There are a few types of barber shops in Scranton. There arthem the overly aggressive, hipster…read morebarber shops, "salon style" barber shops, then there is Mackerel's. Mack has done a great job setting the place up to feel like a classic barbershop. You can tell he takes pride in his work. I went there for the first time in May after trying several barbers in the Scranton area and feeling disappointed every time. I needed to find a good barber before my wedding in June and this was my last chance. I've never had a better experience anywhere. I showed Mack a picture my (then) fiance had picked out and he went to work. I've never felt so confident leaving the barber shop before. I didn't even have to send her a picture to know it was perfect. Honestly, I'll never go anywhere else for a cut as long as I'm in NEPA. By far the most comfortable, friendly barber shop in the area.

He took the time to understand exactly what I wanted, paid attention to every detail, and executed everything flawlessly. The cut was sharp, clean, and tailored perfectly--and the shave? Smooth, precise, and seriously relaxing. If you're looking for a barber who knows what he's doing and actually cares about the end result, Mason is your guy. I walked out feeling fresh, confident, and already looking forward to my next visit.

First time I have been to this place for a hair cut I read…read morethere reviews and expect for 1 review they were good but I have to agree with the 1 reviewer That got it right. The guy who cut my hair had the personality of a rock I tried to make conversation but he wasn't having any of it. And I know he was capable of conversation because the guy in the chair before me bullshited with him for his whole cut but I believe they knew each other. So if your a stranger expect a very quiet hair cut you will most likely not like. I was not happy with mine but he makes you feel so uncomfortable you just want to get the hell out of there. I could have done a better job myself with a flobee and a cracked mirror. So remember guys there much better barbers in the area that have a personality

Now if your expecting a quick go in and out in 10 minutes then this isn't the place. The barbers take a little time and do it right! And they have a good clientele.
