Charlie's attention to detail is like an expert artist sculpting your top! Friendly, courteous, and professional to the max.

Another great Haircut from Charlie. I really appreciate their early morning hours. Makes it very easy to get to work in the morning instead of trying to leave work early. I highly recommend, but book a reservation online. read more

Started to let my hair grow longer again at the request of my wife (as long as I still have some left to grow!) after buzzing my head for longer than I can remember. Have driven past the shop for years; just looks like a good old fashioned barber shop from the outside, so thought I'd take a chance. So happy I did! John did a great job giving me a no-frills trim. Thanks, John! Enjoyed your stories as well. Perfect for an old guy like me! I'll definitely be back!!! read more

They did my haircut horribly, I asked to cut off one inch of hair and they cut off four. Also the barbers kept talking about a barber who worked there that punched another dude. Would not recommend; but I like the puppy read more

I have very difficult straight hair to cut and have bounced around multiple barbers in boulder, but Isaiah gave the best cut I've gotten in a while. It is also the cheapest option I have found. They also have a little dog at the shop and everyone is very nice 10/10 read more

I always get a great haircut here. It's a simple, old fashioned, barbershop. No shampoos, massages, beers, or techno music. These are real barbers who cut with sheers, not hair stylists, who aren't qualified to used sheers. I get a great conversation there, too. This last time, I thought about getting a buzz cut, but the barber strongly advised against it. The haircut that he gave me is still short, but much better than what I originally thought I wanted! read more

Northside Barbers did a very professional job on my recent visit. They are friendly and it's good to see a family business do so well!

Awesome place and love Josh, best barber in Boulder. Great cut, price and atmosphere

the OG barbers great haircut fair prices.. Dave ! good for all age groups very friendly read more

I brought my elderly dad here over and over. The same Latino barber would choose him every time from the lineup, and was always super kind as he gave him just the cut he requested. Northside is small in size but large in atmosphere like a barber shop in 1940s movies, with one row of barber chairs facing a row of waiting male customers of all ages, sports on the TV, well-thumbed guy magazines, and cut hair piling up under their feet. Love this place. read more

DON'T GO HERE. Absolute dickhead, wouldn't let me face the mirror while he was cutting my hair, told me I had an attitude when I told him how I wanted my hair to be done, told me I had F'ed up hair, then charged me $30. And severely F'ed up my sideburns and now I gotta pay more money to get it fixed. read more

Isaiah is very detail oriented, and he is incredibly patient with children. There are numerous people in town that are not good with children, and it was just so cute watching Isaiah give this little boy a great cut as the boy squirmed and hummed to himself. read more

This place was awesome, not only for the cut but the people there were super nice. For the price of just a haircut you can beat the quality. Will definitely be coming back! read more

I went in to Northside just over a month ago and honestly I had a really decent haircut for what I was asking. I wanted nothing off the top and wanted a medium fade that would blend well with the top which I am growing out. I can't remember his name but there was a latino barber who did just a great job as I was kind of picky. The problem arose from one of the other barbers who decided to spend the whole time talking about how women being in law enforcement and the justice system is ruining america as they are better suited for staying home. He continued on this tangent I supposed because he had been arrested by a female police officer. He spent the entirety of my cut disparaging women, gay people, and hispanics (he said all hispanics beat their wives and that is why his court mandated anger management class was filled with hispanic men). Not to mention him saying on more than one occasion that he was sick of hearing people whine about the "fake pandemic". I was sick to my stomach. In the end I only hope my barber and Sherman (another great barber from Northside) can get the hell out of there. I have had my hair absolutely mangled by barbers in the past and I would take any inept barbershop than one that allows disgusting sickos like that to be in their employ. To Management: I am sure you know this barber's name. He is in his maybe mid forties/early fifties, short, a little husky and has black hair. I don't know his name but please, for the good of the Boulder community tell that guy to pack his clippers. read more

I was kind of excited to get a haircut here. I don't make a habit of trashing a local business, but this must be made public. I called and was told to come down for a walk in, and arrived at 3:25pm. Doors are locked, business is open though, and they won't let me in. Won't answer their phone. Complete cowards. They don't close till 530pm! Being a student and an older guy, I'm sure you all know how careful time-management is. This really bugs me about a local business. It's no way to treat people. Should have just told me not to come down. I'm sure they do great haircuts etc, so take this with a grain of salt. Suggestion: go across the street to Barber Shop. They are much more receptive and honest about their business practices. Plus the people there are really laid back. A proper place to hang out and get your hair cut. read more

They didn't follow basic instructions and gave me a horrible uneven cut. Not worth the price... or any price for that matter.

