To men who are still paying $15-$25 for styles at super cuts, or other "chain" style shops/salons, wake up. Women are standing behind you at the gas station, gym and post office wondering what happened to the area you can't see in the back of your head? Got thinning hair? Growing it longer in the back only illuminates the thin areas; get it tapered up properly in the back and the balance looks fuller. Go to a real barber and get a cut flattering to shape of your skull; think light bulb instead of super cut "helmet". As mentioned in other reviews, finding a good barber can be a challenge without looking like a hair experiment afterward. Same as locating an expert tailor that makes you look good in clothes. First visit here today, walked in and met Almon, friend of Adam the owner and "on-loan" here, until returning to Austin at end of month. Ironically, Almon has exact same haircut as mine--straight brown hair, slicked back. He had a clean looking haircut himself, with tight taper. Asked who here cut his? He does so mostly himself. Hopped in the chair for an excellent cut with tight taper. Straight razor finish, hot towel and and dab of pomade on top to finish it off. Have to agree with Brandon as well, you're walking out ready to show. Did I mention Miller High Life beer on tap at the shop? What are you waiting for... Update--have made switch to V's Barbershop, Ocotillo location. See review. read more

For a few years my husband has been wanting to get something tattooed on his ring finger as his wedding ring is very uncomfortable. He had the day off yesterday and made a spur-of-the-moment decision to just do it! We hopped onto Yelp and read the positive reviews of Electric Haven (even though most of the reviews were about the barber side of the business). We called and Adam (the owner) said it would be no problem to put a tattoo on his finger, and he had time right then to do it, so we headed over hoping we'd made the right choice for a tattoo shop. Well, the minute we walked in we felt we'd made the right decision. Adam is totally cool and had no problem copying my husband's design exactly as he wanted it. In fact, he even improved on the design. We were in and out in less than 20 minutes, and the price was extremely reasonable. We will definitely return when I decide to get my ring tattoo :) We also talked for a while with Wade, the barber. He is an incredibly nice guy. My husband will definitely go here when he decides to finally cut his hair (he's growing it out right now). Highly recommend this locally owned place. read more

Being a transplant to AZ, it took sometime of searching and bad hair cuts before I found this place. It is now my go to barber shop. Electric Haven is in a new location, in the same strip mall, but now in the North West corner by Discount Tire. The new shop does not currently have any tattoo stations, but I've heard it's something they're working towards, if the zoning codes permit. The Barber shop is always clean and there are at least 3 barbers there, whenever I've been in. I've read some reviews griping about a long wait...it's true, sometimes you will wait for some time, but think about what that means. There are 15 other guys waiting to get their hair cut, because they know and trust the barbers at E/H to do an amazing job. These barbers are very talented, have a reputation of excellence and hey, it's first come, first served. I know from experience, that some styles and cuts, you can't get at salons, old school barbers, and definitely not at one of those super, fantastic or great hacks. If you want a razor fade, a hard part, Pompadour, side part, flat top, a flawless fade, slick back, etc. etc. these guys not only will know what you're talking about, but will consult with you on your preferences and leave you walking out with one of the sharpest cuts you've ever had. In my opinion, that alone is worth any wait. But hey, while you wait, they offer you a cold cup of beer from their very own keg of High Life. The music is always playing and on my latest visit was happy to hear a whole block of Murder City Devils. These guys have good taste, are friendly and very talented. It's a screaming deal that these cuts are only 15$. They also offer beard trims and hot towel shaves for an additional charge. I've had my hair cut multiple times by Eric and Brendyn and whether it's a new style or a consistent cut I have always been very happy with the outcome. I highly recommend them because they've cut my hair, but all these barbers know their stuff and I've never seen anyone walk out of E/H not grinning and looking sharp. While you're there pick up a can of High Life pomade, perfect for dressing any hair do. It smells like pina coloda, has a firm hold and a soft shine. read more

