I’ve been a regular here for years and for those years I’ve gone through those«I think I look great» haircuts to the«That before was ridiculous, this is better and my mom and gf like it». The challenge with this place is telling both Nikos and Tasoula what you want. If it’s a fo-hawk, get out, those are done. The standby of a fade, shave, etc is where they excel. The only bad haircuts I’ve had is when I didn’t ask for it to be cut shorter. You’re not getting a hair stylist or artist, but a barber — a good old-fashioned friendly barber. Dudes should only go here. What’s great about this place isn’t so much the solid haircuts, but it’s the people, the connection you get with this family business. On the weekends their relatives come in, get a hair cut or bring their kids in. These types of business are what made Astoria what it is. The newest tequila bar was cool for a Friday, but overdone on a Monday. 20 years strong and they may not be the best cut in the world, but at $ 11 I’m expecting exactly what I ask for, and that’s what I get. The best part of getting a haircut here is the speed — literally 10 – 15 minutes and that I’m always offered a piece of candy. Astoria isn’t just an area close to the city, but it’s a place where you feel like home and are treated like family.

Story: I am very paranoid about my hair and who touches it. Moving from Chicago, I was in utter… utter paranoia… the kine where I need tranquilizers. Of course I took wrong recommendations from a friend… I don’t even know where to begin with this story. I seriously don’t. Let’s start from the finish and walk our way back… Saturday morning… while I was fixing my hair. WTH! My hair isn’t symmetrical anymore. What used to be my hairline… doens’t exist and the other side has been shaven so high. just omg. I wanted to cry. I was already 15 minutes late to a friend’s lunch. So I decided to COVERTHEHORRORTHATTHELADYDID… while covering one side, I left an unfixable hole on the other side. WAH! Rewind back… Friday afternoon… hair all done a few mistakes in the front, but it can be COVERED up. Meeehh. $ 11 what will you do? During the process of my hair… this lady measured nothing. She just buzzed, buzzed, buzzed, buzzed. Look good? Yea okay. buzzz, buzz, buzz. omg, I think I may have to kill you! Before all of this, I waited 20 minutes. Husband: I am sorry, my wife is a little late because she is finding parking. :D Okay. I was nice… and. now I regret every second of being nice. If murder wasn’t a crime! Later…I was late to a dinner because I had spend $ 25 dollars at another place to fix the butcher cut. I pray for the worst for you! I am literally on all fours. hoping and praying. My only favor from the adult Barney:.STRIKEHERDOWN!!! DOWN I TELLYOU!!! Don’t even give her a proper burial! AMEN!
