Wow I cannot believe that it's been 4 years since I last wrote a review for EMG. And I'm writing this in my new city, looking for a barber that can succeed Tony, because honestly there's nothing that can replace him. The great thing about EMG is that once you find your barber, they can become everything you'd want your barber to be - in my case, Tony didn't just offer a great haircut. In our conversations, he actually put me on a path that changed my life. I am forever grateful to the staff and crew of EMG, and from my time in Phoenix they will be one of the things I DESPERATELY miss. Oh - and with regards to my previous issues with them, once I installed the Fresha app on my phone, booking became super easy. I do still think that they would benefit from asking if you want to book your next appointment in-advance (because honestly I sometimes forget to do so and then next thing I know, a month has gone by and my hair looks like a rat's nest), but I feel like once you've found your barber at EMG, stick with them, make a relationship with them, and you'll find a barber that you'll want for the rest of your life. Thank you to EMG and this place could not be more recommended by me. read more

Just had a great haircut with Kam. I told him exactly what I was going for, and he didn't just follow it , he gave solid recommendations to make it look even better. You can tell he really knows what he's doing and actually cares about how you walk out feeling. The shop itself was nice, clean, and had a chill vibe. read more

I can't say enough good things about my experience with George Contreras at Executive Men's Grooming! I came in on Saturday (2/21) after getting a truly terrible haircut in Coolidge earlier in the week--uneven, choppy, and just plain off. George took one look, listened to what I wanted, and completely turned it around. He gave me the best haircut and beard trim I've had in a long time. The precision, the attention to detail, and the way he shaped everything to actually suit my face and style were next-level. I walked out feeling like a new man--confident and sharp. George is a true professional and clearly loves what he does. If you're anywhere near the area, do yourself a favor and book with him. Worth every penny and then some. 10/10, will be back every time! Thank you, George--you're the real deal! read more

Been going here for years to both the Gilbert and Mesa locations for my haircuts. Sean and Toby are my trusted guys at Mesa, both do a great job! It's also nice to be offered a water or beverage every time I come in and if I have to wait, there's always a great movie playing. Definitely recommend it! read more

Now I do not have odd hair or a difficult haircut, but that doesn't mean that a decent haircut is less valuable. I also rate the atmosphere. I like this place. I have been here before. It is straight forward. It was easy to make an appointment. All in all a simple visit and I am pleased with the results. Need a haircut? Come here. read more

Been here once or twice in the past barbers have been fine and I said I wasn't going to leave a review but this last time was terrible probably the worst haircut I've ever had in my life. I'm just not going to name the person who cut me, but I'll just say he's native American and he totally fucked my hair up. It's been about two weeks but every time I keep looking at my hair in the mirror, it's all fucked up. I was letting my hair grow back in before coming here and I just asked for a simple fade, a simple blend but someway somehow the barber decides to give me a slight mohawk. So like what's the point of telling your barber how you want your haircut when the barber is going to cut your hair however they want to anyways. I didn't get charge for the haircut but still it's gonna take a year for my hair to grow back in or my other option is to cut all my hair off so my shit could be even again. Super disappointed with this last visit.. read more

High quality cuts, and easy on scheduling. Shout out to Sean in Mesa and David in Awakutkee.

Well, I had an appointment at 11:30 and I went there at 11:10. So about 20 minutes early. There was someone else who was waiting and he had an appointment at 11. He asked me that he is cutting late and it might take 11:45 for me to get a haircut. I mentioned it to him that I m not sure as I had other appointments later. Then someone else came in and he had an appointment at 11:40. This made me wonder, will he be able to cut my hair in 10 minutes or is this bad practice to make everyone wait. I believe he took the 11 am appointment at 11:20. I waited till 11:50 and told him I had to leave due to other appointments. Once in a while you may be late due to unavoidable circumstances, but deliberately making customers wait is not a good practice as everyone s time is important. read more

Executive Mens Grooming - Excellent Company EMG it's been a year NOW - Men's Hair Salons Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Only been here once for my son. My son had an appointment with Tony, his normal barber, but SOMEHOW Tony decided not to show up that day. Hmmmm. I won't knock any stars off for that, Tony. I think it was Josh that stayed later (I think he was on his way to leave for home) to accommodate giving my son his haircut, as we were also pressed for time. Tony, Sean came here specifically, way out of our way to get his haircut from you because you weren't available at your normal location when he needed his haircut. Anyway, nice place here. Different vibe than the Gilbert location, but great barbers just the same. My husband and son will continue to be loyal customers, but just please show up if we're on either of my guys are on your books, ok? read more

