The first thing I want to note is that House of Aanuko is a beautiful barbershop. From the chairs, mirrors, and wallpaper; it all looks great. It was super spacious and it gave off really warm energy, which is always nice.
To my experience:
Arielle was my stylist when I come in. I was running a little late and she was really chill about it. And I really appreciated that. When I first walked through the doors, I was greeted and offered a drink by Arielle. Then she guided me to her chair and we started talking about what I wanted. She listened and gave some helpful advice about my hair. Whenever I visit a new barbershop, I tend to be anxious about the end result, but not this around. Arielle listened to what I said and what I wanted and, did her best to make it happen. Throughout the cut, we talked about random things about life, and she made me feel relaxed and less anxious. So I got my hair cut, washed, and styled. In the end, I really like my haircut, simple as that.
When I was getting my hair cut, I saw a person that looked familiar; it was Joe from Blumaan. I had no idea he was one of the owners. I learned to style my hair from watching his videos on Youtube, so I was bewildered when I saw him there. After my cut, I got to meet Joe and David (one of the other owners, I believe) and they were super friendly and chill.
Overall, the aesthetic and atmosphere at House of Aanuko are great. Arielle is super talented, skillful, easy to talk to, and overall a great person. I will come back and get a haircut from her again. Everyone I met that day was cool. My first experience at House of Aanuko was great.
