Leave it to Desmond Romeo, proprietor of local fan favorite Dr. Cuts, to shake things up a bit. As Q readers know, I really like Dr. Cuts and have given Desmond the gig to trim my delicate locks and found he had no problem navigating my "straight hair," as it's sometimes referred to in the biz, "straight hair" referring to both curly and actually straight hair typical of European heritage.

I think it's part of a deal for the two to learn more about the others' style of hair styling, but you can get a $20 cut as a walk-in. I'm endlessly fascinated by the hair industry in our neighborhood, and I once again encourage all who share my curiosity to check out the awesome Chris Rock documentary "

Will Tim be cutting ladies hair too? Or is this a mens-only gig?
Also, what time do they close? 6pm on....to what?

Seriously, around here I have what's known as "white people hair," as in, "We don't do white people hair." So I am obliged to go out of the neighborhood to get my hair done.
