I requested a razor fade with a 8 on top with lineup. I arrived with styling gel in my hair, barber didn't ask to wash out my hair. Instead he tries to combs out the styling gel? Obviously that's gonna result in a bad haircut. He used an electric razor instead of straight razor, fade ain't even faded properly, still have hairs behind my ears & I had to tell him to use shaving gel on my line up. This jackleg barber charged me $45.31, for a $30 haircut? He claimed there's a "fee" for using your debit card. Yeah a fee of $1.08 not $15.31. In my opinion, he doesn't deserve a tip because of the poor quality of service. Best believe, I'm disputing these charges with my bank. I definitely would NOT recommend this jackleg barber. He'll give you a bad haircut that's overpriced. I'm not satisfied with the work, A female barber in college could have done better. Just sayin. read more

Illest Cuts - Hair behind ears. - Barbers Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

See all

Love the barbers at this barbershop! Renee is who I personally go to, he's good at taking time to make sure your hair is exactly how you want it. I was consistently asked if I wanted more off the top, if everything looked alright, if I wanted my mustache done etc. They have tvs, a PlayStation for the kids, multiple couches for anyone waiting, and an overall cool environment. Highly recommend read more

At nearly 9-years old, my son declared he was ready for his first haircut.t haircut. Being new to New Mexico, we had no idea where to go but on a whim, we stopped into Illest Cuts. And got... well... cut. This place is the "new" old-skool barbershop. It's a place where you can be a man (even at 8 1/2 years old). There are plenty of tattoos, fades, and beards- but a good cut is a good cut. Go in and ask for Orlando- you won't be disappointed! read more

Illest Cuts - Barbers Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Martin is the best barber in the shop by far I would highly recommend seeing him. He is very efficient and can do whatever it is you need. Also the owner DK is honestly trash and he plays garbage music. He is the only problem with the shop. read more

Made an appointment at 4:30 with Carlos and came a little early it was already past my appointment time and he sat someone else. Then told me to wait till he was done. Terrible service. read more

apparently phone appointments aren't real appointment literally wasted time I didn't have to waste. extremely unprofessional and rude.

My friend took her son recently and recommended this place. Ha! Not what I expected when I walked in, but I was very pleased. Very professional, a true barbershop with a real man presence. Daniel did an excellent job with my two boys, ages 9 and 5. He took his time and was very attention to detail. Such a reasonable price and value. I will be back. My kids were against haircuts at first, but both loved their cuts. read more

Illest Cuts - Mikey the Barber - Barbers Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

I am very shocked that this barbershop is even still in business I've been here twice now in the past month looking for a new barbershop each time I came in I sat for over an hour why there was multiple barber sitting there twiddling their thumbs each time I came in to the business I was told that a barber would be right with me well we determined that was a lie read more

I would recommend coming here, some of the best barbers in ABQ! The shop has a chill atmosphere and all the barbers are very nice. read more

First impression was great. I had visited there old location in the same shopping center and there new spot is by far a much needed upgrade. Sadly, this good feeling didn't last. My 1st visit left me a little undecided wether I'd visit again. But the hair cut was so good I had to give it a 2nd chance. And now that I have, I won't be continuing business with illest anymore. The issue isn't the haircuts, it's the people. Call me old fashion, but there shouldn't be vulgar language and crude jokes used around kids. Also ignoring a walk-in customer isn't good business. Fully understand the convenience of an appointment, but to not even acknowledge the customer is rude. Young barbers run the shop, maturity is needed. read more

Nest place in town BY FAR to get cleaned up! These guys will keep you looking fresh, and the service you get will keep you coming back! Walk ins or by appointment in this shop, convenient and friendly. I got to Jason, the owner, and my boys go to Jay. We always leave happy with our cuts. read more

Dude gave me the worst fade. Like from a 1 to a sudden 4. I've had great haircuts from two barbers there though.

The guy messed my hair up and tried to fix it and just made it worse. Once again, Albuquerque has yet another barber that doesn't know what the hell they're doing. read more
