My wife tried giving me an at-home-haircut. Blame the timing (right before a wedding), general inexperience, vanity, or my mushroom shaped skull, but it ended up being test of marital patience. Faded Club has given me the best haircut I've had in Madison (sorry, Honey). read more

Best haircut I've had in a long time. Finally found my spot. Great vibe, go next door and get a Chicago dog afterwards. Rochelle the barber is awesome. read more

I'm writing this not as the person who got hair done but the person who looks at the person who got his hair done and who touches the hair and who found this shop on Yelp. In trying to get a man to try something new (not trim his own hair and not use the super cutter chains) I found this shop. Prebooking was easy. Mister went in with a hat on and came out with a fade looking super fly and sexy. So I give this place five stars for that! No complaints from either of us. He was satisfied with what he paid. So if you're looking for a place to send your man to get a fade, this is it. read more

Cazoua was great! She listened very well to what I wanted and gave me a great haircut on short notice. I used to go to Regent Cuts but they raised their prices too much, and I'm glad I switched because this haircut is much better than what I received from multiple different barbers over at RC. The price is reasonable and the cut didnt take long at all. Friendly staff. read more

Paid extra for Don to cut my hair because I'd heard great things on Reddit, but this was probably the worst value haircut I can ever remember getting. I gave him a clear explanation of what I wanted (not something complicated, just a pretty typical taper fade) and he evidently didn't process what I was asking for because it wasn't blended well at all and he lopped off my bangs at perpendicular angle, which looked almost like something a 12-year old cutting their own hair would do. Probably has to do with him being obviously overworked and sleep-deprived... He said he hasn't had a day off in 4 years. Something's wrong here. I'm sure you can find better value for the money elsewhere. read more

The lady was nice but she lack profession. She messed up my hair. I would not recommend for someone going there for the first time because they would not know the style. Also inside the sho is not clean and the hygiene is not good. read more

I think this was my worst hair cut experience! Got a haircut and beard trim with a newer stylist. It was a pretty simple job but it was completely butchered. No fade at all, top was cut twice as much as requested. The beard was completely uneven to the point I have to trim it all down and let it grow out again for it to be even. Good barbers are hard to find and I guess I will have to look elsewhere. read more

Price was good Service was fine I like the somewhat historic decor Probably 3 1/2 stars if I had that 1/2 option read more

Trust me, originally I didn't want to come here. After being a long time customer of College Barbers (now closed), it didn't seem right. The set up is pretty much the same, old wallpaper on the walls, barbers that know their stuff, no frills or fuss. The only difference is that you can call ahead at Stadium to reserve a spot. I finally was able to overcome my sense of loss and have been stopping in ever since I moved into the neighborhood and I am glad I did. As mentioned before, they take walk ins or you can call ahead. Everyone that I have met has been extremely friendly and welcoming. They stay "true to the game". What won't you find here? A barista pulling an espresso for you or a stylist with a man bun. And as someone who has had the same basic hairstyle for that last 30+ years, I am ok with that. read more

Don knows what he's doing and does the best fade + cut that I've found in Madison for only $20. He's so good that he uses an actual razor too. Finding him can be tricky, he's technically inside Nogginz Hair Shop with his own chair, not within a separate store front. read more

The people are nice and they are really are skilled and you can see how passionate they are in what they are doing. I usually go here twice a month and having a faux hawks cut and I am loving the way they treated me their customer and ofcourse how great they are on getting my hair styled and cut. I really recommend them to everyone. read more

I think I might have found my go-to barber in Madison. Don is great. He works from inside Nogginz on State. I really appreciate his online booking setup. It makes things quick and efficient. I showed up on time for my haircut and he was soon ready to go! Most men's haircuts run $20. I was very happy with my haircut. I like getting a hard part and a bit of a fade and he did both of these skillfully. He had a great attention to detail, taking the time to clean up stray hairs and line things up well. He books up about 5 days to a week in advance, but it was well worth the wait! read more

Not the best barber... He gave a horrible back to school haircut, just too damn short. He buzzed it off without asking. He couldn't even cut my hair even, it was longer on one side. I had to go to great clips to get if fixed. Now I am waiting for it to grow out again. I can't believe that those pictures with great haircuts are the ones he did. Awful! read more

