I just got back from my first haircut at 2B (stylist: Mary) and I'm very pleased. I called today and got in 1/2 hour later. The service was very warm and attitude-free. This is a small, neighborhood place that's classier than your typical barber shop but not as fancy as your typical salon (which is fine by me!) Mary was very meticulous and unrushed, which is rare these days. A shampoo rinse was included in the price ($25; $22 for 1st time customers) and it was more than just a quick scrub down--she incorporated a little temple massage which was a nice and much-needed treat. The cut turned out great and just how I wanted it. She asked for feedback and made a change I recommended in a friendly manner. The owner was a nice guy too. Apparently they also do straight-edge razor shaving, which I can't wait to try, and body waxing. I'm definitely going to 2B next time!
Pros: Detail-oriented, great cut, decent price
Cons: Just 2 chairs, so phone ahead
