I'm not from the area and I went here because I really needed a haircut and it was one of the first results on Google Maps. Got there and found out it was appointment only, but Charles convinced me to make an appointment for the next day.
I arrived and he seemed like he was in kind of in a hurry. He asked me how I wanted my hair cut and I told him essentially what I always tell my barber back home: "1.5-2 inches off the top, a #2 faded down on the sides.
He proceeded to try and put a part in my hair, which I've never had before and wouldn't really like to. I told him this, and he got somewhat confrontational about the way I described my haircut to him. I'll admit that it wasn't the most descriptive, but I haven't ever had to be. I've been going to mostly the same barber for the past few years, and couple others I've went to have done fine.
He took out the part, but then started messing with the sides again, which I was somewhat confused about, but I figured he knew what he was doing. Eventually there was no more fade in the sides and it was pretty much a #1 the entire way down. He only took a half an inch off the top. When he finished up, he asked if this is what I was wanting. I told him I had asked for 1.5-2 inches off the top, but he seemed ready to move on to the next appointment and I was getting frustrated so I just decided to get out of there.
I'm sure Hancan Barbershop does a fine job with their regular clients, the other people in the shop seemed perfectly happy. But if you're new to this place, I would recommend you come in prepared with a very good description of what you want. Charles did say a picture would have helped. Maybe they just aren't used to cutting the specific style I wanted. Anyways, I wish them the best of luck but I will not be coming back.
