Very good stylists. Great place for men to get haircuts, hair color etc. Spacious and welcoming place. Complimentary refreshments are available. read more

Groom For Men - Picture - Barbers Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Have gotten my haircut there for years and if in a bind and needing a haircut, they simply say sorry we are booked for almost a month - as a first responder and had to cancel once and now am going elsewhere - there was such lack of sincerity when I called that I should have left them a long time ago. I even followed them when they closed Shorewood. That's what I get for allegiance. read more

Please spare the embarrassment and do not go here. What i thought would be a great clean up with a fun environment serving beers and soda before the cut, turned into a disaster. My hair stylist Kacey, who was so incredibly nice which I really enjoyed talking with her, really had no vision for what I wanted. I asked for a trim of the top and to clean up the back; even suggested a mid taper fade but told her I trust her (mistake #1). She ended up cutting my sides so short and didn't even taper it for the sake of the (shape). Not sure if she knew how too. Again sweet human but a really bad haircut. Had to go to a barber to try and salvage what was left for a wedding I'm going to this weekend. Please, don't go here. read more

Groom For Men - Barbers Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Grew my hair out from a crew cut for about a year after having many styles. Finally decided to go in as it grew out uneven from the crew cut and showed multiple images of pictures from the past for the style I wanted. All I have to say is I'm very upset that my hair is now gone after a year of growth and I have nothing to show for it. All kinds of lengths covering my head. She put 10x more effort into washing my hair than actually cutting it. She seemed drunk, and honestly might've been as the workers were taking shots at the front desk as I left. I've been to quite a few salons and this is easily the worst haircut I've had. Going to get it fixed asap. If you want an overpriced fade go here. If you have nice hair and care about it, go somewhere else. read more

One of the coolest places in Milwaukee. Service is unparalleled!! If you want to treat yourself this is the place to go.

Decent haircut but overall pretty unfriendly and don't seem to care to retain business. Going elsewhere moving forward

Not really worth the price..... i'm all for paying good money for a nice haircut, but both recent cuts have not been good. Nice place, friendly people and good care, but stylists do not perform. Not too interested to go in and see if the 3rd time's the charm. read more

Recently moved to MKE from Chicago and been on the lookout for a decent spot to get a cut. I called to make an appointment (this is the only way to book), and was given a date and time a week out. Fine: As I am about to leave the day of, I receive a call from Groom asking if I will be making it to my appt. I said I was walking out the door. they inform me the appt on their books shows 20 minutes before I believe it was supposed to be, and I should have received a text (I did not). I let the person know it doesn't matter who is right about the booking. I apologized for the misunderstanding, and let her know I live around the corner and can be there in 10 minutes; This is late morning to provide a time frame. She informs me there is no possible way I can be worked in with the person I was scheduled with, or anyone else for the rest of the day. She then asks if I would like to reschedule for next week. This person had the some of the worst customer service I have experienced; snooty, not helpful, and blunt. Not only was Groom unwilling to be flexible, they closed me off as a potential new customer. I quickly realized I was getting nowhere, and the person said in an effort to get me off the phone, "well there is nothing that can be done today, I can book you for next week if you want." I explained I didn't have my schedule in front of me. I then offered feedback for Groom to implement online booking, so customers could easily find an open date/time advantageous for both parties. I was told it's "just something they have never had and they are staying plenty busy without it." That was it for me, I probably would have rebooked for a later date if I wasn't treated like another number. Unfortunately Groom lost my business before they ever even gained it. Best of luck, but apparently they don't need it. read more

Great staff, nice environment, but most importantly an amazing hair cut. Would highly recommend

WOW! So I booked a haircut and beard trim as a surprise for my babe (who was feeling extra down after accidentally poking his eye while doing housework and ended up with a nasty corneal abrasion that derailed our weekend plans) all via email and Anna was super quick and responsive. She was detailed enough to make sure my phone number was on the confirmation alerts so that the surprise wasn't blown early. Walking into the shop - he literally gasped. I think the nicest place he'd ever gotten a haircut was a "if you pay cash it's only $8" joints. He also has never had a professional beard trim... let alone the scalp massage, purple shampoo, hot towel, facial mist, moisturizer. LOL. It was done so well and no so over the top and fussy because obviously it's tailored towards men - but I recognized their full line of Kevin Murphy on the back bar. He even commented the shampoo smelled familiar - it's what I use at home! His stylist, who I am so upset I can't remember her name, was amazing. Super detailed! Explained everything to him - made sure to ask him a lot of questions. He was in heaven! I sat and waited for him and observed nothing but five star service provided - from the beverage station that was STOCKED to the amazing line of products that was expertly curated. The balm he was recommended is exactly what suits him and is easy to use (and I can't stop sniffing him!). I wish we lived in MKE - this would 100% his go to spot and I would love to pop in with him just to take in the ambiance! Keep up the amazing work gals! read more

