Clean cut everytime! Clean barbershop smell, professional wet shaves, traditional feel for sure

I was a regular for years. One day I stop in 30 minutes before close. The stylist I liked was finishing up a client, and said she could finish me before closing time. The owner piped up and said no, I was too late. Had the stylist said that, I would have been fine, but the owner denying me service after years of patronage was too much. I left and would never go back, or recommend that establishment to anyone. read more

One great place for a great haircut the people are always nice and friendly will always tell all of my friends

The atmosphere in this barbershop is tense and uncomfortable. The owner frequently reprimands his stylists in the middle of haircuts, which makes everyone uneasy. Clients end up staring at the wall for the duration of the cut and only see the final result when it's done. The quality of the haircuts is inconsistent; I've visited 10-12 times and was only satisfied 3-4 times, which I acknowledge is partly my fault for returning. My most recent visit was the last straw. During my haircut, the owner called my stylist and another stylist away to discuss how they were handling transactions... again mid haircut and in front of customers. My stylist returned frazzled and did not finish my fade properly, resulting in a terrible haircut. I will not be returning, and I advise others to find a different barbershop. Lastly, the owner, John, has no idea how to run a business or treat his employees. the place looks old and dirty. I usually don't write negative reviews, but as someone new to the area, I want to help others. Unless you're just looking for a simple buzz cut(although I'm sure they would probably screw that up too), I recommend finding another barbershop. read more

This is a great traditional Barbershop. There are usually no waits and you can make an online reservations. I have been to see Carol three times and she is excellent. The haircut includes eyebrow trim, neck shave and hot towel. I prefer this far more than the franchise barbershops. Highly recommended read more

What's your favorite part of getting a haircut? For me, it's spending the entire time staring at a wall instead of a mirror, then going home and noticing how terrible a job they did and having to go back to get it fixed. Another fun tidbit- they have a pretty small waiting area which was full enough that I wanted to stand to the side while I waited. Manager literally would not let me and insisted I sit down for the 3 minutes I waited for my name to be called. read more

Who knew that such a friendly little barber shot was hidden in this strip mall? The two women that worked there both seemed very friendly, and my wife commented that my haircut was better than the $40 cuts I used to get at downtown salons. $13 for a cut is hard to beat. read more

Not recommended. Walked in because I was overdue for a haircut and could not get in at my regular place. First victim of the morning. Asked for a scissor cut. Chinese speaking barber gave me a crappy buzz cut. Should have got up and left when he pulled out the clippers - but after the first zip it was too late... read more

Dawn did a fantastic job! We are so happy! Everyone is very nice there too! Ian is very picky about his hair!

If you're looking for a crazy good zero fade, you need to check out this place! I'm a man of convenience so when I saw WiseMen HairCuts pop up only .5 miles from my house I had to try it out. John hooked me up to say the least! Straight razor, clean zero fade, no bs! Job well done! read more

Shirley did a great job. Came right in at 230pm done by 250pm. Shaved my neck and got a great hot towel massage. Very happy to see an old school barber, shaved sides and scissored top. read more

Park's Barber Shop - Barbers Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

Every time I go to Wisemen I recommend Joy. She's very thorough, always sparks great conversation, and provides a wonderful experience.

This is review is for John only. By far, the best barber in the triangle. He takes his time and is very detailed in his approach. It's a little difficult to predict when he's there and sometimes there's a line to wait for him. All while the other two hairstylist sit with nothing to do. read more

I moved here in Sep of 2010 and I have been searching for a good barber ever since. I found a couple of good ones but this is by far the best. I just received the best Military Flat Top I have had in years. This is where I am going to go from now on and it is close to me on the North Side of Raleigh. The price was also unbelievable. $14.00 He did a great cut, hot towel and razor cut on the neck too. It is in a quiet little shop just south of Strickland on Leesville. They have only been open since March of 2011. I am going to bring my boys here now too. read more

Very nice experience with Jon. Very satisfied with the haircut. The place was very clean and everyone in the shop had on mask. Jon has a new customer. read more

Only one star because there was nothing less. Go there if you want your sideburns raised 1/2" without asking. They will also be at a 45 degree angle when they were obviously horizontal to begin with. Go there and get something else that what you asked for. Go there if you want your eyebrows cut down to the skin. Go there if you want to spend twice the normal time for a haircut. Go there if you want someone that doesn't know how to work a clippers and resorts to using dull scissors that also pull your hair out. Go there is John is there and you don't want to have a conversation. read more

Went in for a medium skin fade came out with a medium skin fade like I want. Rather go here than super cut!

