Here’s just one of their many five-star reviews:

“We love the Cherokee Barber Shop! Dave is our favorite. My son and I have been going there for a while now. The shop is clean, tidy and free from funky smells. They are only open on certain days and do not allow appointments; however, we don’t usually have to wait long. Dave is patient, professional and consistent. He ensured my nervous son that getting a haircut can be fun and is not scary. The first few times we went, Dave spent almost an hour letting my son touch the clippers and the combs and get warmed up to the situation. They go the extra mile to get the job done. I highly recommend Dave and the others at Cherokee Barber Shop!” – Parker T.

A One-of-a-Kind Barber Shop’s Secret to a Strong Online Reputation

“We are a lot more fun than the other ones.”

Making the World a Better Place by Making People Look and Feel Good

We also wanted to know what their mission is at Cherokee Barber Shop and how they work to make the world a better place. Carol shared with us that their mission is simply to make people feel and look good. She added:

“If you look good, you feel good!”

“Stay in one place, and work hard. It’s not work if you love it.”

The first thing we wanted to know was what it is that makes The Rusty Razor Barber Shop stand apart from its competitors. John said:

John told us a bit about the Rusty Razor Barber Shop business mission:

“Our mission is to make our customers look and feel good about themselves. A smiling customer is a happy customer”

Building Success, Online And Off

The Rusty Razor Barber Shop has earned a fantastic reputation, so we asked John how they have managed to grow their business and get their name out. He said that they have been able to reach their community through social media, like Facebook and Instagram. Offline, having a location outside of a naval shipyard has been beneficial and has led to word of mouth and referrals amongst the nearby military community.

Pennsylvania’s Top Rated Local® Barber Shops Award Winner: Another Planet Barber Shop, LLC

Posted on by Robyn Rivera

Top Rated Local® is pleased to announce that Another Planet Barber Shop, LLC is a 2019 award winner for barber shops in Pennsylvania!

For a one-of-a-kind barber shop experience and an out-of-this-world haircut, there’s no better barber shop to turn to than Another Planet Barber Shop, LLC.

Another Planet Barber Shop, LLC has received more than 150 reviews with an average rating of 4.93 stars, earning them a phenomenal Rating Score™ of 97.30 and a 2019 Top Rated Local award for ranking among the top five barber shops in all of Pennsylvania!

Here’s just one of their many five-star reviews:

“I tried a few shops after relocating to Philly and experienced a struggle attempting to find someone who can work well with my hair type. I finally stumbled upon Another Planet and Sci-Fi, [and I had] the best experience in a shop I’ve had since I started wearing short cuts. She’s timely, efficient, welcoming and offers fair prices given the experience that one has in her shop.” – S.H.

Not Your Average Barber Shop

We wanted to learn all about Another Planet Barber Shop, LLC and its impressive online reputation, so we took a few minutes to talk with the owner, Jacqué “Sci-Fi” Scott.

The first question we had for Jacqué was what is it that sets Another Planet Barber Shop, LLC apart from their competition in Pennsylvania. Jacqué told us that Another Planet was opened in August of 2016 and that her barber name — “Sci-Fi” — originated from a car accident she had in 2014, where she was thrown 20 feet from her vehicle. She was in a coma for several days after the accident, and she said that the only reason she is still alive is by the grace of God and an angel who moved her out of the street before she was hit by a semi.

Jacqué shared with us that the vehicle left her with a traumatic brain injury that distorted her vision, making her see double, which she refers to as her “powers”:

“My brain was so swollen that all of the pressure on the nerves was making my eyes do crazy things. As the swelling went down, I finally got my vision crystal-clear from the front, but if I tilt my head or use the peripheral perspective, that’s when ‘Sci-Fi’ and my powers are revealed.”

Jacqué told us that her powers help her to look at cutting hair a little differently than others.

We also wanted to know what their mission is at Another Planet Barber Shop, LLC and how they work to make the world a better place. Jacqué told us that they put on a lot of cool events for their community, such as “Stars vs. Planets — a basketball tournament giving customers a chance to beat their barber — “Weekend Lift-Off” — which features a live DJ.

Jacqué went on to add:

“I’ve got a big heart, and I’ve got a lot that I want to do. I’m just so happy to be getting this recognition for simply doing what I love. I’m proud to be a demonstration of putting 10,000 hours into what you do, perfecting it and giving back.”

Building Success by Asking for Reviews

Jacqué attributes Another Planet Barber Shop, LLC’s strong online reputation to her commitment to asking for reviews:

“I do ask, like, ‘Hey, I know you loved your experience and loved the haircut, I would love for you to tell the world!’ But, yes, they are all genuine, every single one of them.”