I'm moving to Scottsdale in a month...you know where I will be going for my haircuts? Electric Haven. This place is amazing, the guys inside are funny, friendly and full of stories. They'll even give you beer too while you get your haircut. It may seem really weird at first walking into this place...I'll admit I stepped out of my comfort zone the first time I came here but I am glad I did and you will be too. The attention to detail your hair gets at this place is amazing and they get you ready for showtime. Come in here before that hot date you have, before you go out for a night on the town, before a job interview or before accepting your Academy Award and you will be standing a foot taller knowing that you look your very best.. Oh yeah...try the shave too...it's a great price for a shave and the best I've had in town. read more

Granted this is the first time I've been to a barber but the experience was great. I've always went to the same type of stylist and never got what i wanted or though i wanted but lived with the cuts for all these years. Then one day my buddy told me i should try a barber and he suggest this place. it was weird at first when you walked in, they had like punk rock playing and a nice older lady at the counter telling me to check in. I waited about 45 minutes since they were busy, since they didn't do appts back then but they do now. But it was worth the wait, Tim aka TIMMAY on his haircut card is awesome and a chill guy. I showed him a picture of what i kind of wanted and he went at it. Told him not to fade too much on the sides and back since I've never had a fade and it felt so weird with short hair all around but it came out clean and they also shave the back of your neck to I guess clean it up. I've been there about 5-6 times now and will never go to any other haircut place, as long as Tim is cutting my hair I'll will go to him each time. read more

Best tattoo place I've been to! Not to sound hokey, but I was literally a bit shocked when they quoted the first piece I had done there. I had taken the idea to other places and the quotes ranged from $200 to even $300. I ended up paying $140 plus tip at Electric Haven and had a great time chatting with the different employees and regulars while having it done. I have one back several times and each time they have been quick, talented and reasonable. Manny is the best! He knew exactly what I wanted and added a lot of creativity to it. read more

Best barber for classic or new style haircuts, I've been getting my hair cut by Rick and Chivo for nearly three years and plan to keep coming back for years to come! read more

Cool place. The vibe is good. Everybody is hanging out. Not a chain barber shop. Tat magazines, fun conversation. Good group of people here. I will be back..... BTW, free beer while you wait. That cant suck! read more

Very disappointed. Will not return. I came in here with such high hopes due to their ratings. Atmosphere was great, no wait time, but the main service lacked professionalism. Since moving to Tempe I have yet to find a barber who actually listens to their customers. Unfortunately this one might as well just have had headphones in (unfortunately I didn't get his name). Once seated I told him "a 7 all the way around (meaning the top as well as the sides), I also asked for a taper in the back and pointy sideburns. After I even showed him like 5 pictures of a past haircut I got, he agreed and got to work. Unfortunately he's the type of barber that has you seated with the back to the mirror so there's really no way to tell what he's up to. He cut way above the hairline which to me was obvious since you could see the little tiny hairs that can't be cut off. My sides were also not cut to a 7 but much shorter. The side was also not cut to a curve like the picture but basically just cut in a straight diagonal line. Once he asked how I liked it, I tried to be as nice as possible and instead of telling him my true opinion I told him it was "alright". He seemed surprise by my response and I nicely explained how it was nothing like the picture which he claimed he could do if he cut my hairline even more back and to an angle but after he suggested that I just got up. I mean I basically paid $20 plus a tip to wear a hat for an entire month. So I'll for sure never be coming back. read more

Unless I'm in a bind, this is the only barber shop I'll go to. Normally I go to Eric, but if he's not there - everyone else is very talented. Not to mention, $17 for the amount of effort and detail they put in, a free beer, GOOD MUSIC, and supporting a local business? I'm all for it. I've gone to the expensive Russian guys, they do a good job, but you walk out with $50 less in your wallet and no beer. I'll tell you this: If it's the weekend and you're looking horrendous - either set an appointment or deal with waiting. It's worth it. Let's put it this way, patience is a virtue and good things come to those who wait. You'll remember that next time that pretty girl at the bar chooses your friend who got his hair cut here over you and your clippers at home. Also, if you decide to trade your man-card in for a shave, they'll do that for you. They probably won't even make fun of you. read more

