Thanks for not updating your website and having me come all the way out to Tempe based on your reviews... A cut above barbershop is no longer at this location. It's now a barbershop called Instahair. I can't even tell if the Barbershop has moved to a different location because no one picks up the phone. I'm assuming they're no longer in business. read more

This place is amazing. The cut was fast and the staff was friendly. The guys knew exactly the cut I needed and helped out right away.

Being from the Northeastern tri-state, I must admit that I'm extremely particularly about my haircut. I gave H @ Cut Above a try and he did not disappoint. He took his time with my haircut and checked periodically to make sure things were progressing to my liking. I got a tapered cut with razor edge up and shave. I recommend checking him out. read more

Go here! These guys know what they're doing! I met this guy waiting in line for the bathroom at a nightclub, and he had a pretty fresh haircut, so I asked him where he got it. He said university and 9th, 15 bucks! Turns out it's a very popular destination with the college students! My man had been cutting hair since he was 14 years old! read more

A Cut Above Barber Shop - Barbers Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

I went here when traveling from California to Texas. Arizona is ridiculously hot and for some reason my brain told me I'd be able to make that trip through the desert with a wave cap,sunscreen, and prayer. WRONG. I went to social media asking a bunch of friends where to get cut. One friend stood out as his hair is always on point. After leaving the gentrified area and finding Roosevelt's didn't have time to give me a low even I darted here. Traffic was rough and I thought I wasn't going to make it and Josh took me in. I asked him to clean me up and expected to be out in maybe 10-15 minutes. Thinking the cut was done I almost got up. That man spent like a good half hour shaving me, lining me, going back to clean off the little stray top hairs, even out and primping me. In Sacramento a cut costs maybe 25-35 dollars and they barely look at you or give much thought to your cut unless you really ask for it and tip a lot. This dude did God's work on my head. It's been like 3.5 months since I had that haircut and I still have flashbacks. It's almost to the point I want to tell other barber's about it or get a rental in Phoenix just to have him cut me. I think he charged me 20 dollars and I felt so good after that haircut I gave him 40 or 45. I can't remember because my head was that hot! At any rate, this man is amazing and just takes a sh*t on other barbers. It's really that simple. Go to A Cut Above. Ask for Josh. Tip him well so he can keep cutting like that and still have really nice shoes. Well worth it. read more

I'm black and i spent forever looking for a good barbershop out here. My boy josh got the cleanest cuts in AZ. His fades are on point and he makes sure your line up is clean with a straight razor. read more

Took my two year old for a cut. We got right in with Boise. Boise was super patient with my squirmy son. Usually getting my sons hair cut seems like it takes an eternity, but Boise went with the flow of the squirms and we were in and out in about 20 mins, on top of that, my sons hair looks great and Boise even took the time to style his hair. 100% will come back. Thanks Boise!!! read more

Best haircut I've ever gotten. Ask for the owner to cut your hair. Have a great day y'all

Great service. First time here. Close to my house in tempe and found them on Yelp with good reviews so gave them a shot. Was very happy with the hair cut. Will definitely come back read more

Never coming here again after this experience! I drive 15 mins to get here knowing they close at 6pm I show up at 530pm and they're telling me his closed? After letting the barber know I drove 15 mins to get here knowing they close at 6pm I figured I had plenty of time to get a quick trim.. All he said was "Well Sorry" Why is your door open and showing hours till 6pm? Ya.. Not coming here again no customer service what so ever! read more

A Cut Above Barber Shop - A cut above entrance - Barbers Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

Noor is a pro! They are apparently under new ownership and it was my first time there. Gave me an awesome fade. Definitely worth a visit.

My husband came here for a cut and the two barbers inside didn't say one word to him or even me. My husband is from Africa and these two barbers were black, but they shared sideways glances at each other any time my husband spoke. I assume this was because of his accent or even his way of responding in general? And then when he was a bit bothered that the barber took the liberty to fade his neck without asking, the guy cutting his hair looked at the other barber like my husband was a total idiot. I don't know what their deals were but they were super unfriendly and seemed to judge us both for unknown reasons. We will not be back. read more

I go into the barber and the wait for someone's hair to be finished, which happens to be an additional hour. I'm next and tell the guy what I want done to my hair. I told him I wanted the sides of my hair to be straight and not rounded off. Any barber knows what rounding off the sides mean in a fade and I made it perfectly clear that was not what I wanted. I'm in the chair for a good 45 minutes and so much time and effort is given into my cut. The guy immediately places gel into top of my hair without asking and come to find out he is using the gel to help guide him through the rest of the hair cut. The guy finishes my hair and spikes my hair in the middle of my head, which result in a fohawk/mohawk! The price for the haircut was $15 and they did not have any change so out of decency i ended up leaving him a $20, which was a $5 tip. If you are the type of person who describes to your barber how you want your hair to look, maybe this place is not for you. I am very displeased, feel very embarrassed, and may have to get it fixed or wear a bag over my head! Oh, I also drove around on Priest and University looking for the damn place because yelp guides you to a false location. read more

Best quality cut I've ever had. Period. I live in Tucson and I still drive all the way up here for my haircut. H (The owner) has a steady hand and really takes his time, you really feel like it's a special experience. The cut is professional and H is very courteous. When he used to work in Tucson I had a custom design in the side of my head and he executed it flawlessly nothing is too much for him to handle. I have had short cuts, mohawks, and now long parted hair so I know he is good with all styles. He is also good at edging up and lining up my beard. There's nothing like that fresh shot of confidence when you go into a weekend with the perfect haircut, and he has delivered without fail for seven years for me. The only negative is that there can be a bit of a wait in the afternoons and weekend. I have never been here for a shave, nor do I know if it is offered. read more

