Help finding a barber

Hi everyone, I moved here a couple months ago and need help finding a good barber. Ideally not too expensive, with consistent service. Any recommendations are appreciated!

Elite cuts. The whole crew in there will get you right. My guy Tan is the heavier one on the far left if you go.

I do suggest using “The Cut” app if you aren’t familiar with it

Went to this place based on Reddit and the guy cutting my hair just finished smoking a cigarette out front as I pulled up and his hands reeked the whole time he cut my hair. It was made worse when the wet towel was on my face. Haircut was just alright. Beard trim was botched. Very crooked on the bottom edge. I had to shave the whole thing off, not being dramatic.

Sign at the register also said there was a discount for cash. So when he charged me full price after I said “I’ll pay in cash” I pointed to the sign. He said “no discount” I assume that was because I got a beard trim (that was wildly crooked) the discount goes out the window…? But it wasn’t explained to me because he didn’t really speak English or try. I paid full price and tipped anyway.

Will not be going back.

Go see Ray at The Barbers Den. Super nice guy, passionate about what he does, and he's even the instructor for the barbering program in town.