These dudes are busy for a reason, they do good work. Appointments? yea not the norm but works out pretty good in this busy shop. Its not the end of the world just call ahead and they usually got something open for you. Music is always on point and the place is always clean. My regular dude is Eric and he never disappoints, always a great friendly haircut and or beard trim. I think the price is pretty standard around the valley maybe a little more but you get what you pay for. I am happy to hook these dudes up. Always do a great job. I would and have recommended this place to friends and family. They all say the same thing "thanks" because they get the same treatment I have known to enjoy from this place. Good haircut, good times, and good peeps. Keep cutting dudes, Keep up the good work. I have also got cut from Austin, does good work as well. Junior read more

I just wanted to say how great these guys are. My original review was based on a haircut about a month ago. Just a couple of days ago, I came back in to get another cut. We've been working to get my hair into a kind of 1940's side part cut. Anyways, I come in and he takes a look at it. He tells me that if we give it another week of growth, the cut would look much better. He cleans up the edges, puts some pomade and sends me out the door FREE of CHARGE. I cannot express how much I appreciate these folks. read more

Austin is the man, he really knows what he is doing and has a great attitude. Knew exactly what I wanted and has given me the best cut I literally have ever had. No joke or gimmicks. If you're looking for a great classic barber for a great experience and price come here! Will be visiting Austin again! read more

Very polite owners and barbers, comfortable interior and waiting area. My barber was efficient and skilled and please to talk to. Free soda and water while you wait. I will return read more

Great shop! I have had my hair cut by Timmy, Brendyn and Austin. I can't say that I have had a bad experience. These guys know what they are doing, they listen, and they care about their customer service. As long as these guys are there I refuse to go to any other barbershop. read more

*Location has moved to the other side of the parking lot. So I'm a little sad that after Adam sold the business it's no longer a tattoo shop. My boyfriend loves the hair product from this place. The voo doo brew pomade gives his hair the flawless style he likes, and I love the way it smells. There is a wait list for a cut (like a week) but again, great prices and the stylist are awesome. read more

I took my squirmy 3 1/2 year old son here for his school pictures cut (no pressure, right?!). I'm sure it's not typical for them to do children's hair, but the barber was great. He got a really great cut! Can't wait to send hubby there soon for the full beer, cut, and a shave. Great place! read more

For a clean, well-measured, classy man's haircut that makes you feel fresh and cool --- get Jonny as your barber.

Your haircut is Jonny's art and science, and he'll groom you up perfectly at a totally reasonable price. Here's someone who takes his work seriously and does it with pride. You can tell Jonny cares that your neckline, sides and top will fit your head well; and you can trust him too. This is his passion, and you want someone like that taking care of your hair.

Relax with a beer while you get your haircut and come back to get a free edge clean-up inbetween visits back. Great service. read more

I have been getting my haircut at Electric Haven for over a year now. In fact, I have to drive out quite a ways to do so but Austin makes it worth it. Are they busy? Yes. They are busy because they are good. Just plan ahead and schedule your appointment. The atmosphere is laid back. Beer on tap. Good tunes. Not going to find that at Supercuts! read more

Austin does a great job! Best hair cut ever. He takes his time too really make sure the cut is done right

Just moved back to AZ. Needed a haircut and found this place which seemed to have good reviews. The barber I got was definitely on something. Moving spastically all over the place and chopping at my head with the clippers. Kept checking himself out in the mirror and stopping mid cut to text on his phone. My haircut was not clean at all. Tons of little hairs still poking out from where he used the clippers. Left me with tons of cut hair all over my neck and clothing. When I paid, he hand entered it into his phone via "square". Not sure if this is how barbers get paid at this shop but it felt a bit sketchy. Not coming back. read more

AHH! I just got a super short summer cut last night! Once again awesomeness from Timmy! A lot of barbers don't grasp the shaved head, giant beard thing, but guess who has a shaved head and a giant beard? I do! I posted the obligatory post-haircut selfie to Facebook, and BAM. 21 likes! In our society of digital narcissism, attractiveness is measured by Facebook likes, right? Cuz omg, I'm hot like young Elvis, if that's the case. read more

