Dad's Moustache

Mel has been cutting my hair for 25 years. Old school barber who really knows what he's doing. Straight razor to clean up the back of your neck, scissors for the cutting. Great conversation too. He's knows the history of San Jose and Willow Glen since he's lived here forever.

" Do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life. " An all too familiar quote that we strive to live by right? Let me tell you Mel actually does this. He's been barbering for 50 years - an actual barber and not some homeboy that'll chat up his fellow barbers while pretending to cut your hair. He's the last bastion of an art that is fading away to a classier time. If you want not only a great haircut but fantastic conversation from a down to earth man then this is the place. I literally drive an hour just to get my hair cut by him. Thanks Mel !

[just down the side access road to the parking lot] I've rarely been asked so carefully what I'd like in my cut. Mel is a real pro, and it's sad to think he's retiring in a few years. Book ahead, he's a one man institution. Cuts around $20 exc tip. When someone's been cutting for 50 years or so, they really can do it all. Mel does it well aswell.

I always get a great haircut hard to find a barber who cuts with scissors and does a great job the best or one of the best i barbers in the area

Very friendly guy, easy to talk to on top of being an excellent barber.
