I have now gone to Mike's Barbershop a few times and feel I have a semi-good grasp on the shop. Now, this is NOT like Sports Clips or any of those other chain hair cutting establishments. This is a legit Barbershop, with people who love to cut, style and shave hair. Cuts: For myself, I usually do a low fade, skin on the sides, and a trim up top. This does leave a lot of room for imagination as I have never had the same haircut. The barbers will change the length they cut and the level for "low", but I have never been disappointed with a cut here. Shave: I have done the shave once and won't do it again. I have extremely sensitive skin and the gentlemen who gave me mine really hurt my skin and neck. It's probably fine for those who don't have skin like a tissue, but alas I do. I NEED TOUGHER SKIN DARN IT! Atmosphere: Like I said in the beginning, this is a legit Barbershop with the old school chairs, the attitude that makes you feel rushed but cared for, and just a no non-sense approach. I love it. I don't have to make appointments but they do have that option. They have chairs available and wait times that are appropriate. If you're looking for a new barber, I would recommend their services! read more

I went in for a beard cleanup, as it was posted on their website. When I asked the barber Maria, what a beard cleanup was, she explained it to me. I agreed and she started doing my beard cleanup. Then a guy who stated he was the manager told me there is no such service. He told me I would be paying full price. Of course, I agreed because she had already started. But if you're going to post something on your website, as a manager, it is your duty to uphold that services price. Very bad experience! Very disappointed! The barber did a great job, but the services is rendered were not the services requested. Shame on that manager! read more

Never again. For a "barber shop" there seems to be a lot of people cutting hair that only has a cosmetologist license and not an actual barber one. Learn to spot the color difference on their license. 50.00 for a cosmetologist to give me a great clips clipper cut?!? NO THANKS! read more

Nigel is a competent and likable barber at Mike's Barbershop. I'm happy with every haircut he's done for me. Last week I watched him give a little boy his first haircut. The boy was all smiles and so was his dad when he climbed down from the chair. Good job Nigel! read more

Saturday Aug 10th walked in at 4:23pm to get my son a haircut. Only one customer in the place getting a haircut with no one in line. The employee in first chair looks at his watch and said they're closed, when the sign on the door said 5pm. Mind you he was available with no one in his chair. I could understand if it was 5:55 but to turn away business with roughly 40 minutes left during normal business hours is outrageous. I've been coming here for 5-6 years now and never had this problem. I am not happy with the his experience read more

Asked for a low skin fade: came out with a mid fade on one side and a high fade on the other and it's not even faded in correctly. Now I have to wear my hats until I can fix this. If I could give zero stars I would. Never coming here again. read more

Went in for the first time today and had an older Hispanic gentleman cut my hair absolutely messed it up then threw on a bunch of gell and told me that my hair would be unmanageable without gell. That being said I've had short cut hair with no gell for going on 9 years obviously a way to hide mistakes I won't every be back honestly want a refund read more

This is the absolute worst barber I have been to by a mile. The customer service was not only rude but disrespectful. The haircut itself was impressive as butchering it further would have been a feat. With full reference images and key terminology used this comedians masterpiece got laughs out the door with my luscious locks. My regular barber was busy and found this place was the only one not booked out... I now see why. Next time I will use a saw and mirror when in a pinch to get a better result. Please see attached image for a laugh. read more

Got a cut from Brandon who did an expert fade job. I always get a medium skin fade, the hard part, and trim the tips on top. Brandon sat me down and got to work, no BSing around. I am the type of person that could care less about loyalty to one barber, as I try to get in and out of a barbershop because I am always in a hurry. Brandon has changed my thoughts on this. Odds are the next time I stop by for a cut I will seek out Brandon however, time is money and I might have to opt for someone else, but I will try. I really appreciated the military discount too! Brandon made for great conversation and overall I had an excellent experience at this barbershop. I will be back. read more

I've been going to this barber shop for three years. However, now that Kristen is no longer there, I'll have to move on. I found out that she no longer works there when I entered and was subjected to, I believe, Jesse (?), who was more concerned about sports than my hair. He grabbed my head like a football and hit me several times with his comb. Then, to my surprise, decided to use clippers on my back and shoulders! That's a job my wife usually does. I think this lummox should be searing sheep than working on the public masses. They wouldn't let me know where Kristen moved to. If one of you who reads this knows where she is, please let me know. And if Mike, the owner, is reading this...buy Jesse a pair of overalls and send that boy to the farm where he belongs! read more

