See, like, this all really intrigues me, especially since the store is so near where I live, I need a new barber, and Brick's seems like a happy, awesome, very "Portland" medium between the oft hipper-than-thou Bishop's and Rudy's and the chain shops like Supercuts, but that whole "this review was literally bought" thing makes one question the definite positive slant.
The only thing you should be worried about is tearing the excess follicle build up on your forehead....It makes you appear as if your thinking too hard. Its a haircut. Cant wait to see you.
This review couldn't be anymore accurate, purchased or not! At Brick's Barber you won't walk away bored, thirsty or hating with your hair (as I so often do after a new haircut).
As far as haircuts go, Eric is amazing! You walk out looking the best you ever did, not with that awkward new haircut look, but styled and relaxed. If you are a regular waxer, you'll quickly see that Eric is a great sculpter and a smooth puller!
As far as personality goes, even if this is your first visit you'll feel like best friends with your barber. On my first visit I was offered a bite of Eric's dinner, a beer and truly endless conversation. Upon returning he always remembers me and what we've talked about before. If you are looking for a relaxing spa-like atmosphere, you might not get it, but you will get your share of entertainment.
If your the type to go to Bishops and get some whatever stylist who doesn't know you and doesn't care, then you have nothing to lose by heading a couple of minutes of your way to Brick's Barber.
This place truly rocks! It didn't need a Portland icon like the Octopus to make it a place in Portland you can't afford NOT to try! The cool folks (thanks Chelsea for the great cut), the PBR, and the strangely nice first-time brow wax were enough to keep me coming back and spreading the word.
I've been going to Brick's since just after it opened (and just went today, as a matter of fact!). Eric does a great job on my rather boring and military-like haircut, and truly makes me feel like a valued customer. Although I'm not a huge fan of the waxing, it does make my eyebrows look better...especially the older I get. :)
I personally think that his shop is totally out of place in SW Portland, which is why I appreciate it so much. We get very little hip or cool in our neck of the woods.
I used to go to Supercuts on Capital Hwy, or the little barbershop there in front of Barbur World Foods...both totally suck balls in comparison to Brick's.

Who did your video again?? I want them for my next hit!!!!
It's not an octopus anymore huh?!?! It's a COCKTAPUS...
Please do not wax your moustache. It is the ONLY Portland facial hair (besides the random devil hairs on my chin) that I find "adorable." That is all.
Kind thanks - AF
