In the search for a new barber after my place closed, I landed here. I wanted to find something…read morecloser to home but I couldn't resist the buzz and five star reviews Barber & Shave Shoppe was getting. My barber was Ashley D Page (there were two Ashely's so the last name is for clarification). She did a great job on my hair. She listened to what I wanted and executed. It kind of bothered me for some reason that she would never remember who I was. After going a few times and having personal conversations (I even bought her a sub one day because she said she never tried DB's Cheesesteaks across the street) you would think that person would at least remember that she's seen you in real life before. She did give an amazing cut though and was fun to chat with so I let it slide... haha. I love being able to use an app to see available times and book right there, but I don't like that it would often only give me the option to book a cut with Ashley and have someone else do the shampoo/scalp massage. Obviously it's the available booking times and the computer isn't going to have overlap but I appreciate going through the whole process with one person and I could rarely book it that way. Even when I did, I was sometimes passed off to someone else because they were running behind. When it came time for my next cut, I logged into the Vagaro app to book an appointment and there was nothing available... for anyone. I did some Googling and Facebook stalking to find out that a bunch of barbers all left around the same time. Maybe a mutiny of some sort... I don't have the deets. I thought about booking another appointment with someone else but I was turned off by the manager/owner commenting on the Facebook posts that stylists walked out on customers leaving them high and dry. Maybe that happened, maybe it didn't but either way, it's not a good look to be badmouthing your former employees on social. I found out that Ashley landed at Broad Street Barber which I'm not a fan of (personal reasons that may not be an issue for you... feel free to see my review) so I decided not to follow her. It seems that BSS has hired new barbers and are back on track. No real issue for me with the quality of the shop and their cuts but after the fallout they had, I think I'm moving on to a fresh start elsewhere.

If someone says they're concerned about the front of their hair why would you stand behind them while you cut all the length off the top? I don't understand how she got it so wrong like obviously everything I said went in one ear and out the other. I look like balding h!tler it's insane. She never introduced herself so I don't have a name but she was stationed closest to the entrance and she didn't ask if I liked the haircut she said "can you work with this" I HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE!!! Like why literally why? I got this haircut to take a new ID photo and now I have to wait however long it's going to take for the top to grow out and get a new fade! If someone is concerned about length leave more hair cuz you can always take more off don't mow it down to nubs and ask if they can work with it.

It…read moreused to be 5 stars in my opinion, however I've gone to three different barbers the past couple of months because none seem to stay available or the barbers leave the business. However, the reason why I'm writing this is because I booked a haircut recently on May 22nd at 3:45. I got the text message saying to confirm my appointment like I always receive the day before a haircut. I confirm my haircut appointment message by clicking CONFIRM like I always have. I walk in 10 minutes early to get checked in, only to find out that my name was not on the schedule! And that someone else was booked at the same time I was supposed to get my haircut. The lady at the front desk couldn't provide any information on what went wrong and just said "Oh that's too bad, i'm sorry" "maybe we can get you next week around Thursday, the 29th". I then asked, "Can you see me today as a walk in?" She goes, "Sorry, everyone is booked today" (Acting like I didn't book the haircut on the day I'm supposed to get one). And then, I asked "Who would have canceled the appointment when I have the confirmation on my phone?" She goes, "Looks like someone called and canceled the appointment". To which I was automatically frustrated by that and said "Who called? Because it wasn't me!" Couldn't help me and was a lousy excuse to cancel my appointment without my approval. Disappointed in how downhill this Barrelli has gone. Definitely recommend passing on this Barrelli until they get a new front desk representative replacement or at least somebody that's a little more competent.

Since the change in Ownership the "business environment" has become dirty; unkept; and lacks a presentation of pride. There are stains on the floor; built up hair layers on nearly every horizontal surface; full trash cans from the prior day; baskets of dirty towels; newspapers covering the benches - simply read and discarded; and barber chairs with grime covering the base. The appearance shows a change of leadership and lack of standards. Children "toys" in a stained plastic basket coated with cut hair is a visual signal - "We do not care." A business would better off not having the basket. A community barber is more than a $ 25 haircut. It should still be a gathering place; a source of pleasant conversation; and smiles. Memorabilia; when on display must be free of dust; dirt; and weeks of fallen cut hair. Those military personnel that contributed their meaningful caps; patches; and other uniform items may be surprised how they look "Under New Management." The cleanest item in the shop are the barber combs in the jars of disinfectant. Let's reestablish the workplace standards.

Ralph keeps a low profile because it's just a single chair and him in the shop. I was on the lookout for a new barber after mine moved and I found him on Instagram.

He measured parts of my head, took note of cowlicks, and started trimming. He is an old school guy and I appreciate his craft. I knew right away that I had found a new place to go on the regular. If you're looking for a barber who really knows what he's doing with men's cuts and beard trims, definitely book an appointment with Ralph.
