    My husband wanted to try a new place and he remembered going as a child here. We went back and he got a haircut and beard trim. It looks amazing on him! Great conversations and definitely will be back!

    We stopped in this morning randomly to see if they had an opening to get a quick back to school haircut, and I have to say, I am impressed! Cowboy Mel's has been a household name for many people near Anoka, including my own growing up, and it is just as good as it was back then. Not only a wonderful haircut at an affordable price, but the history of the shop is still there too. We enjoyed stepping back in time when we walked in, and enjoyed walking out knowing we got a great haircut at a great price. Thanks again Mark, you did wonderful! *A sidenote, they do not accept cards, so bring cash.... and don't forget to bring enough to tip your barber too. A simple, historic barbershop with lots of character and wonderful barbers! Would I go back? Absolutely, and we plan to!