I started getting my hair cuts here a couple of years ago, and always got a clean, professional cut. Kirsten and Javier did a fantastic job every time. Then Kirsten is never there, so I waited for Javier. Then he's not there in the late afternoons about 5:00, so I tried a few other barbers and never again got a good consistent cut. Honestly, there's more chit-chat and joke telling amongst the barbers than there is hair cutting going on anymore. When you're in the chair and your barber stops every minute or so to talk with another barber, it's no wonder that my hair cut is often uneven and shoddy. I prefer a top notch hair cut from a professional barber, like Kirsten Javier. Not at all pleased with the others who seem to be there for their own social enjoyment. Mike, In response to your reply, Irvin, Jeremy, Brandon and a younger black fellow have all cut my hair and none were as good a cut, or had a professional demeanor like Javier and Kirsten. It's very unfortunate for you if Javier isn't there anymore. Just read many other comments. He's one of the best. But it's okay Mike, this isn't personal. I've found another shop to spend my money with, and I'm very happy for your success. And who knows. Maybe one day I'll stop in and give your shop another go. All the best, buddy. read more

I went to Mikes on a whim because I couldn't find a barbershop that was still open during this whole COVID 19 thing. My girl who I usually go to at sports clips wasn't available, and after googling close by shops, Mike's popped up and they were still open. Arrived and was taken promptly because there was no wait. I think the guy who cut my hair was named Jeff? Not sure. Either way, I told him what I wanted, and despite the fact that he did it in a way I wasn't used to, I was happy with the end result. Cheers to these guys for remaining open during a rough time and for coming through. It was either this or cut my own hair, and I'm glad I didn't choose the latter. read more

Hadn't been to Mike's in about eight months due to a transfer with my job. I came in last week and got my hair cut and for the first time I really didn't like the cut. The frustrating thing is I went to a barber I've been to several times before. Maybe he had an off day but for a month I'm gonna be irritated because I don't like the way my hair looks. Sure, I could have went back in and complained but I'd rather go somewhere else. I also noticed the price of a haircut went up a buck and there was an extra 75¢ fee for using my debit card it seems. I don't remember paying that fee before. read more

they got my son right he had lice and they still cut his hair look at him so cute i fell inlove with him

Worse haircut ever. Asked to trim up my phohawk. He cut so bad it's now a really short flat top military type cut I will not ever go back. I did get a since it's like Supercuts and sports clips thought it couldn't be but boy was I wrong rush you in and rush you out like cattle be aware read more

Took over an hour and still not what I wanted. Employees are not wearing masks nor are all the customers. Customer safety and satisfaction is not a priority. This is what a messed up haircut looks like. read more

I walked in on a Sat morning and was immediately seated. I received an excellent haircut and razor shave, all while both my barber and I wore masks. She worked quickly and efficiently and consistently checked with me to make sure I was happy with her work. Very happy with the finished product. Will definitely continue going back. read more

They really don't know how to understand what you want as a haircut. I let the same guy cut my hair twice (Nigel) and and both times I told him I want a low fade and an inch off the top and 1.5 inches off the back. He then continued to give me a high fade and blended it like crap both times and took not even half an inch off front and back. Just feels like an over priced great clips now. 10 years ago this place was always on point. Now it's just a low quality barbershop. Save your self the time and annoyance and find a real barber with presentable work. Cause this isn't it. Not happy with my hair cut or the way they rush to finish like they had a room full of people waiting because it was just me and one other customer in there. For a man a haircut should make you feel good not embarrassed by it. read more

Mike's place is interesting. Never been to a shop quite like it. There must be a dozen chairs in a row, every one of them full, at least today at mid-day they were. One thing you'll notice with all the barbers both male and female - they're all meticulous. No rushing through hair cuts here. Today was my second time at Mike's and with a new barber (for me). Javier...the man is an artist. My chair was positioned such that I couldn't see in the mirror facing me - obstructed by a light switch so hung short on the wall. Javier kept trimming and trimming then more cutting...to where I started thinking, man what's left? Once finished it was like he'd carved a Picasso on my head. So precise, just right. Not exactly what I was expecting but pleased with the result for sure. He just knew what worked for me. I like that. Check out Mike's, and Javier for a great experience! Additional recommendations from latest experiences: I've had Jeff cut my hair a couple times with much success. He's an expert at his craft. Today I met with Sam. She did a great job and was enthusiastic about the detail in her work. I highly recommend Javier, Jeff and Sam. I'd say you can't go wrong with any of these skilled barbers. read more

