I have been going to Hot Shaves for just over a year. I really hate to say this, because they were absolutely stellar when I first started, but the service, and the quality of cuts seems to have gone down dramatically.
For the price, which is not unreasonable, (not withstanding their most recent 25 percent price increase), I expected a cut which was superior to that I could experience in normal salons and barber shops. The past three cuts I, sadly, have not seen that. The service seems rushed. The instruments, especially the spider looking scalp massager is not sanitized between uses, and at least my barber, Karra, has not really seemed to care much. I got my last cut at a cut rate salon/barber chain and have to say it was equal to that which I have been receiving at Hot Shaves, though the shop was certainly not as nice or intimate.
I'm very disappointed not to be able to rave about Hot Shaves, because I really really preferred going there, but, with regret, I'm done.
