Birds Barbershop

So I just got my haircut at Birds Barbershop. And it's Sunday. And I didn't have to make an appointment. How great is that!

Besides the convenience factor, I have to say that it was probably the nicest and least awkward haircut experiences I've ever had. I walked in and was immediately taken back to the chair where I was offered a beer (which I declined, strangely enough). The woman who cut my hair (named Sarah) had super cool very purple hair, so I was instantly at ease. The conversation was fun and I felt like I was hanging out with friends as opposed to having a 'salon experience'. The whole place felt natural yet professional.

The decor is great, too. It's half 80's video game, half barber shop, half salon. This equals a whopping 150%. Now that's a good score. It's hip yet comfy, and apparently family friendly. There was a little kid next to me getting a pretty normal back-to-school-type haircut. He, and my stylist, highly recommend the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie, by the way. I'll have to check it out. Apparently it's pretty cool even though it's all animated. I'm slightly skeptical, though. I love a good turtle costume.

So don't be fooled by the name. Birds does more than your standard mohawk, faux-hawk or mullet. I got a really great 'girl haircut' (Ladybird) at a fairly decent price. My only beef is that I probably should have gone shorter, as my hair grows so quickly. But that was my fault- and I wouldn't feel awkward going back in tomorrow and asking them to take off just a little more.
