We review restaurants, stores, and everything else... but I've yet to see anyone talk about their favorite local barbershop/hairstylist/salon.
Or is everyone here like me and use Supercuts?
I'm actually cheaper than you are and have my wig buzzed by a friend at the price of a few beers. Though I may need to institute a new rule: beer consumption is not to commence until AFTER hair cut.
Keep it real ... cheap. Super Cuts.
I like the barber who works in the Crystal City shopping center. He's less than 10 bucks, he's good for local scuttlebutt, and he's got a way-cool haircut chart from the early 1950s hanging on his wall.
I don't have a favorite shop, I have a favorite barber/stylist. I have been going to him since 1981, following him around town to various salons, his own in-home shop, his own salon, etc. James Perry, currently at Lockers on Peoria across from Ch. 2; he has been at Lockers now for 3-4 years. Great stylist for both men and women, he has been cutting my hair for 26 years.
Trish's Barber Shop 5th and Lewis
She has been there for many years.
$5 when I first went there.
Then inflation and the dollar dropped in value went to $6
Then few years after Bush took over as President and it shot up to $8
May have to wait in line most times as she is the only person that cuts hair there and she is very popular in that area. She does a fantastic job on my hair. I refuse to go anywhere else.
She also has soda pop Coke and Pepsi in Glass Bottles, candy for the kids and 18 packs of Grade AA fresh brown natural double yoke eggs on Tuesdays.
Roffler Approach on the northeast corner of 71st and Sheridan is a great place. The woman there, Kay Anderson, has been doing hair for years.
Iidentity Salon at 38th & Peoria in Brookside is the best in Tulsa. As far as I know, it's also the only Bumble & Bumble salon in the state.
Ashlee Roberts is my stylist and she's absolutely incredible... All of the people there are.
My hairstylist is Mr. Flowbee and is kept in my bathroom at all times. It only cost a few cents for the electricity and the only tip I give him is to not go near the bathtub. [:P]
I want to go have Brittany Spears' barber do my hair. Her new look is stunning.

According to the news, she did her own after the stylist's refused.
You can take Britney out of Drunkhick, Louisiana but you can't take...
Kind of like how I do it. I just get my hair cut reeeally short, then let it grow out untill it gets too long. I figure I save on at least two haircuts between. [8D] I go in and say #2 on the sides, finger length on top. They usually ask, well how longs it been since you last had a haircut?,,, Ummm, I don't remember?[:P]
Good question, my haircut is simple. #1.5 all over the noggin'. So, I go anywhere although I should really do it at home. I don't like cleaning up the mess. So anyone know a good cheap barber shop downtown? Within walking distance of the BOK Tower maybe?

No schnitz!!! I went to him the first time a few months back. My boss has gone there forever. I've resorted to getting my hair buzzed with #2 and #3 trimmer guards and lettting it grow a few months, then getting a "renewal".
Before that one of my wife's friends would come to our house and cut our hair, but she was unreliable, took forever and charged me $20 for basically a buzz cut.
Thanks for the reminder, I'm about due again.
Did anyone else go to "Mr. Joe" down about 33rd & Peoria when they were a kid? Used to nip my ears with the electric trimmer.
Yeah, Conan, the only problem is that the barber is so short that I have to slouch in the chair. I guess it's hard to "take a little off the top" if you can't reach it.
'Course I did have to listen to some of his 12-step stories, I guess that's better than getting scalped by someone who is all blocked-up.

FRESH EGGS ON TUESDAYS
Trish sells the 18 count flat packages of Double Yoke Brown Eggs on Tuesdays. The farmer delivers them early in the morning, they are first come first serve.
Make the best omelets and Sunny Side up eggs I have ever had.
-------------------------------
OLD FASHIONED NOSTALGIC FAMILY ATMOSPHERE
Her three chair Barber Shop is not an overpriced posh brass and glass type of salon where fancy people go. It is just an old fashioned Barber Shop.
Trish does women's and men's hair cuts. She also has the way cool 1950's men's hair cut style poster on the wall, along with Crew Cuts and other later boys and men's hair cut posters.
GIVES BACK TO THE COMMUNITY
Trish cuts hair for the elementary age school kids in that area. Once a month she volunteers and gives free haircuts to underprivileged kids. Trish is featured in a nice article done by the Tulsa World, it is framed and hangs on the wall in the Barber Shop.

Cuts of kindness
Trish Dacanay understands the power of a good haircut. "It just makes you feel good about yourself when you know your hair looks good," says Dacanay, a barber in Tulsa, Okla., for 27 years.
For the last five years, she has volunteered her day off to give free haircuts to low-income children in her neighborhood who attend Kendall-Whittier Elementary School. She gives about 20 haircuts each Monday.
"I'm a single mom, and I've been there," she says. "I know that sometimes you choose between food or new shoes or a haircut. This just helps take some pressure off of some families."
Why does she do it? "I don't really know," she says. "God blesses me. I love when the kids look in the mirror and say 'Tight!' That means it's good."