I have given this place a couple tries and man have I been more disappointed then satisfied. If you are looking for a haircut that looks normal go somewhere else. I walked in and asked for a fade along with a little length off the top. Wound up walking out with a buzz cut looking like I just came from deployment. Beware, Armando the first chair is the worst chair. Decline him taking your cut. Or give it a try and see. Too bad. read more

Good and quick. He got a regular hair cut and it looks like a regular haircut but they did a nice job and he was happy with it. Not much to say about a man's haircut especially when he has very little hair. read more

Mike's used to be the only place I'd go to get a haircut and over the years, especially recently, it has gone downhill. Want to see them succeed but having a "barber" who is clearly stoned and takes 40 minutes to do a 15 min cut is absurd. Not to mention screwing it up in the end. NOTE: there are still a few people cutting hair here that have been here for years and do a phenomenal job, I don't want to discredit them. (if you go to Mike's already, it's the same 3-4 you've seen for years.) The other 3-4 are extremely hit or miss and you'll leave with a different looking cut every time. Really hope they pay a little closer attention to the job some of their employees are doing in order to succeed long term. I still love Mike's as it's convenient for me but please step it up! Keep the reputation you've had in years past! read more

This barber shop is pretty decent, I went there because of the great reviews on yelp. The shop itself was pretty clean, there wasn't too long of a wait maybe 15 minutes, The hair stylist I had was nice but I've had better. I showed a picture of what I wanted, she was able to perform it pretty close to what I showed her but not perfectly tho. Basically a comb over skin fade, The main issues I ended up having was when my haircut was finished the fade between my beard and my hair was uneven, by a half inch or so. So I noticed this while looking unto the mirror in my car and I had to go back into the shop and have it fixed. Super inconvenient, and she didn't even have me sit down due to another customer being in the chair. Once again it's a decent shop, but make sure you double check for errors. read more

This is my first review on Yelp and feeI that I need to share this experience. Went to Mike's for a haircut and shave today and Kirstin (the person who cut my hair) was ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!! She took the time to listen and understand what I wanted, then expertly performed it! The results at the end were outstanding but it goes much further than that! I felt totally relaxed in the chair, even though there was a razor up to my face. She carefully shaved all of the spots that are hard to get, and I could see that she was confident in what she was doing. She took the time to explain each step before moving ahead so I knew what to expect. She turned something I usually can't stand into a delightful and relaxing experience. I did not feel rushed at any time during the process but it was completed in a timely manner. I walked out of there totally relaxed, beyond satisfied, with a totally smooth face and great looking hair (as good as it could look on a 56 year old guy)! I know this review is about one person, so getting to the shop, all of the customers seemed highly satisfied and the staff seemed confident, relaxed, happy and upbeat! They all looked like they knew what they were doing! This was my first time there as I am new to the area, but it certainly won't be my last. I highly recommend Mike's and actually look forward to future Haircuts and Shaves with Kirstin! Go there... you will be satisfied!! Happy New Year! Howie in Mesa, AZ read more

Used to be the best. Now you rarely see the same barber working there from month to month. Was a customer for 15 years. My kids and I would be there every couple weeks and knew everybody. I've watched it de line over the last few years. Now it's a all different people who spend over an hour on one haircut. How do they make any money like that? I thought I'd go back and try again today but same thing. watched a girl spend an hour to shave a kids head while two guys joked with each other and I just sat there until I walked out. Of course nobody even noticed. Too bad. Used to be the best. read more

Great little barbershop. I could not make it to my regular guy. I was able to get in quickly even with a lot of people there. The cut was very fast but very good. It included a neck shave that I know some of the new school barbers don't do anymore. The neck massage at the end was a nice touch. read more

Came in for a trim on a Tuesday around 3pm. Place was empty besides me so I got into a chair quick but as soon as another customer came in and a manager called one of the barbers to serve him. The barber that was assigned audibly groaned and glared at the manager. This is awful customer service and made a terrible atmosphere there. read more

Great barbershop. Lots of barbers on Saturday. Haircut is great except for the hard part. Barber asked if I parted my hair and I said yes I have a hard part.

I have been here twice. The first time was ok. The second time they cut my hair way shorter than I asked and it was a pretty bad haircut overall. He never asked if he was cutting it to long or short enough he just talked in spanish to the other barbers and pretty much ignored me. They also wouldn't accept the $2 check in coupon on yelp. Why have it on there if you won't take it? I might be more willing to over look it except they charge $19 for a haircut. Overpriced in my opinion. read more
