Clean, standard interior. Staff were friendly and efficient, haircut was ok. One thing that bothered me a bit more than anything else was that a fresh blade was not used when cleaning up around the edges and my neck. Pricing was good, and while I personally feel that this is what standard pricing for haircuts should be, I also recognize that most places are significantly pricier so I appreciate this reasonable pricing. I also appreciate that they allow for walk ins and same day scheduling. read more

Always a consistent result, reminds me of when I would go to the barber shop with my grandpa and he would sit and talk sports and world events with the guys. read more

I agree with some previous posts that this is far from a classic barber shop and I didn't know I would be getting a haircut by an Asian lady. Although she is nice and I'm not racist in any way, I didn't fully understand her. When asked about how I normally have my hair cut, she proceeded to give me a "scalp" with very little left that resembled how I typically wear my hair. I will not be returning and the shop owner or someone needs to post something to alert anyone to what they're in store before considering this shop... very disappointed... read more

Been going to Classic Barber Shop for over 20 years. Tracey and the other stylists do a great job and listen to their customers to understand exactly the right look they want. Quality small business run the right way. read more

I took my late mother's widower here for a haircut and they not only handled his hair, which is a feat in and of itself as it's like cutting hair made from copper fiber, but they trimmed his eyebrows, again a feat all its own as it is the same wiry copper stands as his hair, just of a thicker gauge and they made him look good in the process! Then to top it off, they did something I wouldn't be caught dead doing--- his ear and nose hair. God bless them. It was intriguing to watch as they styled other clients using techniques and methods that harken back to a bygone era but with modern tools and products. It's easy to find people at the bottom spectrum of their field but it is rare to find someone operating at the upper echelon. I shave my head but if I ever grow it out, this is where I'll go for a cut. read more

I took my son for a trim. I asked in advance if they did children, and was told that they did. I specifically asked the gentleman cutting not to mess with the top and to just TRIM the sides and back. He absolutely scalped my son, and that is the least of the issues with this haircut. I was so put off by the amount of hair that was left on the floor that I didn't even notice the hack job on the sides and the back. And I mean hack job! The back was a crooked bowl cut with at least two nearly bald patches where the clippers went wonky. My kid is small, but he sat perfectly still so I do want to hear any nonsense about this being the fault of a wiggly boy. He also sat perfectly still yesterday for another stylist who fixed his hair. There is absolutely no excuse for the haircut we received. Of note, while we were having his hair repaired at a local salon that caters to children, another stylist asked me who did that to my son's hair. When I told her "Classic Barber Shop in Cary," she said "Yep. I just fixed another little boy yesterday from the same shop. They have no business working on kids. read more

See all

Funny. The two (former) barbers featured in the shop picture both left well over 5 years ago and now work at the Grumpy Barbers. They were great. This shop is run by Tracy, who I have witnessed mess up many haircuts due to lack of balance or lack of focus. More interested in telling you his opinions than cutting hair. The other barbers are a crapshoot. Never going back. read more

Very misleading place, it calls itself the Classic barbershop, when you find there is two nice ladies doing very comercial hair cuts, even worse than Great Clips. They try to be polite and make conversation, the typical hair cut interviews about your life, but they have no idea what a Barber Shop should be, you should change your name to express hair cuts instead of classic barber shop. read more

Really great place! Excellent service! Super convenient hours! Very sweet staff! Took my son here for a cut before school pictures next week and they did not disappoint. I showed her a picture and she exceeded our expectations! We will definitely be regulars here! Clean, relaxed atmosphere, love the sugar skulls! Highly recommend! read more

Regular barbershop were the service is good and the staff are friendly. Pricing falls in line with pretty much standard prices.

This is nice and clean place but this is not a good place for hair styling. The owner Tracy Gregory does not know to give style to your hair. Mistake can happen with anyone but every time same mistake not acceptable. He can cut the hair for the people with little hair. If you have dense hair or you are not bold headed DONOT let him give you a hair cut. read more

My husband took my son to get his hair cut here. He brought in a picture and physically showed her how long he wanted the top to be. My son walked out of there with nothing close to what he had asked for and his hair so short we can't correct it. The woman also wasn't very kid friendly and even though she tried, it was pretty awkward. My husband saw someone else and he asked for a beard trim just to clean it up. It's so bad he has to shave his whole face! read more