Awesome place for guys to get your haircut especially if you want the "pompadour", classic, 30's look hairstyle! Only 17 bucks, my barber was named Austin and he was awesome!!! Very professional and my hair looks awesome! I especially like the way they skillfully use the blade to touch up the back and sides and take the time to make sure the haircut is perfect in the end!!!! Great place! Cant wait to get my haircut done again here! read more

I've been to a few barbers and I've never been satisfied; I've tried a few chain haircut places and a few barbershops in Arizona, California and wherever I've lived. This place has impressed me; it's the best barbershop I've ever been too. These guys know what they are doing. There really shouldn't be a science for the guy getting the haircut. I know what I want, I explain and the barber says, yes, no or that's a bad decision. Just for fun, I've given them a bad decision and even though the guy raised an eyebrow, he cut is as ugly as I wanted. But who wants a bad haircut except some demented student who doesn't give a breeze about what other people think. I've been given a cut by multiple guys here and they have, except for that one time, given me an impressive cut. The edges are crisp, the shape maintainable, the experience all man. I understand some people like shooting the breeze with the barber but I'm not that guy. I usually, I hope politely, answer a few life questions succinctly and the guys here get the point. They let me sit in my decompressing silence, that silence is totally worth tipping for. Enough said. The guys give an awesome cut, understand a hard part. Leave me in my silence when I need it and the price isn't too much. $17? Hell smack, totally worth every dime, penny and more. I've gotten a: -conservative hard side part (short) -yuppie side part with 5 inch bangs -a bad -short slick back read more

Courtesy is key. I was down from Prescott for the weekend, & had need for a quality hair cut. I was handled by Adam; his customer care & service was on point. I had little idea of what specifically I wanted done, I just asked him to make me look good. Great hair cut. & did I mention, while you wait they offer a cold Pint of Draft Beer! The experience was over the top great, & I would make the 2 hour drive again, this time just to get a Haircut. I will be Back to ELECTRIC HAVEN! Thanks Adam! read more

Electric Haven - Adam Faded me Up Perfectly. His attention to detail & customer care are second to None.I have a New Barbershop: Electric Haven! - Barbers Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

I'm following brandon on this one, its for Wade. I've been getting my hair cut by wade since my original review, I like that I can tell wade what i'm wanting to do and i'm always happy with it. he is also a skilled conversationist (sp?) we always BS about our army days and stuff. my only complant is i can't have a free beer... at least for another 9 weeks. read more

Best barbershop in Arizona and California combined. I have been to countless shops all over. I have left disappointed at most of them. I have loved both of my haircuts there. Brendon does a great job! I drive for over an hour to get to the shop. I won't have my haircut anywhere else now. Best deal in town as well. Check in on yelp and get the coupon, then you've got some more leftover for a good tip! Purchased their well priced grooming products as well. They last forever and the price can't be beat. Their mustache wax is excellent. Kudos to Brendon- you can take a cigarette break on my watch anytime. read more

Rick is the man. Always a spot on haircut and he's a cool respectable person along with everyone else that works there. 10/10 barbershop

Definitely check this shop out if your looking to get that cut it trim that all the cool kids are getting! ;) I always see Justin, but each of the 6 Barbars have awesome skills and are super professional. They also have awesome art on the walls. Check, check, check them out! read more

I almost feel like I should say this place sucked just to keep more people from gettin in line and making the wait too long! But this place frigin rocks! Yes, there's gonna be a line, but with five dudes in the chairs, and five waiting when I got there, I only sat to about 25 min. They have cool mags, offer ya free beer, and it's a cool shop with a cool atmosphere. To top that off, the barber did exactly what I asked for, and did a damn good job! Next time I go, I might have to try gettin ink'd, cut, and drunk! read more

This is my second time getting a haircut here. I'm very picky and like time and care to go into cutting my hair. Justin does that very well! He puts extreme effort and care into his cuts and listens to his customers. Highly recommend him! P.S: Make an appointment. read more

I got my hair cut by George before my wedding and he nailed it. I had to go back to get another. They do a great job