Fuck yeah this place is great. Very old school. Great conversation. I like all the guys but Tim's my favorite. While they don't do shaves, whenever I feel like getting rid of an unruly beard off they'll take clippers to it for no extra charge. They love to talk sports. They are closed on gameday but that is probably just as well since parking would be a nightmare anyways Every time I walk out of there I feel manlier than Ronald Reagan whittling on a horse read more

Stopped in for the $5 beard trim. I figured since it was a barber shop you'd get a line up with a straight razor but I was wrong. I asked to keep the length of my beard and just trim up the loose ends...end result I leave with an uneven beard. The right side of my beard got chopped way down. I didn't notice until shortly after I left the left side of my beard was significantly longer. I love my beard and I will most definitely not be returning. I got home and attempted to salvage what was left and ended up with a much shorter beard after being patient in growing it out. read more

Faded club - After beard trim. Significantly longer on one side. - Barbers Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

Got a fade by the owner, I was really disappointed, there was no fade, only a straight line. They didnt round it off on the top so it looked like a mushroom head more than anything. My hair was uneven and not clean. He did not box up the front. At the end he still wanted me to pay 35 dollars for the unprofessional haircut. read more

Got my second haircut with Don this morning. Easily the best experience I've ever had with a barber. Show him a photo or explain a style you're going for and he'll nail it. read more

Had a great time with a short notice appointment. Staff were very friendly and conversational. Theirs skills were quickly evident and turned into one of my best cuts in a long time. They were also very flexible with re-appointments. A+ read more

Judging by the reviews i read on here, i thought this would be a safe bet and cheap, but I paid $17 for a crappy 15 minute haircut. Trisha cut my hair - i showed her pictures in addition to telling her what i wanted, but i literally have lines on the side of my head from a poor fade. I told her not to take anything off the top, but she still did. If it were cheaper i wouldn't be upset with the quality, but $17 deserves a better haircut. They were perfectly friendly and it was clean, but i won't be coming back. read more

Faded club - The fade i received - Barbers Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

I'm not from the Madison area, so I was doubtful about getting a haircut by just any barber. I came across Isabel in the Faded Club and she did such a fantastic job. She was easy to talk to, patient, and listened to every little detail that I wanted for my cut. She did an splendid job. Would recommend 10/10! read more

Best fade/high and tight cut I've had done. Don is a friendly and courteous barber, he's very thorough and he seems like a strives to do good work. I think his prices are reasonable for Madison compared to others that I checked out. Some were $40 and above for a cut and beard trim which I thought was ridiculous. If you want a good fade, go to Don! read more

Five star haircut! Don is an incredibly skilled barber. He is great at what he does and works with you to get the cut you desire. I really appreciate his patience, he won't rush through your cut at all and takes his time to make sure it looks good. He even washed my hair for me. Best male barber in Madison and I will definitely be back. I left feeling confident and fresh read more

Asked for very short aides and back, leave the top long. He then shaved the top of my head right over my cowlick. Long story short it's the worst haircut I've ever gotten in Madison by far, and my hair is still un-styleable two weeks later. Avoid this man if you can help it. read more

Under no circumstance would I let my worst enemy near this place. This guy calls himself a barber, more like a butcher. I wouldn't trust this man with a safety scissors. read more

Your basic hometown barber shop. They seem to remember everyone, including names and stories. If all you need is a haircut, this place is cheap, fast, and friendly. read more

Wonderful group of men. Truly magical with a young boy and a pair of scissors. I'd been on a constant hunt for someplace to take my young son for haircuts from the time of his first cut to last year. On the recommendations of MANY neighbors I gave it a try. First haircut I've been happy with since his first one. My husband now also goes here - great, no-frills, nice people, and quality haircuts. A+! read more

I showed the barber a picture of what I wanted and got the complete opposite. If you are trying to get anything other than a crew cut or Ivy League, then this is not the place to go. Even though the picture explicitly showed the hair on top being longer (~2 inches), he immediately cut it down way shorter and proceeded to give me a decent, if not uneven, crew cut. Seemed like he was willing to do anything that took little time so he could get to in his next appointment. read more

