I usually wait til I go home to get one, but this shit is driving me crazy. Suggestions on the best place to go near campus?

People are going to tell you Man-Mur, but there is only like one guy in there that won't fuck up your head.

I go to Professional Barbers in Cary and neither of those two have ever given me a bad haircut.

9/29/2011 8:10:20 PM

Man Mur

I've gotten my haircut there since freshman orientation and have never gotten a bad cut

9/29/2011 8:10:35 PM

Esquire Haircutters on Hillsborough, or Professional Barber Shop in Cameron Village.

9/29/2011 8:42:50 PM

Man-Mur, unless you are a woman or a hippie.

9/29/2011 8:48:32 PM

Manmur is good for pretending to be in the military.

I went to the professional barbershop when I was in Raleigh the most. I also had good experiences and esquire, 5 points barber shop, and some place downtown that I currently can't think of the name.

9/29/2011 8:54:51 PM

I'm anti-military and I love Man Mur

9/29/2011 9:28:27 PM

Man-Mur does it well.

So does the barbershop near the Bell Tower, though it has a certain "atmosphere" to it.

9/29/2011 9:41:36 PM

I've did Esquire on Hillsborough St. back in undergrad because of its convenience, and because seemed like a small step up from a great clips without being expensive. Don't know if its still that way, but I liked it back then.

Only place I ever found that did a good job.

9/29/2011 10:04:10 PM

When you get married / old and you don't care what people think of your hair anymore you just do that junk yourself. Go out on the deck with the 1 guard on and buzz the whole thing, then ask the wife if I missed any spots.

I've been to both Man Mur and Esquire and like Esquire better. Went there several times actually and they always did a good job. Also The Barbershop near Crossroads (kind of behind Lowe's next to Moe's) is really good, but it's a few minutes drive from campus. $11 for everything and the few times I've gone there I have been happy with the results.

^i tried that approach for a while, but i missed the hot lather straight razor shave on the back of my neck. that shit will make you feel like a million bucks.

9/29/2011 10:41:18 PM

^ yep. Gotta love the hot lather and straight razor. I go to this place in Apex and they do it as well http://www.mensextra.com/

And has Man Mur learned how to sweep up the hair right after cutting it yet or is it still extremely dangerous to walk around in there?

9/29/2011 11:06:54 PM

Be careful, many have walked out of there having been Man-Mur-dered. They pretty much have 1 option and thats high and tight.

That's a valid assessment of Esquire.

I used to go somewhere in Cary, years ago. Now, I just let my boyfriend cut my hair. Free, and it's good enough.

9/30/2011 8:23:49 AM

I'd say more than a small step up. It's not a trendy salon, but they take the time to do a good job, rather than rushing you in and out. I always ask for Ron when I go there.

I took a razor to my head about two weeks after I got married

Much better than just using a 1 guard because you don't have to worry about missing a spot and it feels so good after you shave it.

9/30/2011 9:03:45 AM

I too cut my own hair...with my dog clippers and the shortest guard I have for the sides and the next one up from the top. You can make damn near anything decent with hair goo with the exception of too short.

That said, I did stop by the folks' house last time and get my mom to touch it up. She's pretty good and used to cut it all the time when I was a kid (cuz we were poor and shit).

Lately, I have been looking for some place other than Man-Mur and myself to get my hair cut. I find that the wimmens are a little more critical of my haircut than I am. This thread is relevant to my interests.

9/30/2011 9:15:32 AM

I go to Alter Ego down by Moore Square. Ask for Kegan. I'm reaaaallllly picky about my hair and he does well. I'm also a chick, though, so I don't know how he does with man hair

9/30/2011 12:00:27 PM

Sam and Bills

9/30/2011 4:12:32 PM

I go to N Style in Mission Valley next to Ruckus.

9/30/2011 5:51:01 PM

Esquire is where I've always gone. Good people work in there and they give a good haircut. Ronnie is the guy I always get to cut my hair.

9/30/2011 5:53:56 PM

Thanks for the replies, I may give the Esquire place a go next week.

9/30/2011 6:07:18 PM

I can buzz it for you for $5.

I can buzz it anywhere between 1/16th inch to 1".

Man-Mur never gave me any trouble. If you're looking for something fancier, there's the place next to Player's Retreat. I know is named after two dudes but I am far too lazy to look it up.

10/1/2011 9:37:13 AM

groom room on hillsborough

10/2/2011 10:18:41 AM

Man-Mur fucked my shit up! Completely ignored what I asked for and just proceeded to give me a high and tide (or whatever that shit is called)

10/3/2011 1:35:24 AM

btt

I started going to Marigold Parlour in Seaboard Station. Amanda does a great job.

4/13/2014 6:58:18 PM

I've been going to Man-Mur for the last year or so. That dude in the first chair does a good job.

4/13/2014 8:35:57 PM

enjoyed my cut and a couple beers at arrow in cam village the other day

4/13/2014 8:49:43 PM

Just get a pair of Wahl clippers and do it yourself.