Jacqué also shared a bit about her future plans:

“Next up, I have two major projects. I have Another Planet Academy, a school that I’m going to open up down here in Philly… With that, I’ll be able to train more barber teachers and more managers, along with cosmetology as well, and ultimately give students their license. There are so many people who are still working who don’t have their license, maybe because they can’t afford it. I’m going to be offering financial aid, so there aren’t any excuses for getting your correct credentials. I want to get them on a path to greatness, where we’re all really destined to be. It’s just a matter of taking those steps every day to get there. Then the second project is going to be my mobile barbershop. It’s Another Planet Barber Shuttle — ‘Bring the shop to you!’ It’ll be a mini replica of Another Planet Barbershop on wheels coming to you.”

There are so many business owners out there looking to build the kind of online reputation Another Planet Barber Shop, LLC has. Here’s Jacqué’s expert advice for them:

“If I could put five years in a summary, I would say faith and work is the formula. Without those two, it doesn’t matter what plan you have; it isn’t going to come to pass unless you give that plan to a higher power. To come off the cloud, believe in yourself and don’t wait for anyone. Make it happen yourself and give back abundantly. There is no stop — there may be a break, but there is no stop. Every day, we have the choice to get up. I always ask my clients, ‘What is it that your heart desires?’ The first thing you think about in the morning, that’s what you need to do every day, all day. Be the best at it, and do that with your heart and make sure that your heart is involved. If you believe in yourself, and believe in the Father, you’re going to get there. Nobody else can tell you otherwise if you relentlessly believe in yourself.”

Congratulations to the team at Another Planet Barber Shop, LLC for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and thank you so much, Jacqué, for taking the time to speak with us!

We highly recommend Another Planet Barber Shop, LLC in Philadelphia. Visit their website today!

[They have a] great atmosphere, rational prices and terrific service, so stop wasting time reading another glowing review on this place, and go check them out.” – Bo T.

Not Your Average Barber Shop

We wanted to learn more about this two-time award winner and how they managed to build such an impressive online reputation, so we took a few minutes to talk with DiDi Shilling, co-owner of DiDi & Smiling John’s Traditional Barber Shop & Salon.

The first thing we wanted to know was what makes DiDi & Smiling John’s Traditional Barber Shop & Salon a one-of-a-kind barber shop in Pennsylvania. Here’s what DiDi had to say:

“When my husband and I opened this place eight years ago, we just intended to create a space for people that didn’t have a space to be. We just wanted to create a home for people. We just wanted somewhere where people could be themselves, be happy and just be a positive light in our community. We just wanted to be a good place for people to spend time, network, fellowship and make friends. And, we’re really good at doing hair. But mostly, we never felt comfortable anywhere we worked, and we wanted to create a space where hairdressers and barbers could be successful and their clients could be happy. We just wanted a positive environment for people to work and be.”

We also asked DiDi what their mission is at DiDi & Smiling John’s Traditional Barber Shop & Salon and how they work to make the world a better place. Here’s her response:

“We are very dedicated to being inclusive. We are very dedicated to serving the underserved community in regards to people who are different for whatever reason, or people who feel different or look different…just people who don’t feel good where they are, we just want to make them feel good. We just want to make a place for everybody to just be together. My personal mission statement for business is,’In this building, everyone is different, but we are all equal. We celebrate our differences and find fellowship in our likenesses.’”

DiDi added:

“People try to make hairdressing and barbering this hoity-toity, uppity kind of a thing, but we really all have a servant’s hearts here. We just want to serve our clients and our community, and we just try to do what we can to be helpful. Whether it’s behind our chair or out in the community, people just know that they can count on us.”

Building Success by Being Nice

DiDi attributes DiDi & Smiling John’s Traditional Barber Shop & Salon’s strong online reputation to their commitment to always being nice:

“Just be nice. That’s my secret.”

DiDi went on to add:

“If you treat people well, they will treat you well in return. Our clients are very good. We’ve never really asked for reviews and things like that. They just do them.”

Outside of building a powerful online reputation, DiDi & Smiling John’s Traditional Barber Shop & Salon has gotten their name out there through word of mouth and by giving back to their community:

“We received a reward last year for our work with an autistic individual; we helped him socialize and find a little bit of a more comfortable place in the world. We are very grateful to have done that. We volunteered at a local rehabilitation clinic to give them haircuts to try to make them feel good, so that they could be good.”

Every business owner wants to build the kind of online reputation DiDi & Smiling John’s Traditional Barber Shop & Salon has. When we asked DiDi what advice she has for those business owners, she said:

“A strong, navigable website is number one. I find, honestly, that something that is very useful to me is being very transparent in our social media. We post our successes, our failures and our questions, and we allow our customers to be a part of what we do here. We give them options… When people see that you’re real and that you’re present, they respect that. So you just have to make sure that your online presence represents accurately when they come into your business.”

Congratulations to the team at DiDi & Smiling John’s Traditional Barber Shop & Salon for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and thank you so much, DiDi, for taking the time to speak with us!

We highly recommend DiDi & Smiling John’s Traditional Barber Shop & Salon in York. Visit their website today!