Been there about 6x. Have had Sarah 5x, and Matt this past Saturday. Never had Tracy but it's been because of the 'luck of the draw' when walking in. That said, I'm from NY and have been to quite a number of barbers .. on Long Island, a bunch in NYC as well as Queens. These guys rank at the top of this list, Sarah and Matt (and from everything I hear, Tracy) are all A barbers. Whenever I walk into a chain place here in the Raleigh area I always wonder what I'm going to get, but I've never have had a questionable experience here. What's amusing about it too .. Sarah knows when I go to someone else in between her cuts because she'd say they did an uneven job :) Net: a hidden gem in Apex for men's haircuts. read more

First time to Classic Barber Shop. I received an excellent haircut from Matt. I brought in a picture and he helped me see how to get the look in the picture given my hair type. He showed me what product to use and how to style my hair. The hair cut was fantastic. He was very personable and easy to talk to. Great cut, great price. read more

Damn good haircut here done by Tracy. I think it was a deal at $14. Also it's nice to find a men's barber shop that takes debit cards (most are still cash only). read more

I decided to try this place out rather than continuing at the salon I was going to. I wish I had done so sooner! Matt gives the most amazing fades. I get comments every time I leave the house! Wouldn't dream of going anywhere else. The building is easy to find. The staff is always friendly & the place is always clean. Give this place a shot, you will not be disappointed! read more

Outstanding haircut for a very reasonable price. Only barbershop open on Mondays according to barber. Walk ins welcomed. read more

They have a cult following and these reviews are hardly going to make any difference. Had a good haircut the first time and I thought of selecting it as a regular spot. It was still about 3 hours before closing the next time I went there. I usually have to plan in advance because of work schedule and other appointments. It turned out that due to some holidays, the staff had collectively decided to leave early. There were a few others who also walked in only to be turned away. The staff were still in the shop at the time but said they wouldn't be doing any more haircuts for the day. It would have been nice to at least put this information on the site. If not that, then perhaps extend an apology, but for them it seemed like a casual affair ... . Also, going by the feedback on Yelp, it seems that the location has mixed reviews. I was going to give it the benefit of the doubt, but after the last experience, it's probably not merited. There are other places with far more personable service where you don't have to be an old-time regular to get appropriate service. read more

I had been here several years ago and recently decided to stop by again on a Friday late morning. The proprietor, Tracy, welcomed me over to his chair once it was my turn. He is friendly, efficient, and knows what he is doing. I received an excellent haircut and plan to return. I am thinking this is my new "go to" barber. There were also two female barbers in the shop, they were both busy with clients as well. read more

I've had my hair cut by several different barbers. I was pleased with all the cuts. Everyone has been very nice and competent.

Just had my first haircut today at Classic and Christina who has only worked there for 6 weeks cut my hair. She has recently relocated from Virginia and has 16 years experience. She did a very good job and charged me $14.00. The shop appears to have 3 people working there and they were busy while I was there. It is Old School type Barber Shop and that's just fine by me! read more

Been going here for about 8 years now, and usually get Tracey who has never given me a bad haircut. I even drive from Raleigh to here because I like it so much. Past few times I have had another woman who completely ignores what length you want your hair, claiming "this is the style". I walked in there looking for a quick trim before a new job and walked out with a borderline buzzcut, I'm furious read more

I have been a customer for about 3 years. I have had a haircut from all of the barbers over the years (Stella, Mia, and Tracy) - all give great cuts! Please support this local business and get a great haircut at a great price. They are open for business and taking appointments! Please go see them! read more

Yeah don't go to this place. I was very specific with the length I needed and the lady butchered me. It'll be 2 months before I need another haircut. In addition I gave her $26 for a $16 haircut and she wasn't going to give me change until I asked for it. Even then it was only $4 B butI thought it would be easier to let her have the $6 instead of arguing over it. I was not going to tip her otherwise because of the terrible haircut. read more

I found my new barber . . . Tracy. Got a great cut from a guy who knows his craft in a shop that brought me back to those pretense-free early days when I went to a barber shop to get a hair cut. read more

Just give it a chance - you will never go anywhere else. Matt Martin will give you a barbershop experience that you can find in big cities and pay $65-$80.00 per session. Thats because he used to be the guy running those shops. I am so lucky to have found an experienced barber/shaver in the area and for a fraction of the price of those other places. Tracey opened this shop back when I lived in Apex 6 years ago and it still has that home-grass roots feel with the service and experience of a 5 Star Barbershop. Do yourself a favor - get a shave here. Do yourself another favor - get a haircut here. And then when you come back, and they remember your name, your family, and smile as you walk in the door and offer the same great service - you will never go anywhere else. read more

