We are traveling through and needed two barber-style hair cuts. We're both very happy with the attention to detail of the fades we got. Can easily and highly recommend. The place is very clean, well appointed, and friendly service. They accept Venmo and Zelle as well as cash for payment. Thanks for such fast and quality service. read more

Great service. Walked in and everyone was welcoming. Good vibe. Highly recommended for locals and visitors alike.

Always great haircuts here at the Metropolitan Barber Shop - courtesy of Tina. She's awesome!!! She's been here for years. Her hair cutting is skilled. Especially low fades! read more

I have been taking my almost 4 year old African American son here and Tina always does such a great job!

Don't come here! Took forever, was going back and fourth from her phone. And half the time she's not even doing anything, she's just running the machine through your hair though clearly not cutting anything. Waste of my time for sure. read more

Tina gives an absolutely perfect haircut! I've been going to her for several years and she never disappoints

I asked to have french crop and she gave me bare/ bald cut the thing is worse if I have to pay 35 bucks for that read more

Tina is just too erratic, if you don't speak in terms of use a #4 or #7 or whatever, she either doesn't understand or can't do a haircut that's not based on that scale. I've been scalped by her too many times now, I've gone back thinking well, this time I will REALLY stress I want it left fairly long, just clean up the ears and the neck mostly - you can always cut it more another time. But that is not clear enough for her. The new lady is actually ok and when I went yesterday wanted to get her again but, when my turn came up she had disappeared and I got Tina, and as above really stressed to leave it LONG. I've got fine thinning hair which looks fine if not cut to look like I'm going into the military. Go to Nicole at the chain place by Home Depot and that pet store on Colfax by 6th, she's terrific but also has a line always. My impatience cost me a week or two of wearing a hat. read more

I just got a really great cut here. Tina is a very skilled professional and worth the $30 plus tip for a standard business type cut for sure! She went all the way down with the razor for the neck and edges and it looks and feels great. There were a couple people in front of me but the wait was minimal. Cash only, but there's atm's near by. I will be back! read more

Dan is a great barber. Old school and great style. He enlightened me that the "high and tight" haircut I had ben getting was just a cheapo excuse for a clean classic haircut. read more

Homeboy knew exactly what to do. I came in with a mullet mowhawk from hazing and this haircut was phenomenal. Would recommend read more

Best haircut in Golden and most affordable for the great service!! Tina shaves your neck and eyebrows with haircut and sometimes, if time allows will give you a neck message if requested!! read more

I and my son with the short hair go here. Great straightforward yet friendly atmosphere. Clean, bright. Seldom a long wait. Cons: They do not accept credit/debit cards. They like giving straightforward short boy/men cuts, do not expect great results if your kid wants to be fancy. read more

Metropolitan Barber Shop is my local barbershop, and therefore I think it's the best. What, you want more? Fine. It's conveniently (for Goldenites) located in downtown Golden. The prices are good, a bit better than Supercuts, say, but mostly equivalent. But it's the people that make Metropolitan Barber Shop, in my opinion, the best barber shop in Golden. Lily, one of the two main barbers, has excellent skill and takes the time to get your cut right. I don't know his name, but the main male barber (who I believe is an owner, and has been cutting hair for years) is likewise excellent. They also use a straight-razor at the end of the cut, mixing up their own warm lather, to finish off sideburns and back of the neck. If you're lucky and/or they're not busy, they also do a brief shoulder and neck massage after the haircut! I've been coming here for three years now, and every time I go to other barbers in the area it never lives up to the cut I get here. read more

The best... I'm from out of State read the 5 star review and went in. My lady barber was the best, finished with a great hot shave, then a hand message too for my neck and shoulders !! Never before did I get a message with a great cut.. if I lived here this place is it. read more

I just sat in my car and cried after I left here. I've been growing my hair out for 3 years and went in for a neck shave. She shaved off more than an inch around my ears and the side of head. I look ridiculous. I have to cut all of my hair off now. 3 years down the drain because I took 5 minutes to walk in here. I'm literally beside myself I'm so upset. read more

I've been coming here for over 10 years. Solid old fashioned haircut. Your minister and your bartender will both say you're looking sharp.

