NOTE: This review was written during COVID-19.
I went into Plaza Barber Shop for a haircut today. I wanted to share my experience for anyone who was curious.
Booking: You DO need an appointment right now. Just give them a call, making an appointment is quite easy.
Entry: I was asked to fill out a COVID safety checklist, and was temperature checked when entering. Hand sanitizer was used by all. There are barriers set up between chairs for added protection. Additional time between appointments has been allocated for cleaning. Everyone inside the building wore masks as expected.
Haircut: The haircut was fairly normal pandemic-wise. The barber wore gloves as well. When the barber had to cut near my mask straps, I lifted the straps, but held my mask on for safety so the barber could do his job.
Payment: Plaza Barber Shop is Cash-only so just remember this.
Positive Takeaways: I really felt safe during my haircut today. The guys did a great job as always and took a lot of time to ensure everything was clean. I would have no issue going back.
Constructive Criticism: They only accept cash-payments, mainly because there is no computer in the shop. While I personally have no issue handling cash, especially because of the excellent cleanliness measures implemented at the shop, I know some people might not feel comfortable with this. If there was some alternative electronic payment system like Paypal, Venmo, Zelle, or Stripe (all computer-free), it would be great in a time like this to further reduce contact. It's also a bit more convenient :p
Final comments: Anyone in need of a haircut would be well served here. The crew offers excellent service and most importantly, takes cleaning measures very seriously. I'll definitely be heading back for my...
Read moreMy name is Bruce I recently visited Plaza Barber Shop with my son and it was a truly wonderful experience. The moment we stepped in, we felt like we had stepped back in time to the good old days of vintage barber shops. The cozy atmosphere and the vintage decor made us feel welcome and comfortable.
Our barbers Jerry and Albert were fantastic they were very skilled, professional and friendly. albert took extra time to ask my son about his preferences and suggested different haircut options that would complement his face shape. He took great care to ensure that Justin's haircut was precise and looked great.
What's more, the prices at Plaza Barber Shop are very reasonable, especially for the high level of quality service they provide. And the location is very convenient, right in the heart of the city.
Overall, we had a great experience and will definitely be returning to Plaza Barber Shop in the future! If you're searching for a traditional barber shop with great prices and service, look no further than Plaza...
Read moreStopped by this barbershop around 3 PM on a weekday. There were three barbers inside, all sitting and reading magazines. I was promptly asked if I had an appointment, which I didn’t—like most people, I assumed a traditional barbershop operated on a walk-in basis.
The place had an old-school, somewhat dated look, which was fine and actually gave off a classic barbershop vibe. However, the attitude didn’t match. I was told that all the barbers had appointments coming in and would be busy for quite some time.
No effort was made to offer an estimated wait time, fit me in, or even act like they wanted my business. It gave off more of a “high-end salon” vibe than a neighborhood barbershop, without the quality or service to back it up.
Won’t be returning. If they prefer to cater only to appointments, that should be...
