Having moved from California after dominating the Lucha scene, I came to Vegas in search of a new challenge. Part of keeping my identity secret means my mask has to fit just right and that starts with the haircut. My plan was to shop around different barbers but when I found Ricky, that plan was over. The man is a master of his craft. Like in Lucha, timing and precision matter and Ricky takes his time, making sure every cut is flawless. He looks like a pro wrestler but his true ring is behind the chair, fueled by passion for barbering and music. Much respect! If you're still getting your hair cut elsewhere, then prepare yourself... because you're about to face death by flying elbow! 5 OUT OF 5 LUCHAS! read more

Requiem Barber - Right after cut undone - Barbers Near Me - Henderson, Nevada

See all

Just had my third cut and loving it. There's a huge difference between the type of personal attention and skills one finds in a professional barber versus a chain establishment. I'd missed that, having had awesome cuts in NYC prior to Covid, and wanted to try something other than buzzing myself with clippers at home. You will be asked what you like and want, plus be given valuable feedback on what might look good. Don't be shy, speak up -- this is your guy and this is your place. Wonderful conversation, friendly, and since it's a one chair shop by appointment only, you receive full attention. read more

I am a new transplant here in Las Vegas and I'm extremely fortunate that I found Requiem barber. The haircut is just freakin amazing plus Ricky's a wonderful guy as well. I'll definitely be a regular customer going forward. I will surely recommend him to friends and family! read more

Ricky is an absolute pro. He takes his craft and his business seriously. He keeps his appointments. He is honest and straightforward... and he kicks ass at cutting hair. He is careful with how he cuts. If you request something that isn't possible with your hair type or head shape, you can trust Ricky to tell you and suggest alternatives instead of trying to force an outcome that would ultimately disappoint. You will leave looking clean and feeling confident. His space is stylish and comfortable, reflecting his interests in death core and related music genres. He sings for a band that occasionally tours. When this happens, he will refer you to other excellent local barbers... but you'll want to come back to Ricky. He's that good. I love it when people pursue excellence in what they do. If you do, too, then Ricky is your guy. read more

I tried to trim my beard and mustache by myself, but couldn't get a good image in my head as to what I wanted. I saw the glowing reviews of Requiem and saw the pictures of the interior, and thought it looked like a great place to get a trim. I'm so glad I decided to go in. Ricky was an awesome guy who is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about hair, both regular and facial. He discusses with you before just cutting and wants to spend as much time with you in the chair. Lots of places want you in out Asap. Not Ricky. We had a great convo during my trim, he's the singer in a metal band which automatically makes him cool. The art he has on the wall, you're looking at through out your cut, is really beautiful. I love the design of his shop in general. It looks great and reflects his personality very well. I could be here all day extolling his work and style, but just go and give him a chance. You will NOT be disappointed. Guaranteed! read more

The attention to detail and time spent perfecting my hair and beard does not go unnoticed. I wouldn't recommend any other barber in town.

One of the best barbers I've ever used. Ricky is a one man show, but definitely knows what he's doing. He will give you an honest opinion and a great haircut. He's a bit on the pricey side but not ridiculous like a high end men's salon. But if you don't cut your hair often, if you are looking to change your look or repair a bad haircut, Ricky is the man to see. Of course, you may not want to go back to your old barber read more

I needed to find a place to get my hair cut after moving to Nevada. After looking through Yelp and reviews, I am glad to have clicked on Requiem. Ironically, the negative reviews and Owner's responses lead me to give this place a try. I knew this was a no bull establisment and booked an appointment with him as soon as possible. The process of booking an appointment was easy, and when the day came I made sure to go early to give myself enough time to find the location (based on previous reviews of people not being able to find it). Suprisingly, it was actually easy and I had 30 minutes to spare. I had an early 10:30 appointment, but luckily Ricky took me although I had arrived at 10. I have never gotten a haircut from a proper barber, so I had many questions as to how to shape my hair and his thoughts. Ricky had no problems with my general needs and "I'm not sure" answers and gave me an insightful lesson about my hair while doing his work. He wasn't only just professional, he was incredibly friendly and genuine which created a comfortable atmosphere. The end result, was a perfect fade and information on what to do with my hair to repair my cuts from previous cuts I have been getting for 20 years from my friend's mothers (haha). I knew I got a great haircut when I went to the club that weekend and, for the first time in my life, I got complimented on my hair! Awkward for me but a great cosign for my decision for choosing Requiem Barber. Thanks Ricky for the peace of mind of not having to search for another Barber. read more