I have to say I did not get my hair cut here but my son did and I paid for it...so I say I get to review it! First of all Groom is located on the fringe of the Third Ward across the street from the Public Market which makes it an awesome location if you A.) Live in the Third Ward/Downtown or B.) Plan on having dinner or lunch in the Ward afterwards. I scheduled my son to get his haircut very easily by giving them a call, I do wish they had online scheduling because with my schedule that would make it so much easier. However I digress making the appointment was very easy. Even though it is located in the 3rd Ward it was easy finding a parking spot. They have a small lot behind their building and there is also a pay lot right behind it so parking is easy-peasy. When you walk in the first thing you notice is the very cool decor. Imagine dark woods, industrial elements, and music. They also have a coffee, beer area if you would like a drink while waiting or getting your hair-cut (cool touch). Allison cut our son's hair and I love the fact that even though he is 15 she really took the time to talk to him about what he wanted, his grooming regimen, and to talk about what she was going to do. An hour later he walked out washed, cut, styled and trimmed eyebrows (thank goodness). His hair looked amazing and he was more than happy with how it turned out! The only thing that could make this place better is a more comfortable waiting area. They have a huge check in desk and then high top chairs around a counter for patrons. If you are waiting on son, hubby or other patrons the seating can get a little uncomfy....but other than that.... we loved it! read more

Margo was excellent. Great personality, and I loved the haircut. Newcomers get a complimentary upgrade, which I also recommend.. I'll be coming back. You should give it a try. read more

With a grin and a laugh, I'm going for TMI here. I can't comment on the haircuts given here, as anyone who knows me is aware that I shave my head every few days. Given the cost of a good set of clippers vs the cost of a "professional" head shave...I'm not in that tax bracket. What I do appreciate, however, is their waxing. Now, I'm not a hairy guy by any stretch of the imagination. I don't have a sweater under my t-shirt, and the backs of my hands don't like Teen Wolf. However, summer weather is shirtless weather, and I like to be a minimalist. The staff here is definitely on the trendy side. I will note that there wasn't a single employee sporting a bad hair style. I had this thing (back when I had my hair like Mark McGrath) about letting anyone bald or with awful styles touch your head. It's just inviting bad karma. They all looked good in their own ways, and everyone was uber friendly. I didn't partake in the beverage offer but it was a nice touch (yeah, it's a throwaway expense for them, but it elevates the level of their process...smart) and the open air of the place without looking like they were a front for selling Paul Mitchell was welcoming. My back waxing procedure was what you'd expect in process (nothing like the 40 Year Old Virgin) and the waxer (waxist?) was friendly and chatty and warned me that it may hurt (been there, done that) but did a very thorough job. No burns, bleeds or hurt feelings. If I was a chest-waxing kinda guy, I'd repeat the process. For the $40 plus tip that I spent, it was well worth the time and experience. I'll be back again (once before the summer, once at the tail end). And I highly recommend some of you other guys consider this at least three or four times a year. read more

We had an awesome time at groom with a large group ahead of a wedding. Upon arrival we were greeted by a friendly, but a bit sassy, hostess. In retrospect, the sassy ness was both fun and needed to keep a large group of slightly inebriated men in line. We quickly started getting called for our services which varied from haircuts to shaves. Those who were waiting were able to enjoy what was essentially an open bar. The overall atmosphere was very friendly and fun. The haircuts were awesome. It may be the best haircut I have ever received and others felt the same. Several of us also got our "noses waxed" - it is as weird as it sounds but was not painful and oddly satisfying. Give it a try. I can't give five stars and debated even four because we had at least one really bad shave. They really cut my brothers face up badly and while they did their best to stop the bleeding and clean it up, you can't undo so many large cuts. A couple of guys did get great shaves and all loved the facial massage that went with the shave but having one guy get his faces cut up on the day of his brothers wedding is a big error. Overall, would come back but unless you are confident in the woman doing the shave, I recommend sticking to the haircuts. read more

