I started coming here a little over two years ago after my previous barber relocated. With so many barbershops in the area, I decided to give this place a try after seeing great reviews online and I'm so glad I did! My barber, Kevin, is fantastic at what he does, and honestly, every barber here is. I would feel comfortable booking with any of them. The haircuts are consistently excellent, no matter who you see, and everyone walks out looking great. The shop has a welcoming, upbeat vibe. All of the barbers are friendly and engaging, which makes the experience enjoyable every time. You can tell everyone genuinely enjoys what they do, and that positive energy really shows. They also always have sports playing, which adds to the fun atmosphere. The space is always clean and well kept, and scheduling is very flexible, whether you prefer booking with a specific barber or stopping in as a walk-in. I highly recommend this barbershop and regularly tell people I know to give it a try. The music is always on point too, with a different playlist every time, which adds to the overall vibe. read more

I recently visited Clutch Time Cuts and had an exceptional experience, largely thanks to barber Chito. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming and vibrant, setting the stage for a great haircut. Chito's skills truly shone through as he not only gave me exactly the haircut I wanted but also offered insightful suggestions that elevated the final look. The environment at Clutch Time Cuts is top-notch, with a modern decor that exudes professionalism without feeling sterile. The staff, including Chito, exemplify excellent customer service -- they're friendly, attentive, and genuinely interested in ensuring each client leaves satisfied. I highly recommend Clutch Time Cuts for anyone looking for not just a haircut, but a full experience where professionalism meets exceptional skill. Chito's expertise and the overall ambiance make it a standout barbershop in the area. I'll definitely be returning for future cuts. read more

It was my first time trying this place last Friday, my office mate recommended it. Tony did my hair and it was great and for my beard Kevin stepped in, and he nailed it. The atmosphere is very friendly and they have Kobe paintings on the wall which is a treat. I'll definitely comeback. Kevin is welcoming and made sure I leave happy with my hair and beard. read more