I didn't want just any haircut!! I'll be walking my daughter down the aisle this weekend and it had been over 10 years since I last went to a barber!! My long beard was a source of pride to me but it definitely needed some taming!! So I searched the Internet and settled on Requiem!! Making an appointment on line was simple and I got an acknowledgement and reminders for the appt.. The place is hard to find because there are no signs on the building but go to the building and 115 is "Studio Salon", go in the far right door and Requiem is the first door on your right!! I can't say enough good things about Ricky!! Very professional, very talented and builds an instant connection with his customers!! He takes the time to know exactly what you want and you will definitely be satisfied with the results!! If you want the best you go to the best!! read more

I recently moved to Henderson and was in search of a barber. After looking at a bunch of places, I found Requiem. They happen to be right down the street. Made an appointment which was very easy. Went in today, met Ricky and the cutting began. I love to support small businesses. He is very personable and we had great conversation. My cut was amazing and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great cut and who wants to support small businesses. Thanks again for the conversation and the great cut. I already booked the next appointment. Jeff read more

Ricky has been giving me the best haircuts for over a year now. Clean shop and super communicative and well priced.

Preface: I totally understand why barbers/stylists need no call/no show policies. We respect them and respect business owners. But in this case being first time clients, we were not a no call no show. We were trying to find the business itself. Had a very difficult time finding the place with construction all around his building, and his business being unlabeled. Being first time clients, we would think regardless of your policy there would be a little grace period considering this isn't a major surgery. It's a men's haircut. And also if the business isn't clearly labeled or difficult to find, being open to communicating with clients about where it is helpful. Called to find the location, apparently the business owner is ONLY able to send text messages per his voicemail. Never heard of that before with any barber/stylist considering they have to work with their hands. Was completely unavailable and uncommunicative for the duration we were trying to find the business. By then we were ten minutes late for the appointment, there are no signs in the building as to where it is located. And we were charged $43 to top it off and rudely told just "look at my Square App to reschedule". Went originally because of the great reviews, but left SEVERELY disappointed. Maybe this place gives good haircuts but when it comes to client retention, communication or general customer service Requiem Barber is the ACTUAL worst. To be clear, this was not a no call no show. We were trying to communicate to find the business the entire time. And were ten minutes late to find the UNLABELED business. And we were still charged. Absolutely RIDICULOUS! Go anywhere else but here. read more

My fiancé has been a loyal customer of Ricky Hoover since he was cutting hair out of his garage. No matter where we moved or where Ricky moved, we followed. His haircuts and service were just that great. His haircuts are great, he really takes his time to customize his haircuts to your head and your hair texture. My fiancé has textured coarse curly hair and Ricky found a way to give him exactly what he wanted when no other hairstylist or barber could. When my fiancé first started going to Ricky, his hair cut from a previous hairstylist put his part way too high and close to the center. Ricky was able to help him transition from an awkward part to the GQ haircut he wanted. He introduced him to great products like Layrite and ADH wet and dry. He introduced us to the fine quality hair brushes he uses and the great effortless techniques to get the volume without the overuse of product. Ricky Hoover is not only a great barber, he is a great educator and really takes his time to walk you through any questions or concerns you have. He is not only a great barber but really takes the time to get to know you. After years of seeing him on a monthly basis, we felt like friends and we're able to celebrate life changes and life experiences with him. We haven't found a barber as great at Ricky and haven't found anyone who fades hair as good Ricky. We miss you Ricky! read more

Requiem Barber - Barbers Near Me - Henderson, Nevada

DO NOT COME HERE! Website prompts you to put your credit card down to book an appointment so I did, went to appointment to circle around the plaza for 10 minutes looking for place because there was no sign indicating where barbershop was. I ended up walking into every business, finally walking into a random salon where this hairstylist rents from, just to be denied service because I was 14 minutes late and charged a late fee. By the way, I called three times prior appointment to forgo getting lost, but no answer. THE GUY WAS UNAPOLOGETIC AND JUST PLAIN OUT RUDE, DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

