Holy crap, that's where I've been going!!! No one there's ever mentioned baseball before, I've always talked Football and basketball. Wow, neat odds. They do a decent job on my hair. There was a guy at this barbershop right next to Mac Haik Chevy that did a great job, but his boss freaks me out so I only went once. Dude looks like the pawn shop owner from Pulp Fiction.
i've been going to Nancy at Vanity Salon for ~6 yrs? she is great esp for asian hair since ours is generally thicker and harder to cut. needs lotsa layering. san felipe at bering and there are a lot of ladies there that are really good. my haircut is in the $55-60 range so i'm guessing the guy haircuts would be abt $30?
I know you said no franchises, but there's this stylist at the Visible Changes in First Colony mall, named Thi. I guarantee you that once you go to her, you will keep coming back.
I've been told that Asian hair is hard because of it's angles. Apparently, most Asians hair patterns differ from front to back, and side to side. Maybe the guy who told me this just didn't know how to cut my hair. Doesn't matter, I buzz cut my hair once a week now. Looks better, and less maintenance.
Tony's Hair Salon at Bellaire and the beltway. There are so many hot vietnamese girls that go there for cuts. Tony and 2 of the girls really know what to do to make you look good if you want to spend the 20 bucks or whatever for a man's cut - it's less than that, I forget how much. You will get the best look for you. Sometimes a neck and head massage, too. I go to Fox hair in Sagemont and the pretty vietnamese girls there do a pretty nice job for $ 5.00. Same for classic hair and nail off Fuqua, near Pho 21. That area has a ton of vietnamese hair and nail places, all cheap, all with nice girls.
I miss my guy in Atlanta. He was expensive ($55) but well worth it, in my opinion. Funny, Jeff, I have gone to Eddy a few times. I don't really love it, but I have gone more than once because I don't know what else to do (and he is the cheapest). I have been to about 4-5 different ones since being back in Houston.
I cut my own damn hair. Yeah, its gotten pretty ugly in the past. Saves mooolah though. Although future Mrs. twhy77 wants me to get a "real Haircut" a week before the wedding. Battleax.
I love vietnamese women (and Pho, MMM!) but I always get the feeling they are talking about me in Vietnamese right in front of me, like they did Elaine on Seinfeld. "Look at this cracker!" lol... Where's Frank Costanza when I need em?!
