You will have no Problem getting the period cut at Hawleywoods. Its one of the few Barber shops that actually promote themselves and get into doing Period cuts....

I wish Seattle had a place like that...

One thing that can help the barber is if you have a photo or photos of what you are looking for in a new 'doo. Also if you can get some before and aftershots for us here and let us know what your experience was like, so a full review would be good.

Sounds good! I'm so tired of those "Retro" places with no place to put your hat.

It's kind of a long trip from the Valley to Long Beach just to get a haircut, but I just might do it. It sounds like a great place.

Thanks for the report! And welcome aboard!

I just returned from hawleywoods in Costa Mesa, VERY small shop, 4 chairs,


They needed to remove a ton of hair. Next time I will add a shave. They do so much better than super cuts lol when super does a 2 on the sides that is a 2 zip, hawleywoods takes their time, dusts the cut hair off several times and does the straight razor on the neck, around the ears and side burns, I have not had that done for 35 years at least. I made an appointment already for next month:D loved the experience so much I am treating my oldest son to a haircut there as well.

Nice!

yea very cool huh? yea I like the shave around the neck and sideburns I go to the one in long beach and I like it although I think there the same distance but I think its easier for me to go to the long beach one. Post some pictures I want to see the hairdo (what style did you ask for?)

in the past at super*uts I would say 2 on the side and barely combable on top. Then I would get my hair cut the next time it was so long could not stand it.:eek: So I showed up with about 3" of hair over my collar, and told him I want a 40s cut. He was a bit concerned about length, I told him HE is the artist, I just want a 40s length is of no concern ;)

all they need are number panels under them:p

Like I told him, I have not been happy with a haircut since about 1970 and it was 10 years before that I had a real barber cut my hair.

I made an appointment for 4 weeks no more long and shaggy for me
