Albert is efficient, courteous and does a great haircut for a fair price. Shop is clean and looks like an old time barber shop

Barberie is precisely what a great local barbershop should be--clean, efficient, and welcoming. This father-son duo runs the shop with professionalism and care, creating an atmosphere that's bright, tidy, and never over the top. The $20 price for my buzz cut is very fair, and I always appreciate how quickly I can get in and out. They also add thoughtful touches, like offering drinks and coffee, which makes the experience even better. Barberie maintains great business hours, and while it's a popular spot, I've never had to wait long. Having a traditional barbershop nearby that focuses on quality and value without unnecessary frills is refreshing. I plan to keep coming back as long as I'm in Philly! read more

This is a fair review considering my experience. Outside and in it looks like your typical barber shop. Was greeted by a gentlemen at the register who also gave a nice hair wash prior to the cut. There was one other man getting his hair cut my the older gentleman and no one waiting after me, and he was the only barber doing cuts. The guy before me looks like he got a nice cut. When I got in the chair, 3 guys walked in after me and since it's walk ins only it's first come first serve. Normally I figured that'd be at least an hour+ wait, however from the get go I realized this was going to be a rushed cut, which it was. Asked for a low fade blended up the sides and to cleanup the top; immediately started with a high line with the buzzer and used the foil shaver right after... tried to blend it into a low fade but looked like a cliff down to the skin, not to mention a 90 degree angle behind the ear. Sides were also uneven. All in all, I was in the chair for less than ten minutes before he told me it's done... tried to make some corrections, however I just gave up, said it was fine, paid and left. Immediately went down the street to another barber and asked if he could salvage it. He was able to mostly, although we had to bring it up to a mid/high fade, and also aside from the high zero 90 degree angle above both ears... just going to have to let that grow out a bit to get a proper fade. This barber had said I was the second person that day that came in to get their cut corrected after the initial cut at Barberie. Probably a decent place when it's not busy and the barber takes his time. I apologize I did not take pictures, was pretty embarrassed and immediately went to the other barber. read more

The best barber ever...Albert is a magician! Quiet and focused on the task at hand! Location is clean and organized. Wash and cut are quick but not rushed. read more

3 years later and I am extremely thankful I walked into Barberie on a Saturday afternoon! Al is thorough and ensures you receive a fresh cut each and every time you walk in the door. Highly recommend for anyone considering a haircut in the Rittenhouse area! The vibe is peaceful and nice. read more

I am a simple man. In an ocean of 55-80$ haircuts around me, this one place offered a much more modest price. I don't need a complicated cut. I walked in, waited a little bit, and when it came to be my turn, I asked "can you do #5 on the side and the back" and he replied with "so you want a haircut". I never thought of it that way, but my god he was right that is what I wanted. And cut my hair he did. In a matter of like 10 minutes it was done. My hair looked great, I felt great, and he didn't speak to me the entire time. I think more places where you can just sit down and get your hair cut and leave is very much needed in Philly. Not every barber has to be your bestie by the end of it, and I appreciate that (I think his name was) Albert did just that. I really liked how my hair looked at the end of it. 5 stars for me personally. Bring cash apparently they prefer that, I didn't know and felt bad. read more

Small, friendly shop with complimentary beverages. Great cuts, exactly what you want. Superior attention to small details that matter. Can be busy, but smart about managing the queue (e.g. by getting your hair washed & dried ) so that Albert ( barber & proprietor) can focus on the cut. read more

Really inconsistent spot. Owner a grouch. If the female barber is there it is great. If not, good luck!

I read the excellent reviews and they sounded too good to be true. A bit skeptical, but with my hair growing longer with each passing minute, I decided to arrive at the 9:00 AM opening. I was just passing through Philly and needed a haircut. What a great experience! A young lady graciously welcomed me into the shop, washed my hair (no kidding), and proceeded to give me a meticulous haircut exactly to my liking. She made frequent use of the hair dryer not only to sculpt but to keep those "little tiny hairs" from going down my back. All this for $30. I did leave a nice tip. I reside in Providence and rarely visit Philly. Now I am actively considering riding Amtrak on a monthly basis. This place is a gem. Press on. read more

First time here, highly recommend. I'll definitely be back. Freshest cut on the block. read more

Very fast and did a great job. Showed me some example pictures prior to the cut to verify I got what I wanted. Will definitely return

Albert is an excellent barber, very well schooled in the craft, and does an affordable and fast haircut. Probably the sharpest scissors I have ever experienced in my life. And he uses them with great skill. As other Yelpers have noted, he has a very good eye for detail. Will definitely be back. My original review, pre-COVID, said "Walk-in, no appointments." That of course has changed, and you can now make appointments in advance via the website. I've been back during COVID, and Albert is observing the safety guidelines as you'd expect. Still 5 stars. read more

Very skilled barber that will fix all the other barber's messes. I get in/out very quickly. I'm there for a haircut and that's it, and it's perfect every time. Try it out! You'll see. read more

I am a terrible explainer and get nervous around new barbers, but he still gave me exactly what I wanted despite the lack of description. He seems like he cares about getting his clients right and giving them a cut they are happy with. Well done to him. Just come to him knowing how to explain your haircut. read more

Excited when I found the place - needed a haircut urgently and very much so. Hair was ridiculously overgrown. Owner took 5 minutes to trim my hair. I guess he cleaned up around my ears so that's something. Otherwise left in the same condition I entered minus $30 with a 20% tip. Maybe he was having an off day or just didn't like me, no idea. read more

Excellent service. Just walked in and was seated right away with a shampoo and a very pleasant haircut by Alberto. Will definitely find the funds in my budget to support the enterprise, as I was paying less for less service, at my prior establishment. read more

