To start things off and not to be snobby, I wish there would have been a sign on location or even…read morefrom the site saying"cash only". It delayed the time for me to get my cut as well as being a quick service. When going to a barber you would think a nice straight razor would be used for precision especially with all the clippers and everything laid out, instead the barber that took care of me used a 2 blade disposable razor and didn't even have the decency to clean my neck up after raising it a little which I still had to fix when getting home. His hand was a bit shaky as well. Thankfully my head or face aren't cut up but it's really a disappointment Honestly I don't see myself going back. I needed a haircut quick and my normal spot unfortunately didn't have any availability, wanted to try a new spot but was disappointed.

One of these expensive places where I'd get offered well whisky I didn't want and I'd have to entertain an untrained dog they kept around because it's edgy. I wasn't happy with the haircut there. It looked fine after the cut, but required a lot of maintenance: goop and comb and goop and comb. Then it grew out poorly and required lots more goop. Jim saw me and right away said "Who did this to you?! How am I going to fix this?!" Then he groaned a lot. It was great. He worked with me, offered suggestions, we talked through options, and I left very happy. He was even happy! Best part is that the cut now makes sense for the way my hair grows. It looks better with no taming necessary. I've been going to see him ever since and have no reason to look anywhere else anymore.

OK, so after reading all the Yelp reviews, I decided to take the plunge and check this place out…read more While going through the reviews, there were two things that stood out... A) Tony is a great barber B) A second mortgage might be needed to pay for the haircut Both were fairly true, though I didn't have to connect with my banker. I told Tony exactly how I wanted my hair cut and he NAILED it! The cut and the length were exactly what I wanted. He even readjusted my part - which very few barbers seem to bother with anymore. After I told him how I wanted it cut, he said, "you want a really good trim", which given my diminished scalp is typically what I am seeking but rarely seem to get. I've only had one other barber whose work I've been this satisfied with and sadly he retired (and passed away) a few years ago. Tony is among the best to be found without a doubt. Now, as for the cost. In looking at the reviews, I was seeing $37 as the high mark - but that was a couple years back, so I went in figuring it would be $40, maybe $42. Nope... $45. That's twice as much as I've paid the barber I've been seeing in recent times - who's a nice guy, but whose haircuts are not at Tony's level. So, will I go back? Yes. Will I go back as frequently as I'd like? I doubt it. My five star rating is based entirely on the quality of the haircut I received and my experience with Tony overall. If I were to factor in the cost, the real rating would be about 3 1/2 stars. So that's it in a nutshell - hope my review helps anyone who reads it to make the right choice for themselves.

I needed a haircut asap so I booked online a day before and was able to get cut before going into work this morning. There's free parking outside and across the street and you can pay with a card or cash. Not to mention, probably the best haircut I've got since moving to the area. I will be going here from now on.

While I had never booked an appointment before for a haircut but it was a pleasant change as my schedule can be hectic. When I arrived, Joshua acknowledged me right away as well as my appointment time. He was servicing another customer yet apologized that he was a bit behind which was alright for me. Everything in the shop is placed specifically to enhance the experience of the customer; from the music to the sports to the small area where kids can sit if needed. I was very pleased with his demeanor during the trim and efficiency in getting it done in a timely manner. Best of all, the cut of wife approved so it appears I have a new regular barber.

This is undoubtedly a rarity in the barbershop field and Fade City's ability to treat its customers in this way is truly a breath of fresh air. I have been getting my haircut with Freddie, Fade City Mayor, going on six years. However, I have great rapport with all the barbers. There is never a dull moment in the shop, as we are always consumed with conversation. Having this type of experience is what really makes Fade City unique. I would recommend this shop to anyone looking for not only a great haircut, but a great customer-focused experience.
