Slick & Dapper on Grand — Attraction in Oakland

"Sometimes, you're a man, and you need a haircut. And you want a beer. And you're walking down Grand in Oakland.

And there it is. Slick and Dapper, a place to get slicked and dappered and, while you wait to be dappered up and slicked down, you can drink a beer like a working man, or a tea, like a British working man. Or water, like a San Franciscan.

And then you'll sit in your chair and you'll get a fantastic cut, and if you're a bright man, you'll get a shave as well, because at Slick and Dapper they do a proper shave, the sort that would make your Grandfather nod and go “mmhmm.”.

So go get slicked and dappered, like I did. Because yes."

Had my first cut here with Tasha! I made the appointment same day, and when I got to this sweet little shop, Tasha and her colleague greeted me and offered me a refreshment while getting the area ready for our work together.

I showed Tasha some photos of hair cuts I'd gotten in the past that I liked, told her what I liked about them, and she followed up through the cut to clarify anything that I hadn't explicitly asked for.

Not only did I get a great cut - automatic compliments two days in a row - but I was able to get some super valuable information the the health of my curls after some prior advice took my hair to a weird place. A wealth of knowledge with steady and skilled hands and...
