Apparently you have not seen me when I get my hair cut.
It's also 30 min a week for the yut-yut types. I'm cheap and Suzie @ the Whiting BOQ is pretty good even if the NEX doesn't permit any sort of razor fade.
I found a great barber back home that does a straight razor fade (five flags used disposables, IIRC), not that it does me a whole lot of good.
Interrogative: any Filipino barbers left around the system .. ???
They were/are THE BEST ... from a skill level, from a customer service level, and from an attitude standpoint ...
Yesteryear -- in SUBIC/CUBI ... plan on a hour for a haircut/shave ... ABSOLUTELY da' best experience you could have and not worry about a UCMJ violation !!!
Today -- if you can hook up w/ the Filipino guy @ the NEX barber shop ... while it might not be an hour of pure pleasure like it used to be, you'll still get a better haircut from him than from the rest of the folks ...
Personal experience ... my $20 worth ...

Yeah, I liked that guy at the main NEX barbershop. I dreaded every time I got that 50+, rail-thin, meth woman... she would spend 30 minutes talking while cutting my hair, and every time she talked, she stopped cutting. Frustrating.
I'd definitely have to give props to Suzie. I started going to her regularly when the hours for Johns wasn't convenient for me. It sucks that she's the only one in that shop, but its a little known gem and there are hardly more than 2 people in there at any one time.
Five Flags. Never got a bad cut while I was there, and the hot lather/razor cut kept me from having to go back every week.
Suzie in the Whiting BOQ. Good cut, good price, head and shoulder massage, and you can go grab a beer next door afterwards.
Haircut Location.
On a serious note, there is a barber shop 1/2 a block past Five Flags named "AHMAD" barber shop. Everyone there gives outstanding fades, not like the Chili-bowls you will receive at Five Flags. You will pay more, but your cut will be smooth! On Navy Blvd.

+1, I'm surprised nobody mentioned this until now. Her, and the red headed girl at the Corpus NEX were my standard stops while I was in API and primary.
