I decided to go to Bearj after reading the reviews, because even the people who said he was arrogent said he gives great haircuts. I can deal with arrogent - I'm out of there quickly enough - but my hair stays with me! The first time I went there, Bearj looked at my hair and told me to grow it out a bit and come back in a month. I was astounded and very impressed. That's the first experience I've had with a hairdresser refusing to do what I want (and thus getting money from me) and rather doing what was right for me! When I went back after a month, Bearj gave me a haircut that seemed just okay at first, but it's been another month since then and my hair is looking fabulous (and has been for the last 2 weeks). That's the true test of a haircut - does it grow out well? And my hair was so layered and bushy before - the result of many bad haircuts - that Bearj warned me that it may take some growing out (with good cuts at regular intervals) to get it right. Not that it matters too much, but I found Bearj easy to chat with, and everyone there quite friendly. Reports that the place is dirty are simply unfounded. Makes you wonder about people's motives for posting here.
Pros: best cut I've ever had
Cons: expensive - but worth it