Awful didn't listen to instructions over priced for level of service and detail don't come here

John was great at cutting mens longer hair, and we had a great conversation. Proper price

I've been going to Northside Barbers for years and I always looked forward to it. I was so disappointed to discover that some (or all?) of the barbers had chosen not to be vaccinated; most importantly the owner. I was given the impression some time ago by the owner that he was vaccinated, but apparently not. I'm really going to miss getting my haircuts here, but I can't tolerate being misled. read more

We had our 10 month old's first haircut done here, and they did a fabulous job! Mercedes was his barber, and she was very friendly to my family. She was quick but still very efficient. We did not have to wait at all, and were warmly greeted as soon as we stepped in. The environment was friendly but also professional. Just a side note: they only take cash, but they do have an ATM inside if you do not have cash on hand. I provided a before and after haircut picture so you can see the transformation! Thank you Mercedes and Northside Barbers, we will be back! read more

Northside Barbers - Before his haircut! - Barbers Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

See all

Love this barber shop! I'm visiting Boulder for a wedding and the shop was great. Charlie is very personal and amazing. Great stories and gave me a great fade. Very clean! 10/10 recommend wish I lived here to come back every time I needed a haircut read more

UPDATE: Beware this establishment is NOT licensed in the state of CO. Their cosmetics/barbers license is EXPIRED and revoked on the CO state division of professional occupations website. No wonder i got a terrible haircut. If you go here i'd ask to see your barbers licence. Beware the new older female "barber". She was rough, cut me and did not listen at all to what I wanted. She shaved years worth of curls off and just said "oh it'll curl right up" well days later and NO curls! NEVER going back. Thankfully I work at the hardware store in the same shopping center so I can spread the word. read more

After moving here from the NYC area it took me a while to find a worthwhile, no-bullcrap, barber shop. No I don't need shampoo, no I don't need a shoulder massage, NO YOU DON'T NEED MY PHONE NUMBER. This place is reasonably priced and they do a great job. Occasionally they have a not-so-great barber there but if you are a regular, you know who they are, they are usually weeded out pretty quickly. That is the only reason they don't get 5 stars. This place is legit! There are plenty of "licensed" places to get a crummy hair cut. This isn't one of those places. read more

Best barber experience. Cooper was amazing! Great skill in those hands. She gave my husband the best cut he ever had.

Been coming since I was 10 never left now 30 n Best place in town period. I will never leet anyone hit josh cut my hair. read more

This place only takes cash, that said: they're good. I started going here last fall, and I really like it. I've gotten my haircut by three of their staff and have been pleased every time. I have to admit, one of the guys cut my hair too short one time, but it looked good as it grew out. They do the straight razor neck shave with warm foam, which is really nice. There's also usually enough barbers to keep the wait short. I have had a time or two where my sideburns were uneven afterwards, and I had to trim a little myself, but it's still a much better cut than other barbers in town, especially the chain joints, for the same price. There's also a lot of kids getting cuts, and the barbers and patrons don't swear if that's important to you. Overall, a cool local business that's worth a look if you're getting butchered at great clips or something. read more

New to the area and need a haircut before a meeting. Northside Barbers opens at 6AM and I am really glad I found them! Dave took good care of me, great attention to detail and fantastic customer service. read more

