Since I cut my locks back in February I've been on the hunt for an adequate barber in SF. Someone that does a solid job and doesn't put my wallet in the figure four leg lock while doing so.
I have a go-to-girl for faux hawks in the Castro but I've been in need of a no-nonsense guy to handle the basic black man haircut maintenance (i.e.--shape ups, fades and line-ups). After going the budget route in various neighborhoods I admitted defeat and dissatisfaction. I realized there was only one answer in SF: I need to go to the Fillmore and get a man of color to do it right.
But how would I find the right barbershop?
I consulted www.yelp.com naturally and was somewhat nonplussed that all the black barbershops (2 of them) only had a handful of Yelp reviews. I guess black dudes don't do Yelp reviews.
I made my way to one of the chain barber shops in the Western Additon yesterday and was satisfied with my line up. Only $10 and no fuss while waiting patiently. It seems that my search has ended. I was contemplating heading to Oakland simply for a 10 min. cut but alas I have found my barber. I am comforted. I have found solace.
