Wyoming Barber Shop — Attraction in St. Louis

Showed up last Friday running late for what I thought was my scheduled appointment. I see Marco, the owner, walking down the street as I am looking for a spot on the street to park. I roll up and ask him why he is leaving early and he tells me his 6:30 PM appointment had cancelled. I hadn't called Marco, so I check my phone and sure enough, I was a week ahead of my scheduled appointment. Marco could have waved good bye and had me come back next week, but he gladly turned around and accommodated me, while I was already there.

I've been getting my hair cut by Marco since I moved to St. Louis just over two years ago and I've been very satisfied with his services. Very affordable and a great quality cut. Old school barbershop feel. He has won my business for...

My normal barber was out of town and I needed a cut so the reviews and availability made me choose Wyoming. I scheduled with one of the ladies, but a male barber had an open seat so I went for it. In short, I found him to be at least smug, but more likely condescending. He mocked the way I described how I wanted a cut and cited my upbringing in Chicago as the reason why I didn’t describe it correctly. After he was done, he explained what I should’ve said for the cut I wanted. 2 stars because the cut itself was decent and the ladies seemed to do a great job, but the experience with this particularly abrasive barber is reason enough...

So glad I found this place! It's exactly what a barber shop ought to be. No gimmicks, just professional barbers in a shop like I grew up with.

I've moved around a lot, so it's hard to find a good barber in each place. Luckily, I found this one shortly after moving to STL. Here are my 3 rules for finding a good barber shop:

1. can't have "clips" or "cuts" in the name
2. can't have more than 3 chairs
3. no trendy names spelled with a "z" in place of an "s". (Sorry, Bladez, I'm sure your orange mocha frappacinos are delicious.)

A sharp, consistent haircut is $13, and they use a straight razor on the neck. Grandpa...