This review is long overdue. And this barber is legit. I had long, 18" hair going down my back and I'd been wanting to take the plunge and go with an undershaved sides for the first time while still keeping the top very long for a top knot. For such a dramatic change, I didn't want to take a chance with whoever would've called my name at Great Clips so I found Ricky here on Yelp and actually on my side of town too. Ricky's a rockstar of a barber and a nice guy too. Full disclosure - I secretly dreaded cutting away all this hair that I've had for years but he got me through it with flying colors! read more

Had to find a new barber since mine is moving and glad I found this guy. Styled up my man mane and shaped up my face pubes. Safe to say I found my new barber. Best barber I've found in the Hendo area by far. read more

Requiem Barber - Barbers Near Me - Henderson, Nevada

Ricky is positively the best! All of the reviews are well earned and there's not much more that I can add....they've said it all. I'm looking forward to my next appointment, not only for the great hot shave and perfect beard trim, but great conversation as well. read more

I always appreciated honesty, and honest people. I figured that it is a positive quality to stick with, so I decided to to embrace it and give it. Honesty raise awareness; it is beneficial to the society and people. Starting by saying that I missed an appointment and was not able to attend it due to a circumstance. One of his unstated policies is that if one misses an appointment, this person automatically is on ricky's black list, which means Mr. Hoover is no longer interested in this person as a client. A picture to prove the conversation is attached and would speak for itself. To conclude, we live in a progressive and socialist era, where the client has a right to speak and criticize about a reality that can help others. read more

Requiem Barber - Barbers Near Me - Henderson, Nevada

I can't recommend Ricky enough. Super nice guy and super welcoming. The place was not hard to find and he accommodated my request to move up my booking to another free spot without a hassle. His recommendations are on point and he seems to really care about his work, and about your happiness with it. He treated me like an old friend and I found myself really enjoying the conversation. 5 stars isn't enough. read more

Recently moved from cali and had not gotten a haircut for 7 months. Rickey is super friendly and down to earth. Very meticulous and passionate in his trade. Would definitely recommend to anyone and probably no need to look elsewhere. Just showed him what my hair used to look like and was able to match it. Will definitely be coming back read more

I have not found anyone remotely close to how Ricky would cut my hair and It sucked when he left California.The dedication he puts into his craft really speaks for itself and there's a reason why he's rated Highly on reviews because he makes you feel like a new MAN! Miss you bro! read more

My boyfriend needed his hair to be cleaned up and found he had an opening and booked it. He is very honest with hairstyles and what would work best for his hair type. I left it up to Ricky to do what was best for his hair. He did a great job and my Boyfriend looked great with the cut. Ricky was fun to chat with too. He has a new customer. read more

Ricky is awesome! Super talented barber and will be going to him regularly from now on.

Incredible Barber. I've been going to this place for a while now and have always been treated with respect and taken care of. Ricky is always attentive and makes sure to make recommendations or ask questions before following through with the job. I moved further away from the shop, and left for someone closer, but eventually came back because his service cannot be replicated. The shop is easy to get to and so simple to find and if you can't, there are instructions on the website and the website also has a handy feature where you can save your card for easier booking in the future. Requiem has definitely earned a customer for life. read more

Great trim and great conversation. Location is easy to find. Will definitely go back regularly.

Phenomenal haircut. You'll definitely get what you pay for at this location. Personalized service, great conversation, great design, and I felt perfectly safe. I will now become a regular. read more

So, when you find a biz with a 5-star review, you read a few reviews, and you say, okay, I'll give it a try, and you tell yourself, "I really hope I get as good of an experience that everybody writes about." Absolutely the case with Ricky. I don't need to repeat the accurate accolades written by others; they are true. What I will add is that Ricky's location is a private room with just one chair; the customer and Ricky. I mention this because I am being very cautious in these days of Covid, and you cannot ask for a safer environment for a hair cut. Moreover, Ricky is fastidious about keeping his shop very clean. The only other thing I will add, is when you arrive, his location is actually through the doors of suite #115; poke your head through the doors of #115 and you can't miss his shop. read more

