Just as loose peas beneath a mattress will disrupt a prince's spinal alignment, a grilled-cheese sandwich cannot rest soundly atop a haphazard hairdo. Create a controlled mane with today's Groupon: for $9, you get one men's haircut at City Barbers (an $18 value). This Groupon is good at your choice of the Uptown location (located in the Ivey's building) or the Highland Creek location (located in the Lowes Foods Shopping Center).

City Barbers' friendly staff at Uptown and Highland Creek specializes in the shearing, shaving, and four-part harmony expected of an authentic, old-time haircuttery, while using technology and sports to lure the most modern of men. Each workstation is equipped with its own flat-screen TV and comfortable black-leather chair, making it easy for clients to imagine what it'd be like getting a professional-quality haircut at home. The haircut will be performed by a skilled pair of scissors wielded by a skilled hand, then topped off with a complimentary straight-razor neck shave that will leave your skin feeling as smooth as a well-oiled fire truck.

Although both locations offer services for females, City Barbers takes pride in having mastered the more asymmetrical aesthetic of XY chromosomes, so this Groupon is only good for men 15 years or older or uncles 15 years or older. City Barbers is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. at both locations, Saturday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Highland Creek and closed at Uptown, and closed on Sundays at both locations. It is recommended to call ahead to make an appointment, but walk-ins are also welcome.

Reviews

Four Yelpers give the City Barbers Uptown location a perfect five-star rating:

• The chairs are big and comfortable and each station has its own mini-flat screen TV for you viewing pleasure. It is a traditional barber shop with a revamped look and the same great service and conversation you have come to expect. – Mike P.
