    If you’ve been around as long as I have, you know there are certain things that seem so simple, but can cause so much agony. Getting a haircut is one of those things. If you’re lucky enough to have a good barber, it’s an experience you almost take for granted. You make your appointment, walk in, sit down, take off your pants, get your hair cut, and your on your way. If you are ever stuck with a bad Barber, though…watch out! One bad haircut can ruin every day for the next couple weeks (or longer). I’m writing this review to help make sure there are fewer people out there having “bad hair days”. Geraldo is old-school…no doubt about it (and I mean that is a predominantly good way). He’s a no-nonsense kinda guy who has perfected his craft over the years and doesn’t make mistakes. I will say that it could take one or two cuts before you get used to some of his tendencies and can make the proper adjustments, though. For one, he likes to trim the sideburns up high (close to the top of the ear) unless you tell him to leave the sideburns before he gets there. Secondly, I would definitely wear some thick flannel boxers or shorts underneath your pants. His AC is always broken and he is so serious about customer comfort that he will not even let you sit down until you’ve taken you pants off. Even if you’re able to convince him not to worry, it’s still nice to have the extra pair of undershorts on when he’s trying to trim some of the more difficult-to-reach portions of your quaff, he needs to straddle your leg, and inevitably (inadvertently) grinds the front of his thigh against your meat hammer and plums. Third, as an old school guy…he loves those “white walls” (shaving the hair on the side of your head around the ears, which was a real 50’s look). All in all, I’m absolutely sure anyone who finds Geraldo will be 100% satisfied with a haircut quality you don’t often see anymore and in an atmosphere that harkens back to a simpler time. Ultimately, if not for the occasional lingering feeling that he’s keeping my hair clippings and pleasuring himself while he glues them to his chest and abdomen, I’d probably give him 5 stars. Great haircut!

    Nice article. The word, however is "coif" (coiffeur) not "quaff" (more fun)

    This guy gave a pretty good haircut, and I appreciate a good shave with a straight razor, but things got weird toward the end. He grinded his old nutsack on my arm while softly blowing on my freshly trimmed hair, which made me feel weird because it felt kind of good. Anyway, he told me I seemed tense and asked if I'd like a beer to help me relax, but I was feeling a little uneasy so I refused. At this point he said he missed a spot on the back of my head and after he cut off some hair, the hair fell down the back of my shirt, which I think he was responsible for. He then told me I should go in the back and take my shirt off so I could get rid of the hair. I said I was okay and I just left, but not before he again offered me a beer. This is a great place to get a haircut, but the barber reminded too much of my uncle Sal

    He did the same thing to me years ago and it got a little creepy!

    He gave me a great haircut, I just don't understand why he asked me to take off my pants...