Super bummed about spending $50 here to get a haircut that didn't match what I asked for and a cut up neck. I ended up with a haircut that looks good and fine, except that it doesn't align with what I mentioned and showed photos of- specifically wanting the top shorter than usual. The top of my hair wasn't touched, and before I could say anything there was shaving cream on my neck and product in my hair. I did say that it seemed too long and was told the plus side is that I get to have more haircuts. Nice people but didn't feel like my preference or concerns were of any mind, but getting me out quickly was. read more

See all

I'm a recent L.A. transplant and kinda picky about who cuts my hair, so I gotta say that Theri is an amazing talent and a fantastic person who really knows her stuff and cares about getting it right the first time. No need to look further guys, really! read more

They always do an amazing job great service and if your unhappy they make it right. I moved back to Milwaukee for about 5 months and they picked right up where they left off. Great way to treat yourself. read more

I really enjoy going to Groom to get my hair cut. All of the staff and barbettes are really friendly. They have compliant let drinks during your service as well. The store is also dog friendly, as there always seem to be one or two walking around in the store. The only reason for 4/5 stars is the price of the cuts which can be a bit steep for a haircut. But they do offer free parking right next to the store, which is hard to offer in the third ward. read more

Yesterday my husband went to this salon for a haircut, but he came home with his haircut unfinished !!! Seriously, if you can charge $45 for men haircut and still leave hair uncut... then my question is what kind of "professionals" work in your salon?? Timmeka was the girl who cut his hair. If we would live in Milwaukee I personally would bring him back and would ask to finish his hair cut. Please don't think that all people are blind and no one cares what they pay for!!! I hope this message will reach the owner of this company so he can evaluate "professional" who works for him. So disappointed. read more

As good as it gets and more. I found out about this place when I moved to Milwaukee for law school. I was always a old-school barbershop $15 haircut guy my whole life, so it was difficult for me to justify paying $35 for a haircut at first. But, I figured what the hell, I might as well try it. Well, that chance I took on this place was one of the best decisions I've made in a while. The people who work at this place are awesome. I've always been greeted with a smile and left with a smile. The ladies are down-to-earth, attentive to detail, and leave you looking most excellent. I haven't had nearly as many compliments from any other place that I've gotten my hair cut. Also, you get a minty shampoo and scalp massage with your haircut, which honestly feels so ridiculously amazing, that it's worth the extra price alone (nevermind the whole leaving-with-hair-that-looks-so-good-people-will-wonder-if-you-are-some-sort-of-deity thing). Alison has been cutting my hair since day 1 and she is awesome. I thought about not including her name on here due to a potential increase in popularity making it more difficult for me to schedule appointments, but she deserves all of it. Great job, Alison. I have since graduated law school and moved back to Chicago, but I feel fully confident in saying that I still plan on driving up to Milwaukee for my haircuts and very much look forward to it. read more

I've only recently entered the world of getting real haircuts, and I have to admit, while the price point is much higher than going to supercuts or greatclips, it is worth every cent. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere is trendy and professional. I was greeted right away, and helped by their professional and friendly staff. I have been holding off on this review until I had a chance to be taken care of by another staff member, and Groom has cemented my loyalty to their salon. I've got somewhat hard hair to work with, with colicks and random waves everywhere, and I rarely go home from a haircut without feeling like I need a to touch it up on my own once my hair settles back into it's natural state. Both of the stylists I've had clearly knew exactly how to handle my hair, and took the time to not only converse with me, but ask me questions and offer clear advice on how to maintain the look they provided, without pushing products. I feel confident that if my usual stylist isn't in, that anybody that is available will be able to give me the same professional and precise care and service that has become their standard and staple. They offer full shampoo/massage service, as well as hot towels and shaves, and it might be the most relaxing thing I've done all winter. I highly recommend Groom, and every man should go at least once, as this isn't just a haircut, it's an experience. read more

I've been getting my hair cut at Groom for probably 7 years now, and the one time I went to one of those $15 hair cut places, I regretted it. Crystal is the ONLY person that I'll let cut my hair. I live in Waukesha and work in Brookfield, and still insist on going to Groom. You certainly get what you pay for at Groom. While it may not be "cheap" to get a hair cut here, you should know that when you walk through the door. If you want a quality haircut and style (plus shampoo and shave), Groom is the best. I highly recommend it, and if you can schedule with Crystal - she's the best! read more

