Bill Daniel’s Barber Shop

I made error on my last review, Probably aged Bill by 20 years. He has been here in this spot since 1960. He is a wonderful Person and a Character to have a conversation with and having raised 7 Children, he got a few stories too. I’m going for my Second Visit today, been waiting for my hair to grow enough. I promise you will not be disappointed here. You will be Bless.
Sincerely,
Chris Wilson

Bill charges $ 20 for a haircut, but the stories are free. I will now go well out of my way to get my haircut by him whenever possible in the future. I am fascinated by his stories regarding his children, his own childhood in rural Oklahoma, and his young adulthood working oil rigs in Utah.
His barber shop isn’t much to look at, really. It appears that the store has been there a while, so don’t expect a brand new franchise with sparkling mirrors. However, the equipment they use is very much up-​to-​date if not brand new. I could tell that Bill takes his job very seriously when I had my first haircut with him. He does not simply use clippers and the trimmer all over the place; rather, he uses his specialized tools to achieve the desired results, and he takes the time to tell his customers exactly what he is doing. He also takes his time with each customer. I believe he spends about 40 – 45 minutes cutting my hair, and I consider my haircut to be simple.
He also understands that business about building relationships more than simply delivering a product. The first time he cut my hair, he asked me what I did for a living. When I explained that I was looking for work at the time, he told me, «Your haircut is free today. You’ll come back when you get a job.» He would not take my money that day, even after I told him that I appreciated the gesture but didn’t need his charity. It was my first time there! He didn’t know me from Adam, but he was giving his services away to me. Who else would do that these days? He still won’t take my money from that first haircut, even though I have returned after finding new employment. He calls it «advertising,» but I suppose I would call it «selflessness.»
I suggest setting an appointment before arriving for a haircut. Even though office hours are posted on the door, he runs a small operation, so there is no guarantee that anyone will be there during open times. However, he will go out of his way to meet you there early if you call ahead.
He doesn’t try to sell any hair gel or other salon products, but he will try to sell some Melaleuca. I enjoy getting my haircut by Bill.
