Weekly Question & Answer Thread for week of Monday 02/02/15

Submissions to /r/boise which are questions should be posted in this thread.

Submissions which are questions outside of this thread may be removed. The intent is to combat trolling, two-stage spamming and to make /r/boise easier to use and better organized by giving Q&A threads their own space separate from linked content, i.e., news, events, history, photography and other self-posts.

Tips: If the top question is of no interest to you then tick the thread collapse button (the minus sign next to the upvote arrow) which will hide the comment and all its child comments. Try setting "sorted by" to "new" if you visit the thread daily.

Note: This thread will restart fresh every Monday morning. Old threads won't disappear. All reddit rules and sub redditquette guidelines still apply. Are you new, visiting or moving to Boise and have a question? Check out /r/boise/wiki first.

Has anyone been to the Beardsmith? I have a years worth of growth that's starting to get to be a little to much for me to manage. I'm considering going to the Beardsmith, but she has no reviews on yelp yet and I was wondering if anyone has had any experiences with her. Ive been to many salons over the years who interpret "trimming and shaping" top mean chop it all off and turn it into manicured stubble. Boise is a mecca for hirsute men, so if anyone has any experiences please let me know.

My husband just went there last week, loved it. The guy on State Street is great, too.

Does he have a pretty long beard?

Not long, just a couple inches. But his friend that recommended her has a long beard, halfway down his chest. Check out her Instagram for lots of before and after pictures.

Yes, and I highly recommend. Look for them in the upcoming February issue of Idaho Brew Magazine, too. And if you subscribe to the magazine, there may be something special in the February subscriber freebies for you (hint hint).

Using reddit's own search engine, searching for "beard" and constraining the search to /r/boise I found this:

Can anyone recommend a good place in Boise to have car windows tinted? My wife and I just bought a new car and because of the super hot summers here we want to get the windows tinted.

I used transguard on Cole just south of Costco. They did a great job. Still looking great after two years. They can also do clear bras and fix paint chips.
