He's friendly, easy to talk to, and somehow remembers details from past conversations even though he runs a busy shop. That personal touch means a lot. Most importantly, the haircuts are consistently great. I regularly get compliments after seeing him, and that's been true for years. He listens, he knows what works, and he delivers every time. If you're in Ames and need a reliable barber, I highly recommend Raymond.

This time I showed her pictures and my son came out 10 mins later with not the cut in the picture. My other sons cut looks really choppy, she took about 10 mins on it too, but I'm waiting to see how it is after it's washed and dried to decide if we need to go back. Really disappointed, I was hoping to find a good regular local spot. Took my 2 and 4 year olds here to fix my attempts to cut their hair Hannah was great with both of them, quick and easy and even styled it for boWe were in and out in a half hour.

To me that means, no…read morepicture of the reviewer, often just a few (or less) reviews to show for it, sometimes debatable personal experience, and with some sort of revenge (for slights real or imagined) on their minds. For this long-time Yelp Elite, these reviews go to the very bottom of my credibility pile. I'm a loyal customer, even though I live in Nevada and only have Troy cut my hair if I happen to be in town and I need to get my hair back in control. My Dad and my Brother come here too. My last visit was earlier this week was around Troy's opening time (7:30 AM), with no wait, nice conversation, and back out to the care in short order. I enjoy our conversations and catching up on Campus and Community happenings. The Barber Shop itself has comfortable seating, good reading material (if I need to wait), sports on the TV, and just an all-around comfortable vibe. Free parking is available across the street. My last haircut was on the short side, which I like, while Gayle is still considering. But when one is nearly bald up top, shaggy sides and comb overs don't look so good to me these days.

Amazing shop. Only real barbers in Ames who can do ANY cut. (Fades, Mohawks, comb overs, ect.)…read moresometimes there is a wait but that is because the barbers are giving each and every haircut their absolute ALL! Quality cuts always.

I scheduled an appointment with Joe in spite of reading some of the other negative reviews. I got…read morean email asking to reschedule the appointment to a different time that day. I accepted the change, but when I showed up, Joe wasn't there. Another person walked in who had an appointment with Joe in 20 minutes, and rather then get a rushed 20 minute haircut or make that person wait more time, I cancelled the appointment and walked down to All Cuts barber shop where I received excellent service. Moral of the story, don't waste your time here.

I requested a number 2 all over the top and a number 3 all over the beard with a lineup. They don't do razors which isn't a big deal, it's cheap and fast. They ostensibly had the capability to do a line up with some clippers though. Part of this is on me, I guess, because I didn't check that closely before I left. "How could anyone who does this for a living mess up this request," I wondered. I paid, left an almost 25% tip for my "barber" and went home only to later see this (pictured). It's lined up like I was at the cosmetology school of the blind. My goodness, that is worse than I could ever have imagined. Not all of the beard is the same length either. I don't know what I did to deserve this. Perhaps I slapped the barber's grandmother in a past life. All I know is I went there because it was cheap and quick, and I somehow still paid way too much money for what I got.