Been growing my beard out for about a year now, decided it was time for a professional shape up. What an absolute mistake going to this place was. Joe the "owner" is who I got to destroy the last year of beard growth taking all my length get this though on one side one my face ! I have 2inches on one side an inch on the other. Brushing my beard out looks so ratty now I wish I never even got it shaped at all! I called after to let these crooks know, they told me to come down they would correct it. I went back down just to go show him how unbelievably off it was. He begged me not to leave a bad review, however, to save all the other men out there I'm not letting this one slide He said "oh that's my fault. I was trying to leave length I guess I just did it on one side, not knowing you are you're like my 85th person I've done in the last three days blah blah blah blah" he explained to me it's normal to have it longer on one side than the other. IM SO DISAPPOINTED!! He's a fast talker he brings up his church And all this me me me I I I shit. He's a fast talker. He acts friendly like he cares He doesn't even let you get a word in. He's laughing taking it in banging them out number 85 in three days! As he flew around me like he was on boog sug cutting away yelling at the tv watching sports more than he's looking at your hair that he's cutting. This is a joke. Strictly to save anybody else from getting this kind of dissatisfaction I'm posting this review. GO TO A PROFESSIONAL! EXECUTIVE MENS GROOMING IS NOT EVEN THE SLIGHTEST PROFESSIONAL. Nobody should spend $70 for their year of beard growth to get destroyed by some chump banging them out raking people for their money. The photo is the "fix" he did after the second time going there in one day. read more

I showed a picture of a past haircut I got but didn't do what I asked for at all. The barber seemed annoyed to even have to cut my hair.

I've been to this location 3 times now. To be fair, the only reason I started going was because they hired my barber that I've been going to for 8+ years and I would follow him anywhere! If he's happy and was willing to move to this shop, then I know they treat their employees well. Aside from that, I am happy with the new spot. It's very spacious so you don't feel awkward sitting while you wait. You're not too close to anyone else whether thats in the waiting area or at a station. The vibe is trendy and masculine. It's def no Super Cuts. This place put thought into the layout, decor and feeling the customers get the whole time they're there. Book w/ my guy Nathaniel and you won't regret it! read more

First.... EMG expands to Ahwatukee. If you are looking for an awesome cut look no further. EMGs first location is closer to me in Gilbert but even a 30 min drive cant stop me from getting a cut by Tony if he's not at the Gilbert location. Don't be fooled and think oh it's a chain shop. Far from that. This place is as unique and amazing as you can find. I could go on and on but do yourself a favor and check it out and decide for yourself. Your haircut will speak for itself. read more

Tony and the crew are amazing. I love supporting small local business who truly appreciates your business. They are genuine. They care. And they leave you with a pretty solid cut. Check them out like books lol read more

Executive Mens Grooming - Royce is a big fan of EMG - Men's Hair Salons Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I asked for a low taper fade. And I recieved a haircut that resulted my entire side of my head faded bald, no blend, and all I got when I told him that's not what I wanted was, "this is what the kids are getting these days". I had to pay 35 dollars just to go to another shop and get the fade blended in, the back of the hair cut, and to save it by getting a completely new hairstyle. I want my money back. read more

I like that this place is very customer service oriented. After a haircut that wasn't up To par for one of my sons, the owner personally reached out to me as did Ian, the Manager for the Ahwahtukee location. I went back and Ian left my kids hair perfect which was great because my kids had a recital for their theater classes the following day and were nervous about looking good for it. Ian also did my other kids hair and he nailed the picture my kid gave him for reference. He's very meticulous with a strong attention to detail which gave for the perfect lineup my kids wanted. I would strongly recommend asking for Ian, especially for African American hair as that's not an easy task. Also, make an appointment cause this place stays booked and with good reason. read more

Chad butchered my hair! I walked in he barely made eye contact with me and didn't even say how are you. I had to say it, to cut the awkward tension. then half way through my haircut he says your hair is standing up. yea no shit, you cut it too short bro, and only on one side. i have the most basic hair men's haircut, how do you mess that up?? and who hired this guy? now I have to look like a fool for a couple weeks till it grows out! thanks excecutive men's grooming. I'll be telling everyone I know who buthchered my hair! read more

Hit or miss on barbers. I had to go home and cut all my hair because of how horrible my haircut was. I still paid and tipped. I would not recommend this place unless you know which barber is good. I showed the barber a picture of what I wanted (which was a picture of myself) mid fade, and a trim on top. read more

See all

The owner of the shop in Mesa is a super cool guy and even better barber. I always leave impressed and relaxed. Highly recommended

Best traditional barber shop in the east valley. I have been a customer of Executive Men's Grooming since 2014 and have never been disappointed. I have personally used Tony and Joe and both are amazing barbers and keep the conversation entertaining. Great atmosphere, excellent service provided by an all around great business! I never hesitate to recommend EMG and go out of my way to bring my kids there as well. read more

Great cut by Josh. Talented. Professional. Very pleasant experience. I will be a returning client.

