@Kelly BuckActually, I was there when your husband walked in, and Stan immediately asked him if he had an appointment. Then he politely explained he wasnt taking new clients because he was booked with his old guys. Im younger than Stan but I have been getting my haircut with Stan for over 25 years so I am one of the old guys. So no discrimination there, merely explaining his long term customers. I agree, if you are not an established customer, you will probably want to find a different barber.
Stan has been a barber in Coos Bay for almost 50 years. His business is very busy, so of course you need an appointment to get in. (Just like I have to when I need to get in to my hair stylist!) But, besides that, he has always been a by appointment barber.He seldom takes new clients because, 1. He is already too busy, and 2. He is slowing moving towards retiring.If you dont like great conversations that discuss both sides of a topic; then you should find a different barber to cut your hair. We have always had great conversations when we have been in his shop. Its one of our favorite things about going in.We love Blackwells Barber Shop and I will continue to bring my boys into him!!
Don’t waste you time even calling to make an appointment. If your not a current client. Might as well be a club that says friends only.
My husband went to get a haircut from Stan Blackwell today and sat in the chair for 10 minutes waiting to get his haircut. Stan finished with his other client and told my husband he only cuts old men’s hair and it’s not excepting any new clients. Isn’t this age discrimination? And why didn’t you tell my husband this when you first saw him walk in the door ? he knows you saw him you should be shut down !! Don’t ever go to Stan at Blackwell’s for a haircut.He doesn’t deserve your business.
Ive gone to Stan to have my hair cut for years, great guy and good environment
Make sure you have an appointment before you waste your time and go to the shop. I went here after looking at good reviews on Yelp and found the owner refuse service because I wasnt an existing customer. Totally wasted my time.
Jack the Asura- when you called I was caught off guard because women never call me for a haircut, and I was busy with another client at the time. I referred you to other businesses who could assist you. If you still need a haircut, I would be happy to give it a try. Feel free to call me to schedule an appointment.
Stan is the most talented and experienced barber in the county. 50+ years as a barber speaks for itself. Been seeing Stan since I was a toddler. Wont go anywhere else!
Id give him zero stars if I could. Refused to give me a haircut simply because he doesnt take female clients even after I told him I have a male haircut. I felt inadequate as he basically refused service simply because of my gender!!! Unbelievable.
Stan is great and takes the time like an old school barbershop. Call ahead though. His baseball memorabilia is like walking into a museum
Best haircuts in town for men. Able to cut a variety of hair, doesnt cut too short and pays a lot of attention to detail. Nice environment.
Stan has always taken care of me when I come in..great guy and great service..make an appointment people
Stan is a traditional mens barber - he doesnt pretend to be anything other than that. His shop is comfortable, with car and motorcycle gewgaws for decorations. (He even uses a rollaway tool chest to store his supplies.)He does a great job of cutting your hair exactly how you ask him to, and will trim facial hair on request. (I DONT know if he does shaves, though.) His prices are competitive with the chop shops like Supercuts, and you get a much better haircut and a free update on local events in the bargain.The only negative is that he requires reservations.
Good guy. Straightforward barber. Make an appointment makes it easier.
Good barber, gave me a clean haircut! Very clean and asteticaly pleasing! Definitely going back
Decent cuts but terrible service. The owner is often very negative, EXTREMELY political, and gets aggressive/agitated with clients.Perfect fit for extreme right conservatives. No place for moderates.
I called and he doesn’t take new customers. Does he not like money?
Worth more than he charges.
Very clean cut, highly recommended, I will definately be going back.
Stan makes everyone look good...
I walked in today at 12:20 and the guy said he doesnt want any new clients..... Got a strange vibe off the guy
Nice cuts and shaves.
The website ought to say by appointment only.......from Arizona, looking for a haircut, first no parking space, second rude first contact, a lot of loitering in this very small shop!!
Called this place and he said that he did not take new customers. Stay away from this place
Best place in the county
No longer taking new clients
Turned me away because I didnt have an appointment, in New to town and just wanted a new look for my new start thanks buddy
Stans the man
Best barber ever
Stan is THE MAN!
Stan is the man
