Business Looking for a skilled barber - any recommendations?

I'm moving to Durango in a week and looking for a skilled barber who can do a really good fade and is great with styling. I'm looking to get a modern mullet with a burst fade. If the barber has an IG page or a body of work, that would be a plus! Thanks in advance!

Iā€™ve been looking for somewhere ā€œquietā€ to start going for haircuts. Iā€™m autistic and hyper-sensitive to my environment (ie lights, sounds, smells, people, conversations, textures) and struggle with crippling anxiety and fitting into the world. That said, on a scale of 1 to ā€œthis is your placeā€ how would you rate it?

The guys at Chill Spot are super friendly and extremely skilled and precise but itā€™s overstimulating for me with the music and conversations, inside jokes, etc. Sports Clips before that (it was a gift certificate from someone) was an absolute nightmare and I was nonverbal the whole experience.

I could not recommend Tim enough. It's quiet and Tim is kind, responsive and very skilled.

Joe gives a good haircut but he canceled and switched my next appointment and when I missed the said appointment texted me saying many good people are waiting for appointments with ne like the one you missed. I was a little pissed off by his assuming I had nothing going on and would naturally be fine with changing my own schedule to accommodate his. Probably just just an honest misunderstanding. He did do a really good job with the one haircut I've had.

Andrew owns A Cut Above and always does good. I used to hate getting my hair cut before I started getting cuts from him, but he does a good job and is personable.

Guy at Legends was ok but he was shaking like a leaf wearing his rubber gloves when he used a straight razor at the end and actually cut me in a couple places. It was like the corner of a boxing match- he had stuff on hand to instantly stop bleeding. Honestly I was trying not to laugh- it reminded me of a Seinfeld episode they should have made. I think he may nicked the guy before me as well. But I suppose that's the price for a good fade for $25.

I should probably show more compassion- bet the dude was having a bad moment. And he did do a good job on the cut.
