No frills barbershop. No TVs, music, or much decor. Neal is short in his speech, but nice to talk to. There is a single barber chair that faces Colby Ave. The haircuts are ridiculously fast, but Neal is an old school barber, so he wasn't able/willing to do a bald fade (only went down to like a .5 guard or whatever he had), hard part, or temple lineup when I requested it. Otherwise, it was a nice haircut. For $10, I can't complain, but, ultimately, my hair wasn't fully done how I like it.
If you don't mind a simple environment for your barbershop, want to only spend $10, get a fast haircut, and don't need detailed work like bald fades, hard parts, or lineups, then Neal is you guy. If you like a more lively atmosphere and like more detail in your hair like I described, then I'd...

Keep in mind that Neal isn't a stylist, but this is no knock against him. The quality is...
Read moreNeal is an old school barber, and the end result of each cut is solid. He does veterans' discounts and small talk. You get your hair cut in a monstrous chair that looks like it was taken off the bridge of a WW2 battleship. It's all sheet metal, castings, and vinyl. It can't be beat. The prices are low, the wait times are short, and the cuts are good. If you want a no-nonsense cut for a great price, Neal is the man to see. Parking in downtown Everett can be a pain, but in off-peak hours, you get free parking with plenty of time to get your...
