After going letting my hair grow long (for me) for the holiday photos that will be taken, I walked up to the Great Clips to get my hair cleaned up. I walked into the shop stood at the desk for awhile(they were really busy), no one came to get my name, so I sat back down to wait. Someone else came in and they took his name right away. Soo...
I started walking down Manchester to another salon type place in the Schnucks plaza. On the way I started to pass by the "Des Peres Barber Shop". Ever since I moved to Des Peres I have been telling myself that I needed to try it out so in I went. I'm glad I did. First off I was greeted , then growled at by a small dog who I quickly won over by rubbing his butt. Any place that has a dog on the premises immediately gets points in my book. My hair was done my Mary, the dogs owner.
It has been years since I have been to a barber. Since high school I have been going to places like Great Clips with a saloon type feel to them. For the same price, $15 + tip, Mary washed the back of my neck(kind of a mini massage), trimed my hair lines with a razor rather than electric trimmers, worked on my eyebrows & ears without being asked, and cleaned off my hair with a warm towl. I dont think I'll ever go back to one of those saloon places again!
They don't seem to have a website but here is the information from the business card I picked up.
