Fan-freaking-tastic. Five stars just for the combination of "no appointment but it's okay" and their friendliness and quality.
I came from the States, and planned on being in Europe for two weeks. As such, brought my 120V clippers AND trimmer with me, PLUS both a 120V-240V adapter and converter. However, when I plugged them into my outlet in the Spanish wall, they made a higher pitched whirring noise than I was used to. Scared that I'd cut my face off, I decided to find a place in Madrid to get a beard trim.
There was only one other English yelp review at the time, but it was very accurate. I walked in, was greeted by Juan, who didn't have anyone in his chair. I speak half-way decent Spanish (Mexican Spanish at that), so he and I didn't have too much of a problem communicating. But, later he told me that another one of his coworkers is fluent in English, so if you don't speak Spanish, there should be someone there to whom you can explain what you need. Anyway, I wanted a beard trim, and he understood. I had no appointment, but I sat down immediately. He edged it up with his trimmer, then shaved with his clippers, then took a single blade razor and got all the details. I was quite impressed and quite happy. Took less than half an hour or so. Definitely will come back to them when I am in Madrid for more than a few days. Definitely recommend them to anyone. They can do beard trims for both Black and white men, by the way.
It's no Art of Shaving, but if you need a trim and are on vacation, this is the place to go.
