Magic Razor

Bobby let us use his restroom during the Florissant Fall Festival which is automatic points for this mom of a 5 year old boy. I asked him at the time if he would also cut a little guy's hair, and he said of course! I saw a sign that said, "Haircuts $15.00", so I was sold.



A month later, I decided it was time to take my son to try this place out. Mostly I'd taken my son to Great Clips, and while they did ok, I wanted to see what a real barber could do with his hair. Not to mention, I just like the idea of a real barber shop.



Bobby is a relatively new owner of the place. He told me he bought it in May 2015 and that he is originally from New York (the accent makes it pretty obvious). The atmosphere is covered with NY, KC and STL sports memorabilia. It's clean, bright and welcoming. He offers a variety of drinks while you wait and even had some little toys for my son to play with while waiting. When it was my son's turn, he took his time and really worked around some challenging cowlicks & very fine hair, and it turned out great.



I wasn't sure how a female taking her 5 year old into an old school barber shop would be received by any of the other patrons, but the shop is very friendly, the patrons friendly and the environment is nice & relaxing.



My son also LOVED the experience, and he definitely wants to go back.



Quick Tip: the shop is currently cash only, but there is a bank just 1 block away if you forget like I did.

I usually go to the chain places but I ended up at another small shop while at work so I figured i would try the one by my house and was not disappointed. The atmosphere and quality is so much better. Great place to go!