I have curly hair and barbers usually find it difficult, but this man didn't just listen. He got what I wanted right on the dot. Also priced affordable and was also very efficient and fast. Great place to go read more

Strangest, best haircut of my life. They have an interesting method: come in, check in, someone washes your hair, wait in the chair, then haircut. The owner is a master barber and his skills are unmatched. It's not a place for small talk however so definitely not your typical barbershop. Doesn't bother me, but if you are looking for a place to chat up the barber, don't bother. read more

Great haircut, reasonable prices. comfortable environment, friendly staff. Best barbershop I've found in rittenhouse

Not a lot of talk, just a great haircut every time. Albert is efficient, quick and a true master of his craft. Great to have him in the neighborhood! read more

Giving one star because I got a botched hair cut from this shop. Uneven sides and the barber cut the hair line above the ear much too high. Won't be back. read more

Reviewing during Covid, excellent precautions and the place is very clean. Albert was surprised my hair was only as long as it was for my first haircut since quarantine began. The haircut was excellent looked exactly as I asked for, and he gave helpful tips along the way and accommodated modifications mid cut. Not as conversational of a barbershop experience as I've had in the past however, he's a master of his craft and artisans work in silence I guess. He's very much an old school barber and not a fad based trend seeker. I'll most likely return. Thanks for the cut and professional operating procedures. read more

Skilled and efficient barber. Did a great job. Not the most talkative guy, but I actually prefer that. Just a no-nonsense guy who is good at what he does. read more

Best barber in Philly and I've tried many. I walked in at 5:30pm Albert was fast, professional, offered LEGITIMATE ADVICE on cut and delivered 100% I got a great, fresh cut for way less than the average price around here. Hesitant to review to keep it low profile but want to reward the great service. read more

Music was weird. Awkward silence, but the best $30 hair cut you could find anywhere. He did exactly what I wanted and was very polite.

The haircuts I've gotten from Barberie are okay. But the owner can show a lack of respect for his customers. I went in for a haircut recently and politely asked if he would wear a mask during our haircut. He told me that yes, he would mind and he would not wear a mask. I've come in for monthly haircuts since 2019 and when he asked me to wear a mask earlier in the pandemic, I readily agreed out of respect for his health and the health of his other customers. It's unfortunate that he does not show the same respect for his loyal customers. read more

Fast, affordable and friendly environment. Albert was great and took time to do the cut. Has coffee and beer available. Great location. read more

Walk-in only barbershop. Come in and someone immediately washes your hair. You sit back down and whenever a barber is available they'll cut your hair. A quick and efficient haircut at a great price. Would 100% recommend if you're in need of a haircut. Will be coming back again. read more

I've gotten haircuts in many different cities with tons of different barbers, and this was the first time a barber was able to point out specifics about my head and hair and recommend something that will flatter accordingly. These guys are supposed to be the experts, that's why you pay them to get a cut. You don't go into a surgery telling a surgeon how to do his job, and this is the same concept. You can tell Al is a professional who takes his craft very seriously. Will definitely be coming back. read more

Excellent experience overall. COVID precautions are being taken, and the haircut looks great. Very reasonable price at $27 for a standard men's cut, and you can book online. read more

3.5 As far as fades go on thick hair, mediocre and rushed. Worth giving a try for other hair styles

That was the worst haircut I've ever received in my life. When I tried telling the barber I didn't like my haircut he tried raising the price for the haircut. The service was rude and inconsiderate. I do not recommend going here AT ALL! read more

Just got back from my second consecutive haircut from Albert at the Barberie. Professional, covid friendly, and an excellent cut. Highly recommend! read more

Was looking for a good barber in center city so thought I'd try this place out. There was no one there when I went, had to awkwardly stand there and wait for the owner to come out of the back. Then he proceeded to be very short with me and didn't care what I wanted to do with MY hair. I tried to tell him to give me a hard part, he said he wouldn't because he didn't think "it would look good with the cut". He didn't put any work into my cut, even though I was the only one in there. He took less than five minutes to do a combover fade. Wouldn't recommend and won't be coming back again. read more

Great old fashion haircut, good quality and to the point! Would definitely make it a point to go again!

My friend recommended this place and so I gave it a try. Unfortunately Albert did a terrible job. He left patches of hair uncut on the top and the sides were not even. I could tell he was taking a couple short cuts when cutting the hair. I went back to my usual barber who is in another city. He pointed out at least 3-4 things Albert did a poor job on. This is also because Albert really cares about going quick at under 30 minutes, so any longer hair or styled cuts I would not trust him with. If you have short hair or a regular buzz cut, then he should be fine. Forgot to mention: he didn't listen to anything I said and just said "trust me, I know what to do." read more

My dad and I were heart set on getting haircuts for my brothers wedding. The place we usually go closes at 4 and we got there a few minutes too late so they didn't take us. On a whim, I checked Yelp for other places nearby with good reviews. This was the only place that had 5 star reviews. I called to make sure they were open, and to see if we needed appointments - we did not, I believe it is walk-ins only. We chatted a bit then got straight to it. The barber who took care of us provided us with excellent service. He is very precise, knew what would look the best, and provided us with optimal haircuts. The facility is nice, clean, well lit, and comfortable. I would definitely come back here, and probably will the next time I am in need of a haircut in the city. 5/5 read more

Fantastic and very experienced barber on par with the best in center city. Has an eye for a very even and symmetric haircut - so you can just relax and let him do his craft. Have been recommending to all my friends living in Rittenhouse area. read more

Awesome! Albert is really great at what he does. Fast, affordable, and attentive to detail. Have gotten my hair cut which turned out great on his advice and go regularly for a beard trim. Highly recommend. read more
