I made an appointment for a head shave which went very well. Fifteen minutes for a perfect head…read moreshave. I couldn't have been more satisfied. Next is the part where they failed me. It clearly states on their website that a head shave is $25.00. When it came time to pay, I asked how much. The barber who serviced me said $38.00. Rather than create a stink, I just paid. So 5 stars for the actual service and 0 stars for shaving my wallet as well. Honesty is Always the best policy.

I feel fortunate Karen is cutting hair. Since I've been getting my hair cut, over 64 years, I've…read morenever had a better or more consistent barber. Some complain about the price. I believe you get what you pay for and if you want to look like Moe of the Three Stooges, save the money and go to Mastercuts. They have bowls that would surely fit. As for me, I will go to Karen for as long as she is working and will pay her reasonable price to keep her in business...and I need all the help I can get to look presentable.

Had my first haircut at Pompetti Master Barber and it was an excellent experience. Karen did a…read morefantastic job. She took her time, paid close attention to how my hair naturally lays, and shaped everything with precision rather than relying on clippers alone. The result looks clean, natural, and easy to manage. She also listened to what I wanted, made thoughtful suggestions, and clearly takes pride in her craft. If you want a barber who really knows how to cut with scissors and give you a polished, tailored look, I highly recommend booking with Karen at Pompetti Master Barber.

Oscar did a…read moregood job both times he recently cut my hair (he's no longer there), but the last two were not so great. One of them (I don't recall his name) didn't listen to what I wanted and faded in the sides ... I had asked for a number 3 on the sides and a 6 on the top. Today I had Joey as my barber. I think my haircut took him about two or three minutes and he was extremely rough. I won't be asking Joey to cut it again. Other than that, this is an economical and speedy place for a cut.

Amazing experience! I was long overdue for a haircut and my beard was an overgrown mess because I…read morewas trying to grow it out to get reshaped after the last place butchered it. I've never been to American Shave before and I scouted them on Yelp before going. They had great reviews except for a couple negative comments about a guy named Maverick, but I was impressed with the owners commitment to follow up and make things right so I took a chance and went in as a walk in. I ended up getting a Signature Cut and Shave. The staff was friendly from the second I opened the door. The drink menu was a nice touch. I was greeted by my barber and when I sat he introduced himself; wouldn't you know...it was Maverick. At first I was a little concerned but that trepidation quickly went away. Maverick was awesome. He was professional. Did a stellar job. Carried on a great conversation over multiple topics. It wasn't long before we were laughing with each other like we were college buddies. His suggestions and attention to detailed were on point. Everyone else in the other chairs seemed to be having a pleasant experience too. The hair cut and beard trim was easily the best I ever received. If you're looking for a place to get a cut and shave from a clean, friendly place with competent barbers who know what they're doing then look no further than American Shave. And if you really want a great experience, ask for Maverick. Don't know why he had negative comments - I guess everyone is entitled to have one of those days. But based on my experience, he got hosed by someone looking for a freebie.
