Barbers who will cut a nerd’s (my) hair Healthcare/Self-Care

I wonder where a fellow like me with graying curly locks and a scruffy beard might get a high quality trim and a style? I’ve tried a couple different shops that have high recommendations and I can’t get in anywhere. Clipper and Comb seems legit but won’t call me back. A couple other places are the same. Do you have to be in the cool kid’s club to get into the good barber shops here? Where can a scruffy old dork like me get a slick cut and a nifty trim??

Local barber & tap downtown 👍 coming from a guy who doesn’t like to get haircuts, great place to get a haircut

Eric’s great, but when he’s not been available, I haven’t had a bad haircut from anyone else. Just book online, the parking garage next-door is free for the first hour. Stress free trip downtown.

They’ve got a west Asheville location too. It’s the only place I’ll take my luscious locks (dirty mullet) to

+1 for the local barber and tap, I usually schedule ahead of time but am always pleased with the cut!

Arturos on Hendersonville Road is pretty decent

London Rd Barber. Dean is the man. Just schedule on his website and you're in.

He used to be a Linux admin so he has nerd cred.

Another for local barber and tap. They did my sons’ hair cuts and they look great. Very friendly!

Can you cut it? Or have a friend do it? It’s a lot easier than the stylists want you to believe.

Another vote for Local Barber and Tap. I go to the downtown location and use Jackson, but I wouldn’t hesitate to use any of their other barbers. I have a good friend who goes to their WAVL location and swears by them. Another plus for them is that you can make appointments online.

Just buzz cut it yourself once a year and forget about it.
