If you don't want to wait then fucking leave. Otherwise grab a magazine, play on your phone, go have a cocktail & then get a great haircut from a talented barber when your name is called.
Love/hate relationship here. Love Nelson & the barbers. Hate the old timey system. At least allow same day appts. Hire someone to make this happen, better yet- I'll do it for free.
Just had an excellent haircut with Hugo. I nodded off as he conducted his methodical trim. When I woke up, he said, "I love it when people fall asleep--shows they're relaxed." I was.
Hugo is (was) the best barber this place ever had. Unfortunately it was a great shop when started as FSC Barbers but changed a lot over time and now it is way overpriced for the poor service it has.
