Odenton Barbers & Tanning

I have gone to many salons and barbers in the glen burnie/​odenton/​severn area. This place is definitely one of the better places in terms of quality.
First, the barbers actually talk to their customers. Well, most of them anyway. They were carrying on conversations with the people in the chairs and those of us waiting. I have sat through quite a few awkward hair cuts where not a word was said (or understood due to language barriers).
Second, don’t come here expecting frills. There is no reception counter. A line of chairs on the right, and a line of barber stations on the left. That is pretty much the extent of it.
Third, they don’t take credit/​debit cards, although they do have an atm machine on the premises. Another option is to visit the new giant and do a cash back purchase.
Fourth, they make attempts to know their clients. It was my first time in so they didn’t recognize me, but they asked for the name of one of their repeat customers. Not something they had to do, but a nice touch making their clientele feel important.
Fifth, they do the hot foam with razor neck treatment, in my mind the happy ending of barber shops. Nothing else comes that close to the skin.
My only recommendation would be for them to move the coat rack. With it being the middle of winter, almost everyone had a coat. Instead of using the rack at the very end of the chairs (near the back), people were throwing their coats on chairs and other places. I did it too, only because I didn’t see the hangers. putting it a better location, maybe between the sets of chairs, could help things.

A decent place to get a haircut. A little steep on the price at $ 17. They do not accept credit cards even though on this site they say the do and you will pay an extra $ 2.50 at the ATM they have in the place. So that’s $ 19.50 if you don’t pay cash.

The people of the Odenton Barbershop are top notch. Very friendly and great barbers. If your in the Odenton area and are in need of a haircut, this is the place to go.

Are you looking for a barber shop that still uses the hot lather and flat blade razor? This is it! All the cutters there are nice and personable. And after a while they get to know you by name and even how you like your hair cut. It is really like the Cheers of barber shops. Mic and Scott are the owner operators so they make sure you are happy with the service. Fantastic place. I am not into tanning, but they have that too. 5 stars!
