I have been a customer of Craig and his friend since 2007, almost since he opened the QG and I can tell you that there isn't anything comparable for men anywhere close. You would have to likely drive to NYC and pay three times as much to get anything approaching similar value. Craig runs a seamless operations which always puts the customer first. He hires only the best and most competent folks to run his operation. What started as an idea and a little bit of dream is now the cornerstone of men's grooming, relaxation, and shopping in the geater Baltimore area. I don't know too many folks that could turn such an idea into reality so quickly in such a blue collar city.

Craig Martin's business, Quinntessential Gentleman, is a luxurious barbershop for gentlemen in downtown Baltimore. The atmosphere is relaxing, and the service is excellent. The experience of getting a shave and haircut there is truly a pleasure.
