Dr. Neil Hair

Nothing to do classes – Im referring to a recent visit to a barbers / spa off Monroe Ave in Brighton called The Mens Room. It was really by chance that my usual barbers was fit to bust with large numbers of screaming kids (from the same family it seemed) and the ten minute wait was just going to be too long for my shattered nerves (this week has been busy what with international conferences and training events for the RPCN). So my wife convinced me to try it. What I noted as immediately different was the stylish shop set up and nature of clientele. There were people like me in there. Two comfy leather sofas to wait in, large lcd high def television (still with sports on unfortunately – but you cant win them all) – and immediately the offer of a beer or a glass of wine whilst I waited. What really impressed me however was finding my old hairdresser who had moved on about a year ago from the place of screaming kids mentioned earlier. She'd even remembered my name and seemed genuinely pleased to see me again. Andrea is exceptional at what she does and I would strongly advocate you ask for her when trying out this experience for yourself. Now, it isnt cheap, $36 including tip – but what you get for the $36 is quite unique on the experience front. First off – no screaming kids (this features quite highly in my list of preferred characteristics as you can see). They have a beer vending machine and very friendly staff offering to serve you one (I was going home to work so I declined an offer of a Honey Brown). The hair cut itself was also different, they offer a wet shave, scalp massage (which was GREAT), neck and shoulder massage, hot facial towel, rinse and dry – all for $36. I was then given tour of the facility which includes massage, pedicure and manicure sections. Overall – very pleased with this 'find' – they take their time with you and most importantly they do a good job. My biggest critic (my wife) was very impressed. So, check it out yourself – ask for Andrea and mention me to her. Perhaps that will be sufficient cause for them to sort their website out which looks as though its in a holding pattern right now.
