St Francis Barber Shop

Not much to relate — I was in a hurry and was worried about being late for work– the Barber, did a great job of getting me in and out of the chair in just 15 minutes. Hair cut looks good as far as I can tell. The cool factor for me is I hear this shop is open on Mondays which works for my schedule.

Great place!!! Tony did an awesome haircut on me! He took his time did it right, and very reasonably priced. One last thing the shop was super clean!

Toni is the best barber in town.
Does anyone know where she works now? I went down to the shop and they said that she doesn’t work there anymore. They wouldn’t give me any contact information or tell me where she is currently working.

Not the worst haircut I’ve ever had but far from the best. The woman working was nice and the only employee there. She was finishing up with another customer as I walked in, so there was virtually no wait.
She seemed like she was in a rush for whatever reason. So much so, that she almost forgot to cover me with the cape before she started. Then about 5 minutes later she was done cutting my hair… at first glance everything seemed good, so I paid the $ 20 for the cut and left.
Only as I was driving away, I noticed that the blending was not done very well and there were a couple of spots in the back that were not trimmed. These spots were just about a half inch longer then the area around them. My usual cut is a number 1 on the sides with a high fade and finger length on top. Simple style to execute. I feel that if more time and care were put in then the cut would have been better.
This place is under the control of Cool Cuts which is in the same shopping center.(There is a sign that says «Make checks payable to Cool Cuts.») In which I also had a poor experience there.
I wanted to try a barbershop after years of going to places like Great Clips. Due to it’s proximity to my home and partially to my own laziness I chose this place over other higher rated and recommend barbershop. Sorry but I’ll be trying some place else next time.

Classy; serves you good ale while you wait; flat screen; but not flat barbers or personalities.

Shauna and Toni are the greatest! Both are excellent barbers, I kid you not. This is not a cool cuts kind of place, but a real barber shop. I go there and no where else in Santa Rosa. And where else can you find a barber who not only cuts hair but also shaves your neck and around your ears with shaving cream and a straight razor! You really get your money’s worth with them. I highly recommend giving them your business.

Norm gave my son his best haircut ever but when I went back was sad to learn he had retired. We didnt try the person who has taken over but interested to hear if anyone has

Norm gave me a great trim today. He has consistently cut my hair anytime I am in Santa Rosa for the past 3 – 4 years and he cuts all of my brothers’ hair. A very traditional guy who boasts about how «beauticians» are not trained to cut hair and that only the «real barbers» have the poles outside their shop. He is very professional and serious about his trade and has never failed to give me a great cut. If you tell him what you are looking for/​not looking for he is able to nail it each time. Highly recommended for guys at least.

Wow, if you want an old fashion barbershop feel, this is the place. I’ve been taking my son here since he was 2. He got his first hair cut from Norm (the owner). He has this seat for children right out of the 50’s and he uses clippers that are quiet. My son was scared of getting his hair cut but Norm has a set of clippers that are very quiet and he is so gentle with the little ones. He is a true Barber. He cuts the young and the old, men and women. Even my 21 year old nephew goes there! I highly recommend Norm.
FYI: He does give short hair cuts but they always look nice. Also, don’t talk politics with Norm, like all older people they have their opinions and have for many years and no one is going to change the way they think. Talk about the weather! :-)
The cost for a hair cut is NOT expensive at all, it is generally $ 20. He takes cash and I think checks but no credit cards. The Barber Shop is located on the side and back of the St. Francis Center across from the Dry Cleaners and next to the UPS Store. There is available parking back there so you don’t have to park in the front at Safeway.

Norm is the only barber and he’s awesome. He’s in his 70’s and reminds one of Mr. Rogers.
When Mr. Rogers visits Mississippi that is. He’s a tad «racist», but it’s not hate, it’s just a result of his generation. On the other hand, he doesn’t really say anything outrageuos, just politically incorrect.
He gives really short haircuts no matter what you ask for, BUT they grow out really well. I mean really really well. It’s worth the buzz-​cut look for a few weeks.
EDIT: Norm is a stupid old fartsack. He charged me 2 dollars extra for having «extra hair». I just took those 2 dollars out of his previously generous tip and metaphorically told him to shove it by never going back to his old, chinsy ass.