Though Electric Haven can seem intimidating at first, don't be fooled. Everything about this place is super friendly and awesome. There's nothing like sipping on a cold beer, admiring tattoo art, and getting an affordable high-quality haircut. The staff is great, the environment is relaxing, and with their comfy couch + keg, waiting for a haircut has never been more enjoyable. The haircut itself is one of the best men's cuts I've ever received. The barbers really know what they're doing, putting in time and care that most barbers can't match. After the haircut, stock up on a free comb, loyalty card, stickers, and brochure about the company's unique history. Tip well and tell all your friends. read more

Electric Haven Barber is in the SW plaza of McClintock & Southern. Next to Discount Tire. This establishment is 'walk-in' only and when you walk in, you must sign in towards the back, in order to hold your spot. This past weekend was my first time here and let me tell ya, this place was totally worth the wait! Waiting also gave me a chance to look at other styles that people were wearing. And the other comments that mention people coming in and "cutting" in front of them and the fact that no one said hello to them when they came in just isn't the case... The wait can be up to an hour and clients will sign in and leave and then come back. There is a coffee shop next door and food across the street. As for no one saying hi, they try their best. They are trying to talk to their clients and cut hair at the same time. They're not intentionally ignoring you. I showed my barber Brandyn a picture that I found of a side part. He gave me some tips on how to make it look like my style and BOOM! He nailed it! I will be coming back. These guys make me wish I had cooler style. You can't help but notice these gentleman's beards and tats along with their awesome haircuts. Go. You will not be sorry. Just keep in mind that it is walk-in only and that there will most definitely be a wait. read more

(this is for Jonny the Barber) 5 star clean up on my neck. I would give 6 stars if it was available because he offered to do it for just a tip. where else can you find that??? And it was the first time I was ever offered a cold beer whilst getting a haircut - this place is a gem. Thanks Jonny! read more

I've been going here for haircuts for years. Austin is my go-to and always gives a great haircut. I just wish not as many people knew about this place because it's hard to book an appointment around the time I get off work. read more

So your looking for a haircut... errrr tattoo? Well my friend this is the place! Step up to the chair! While your at it why not have a brew? Great haircut, cleaned up with the straight razor, hot towel and away you go. (by the way I don't consider it a barber shop unless they use a blade, the others are just salons) I would give it a 5 but I cant vouch for the tats. One day that may happen. read more

First time customer. Called an appt was suggested. Made appt for 2pm per individual working there. Was there 10 min early after waiting there until 2:05 was asked if I was checked in. I advised to an appt at 2pm. They said okay. A guy walked in off the street was seated before me with no appt. Must be a regular. The guy that confirmed my appt at 2pm, walked out the door and didn't say a word. I am sitting there 10 after like a bump on a log. I walked out after no acknowledgement. Waste of time! read more

I just got a haircut from George at Electric Haven and he absolutely did a stellar job! He was able to work me on, a walk in, and informed me of the appointment system. He was kind, quick, and asked lots of questions to make sure I got the haircut I wanted. I was referred to Electric Haven and have always had great service, and will continue to recommend them to anyone looking for a great cut! read more

Electric Haven is, in my humble opinion, one of the best barber shops in Arizona. The place is always clean, the barbers are always on point, and personally, I've never had an experience here that was less than excellent. Hats off to Austin, with whom I regularly get my hair cut. His professionalism is only matched by his candor and eagerness to meet each and every one of his client's expectations. He pays relentless attention to detail and has a knack for knowing what his clients want. I must say, however, that all of the barbers are supremely skilled--find one that you click with and that understands what you want and you'll be set! Usually, if you have an appointment, there is no wait time. In the rare instances where you have to wait, they have couches, magazines, refreshments, merchandise to browse, rock n roll music, and only the finest barber shop hair and beard products--both water soluble and wax-based. They also have, what I consider one of the best hair sprays in town, to set in the excellent hairdo you'll have, and special shampoo to wash it out! Mondays are walk-in only, so call ahead of time to see what is the potential wait time; but with so many skilled barbers on staff, you'll hardly wait at all. In my opinion, there simply is no match in town for Electric Haven--they have it all, including a great American classic atmosphere. read more