I do not recommend this place, first of all they are expensive for a barber shop. And second of all do not get the girl. I told her I wanted to keep the length of my beard and just line it up and she practically cut my whole beard off! And made it really really uneven on my cheeks and my neck. And I asked for a medium skin fade and didn't even get a skin fade, and both side are uneven and the back of my head one side is cut higher than the other. I highly do not recommend this place. I knew I should have staid with my usual bar or and shouldn't have come here. read more

Nice place. Kinda tucked away...wasn't sure exactly where it was. Regardless, great haircut. Lexi was really nice and took her time to get it right -- one annoying cowlick that she found a way to mostly tame. I really appreciate that. I've had so many haircuts by people who only know how to do one cut, no matter what you say. Will be coming back. read more

Gentlemen, I would personally like to invite you to this establishment. Great atmosphere, great vibe. Lexi has been cutting my hair for about a year. I followed her from the last establishment she worked at. I would Highly recommend Lexi for All your haircut needs including beards. Please, try this place and you will never go anywhere else, I Promise. Thank you Lexi for another great haircut George Verdugo STSC,CRIS read more

My husband took my 9 year old grandson to get a haircut and they were very pleased. I think we found a new place to get their haircut.

Tony's a master of his craft and hooked me up with a pro level cut and beard trim. Highly recommend this shop for one of the best cuts in Tukee, if not all of town. Don't be afraid if you've been getting hacked on with mediocre cuts, they'll get you straight and styled proper. read more

This place has really gone downhill. Had my business for a little while but definitely not anymore. Unprofessional environment currently. Felt uncomfortable the entire time and was subjected to racist remarks. Fake advertising. If your an actual executive this is the last place to go for a haircut. read more

Had a lovely hair cut provided by Artem, I will definitely come here whenever I am need of a cut!

Joe was great at cutting my hair. The barber shops itself was friendly and kind. Everyone kept a good conversation so it wasn't awkward like most places. 100% would recommend seeing Joe for your next hair cut. read more

Have never had a bad haircut everyone is awesome love the vibe and the staff is awesome Joshua, Artem, or Michelle will do an amazing job.

Always a great experience at this location. Easy to book online within the hour, reasonable prices, good conversation, great haircut.

Been going to Tony for a couple years, I'm happy they opened up a location closer to me! If you have not checked them out, do yourself a favor! Great haircut and always good fun hanging out with Tony and his crew! read more

The price here is very reasonable and the service is excellent! The woman who helped me was really friendly and my haircut turned out really good! read more

Quality, Value I have been a client of Tony's for over 6 years now. In addition to giving haircuts which have received numerous compliments over the years, his shop has always been clean, friendly, & well-run. I'm SO glad there's now a location closer to me in Ahwatukee! I couldn't recommend them more highly. read more

I've been here twice now, the first time I had Tony and he gave a really good cut, he is also very friendly and talkative which I enjoy. I would give a 5 star review however the 2nd time I went I had someone else, and it wasn't as good of an experience. The fade wasn't really a fade, I asked for it up to the line and they didn't go up to it, they also didn't buzz the line like I asked so now my hair is just growing over the line, and then I asked for it trimmed on the top and they went REALLY short. Normally they'll ask if the length is the right amount their about to take off before they cut it, but they just started before I could say anything and now it's way shorter then I wanted it. I'll still come back, just when a different barber is there. I'm not a expert on hair, but I've had more skilled barbers in the past so it's disappointing when you get below average quality. read more

Working 12 hr shifts can make it tough to find a barbershop that you can depend. Lucked up and found this place that is open 7-7. Inside the shop fits the barbershop vibe but also sets the tone for the quality of cut you receive. My fade I received is no doubt the best cut I've had in a very long time. My barber was extremely nice and boy was she meticulous. She took her time and the finished product was perfect. Great prices, nice people, and fresh cuts! read more

Great place to get a haircut. Tony cut my hair yesterday. I've been looking to try a different place to get a haircut for awhile. My wife told me about the new location in ahwatukee. Stopped by over Labor Day weekend to check it out and spoke to a friendly women. Tony did a great job. Gave him a couple ideas of what I was thinking and he immediately said he knew what he wanted to do. I like the laid back vibe and good conversation with Tony and Joe as well. Will be back for sure and looks like I found my new spot to get a haircut. Highly recommend this recently opened spot. read more

Well I found it. My new spot. This place is legit. Great vibe, comfortable furniture and friendly staff. If your a dude looking for a clean cut and a chill spot this is wear your need to be. I will be returning for all my future cuts. read more

OUTSTANDING service. Complete old school barbershop with a modern feel. The staff was friendly and extremely customer focused. Great haircut and shave!! My fellow former New Yorker Q did an awesome job. Left feeling refreshed and happy. read more