I went there when I need to get a haircut in a pinch. My normal barbers were booked out. I was not disappointed in service and the haircut that I got. Super high quality and great conversation with the stylist. I'll go back. read more

This shop employs some fantastic professional service for men's cuts. Matt is a Master Barber and has perfected his craft. It was very impressive to see him at work. read more

Very pleased My son and I made the visit to Classic Barber Shop. Great service, hot shave, perfect cut.

This barbershop is awesome! Tracy and Sarah are two of the best. I have tried a ton of barbershops around the area and this one is by far the best I've found. read more

We just found this shop on Yelp and I'm very happy we did! The last place the three males in the family visited basically attached a weed wacker to their heads and called it a day. The barbers here were friendly, great with the two squirming kids (6 and 9, both very pleased to receive lollipops), and managed my boyfriend's cow licks with skill. We will be back! read more

Just moving here 6 weeks ago and having an awesome barber back in California I have been looking for a good old school barbershop... Well this isn't the good ol' barbershop but Sarah gives a great haircut and they are both very friendly. Got a solid haircut. Couldn't give a 5 star simply because I grade all barbershops based on the one I used in California. I will be using these guys though. read more

Was there this morning and chose to take the first available chair to avoid the wait time. Mia introduced herself explained she was new to the shop and asked how I wanted my hair cut. She actually asked about several things about style and length as she moved through the process. Nia has skillz! The cut was even in length and done exactly as I wanted. She pays attention to the details others miss being in a hurry to get through the waiting customers. Definitely recommend her to anyone to get a good haircut. Classic Barbershop employs the talent to get it done right. Ask for Mia. read more

Very friendly place to go. There is a good chance they will remember your name if you go back. The haircuts are not that good. They are very outdated and rural. If you want a personal touch this is your place. If you want a good haircut, not so much. read more

Posting on mt wife's phone: I have been going to the Classic Barbershop since moving to Apex a year ago. All of the barbers are great and the place is always clean and professional. Still my wife evaluates my hair cuts and feel Sarah does the best job. Often proven by those waiting for her to cut there hair. Luckily the other barbers do great work as well. If you want a traditional barbershop feel be sure to check them out. read more

Great barber shop. They trim beards for no extra charge. Crowded on Saturdays but that's a good sign and the wait has never been unbearable. I always try to get there on a weekday afternoon. read more

Great haircuts at a great price. Friendly place and they take the time to make sure you're happy. On top of that, Sarah is back! She had stepped away for a bit but she's back working at the Classic Barber Shop. read more

Just had a really great haircut at Classic Barber Shop! I came in on a Monday evening and was greeted by Sarah who was super friendly and very willing to make sure I had a great haircut. We chatted about various topics while she cut my hair and when I looked in the mirror I was very happy with the job she did! Sarah also trimmed my eye brows and cleaned up my side burns and back of my neck with straight razor. The shop is clean, the staff is friendly and the prices are reasonable. Very enjoyable experience! read more

I visited Classic Barber Shop for the first time after living in Apex for about a year. I did my research and read great reviews and decided to give them a shot. I walked in and was greeted by Sarah. She did an excellent job on cutting my hair and trimming my beard. I am very particular on how I like my hair and she took her time and stopped to get my opinion several times. You could really tell she knew what she was doing. While she was cutting my hair one of her regulars walked in and she greeted him by name. I naturally expected her to speed up cutting my hair so that she could move on but she did not. She continued with the same patience and care and I did not feel like she rushed to get me out the door. I highly recommend giving the a try! read more

Check the dates on these reviews. I wish I had. In the first week of March after just moving to the area I searched out a new barber. When I arrived they put me in an Asian lady's chair. Unfortunately the only mirrors are behind you but after a few minutes I thought she was taking far more than I had instructed off of the sides. If you like high and tight this is the place. If you are after a regular/normal haircut beware. I'm now ready for another haircut (June 12, 2017). When was the last time you went 3 1/2 months between haircuts BECAUSE you didn't need one. If you like it short....great experience. If you want a regular hair cut try somewhere else....that's what I'm doing. read more
