I’m a student here and have King David as my instructor and he has been awesome!! He has 30 years of experience and gives us great techniques and also been polishing up on basic skills!!! If you are interested in barbering please come ask for king David!!! -
Donovan gave me a great hair cut. He did exactly what I asked him to do. He seemed a little nervous but that was to be expected. Well worth $3 plus a $7 tip. $10 for a haircut!!! I would give 5 stars but the place was too small for the amount of people inside. Also it was my first time and it was difficult to figure out the sign in system and no waiting area.

Wished to have a trim before we head back to HK. Passed by a barber school for only 3 dollars for a regular haircut. Hehe.. And it's not bad actually. Good that we could help out student trainees practice and also reach their 500 hours required for graduating.