When I moved to Raleigh, I was in desperate need of a good barber shop and I found WiseMen on Yelp. I've gotten several different styles of haircuts there, and I have been very impressed with their service each time. Their barbers are able to give me the exact haircuts I describe each time, and they also make good recommendations when asked. In fact, I went to WiseMen right before a friend's wedding and I asked one of their barbers to try something new, not sure what I would get. I ended up getting the best haircut I have ever gotten in my life! I got plenty of compliments from my new style and I have continued asking for it. Prices are very reasonably and they accept credit cards. WiseMen even throws in a nice shoulder massage at the end of each haircut. Wait times can get very long on weekends, particularly in the late afternoons, so try to go on weekdays or early on weekends if possible. I moved away from Raleigh so I am no longer able to visit their establishment, but I would highly recommend them for men's haircuts. read more

Brought a photo of J. Depp "Public Enemies" short back and sides cut; excellent work by Mr. Park himself with a clean taper. Will visit again. read more

they fucked my hair so bad and of course I said it looked good but hell no bruh they can't do they work right

Beyond rude. Showed her multiple pictures then she hands me a book from 1990... ended up walking out before a crap cut.

Just moved to Raleigh and needed a haircut so I thought I'd try one close to me on the northwest side by 540. Shirley did a great job. She was very thorough and meticulous. Very surprising for a $16 haircut. I'll definitely be going back. read more

Only go here: 1. if you're over 70 and don't care about what your hair looks like (there's probably not much there to matter) 2. If you're under 12 and don't care about what your hair looks like (if you do, you're probably not a typical 12 yr old) 3. If you're a dad trying to skimp on your kid's haircut which is absolutely understandable 4. If you''re getting paid to sport a bad haircut 5. You have a masochistic urge of being at the mercy of 2 women who really don't give two hoots about men's hairstyle (see an independent review below) 5. If Mr. Park is here Otherwise, turn around and leave or even better go to the Chinese takeout next door. Of course I'm glad I went to this barber shop because now I found a solid Chinese joint. read more

Went by for a hairscut and had a good experience. They charge $13 without tip for a good quick haircut. It's a little bit nicer as opposed to a great clips or supercuts because it has more of a inviting barber shop feel to it. The whole procedure was painless and took about 15 minutes. I'll probably make this my go-to place since it's close to home and edges out the other places on comfort. read more

After a few years trying to figure this place out the owner has finally put some stability in the quality of barbers at the shop. I have not been disappointed in my haircut for the past year. He recently implemented $9 haircuts (YES, $9.00) for seniors and uniformed folks on Tuesdays. Can't beat that! read more

Anyone looking for a great "old school" haircut in North/West Raleigh should look no further! Mr Park is very professional and highly skilled. Comfortable atmosphere, reasonable prices, I highly recommend. read more

Best barber shop I have found in the area after moving here 2 years ago. The only one that gives you the hot towel treatment after the haircut which I think is the best part of a crappy chore. I drive all the way over from Cary and well worth it. At the time of writing haircut is $13.00 for cash. Bargain. Ask for Jung he is the tall Korean dude you cannot miss him but he doesnt work Monday and Tuesday. read more

If Mr. Parks isn't there, turn and leave. I showed a picture of myself to the woman and said "make me look like this." Not even close. Way too short and didn't even taper the back. Missed a few dozen hairs also. If you're thinking about a shave, smack yourself with a 10-cent safety razor and you'll have the same results as I got. Haven't bled this much since 7th grade when I started shaving. She "doesn't use a straight razor" and I definitely know why now. Should have known it was going to be bad when both women were talking about how they don't understand men that care what their hair looks like. Almost had to go Red Dawn in this barbershop. read more

5 stars for John. You see negative reviews on Yelp for this place. But if you read the negative reviews you will usually see that it was one of the Non-John girls that work there. Go to see John. His English is not the best in the world so do not expect a lot of conversation, but he is very good and dedicated to his work. He gives a good haircut! Unfortunately he is not there all the time, but is typically there on the weekends. If you go to John, you get a good haircut for the price. read more

Recently needed to find a new haircut provider and decided to try WiseMen HairCuts based on online reviews and proximity. I received a great cut and courteous service at a very reasonable price and I will be returning. read more

Always a good cut from Mr. Park. Do yourself a favor and spring for the cut and shave with the hot towels. Worth every penny!

I've used the services of Irene for the past year and a half and I'm well pleased with the work she does. I have a double crown (cowlick) and if it isn't handled properly I look like Dagwood Bumstead for three weeks until the danged thing grows back out. Irene has always managed to keep me sleek and as good looking as possible, given the raw material she has to work with. I highly recommend her. read more

I took my 7-year-old son here last night and he got a GREAT haircut! He had a bad experience at Great Clips when he got cut with clippers so he is usually a little anxious during haircuts but they were so great with him! The shop is clean, the ladies who were working are SO nice! We will definitely be going back for all of his haircuts! read more

I drive 30 minutes just to get a haircut here. One of the best fade jobs ever. I always wait for Mr. Park himself and there is another lady in there that did a good job too. Can't beat the price and the strait edge on the back of the neck and sides. Very clean haircut. read more