Great vibe, cool ladies cutting hair, perfect location in the 3rd ward for jetting out to a cocktail afterwards,. Best haircut I have ever had, ask for Mariah read more

Been going here for years. Followed them through three moves to the 3rd Ward. Gladly stayed with them through the years as my hair needs changed from styling a full head of hair to eliminating hair growing where I don't want it. But, alas their prices have become too high. My last visit I paid $70 plus tip for nose/ear waxing and cleaning up my neck. Aaargh! Tried to raise a WTF with the owner, Theri, through the salon's email, but got no response. I mentioned my dissatisfaction to the woman who called to confirm my next appointment, which I cancelled. She clearly had no clue on how to handle my concern, so she put me on hold where I sat for a few minutes before I figured out I had hit a dead end. Oh well... time to move on to a new salon. I'm learning that reciprocal customer-business loyalty is a thing of the past. read more

Fir I've been going to Groom for a little over 4 years. This was my first visit with Jeana Marie. She is fantastic, great personality, naturally pleasant, great smile and extremely knowledgeable in all aspects. Fantastic service positively wonderful 5 stars for Jeana Marie. read more

This was my second attempt at getting a hair cut at this place by walking in. My first attempt they had an opening, but it was 2-3 hours later in the day. My second attempt was at 7:00pm, an hour before they close. I walk in and the nice lady behind the counter said that they closed early so the stylists could take a class in house. In my opinion if you're going to have a class it should be done after business hours, not during. It sounds like an employer that is trying to get out of paying their employees an extra hour of pay. My biggest complaint is that they are pricey! With being in the military i am use to getting a complete clipper cut that takes maybe 10 minutes and costs about $10. They want almost $40 to do the same kind of a hair cut. If you are like Fabio and need the extra treatment, then check this place out. read more

The atmosphere is welcoming and comfortable. The staff enjoy providing excellent customer service, which is getting more difficult to find these days. There was no sense of judgement, and the eclectic group of patrons present during my visit were part of the charm! Come in and get pampered a bit. Men deserve to relax too! read more

I started coming here when I was living in the 3rd Ward Milwaukee. I now live live in Madison, but everytime I visit MKE now, I think to myself "Do I have time to get a haircut?". I don't even like getting haircuts, so the fact that I'm willing to schedule an appointment for one an hour away must mean something! The reasons I'm such a fan are a casual & fun vibe, good customer service, and Amy (the stylist I almost always see) nails it everytime. She takes the time everytime to do a great job and she's a blast to talk to (no uncomfy "how's the weather" small talk conversations with her!). When Amy hasn't been available, I've seen other stylists and they've done solid jobs as well. I've always walked out of there happy with the cut and the experience, which for something I don't really enjoy doing, is awesome. There are cheaper options out there, but in my opinion, it's totally worth the extra bucks for an overall great experience. read more

Groom is the best place in Milwaukee for a guy to get his hair cut. The stylists are some of the best in the area, but more importantly... they're fun to chat with. And come on... a haircut is equally about the conversation. The only reason why I didn't give Groom 5 stars is because the prices are higher than I'd really WANT to pay, but are in line with the other places on the Eastside. Actually, when you compare to some of the others like Halo and Beauty... Groom is often cheaper. Plus, you feel very manly when you go there... which is a bonus when going to a "hair stylist." read more

You will not find a better barbershop experience than what Groom delivers every day. The key word above is "experience". Groom does not move you in and out of their chairs like parts on an assembly line. They have cultivated a very unique environment where you feel like you just walked into a room full of great friends, good beer and of course meticulously trained lady barbers at the top of their game. Give Groom a try if you haven't and if you have, I'm sure I'll see you there in the future! read more

Fantastic cuts, and always a great shave too. Go check out the newly remodeled digs! We've been going to Groom for more than ten years. Remember when it was on Milwaukee St.? I think Cubanitas is there now. Their St. Paul location is my favorite of the bunch, and they've recently remodeled and claimed all of the parking spaces in back as their own. Where else can you go in the Third Ward, and have free parking?! Until a few months ago I had always my hair cut by Erica -- but have recently switched to Theri. Not because of bad cuts, just for a change of hair scenery, technique and variety. Both ladies cut excellent hair and are recommended. Since graduating into the bearded masses a few years ago, I have been getting shaves & beard trims from Crystal. Just awesome. And yea -- if you are thinking of altering your neckline yourself, just don't. Have a professional take care of that and your beard will be much happier. Some people freak out at the prices, but like folks say -- you get what you pay for. Plan to make appointments in advance, like any other salon. I'm pointing at other Yelpers who are giving a negative review due to lack of walk-in availability. This isn't Cost Cutters or Sport Clips, folks. Their reservation system now has text messaging hooks -- you get a text a few days to confirm your appointment, and then another reminder about three hours before your appointment. Happy Hair Days ahead! P.S. Find Jeff and I in the beard book P.P.S. There is beer in the fridge. read more