I've been here twice...sorta. First time worked out well with me and my kids. Second time, there were several people in front of me in line, so I signed in and stayed a bit to figure out how long a cut took, then said I'd be back, which seemed like it was fine. That is, i got and acknowledgement and I wasn't told I had to stay there. When I came back, I was told "you lost your place." I thought he was saying that everyone in front of me had gone, but when I looked, there was still one cut in front of me. So I asked about this and was just told "I don't save places!" in a not-so-nice tone. The guy was really a jerk about it. I really didn't understand why that was the policy. I mean, why bother having a sign in if it's really just a line? I get the whole cash only, not dealing with reservations thing, but apparently you're only worthy if you wait in the chair the whole time. Might've been nice if he explained that in the first place. I really get it: your business, your rules. But no need to be such a jerk about it. So, I left. I suspect he doesn't care. And that's the problem. Guess I know where to not waste my time in the future. read more

Tina is great and a good value. Me and my three boys have been getting our haircut here for a few years. You can't make reservations, but usually not too long of a wait. read more

In and out in 20 minutes. Showed Tina a picture of what I wanted and it was so. Finished neck and sideburns with straight razor and followed with quick shoulder massage. Very meticulous and very quick. Very good value for 15.00. ***Cash or Check only*** read more

I take my son to Tina when I am able because she gives him the best haircuts. Great Value and Great Service!

You will always get a good cut here! Once I found this place I can't go back to the mystery hair cuts from the chain stores.

Is zero a number? This guy just wants to argue. According to him he's been cutting hair for 44 years. Probably so because he only wants to cut hair his way. Don't bother with this place. read more

Asked for her to cut less than an inch off the top, and she cut almost 4 inches off the top, leaving less than an inch behind. I could have done better myself. Unless you're in for haircut roulette, go elsewhere read more

Nothing terrible about this barbershop but just a warning...the Asian woman who cuts hair here doesn't know what a bald fade is. I get a bald fade with a 3 on top. It's pretty simple. She didn't get it. I said every word I could, like "bald", "skin", "zero", "nothing", on the sides...and the 3 on top should need no explanation. At one point she said "two?" for the top, even though the number two had not even been spoken at all. She then did a quick 3 1/2 on top and a 1 1/2 on the sides, no fade, no bald. She asked how it was and I said good, as I just wanted to go get it fixed somewhere else at this point. She then said "next time just say 3 1/2 and 1 1/2". In my head I said "No I'm not gonna say that next time because that's not what I wanted in the first place!" But to her I actually just said OK thanks. I guess I can't go to this barbershop. read more

I have been going to this place for about 5 years. All the barbers are good. I like Tina the best as do most patrons. She does not speak English too great, but knows how to cut hair. I imagine the big box hair places have some good stylists, but its a crap shoot going there. With this place, I know what I am getting, and the haircut is good. read more

The woman who runs metro barber is hands down the most skilled barber I've come across. I am extremely picky about my barber, and toured half the barbers from evergreen to lakewood looking for a good one- and this is hands down the best I found. Expect long lines, and insist the asian lady (the owner of the barber shop) cut your hair- let someone else go to the assistant barber she usually has around. Plan to have the cut itself take awhile too. Just know in advance of exactly what you want- you'll get precisely what you ask for. read more

I call this place "haircut with happy ending" because Tina always finishes with a straight razor shave and shoulder massage. Consistently great men's cuts, local place, and has convenient hours. I'll keep coming here until one of myself or the barber dies! read more

My son and I went to get our hair cut. I asked her to give my son's hair a trim and mentioned that he has a cowlick in the back and please leave the hair as long as possible. She insulted my request and the previous haircut/barber. She buzzed the hair almost to the skin and did not leave the area in the back long. She attempted to smooth down the cowlick area and then proceeded to buzz that area even shorter. This was not what I wanted at all. She acted very put out that I would not let her cut my hair. We will not be back. What a waste of $16! read more

Do not go here. Tina started out just fine, but about 5 min. into the haircut she answers the phone. Instead of just taking a short call she puts in an ear piece and continues to talk during the entire haircut. It was a little hard for me to see what she was doing, but after a really long time (about 25 min.) I came to see she had basically given me a buzz cut. Not what I was looking for. Along the way, she applied cold shaving cream to my face, shaved off the sideburns without asking as well as my cheeks, which gave me an unexpected goatee. While doing this she stayed on the phone the entire time. At the end of the haircut, and without ending her call, I mentioned that it was shorter than I asked for. Rather than asking what she could do to make it right, she just started arguing. Maybe if she paid a little more attention to customers and spent less time on personal calls, she would do a better job. read more
