<p>Do they have good barber shops that can do fades and tapers etc. in santa cruz as I am black I cant get cut at any Salon</p>
<p>grow your natural hair! don’t give in to popular culture’s ethnic biases! :-)</p>
<p>Honest (ignorant) question: Why can’t you get your hair cut at any salon if you’re black?</p>
<p>LOL at this thread. Actually, I am interested in such a topic myself because I need to find a good barber who can cut my hair. It be tight if I could find someone in UCSC that can cut hair and charge like $5, someone in my dorms would be awesome.</p>
<p>I think he meant he gets a certain haircut that most barbers might not know how to do properly. </p>
<p>If you want something cheap, there’s a small place downtown that gives buzz cuts for 6.95 (place looks kinda old). Otherwise there’s Great Clips near Safeway on Mission St ($10) and also Super Cuts near CVS (downtown). If you want a cheap $5 haircut, you can usually find flyers at the bus stops or at the dorms by students who give haircuts in the bathrooms.</p>
<p>I’ve been getting my hair cut by friends and theatre costume/hair designers on campus for the last few years. </p>
<p>There’s that cheap place on Front, near Jamba Juice, and the beauty school downtown. Great Clips is on Mission next to Safeway, and Supercuts is on River in the shopping center with Ross/Cost Plus/Office Max/etc.</p>
<p>My boyfriend has been going to Great Clips exclusively for years now. Apparently no one else knows how to cut his (ethnic) hair besides them. They have a system where they put details on your haircut into a computer, and when you come back you can just ask for the same thing as last time. I think it’s weird, but it works for him.</p>
<p>So…they imprint your haircut into a computer? Damn that’s awesome.</p>
<p>Haha, it’s not that cool. When Kewkiekid said they put your details in the computer, it just means that if you want your haircut a certain way or style… Great Clips records that in their computer so you don’t have to remember what you like or not.</p>