I have been going to Northside for 12 years and I always get a quality haircut from true professional barbers. This place is awesome. It is not fancy or a salon, but if you are looking for an authentic quality barber you can't go wrong with Northside. They take their time and give you a quality cut every time. Inexpensive haircuts, beard trims and shaves...yes, shaves. They use straight razors for as close a shave as possible. If you are a guy and you live in or around Boulder, you need to get your haircut here! They are great with kids cuts, too. My son has been getting his haircut here since he was two. read more

Been to Northside 4 times now and it has been hit or miss every time. They're more of a clippers barbershop so if you're just getting buzzcuts or something simple it's a great price for a haircut. If you want a detailed scissor cut you should probably go somewhere else. All the barbers have been very nice and didn't have a problem performing adjustments if I needed them. A couple of them are a little to quick with the straight razor, I've had my neck cut twice. The last one was a fairly large one, and on top of the fact that I prefer detailed scissor cuts I don't think I'll be returning. read more

No frills. No Bull. This is a good basic barber shop. I went in for a trim and got exactly what I was looking for to a tee. It was a quick cut, the conversation was good and the price was right. If you are looking for some fancy, asymmetrical, fashion-forward, "I'm a BelieBer" kind of cut... don't go here. Why would you? Go move to Milan and get your haircut there. This place is a barber shop. Straight razor shaves and solid cuts is all you should expect. You will get this here. I'll be heading back for sure. read more

Sherman is the bomb! Love visiting this barbershop. Great old school feel and excellent conversation.

Professional cuts, very reasonably priced. I have been going there for about 4 years now. In that time, about 8 cuts done. I was only really disappointed in the cut once, but II was vague about what I wanted. It is hard to see your own head and make judgement calls, but I have good honest reliable friends. They all comment positively on the cut, lines, and shave. The finish with the straight blade shave is what I look forward to most. It completes the cut and the experience. I highly recommend Northside Barbers. read more

I took my teenage son there for the first time today. First, it was very easy to make an appointment and to select the barber we wanted -- Isaiah Hernandez. When we arrived my son was seated right away and Isaiah asked him exactly what he wanted. We loved the laid back, friendly atmosphere and we really appreciated that Isaiah took his time with the cut and checked in with my son frequently to make sure he was getting what he wanted. When it was done, it was exactly what my son wanted and the price was very reasonable. We'll definitely return. read more

Finally a decent barbershop in Boulder. Very pleased with their customer service, price and of of course they can cut hair well. Also, nothing like a straight razor shave. Love it. read more

Great fade ,great atmosphere ,and moderately priced. I just moved to the area and was looking for a new barber. The atmosphere was very friendly and welcoming. I wanted a very classic non-gimmicky barbershop and it was just what I was hoping for. All of the barbers seemed very pleasant and I did not have to wait long at all ,less than 10 minutes. Charlie was my barber and I am very happy to have met him. He was extremely talented, engaging and quick. I am lookin forward to going back and definitely recommend this barbershop. read more

I expected something pretty basic for an inexpensive haircut, but Isaiah was great!

Brian is the man! All the barbers are great and there's always a line to get cut. Except early it's not that bad. I love this shop it's classic and very clean. Most of all its professional. read more

Been here many times over the last few years. I don't look for a specific barber because they all do a great job. But if you're lined up for CHARLIE, be prepared for his fingers being stuck inside your ears as well as caressing your eyeballs throughout the cut. I never wanted to give this place a bad review because I think they are great, but Charlie will gouge out your eyes and ears for the duration of your cut. I would verbally express that his fingers were inside my ears and consistently rubbing my eyeballs. It got to the point where he was extending my haircut much longer than I am used to and I felt he was just petting my head and stroking my face for about 15 minutes straight (without actually cutting anything). I just had to tell him just razor it all in an even 5. I needed to get out. I was really physically disturbed. read more

This place is great! Its kinda hard to find though, its on the intersection of Arapahoe and folsom. I got my cut from Brian who was courteous and paid attention to details. Fun loving staff and a nice cozy shop too. Same price as great clips or custom cuts. read more

I WOULD NOT recommend this place to anyone. This women was the opposite of gentle with my hair. I asked for a trim on top, ended up with a buzz cut. read more