The first time I came here it was because I was treated to it. I had a rough couple of months with personal loss, and it was awesome. I had never had my head massaged or shoulders rubbed! Then I started coming here in earnest, my requirement for a hair place to be that they use a straight edge razor for shaving. While Groom isn't cheap, it is definitely worth the money. Great quality, professional staff, great environment and they (for the most part) cater to the male audience. Been seeing Nicki for years. It's always like a tiny little spa treatment, just enough to take away the stresses of the day. Go once or come often, but you'll be happy either way. read more

Everyone is super friendly and helpful. I've had two separate haircuts from two different barbettes and both have been equally amazing. Prices are also great and the location is super convenient. Would and have recommended to everyone. read more

Most expensive and one of the worst cuts I have ever had. Pricing is borderline a robbery and the girl cut a chunk out of the side of my hair. I told her I thought she cut too close and she said that my hair was just thinner in that spot.... I know my own hair I see it every fricking morning. The worst part was then giving her $60 for a cut I could have got from a dog groomer. Avoid this place, much better options downtown. read more

I have been going to Groom for nearly 8 years and getting my haircut by Carly for 6.5 years now. Being that I have alopecia, cutting my hair can be a little tricky. Sometimes I have big spots, sometimes I have little spots and it is something I have truly struggled with my entire life (since about 5 years old). No matter what my current situation is, Carly is able to give me a fresh cut and help me keep confidence within myself (and my head). Carly is the best and worth every single penny that I've spent at Groom. Oh, and they give you beer and all that stuff, but most importantly you're going to get the best haircut and best customer service Milwaukee has to offer in a haircut. You're the #1 homie Carly and the rest of y'all at Groom. read more

Great people / great service! Got my haircut from Lauren - I recommend her. She is knowledgable and had some great styling tips.

Erika is a total pro! She'll give you clean lines, precise layers, or a perfect fade (in my case, all three). And she's always got a smile for you. read more

I have been seeing Erica (co-owner) for haircuts probably for the past (at least) 10 years. I have been going to her for so long I can't even remember how long it's been. While Groom is a "men's" salon I have never felt unwelcome or unwanted. I started bringing my children when they were old enough to care about their haircuts and now they both go to Erica. My youngest will see a couple of the other stylists if we have to finagle time constraints with our appointments and each cut he's ever gotten he has loved! With respect to the pricing... as with anything of quality you pay for what you get. I love the service we receive each and every time we are there. I have always been treated with respect as have my boys. I can't imagine taking my hair or my business anywhere else. I love this place! Erica has always been able to do exactly what I ask with my haircuts and has taken me from pixie to shoulder length back to pixie and now we're going back to long... today's appointment was no exception! Top notch and well worth every penny! read more

Had an awesome experience today. Carly is the best. Took her time and did an amazing job. This place is first class and you will feel very pampered. read more

Groom For Men - Awesome Job - Barbers Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Where to start?! I've been coming to Groom for about 4 years now. Before Groom I would usually cut my own hair or go to the cheapest chain I could find. My hair was never a priority. I stumbled upon Groom when a friend recommended that I give it a try. He told me about all the services they offer and that it would be worth the $. He also mentioned you can enjoy a drink during your visit. Free beer will get me every time! They offer a great variety of local beer and there is usually something different every time I come in. Gotta love that! Anyways, on to the haircut services. I've had the pleasure of being set up with Ashley R. since day one. She's very professional and she's just downright amazing. I've never left there unhappy. I always leave looking better than I did going in. I guess that's the point right? She's very precise at each service she provides and she has a great personality. Very kind and easy to talk to. Makes the haircut go by fast. I can't say enough about her. The rest of the staff are great as well. From the front desk to the assistants. Keep up the good work! If you are hesitant on trying Groom, just try it once. You'll thank yourself later. The environment is very laid back. They make you feel comfortable as soon as you walk in the door. I highly recommend Ashley R. She'll take good care of you. read more