Checked this place out for the first time today with my 4-year-old. My boy went first and H did an awesome job. VERY friendly and GREAT with kids. I got my cut right after and also received a PERFECT cut by H. Hands down best barber in the valley that I've experienced. He knows what he's doing! We will DEFINITELY be coming back! read more

This guy knows what he's doing. Excellent haircut and conversation. The place might not look like much by "some people's" standards. Let those people get their hair cut by someone else. H, as he is known by, can cut my hair any time. By the looks of the number of customers showing up right after me, the only problem you might have is getting in the door on a busy afternoon. Keep up the good work H, and thanks for the great haircut. read more

A Cut Above Barber Shop - Storefront - Barbers Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

I love this place. H is a super friendly person. He knows what he's doing and takes pride in his work. The wait/ service can be a bit lengthy but the cut is worth the time. His suggestions and opinion is very good. This is favorite barber shop in Tempe. read more

This place is great. I went from paying $25 dollars a cut back in Cali, to paying $15 dollars a cut, and getting a better cut then i ever did back home. He's very consistent, talented, and its evident after talking to him that customer satisfaction is a big deal to him. This is my new my new permanent place. read more

i've been going to elite for a while but decided i needed a new shop after too many mistakes and some casual racism from one of their barbers that came out during some military story. this place on the other hand is legit and H was cool. the shop is painted orange which looks sick. secondly, i'm pretty quiet so i like that the barbers have ongoing bantz while i'm waiting + getting cut. the barbers all seemed friendly and H didn't give me any weird looks or uncomfortable questions even though my hair is really long on top + it's obvious i haven't had a cut in months and i was shaggy af. cut felt + looked nice and he asked questions to make sure he knew what i meant but was relaxed when i didn't have preferences. thx, i'll be back. read more

Barber was very arrogant. Failed to cut three different hairs at the bottom of my fade so I just had three long hairs when it was supposed to be a skin fade. Overpriced for the quality of service. read more

I've gone to so many barbershops before and honestly these guys are the best. I won't go anywhere else anymore. You got me for life.

Do not go to the guy in the first chair..... he butchered me a couple weeks ago And my hair still hasn't recovered fully. Thank god we are in quarantine, so nobody has to see this mess. The guy in the first chair needs to find other work... and quickly. And to top it all off he's rude. He spent only 11 minutes cutting my hair.... I counted. read more

Absolutely love this barber shop I have been coming here for over four years now and never go anywhere else! Cut is always perfect, lines on point, and beard fade is bananas! Only down side it's walk in only and you can't make appointments and sometimes you have to wait for a little bit! read more

Visiting Arizona so I needed a cut. Went to the guy in the first chair and he completely butchered my cut. Asked for a simple mid fade and he gives me the most unaesthetic fade I've ever received while simultaneously F'ing up my front edge. Sides are completely uneven. Probably did a terrible job because he didn't care and was listing bf to his headphones the whole time. Also didn't say a word besides asking what I "wanted". Will never pull up here ever again and will never recommend this establishment. Avoid it at all cost. I'll be back to my real barber next week when I'm home so he can give me a fire cut. 0/5 stars. read more

This is a cool barbershop. When you're having a boy Josh hook me up. If you looking for a barber shop to do nice work, in a cool atmosphere come here. Either Josh or the owner will hook you up. read more

Stopped in here today for a quick cut. After reading many other yelp reviews (all 5 stars) I figured I would give it a try. Got exactly what I asked for and for a great price too! Will definitely be going here from now on. read more

Found this place on yelp, went for a cut. He did a great job. The owner is really nice and makes you feel welcomed. He knows what he's doing too. I found my new spot! read more

I can't say whether or not they are great at cutting hair, my guess based on the other reviews is yes. I walked in and there were two guys cutting. There were 4 people waiting. I felt uncomfortable because I received no acknowledgment other than brief eye contact. I don't mind waiting, but I had to ask for them to even give me an approximation. A friendly hello would go a long way. I may try them again, unless I find something I like the first time. read more

Just moved to the neighborhood and popped in. Showed Boise (my new barber) a pic of what I wanted. He nailed it, can't wait to go back. He's a surgeon with clippers and sheers. read more

"H" is the best! He always takes his time and does a great job with my son's hair! Highly recommend!

Moved here from Tucson 10 years ago and I finally found my barbershop. This man knows what he's doing. I have seen him cut every type of hair there is. Everyone leaves with a smile on their face and I will be a returning customer. read more

They take their time with each and every hair cut. I've been to multiple barber shops in the Tempe/Mesa area and this is by far the best experience I've had. Both barbers do an amazing job, highly recommended!! read more

Best haircut I have had in awhile. Been to six or seven different barbers since I moved to Tempe and none of them cut my hair very well till I came here. read more

They go hard here. I've gotten the best cut of my life here. I live in flagstaff but wait to get back to the valley to get cut up here. Owner a dope guy. read more

Just received a fresh taper fade from Josh at A Cut Above Barbershop. Great customer service, affordable pricing and a very clean cut. Arrived around 9:30/10am and didn't have to wait long at all. I will definitely be returning whenever I am in the Tempe area. Highly recommend to others looking for that detail razor edge cut. read more

First and probably last barbershop I have been to in Arizona. Amazing work done on both my son and husband. A little bit of a wait, but totally worth it. Great fade work! read more

These guys really take their time and get your cut right. Bonus points for the Stankonia era Outkast and Snoop posters. 5 stars