Favorite Madison barber shop, have paid much more for a much worse looking haircut elsewhere. Parking on game days is a nightmare so keep that in mind. Three barbers work here, have gotten a good cut from all. read more

Don is a true professional that pays great attention to detail. Highly recommend you to check it out! read more

Faded club - Don is a true professional that pays great attention to detail! - Barbers Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

First: The place has changed hands in the past couple of years and there have been significant changes so IGNORE any reviews prior to about 2017. Even now there is no sign on the outside with the business name on it. TVs have been added, if you need aymore TV in your life which I do not. Totally new barbers. Second: The previous long time owner has sold the business and in his place are younger guys well endowed with attitude. Before I moved to Madison I would stop in when I could manage the time on a trip to "town". Friendly, good barbers, lots of customers. First time with the new guys after moving to Madison I was ignored when I walked in, even though one them was not busy. The place looked like a bad dream, messy, dirty, like they'd sneaked in while the real owner was out. So when I asked the cutter how much I owed after the cut and he sort of whispered "$15", I gave him a $5 pitty tip. Recently I was back, again one of them looked like he was just hanging around. After I sat down I got a sort of mini lecture on making appointments. I asked for a hair cut. Nothing fancy. He was done in under 10 minutes and when he was done he sprayed some sort of hair spray around. I could tell he did a crappy job and it was his way of making the uneven sections lie down and not be so obvious. He told me it would be $20. I smiled and said "See you next time" as I left. My real thought was, " I don't need to pay some guy who looks like an ex-con $20, for a crappy haircut AND has a bad attitude because i didn't make an appointment." If you don't take walk-ins say so on the door. Last time I looked there are lots of good barbers all over the city of Madison. If you have to go there remember they do not want walk-ins. Expect grudging service and a bad cut. I'm sorry because I used to like the place... read more

Wonderful Barber Shop! They are very quick and there is always a barber open for walk ins. Barbers are friendly and give excellent haircuts! There is no bike parking outside but you can lock your bike next door outside of hotel red. read more

Great cut and beard trim, very reasonably priced and easy to schedule appointments vial Yelp.

Solid place to go for a fairly priced and quick haircut. The barbers are great to talk to, especially if you like sports. Don't come here on game day since they'll be closed during. read more

He did a great job and you can tell he takes pride in his work. I actually arrived after closing and he still took me and a friend in for a cut. I would definitely recommend going. read more

Don gives the best haircut in Madison, hands down. He is super talented and will give you the look you want, but isn't afraid to give suggestions to make the cut perfect. He is also super friendly and inexpensive, especially for college students. read more

Easy to find shop on State st and has a variety of hours especially to accommodate my hectic schedule. Great attention to detail, sharp lines, solid fade. Don does great work. I'll be back. read more

Just got a beard trim from Don while visiting from Minneapolis. Hands down the best trim I've had had compared to others. Great attention to detail. Great technique. I wish he was in Minneapolis. read more

Don is as good of a barber as you will find, period. He's meticulous, creative, and friendly. And at $20 his haircut is a bargain! One of the best small businesses in Madison. read more

It is a throwback to my college days, the 1st place I had my haircut when I came to town. I still go there, since it is close to campus, friendly, quick and long term staff always gives good haircuts. You can count on having the daily newspaper available and people there that are in touch with the days events. It is next to another long time locally owned business that was the talk of the town 20 years ago and still a destination that people ask about if they know you have been in Madison. read more

My entire experience with Stadium Barbers was not good. The place has hair all over, and I do not even think they really make an attempt to sweep or vacuum very often. When it was my turn to get my hair cut, they did not even try to blow off the clippings off of my neck or scalp, so I ended up leaving with hair inside my shirt and all over my neck. Finally, the haircut itself was awful. The left side of my hair was about 1/2 of an inch longer than the right side, and the hair covering my forehead was very uneven - super short on the right side and about 1/2 inch longer on the left side. Overall, this was probably the worst haircut I have ever received. DO NOT go to Stadium Barbers if you are looking for a quality haircut. read more