This is the first barber I've been to in many years where I didn't have to worry about the consistency of my haircut. I am so thankful to have found Ricky's review on Yelp. Not only does he do an amazing job on my haircut but he is truly an awesome person. He is always accommodating with scheduling and his prices are beyond reasonable. I wish I was as good with writing reviews as Ricky is at cutting hair. Ricky thanks so much for always making my haircut look good. You won't go wrong getting your haircut here. read more

Ricky is amazing! He is not only a genuine human being, but great at his craft! I have referred many people to him throughout the years and he knocks it out of the park!!!! Highly recommend!!! read more

Probably the best and easiest cut I have ever had. And the best conversation too. I walked in, and automatically, Ricky was personable and friendly, and wanted to get to know me before asking about my cut. Then, once I explained to him that I had a basic idea, but not a great one-as I used to cut my own hair (not very well), he not only agreed with the cut I was thinking of, but walked me through how to properly style it, as well as maintain it. Can not recommend this guy enough. Although, I will say: get in while you can, as Ricky does such a good job that he (understandably) gets booked ultra super quick read more

This guy is ridiculously good. He gave me a better haircut and beard trim on his first try then pretty much all my previous barbers/stylists on their last. On top of that, he's also super cool and chill! read more

Great barber. Great haircut. Very helpful in helping me learn to style and what product is needed for the desired look. Definitely would recommend. read more

Every time I've had Ricky trim my beard or shave my head he's done an immaculate job. Always very knowledgeable in his work and fun to have a conversation with. I'd recommend him to anyone with any type of hair texture. read more

Had to leave my barber due to a job transfer to a new location. I was very committed to my former barber, and HATE looking for a new barber. But Ricky Hoover's yelp reviews sounded very good, and he was able to schedule me in within just a few days. First haircut went very well. Ricky is friendly, offers lots of information about the cut as he works. Second haircut was even better, and I've received a few compliments on my cut at home and the office. Looking forward to future visits. Thanks, Ricky! read more

Found out about Ricky through Yelp and man I gotta say, he is an amazing barber! I was really impressed with how knowledgable he is. He gave me some good tips on how to style my hair and he also gave me some info on his equipment. Very cool person to talk to as well! And a great Attitude! His place Made me feel at home with the music he had on and the art on the wall. I will definitely be coming back to see him, honestly the best barber I've been to. I left his place really happy with my cut. read more

Requiem Barber - Great hair cut! - Barbers Near Me - Henderson, Nevada

Although I can't go to Ricky as much as I'd like due to how far he is from me, I did get my haircut from him once and couldn't have been happier. My hair is difficult to work with. It's very black,thick, and hard to blend. Usually a barber needs to cut my hair 3-4 times to really get the hang of it. Ricky killed it on his first try. Yes, Ricky is great with cutting hair and he's also a perfectionist. He spent extra time on my hair to make sure it was to his standards. Seeing as his standards will ALWAYS be higher than yours, you'll leave happy. Not to mention he taught me how to style my hair without trying to sell product in the process. He told me which product would work best with the style I was looking for but never bugged me to buy it. He made sure I would love my hair when I styled it on my own. If you leave unhappy, you're the booger in the pudding of life and you're mother is disappointed in your life decisions. read more

Ricky has given my boys multiple haircuts and never once has it been a bad cut! He always takes his time to make sure they walk away with amazing haircuts. My oldest son(8) has ticks and sensory issues. Ricky is always super patient and understanding about my sons inability to sit still or needing breaks from clippers because of sensory overload. I all but refuse to take my boys anywhere else for cuts! Ricky never disappoints! read more

Ricky Hoover is the man. He is very talented and dedicated to his craft, he has a very unique love for life and his constant smile with make you feel very comfortable and relaxed in the chair. Make an appointment, come relax, enjoy the music and leave happy as can be. He is very active on social media so who knows you may be featured! Look no further. Ricky is the one you're looking for. read more

Coming to Ricky was a fantastic decision! As someone who is very particular about how their hair is cut and styled, I must say I have never left his shop with any complaints! Ricky takes his time to make sure his cuts are the best they possibly can be. He gives solid styling advice, and is really good at his craft! Be ready for a great cut, good chats, a chill vibe, and solid music . read more
