Best Barbers in the Slope

S' funny. I always used to go to the Park Slope Barber Shop hungover on a Saturday, and they'd always give me a stupid dorky cut, and I only had myself to blame, since I was in the habit of giving them instructions that went "uuuuuurrrrrrghhhhh...". Anyhoo, I'm much more clean living now and went in the other day and gave them very nice and concise instructions, which they proceeded to cheerfully ignore while discussing in a very old-skool fashion the provenance of Golden Oldie crooners. And I still looked like a dork. I think that my stupidly shaped head just stimulates the pirates at Astor Place more. I heard nice things about Medusa, opposite PS 321 on 7th, yea, even for chaps, but haven't ventured in yet. [oops. My bad. The original poster specified a sub 15-dar haircut. Medusa is several factors of that]

Subject: Master Barber Orlando

Although I hate to give out my State Secrets, I go to Master Barber Orlando on 5th Ave b/w Carrol and President (about three doors down from Moutarde) He's from Cuba, does a classic cut with clippers or scissors, does not often have a line, and has great stories about old Cuba. He's been cutting hair since the time when 5th Ave was the ghetto.

Jesus Christ, why don't you two try cutting your own hair?

Clover Barber. the old guy who cuts hair on the corner of 7th and 12th is awesome. he's a sweet old Italian fellow. Does a decent job and I think it's only like $12 bucks. BTW, don't visit the Barber Shop on Prospect Park West by the Connecticut Muffin. When I got my hair cut there last week, the guy who was cutting it answered his cell phone and proceeded to have a five minute conversation (while still occasionally snipping my hair) and when he hung up, he seemed surprised when I said that was pretty poor customer service. If it had been important or if he had excused himself, I wouldn't have thought twice about it, but to just keep talking on the phone in the middle of the haircut, I was kind of offended. Am I totally out of it?
