I have been using fade 48 for about a year now and they have been great and consistent since day 1. Being mixed I have unique hair that I have had messed up a time or two but inexperienced barbers but Ezel has never done me wrong. His fades are clean and his line ups are crisp. There's also something great about a barber and a barbershop that can read the room and your mood, they know when to have a discussion and when to just let you chill while they give you your cut (I have two young kids at home so sometimes peace and quiet is hard to come by but also a good conversation with another adult can be just as important). If you've spent enough time in a barber chair you know how this can make or break your visit so for me Ezel and Fade 48 get 5 Stars. If your wondering about a new barber don't hesitate to give them a shot. Top tier professionals and a clean shop environment.
I paid the $80 which included nose wax but wasn’t offered that service. Also, I think they (well the barber I went to) is used to cutting only straight hair. You can decipher what I mean.
Kay is a master of his craft. His talent and attention to detail are truly unmatched. After years of searching for the right barbershop, I won't go anywhere else. Highly recommend Kay Farah!
I'm a salon owner myself and I would highly recommend these guys. They were absolutely amazing and worked well with my son. We definitely will be back!
