rush someone before me. Sat down in the chair after I showed him a picture of a medium hair length flow middle part. It was pretty much just a trimmed and styled version of what I had already, he clarified this when he said “so you just want it trimmed up?”. Ended up messing me up pretty bad, but I could tell that he probably didn’t have experience with that style. The cut is really uneven, it’s actually close to what I wanted on one of the sides, but the other side is cooked. Giving an extra star just because I could tell he felt bad and ended up giving me the cut for free. Next time I’d just let your clients know if you’re uncomfortable with a certain style that you haven’t done before and let them know that beforehand. I’d probably avoid trying to get medium hair or long hair cuts. The back is awful, I asked for a low taper fade on the sides and he tried doing something in the back and it just didn’t work out. He also spent probably just under an hour on a 30min appointment. I appreciate the effort and I feel kinda bad, but my hair is kinda slammed. My hair was cut by Adam. Seems like a chill guy, just a new style for him and didn’t end up working out. The photos are: the before, what I wanted, what I got.
