AlisonTheBarber

"For years I have been trying to find the right barber, and I always felt like there was something missing. My hair was shorter, but I never thought that my barber and I could work together to find out what worked well for me. I had tried to ask their advice, but it never really worked. And then, about a year ago, I happened into Alison's chair. It's a simple question, but I had never before been asked what my goal was, rather than just the technical details of my trim. She helped me understand what to look at when I was looking at different styles, and once we got comfortable with each other, we've been able to bounce ideas off each other and come up with great styles which hit exactly what I wanted, but never knew how to describe. She is THE BEST barber that I have ever visited, and if she can do this with this introverted computer programmer, she can do wonders for you too. Update: I came to see Alison today after having moved to New Zealand 4 years ago, and visiting Albuquerque on vacation. It was like seeing an old friend, getting caught up on each other's lives, and leaving with the best haircut I've had on 2 continents."

"Really glad I came here to get my hair cut, she came in on a Monday to help me out (apparently Sundays and Mondays are the traditional days off for barbers, Today I Learned) and I really love how it came out! She listened to me, even though I was very unhelpful describing what I wanted, and made sure I liked how it looked as she went. Definitely coming back here next time!"

"Alison was very nice. You can certainly tell she has a passion for what she does and great knowledge. Great haircuts"

"If you’re like me finding a good barber is a challenge!! But finding an excellent barber is next to impossible!! We’ll…I found the impossible!! Not only is Alison’s skill set off the charts but from the time I walked in, to the time I left, that window of time was all about me!!! Great environment, great conversation, great attitude, great smile and best of all…FANTASTIC HAIRCUT!! That’s very difficult to find in your 1st visit!!! I have my appointment for the next visit and will continue to have her cut my hair!!!"

"Alison is GREAT! When I get my hair cut, I typically show a picture of what I'm looking for. Alison looked at the picture and made a suggestion to modify the cut slightly based on not only my hair growth but also on how frequently I get my hair cut. You can tell instantly she's a master of her craft. She also takes the time throughout the ensure you're satisfied and comfortable with what she's doing. After she was finished, she explained what she did and why, which I appreciate. She's friendly and exceptionally professional. You won't need to look for a new barber ever again!"
