Good Shave in SF SOMA or Financial District?
Any monkeys familiar with SF SOMA or the Financial District aware of any good, reasonably priced places to get lined up? I usually go to Spargo or Ahmet's for my haircuts. Ahmet's does a good job but they charge $40 which is the same price as a haircut.. too steep for me. Just to clarify... I'm not...

Boutique firms - What are the hours like and how is pay?
Few Q's on Boutique firms. How hard is it to get into such a firm, what are the hours like and what is the pay like?
