Are they running a day care as well. Two of the three times I have visited, there were kids were pushing the stools on rollers on them around the shop while screaming. The parents weren’t doing anything and Al didn’t even make an attempt to quiet them down when I voiced my opinion to him. He just said kids will be kids. That is when he just lost a customer as many of us don’t like screaming kids. We come here for relaxation, not to be in the middle of a day care. Are they running a day care as well.

I have had great experiences with Al's Barber Shop. Barbers are great, front desk staff sometimes needs encouragement to help with a timely response, but with some encouragement will respond in a nice fashion. Pay your parking, or at least schedule early in the morning appointments to avoid the college parking traffic. Definitely the best place I've ever had my hair cut, especially in Boulder.
Pros: Service and atmosphere
Cons: parking

I have had Al cut my hair three times now and he was late every time. The last time I was I was 10 minutes early. Al took just started the guy before me when I walked in. He cut into my time slot by 15 minutes and at that point I just walked out. If tis shop takes appointments, why are they always running late? The first time I was there, my parking meter ran out because he was running so late and got a parking ticket. The $35 for the haircut and the $20 parking ticket are not worth the trip. I will not be back.

I took my boyfriend there becuase I heard it was the only shop around where a guy could get a great cut without feeling overwhelmed. The building is cool, the stylist are trained and attentive, and he looks hot! He has found his barbershop and I don't have to worry when he says he's going to get his haircut.
Pros: Trained stylist
Cons: Boulder Parking Police- pay your meter
