Do not recommend. Went in for a regular haircut, the stylist was too busy rushing me to pay attention to any form of detail. I mean I wasn't even done paying and they were onto the next client. Didn't even get my side burns even. For the price, I expected better and now must pay more money elsewhere to correct their mistakes. Not great. Go to a real barber shop that actually takes their time read more

Honestly can't complain my haircut turned out great and everyone was friendly at this location

Normally go to other locations but I tried this one on East Blvd and won't be back. I liked my stylist's personality and was very nice but I was dismayed at what she did to my beard - uneven and so completely destroyed my mustache that I literally had to shave once I got home. And for $60. read more

4 haircuts with 3 different stylists. Every single haircut is bad. They have no clue what they're doing. After my first two horrible cuts - I brought pictures of what I wanted and they failed miserably. Tried to give them a shot and they simply can't do it. This is a $60 SuperCuts. Go anywhere else. It's truly awful. read more

I've had consistently awesome haircuts from Ash for years. Never have to worry about it being inconsistent and the service is great. She's the best! read more

I've usually been a simple barber kind of guy, but my wife convinced me to try something different and I was grateful for her suggestion to try this place out. Great experience with my stylist Melissa. I was far overdue for a haircut, and she worked wonders. Once I sat down in the chair she was all business; figuring out exactly what I wanted and getting right to work. She is a master craftswoman, and within a few minutes I was so impressed with her focus and style. Great experience, I'll be back for my next cut for sure. read more

This was my first time here and it did not disappoint! Everyone was so kind and made sure I knew about everything they offer. Brittany did a fantastic job cutting my hair and I look forward to going back. read more

Awesome service had a hard time finding a good haircut place in Charlotte. Stumbled upon this one cause it was close to work I usually just book whoever is quickest and all the stylist do an amazing job. You're even greeted with a beer of your choice. Will be getting my hair done here for the forseeable future. read more

So I'll be completely honest, being a person of color I've never had a white person cut my hair. I'm headed to a wedding in a few days and the groom wanted us all to come here. My first question was do they know how to cut my type of hair? He assured me but I said let me call anyway to ask. The receptionist laughed and put me at ease right away. She pointed me into the right direction and Kelly did not disappoint. We had great convo and she constantly asked if I was okay and my thoughts on the cut. I loved every bit of it even the embarrassing parts (we won't share). Thanks for the amazing first time experience and I will definitely be back soon! read more

Great experience, normally I'm one for getting a quick haircut from your local chain but decided to try this place out for a wedding coming up and boy was I impressed. Super friendly staff, great haircut, timely, and they even have drinks for you while you wait your turn. Will be coming back! read more

Great experience for my first time. Easy to book and setup for an appointment. Greeted with an option for a beverage of choice and was quickly greeted to start my appointment. read more

Friendly and talented team, but after 3 visits I can confirm that you need to double check your service option before taking a chair as I have paid 3 different prices for the exact same cut. "Would you like a scalp treatment " during the wash does not disclose the cost....but you just got dinged. So if they were more up front with the up-charges and don't pad the original bill, you will do well here. read more

I received the worst haircut I've ever gotten here from Danielle. I was extremely dissatisfied and showed the general manager photos of my hair where there was a gouge and it was nothing like the reference photographs. They asked me to come in for a reservice with Renee the following night out of my own schedule. At that point they were rushed, she was rude and hurried, and did the work in five minutes and told me look it's all better when all they really did was even out the atrocious job by the previous stylist. I would recommend avoid this place at all costs. Their only goal is getting people in and out as quickly as possible and they have no care for hair. Providing "luxury" amenities is all well and good but next time I'd stick with a Great Clips or Hair Cuttery over this atrocious location read more

I've never received an "expensive" or "nice" haircut before, I had a barber I trusted back where I used to live and never strayed far from that. In all honesty, I was nervous about what this would entail but I was thoroughly impressed with Shear Excellence. The high-quality service even preceded the haircut. I was offered a beer or whiskey as I waited for the chair to open up and was asked throughout my time there if I'd like a refill. Marie did great work in finding a happy medium between my binge and purge hairstyles. I enjoyed the cut and thought the price was certainly worth it. Marie was kind and thoughtful and offered what she thought would help. I too was so impressed to receive a hand written thank you note in the mail a few days later. I'll be back. read more

Editing this review. Management reached out to make it right. That is all you can ask from a business. Good recovery. I hope it comes with some training around when things go wrong. Things go wrong. It's ok. Be up front and it doesn't escalated read more

Shear Excellence - Really disappointed! - Men's Hair Salons Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

I usually have had great experiences but recently had a bad experience with a stylist. That being said, management checked in and did/is doing everything they can to make it right. Can't be mad about that. Seems like a very well run business and am happy with how the situation was handled. read more

I've been a Shear Excellence customer for maybe seven years. Over that time they have been consistent with their hospitality and providing a good haircut. Their stylists have actively worked with me to achieve what I was looking for and often made it better. My current stylist is Renee and there's a reason I keep going back to her. She's funny, friendly and very good at what she does. I don't expect her to recall my name or our past conversations after time has passed as lord knows how many cuts she's given in that time, but she does. I appreciate the extra level Shear Excellence puts into making it a good experience for the customer and will continue to keep on going. read more

Hair dresser (her name is redacted) was very nice to my friend & gave him a decent haircut, except for going all Edward Scissorhands on his neck. She sliced & diced him. read more

Shear Excellence - Her Artwork - Men's Hair Salons Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Significant beta in stylist quality. Generally been good or ok, but I always provide the same description of what I want and results differ. Last time I went, which is my ~10th time in the last year, I just got up and left prior to the cut after explaining what I wanted because I felt like the stylists creativity and attitude was closer to what you'd expect at Great Clips except at double or more the price point. read more

The BEST mens salon in Charlotte, bar none! Always a pleasure to chill with a Bloody Mary while the superb Ms. Jazzmyn cuts and coifs my do! The atmosphere is warm and inviting and the staff is first rate. Im so glad I found a great local salon so soon upon my relocation to Charlotte. Keep up the good work ladies! ‍ read more

This place is hit or miss. Sometimes the haircut is great, sometimes terrible. I've had several instances where you are waiting 45 minutes for a pre-scheduled haircut time. read more

Missed an appointment and the business operator charged my card from a previous appointment for a full hair cut. I gave them no authorization to store my credit card information, horrible customer service when I called. Didn't need to provide credit card for appointment, so they looked up my card information then charged it totally wild read more

Kelly was absolutely fantastic and gave me an exceptional haircut experience. I also got my eyebrows, nose, and ears waxed for the first time ever, and she made that easy and smooth. Your location is such a classy space and I walked out relaxed and feeling like a million bucks. Big thanks to Kelly and team! read more

I recently moved to Charlotte and have been trying to find a good barber. I stumbled upon the positive reviews on Yelp and decided to give it a chance despite the $39 price tag. I was greeted with a smile and was asked if I wanted a drink (bourbon on the rocks). It wasn't long before someone was ready for me. I spoke with the lady and showed her detailed pictures of what I was looking to get. Moreover, I did ask her if she felt comfortable in her ability to get it correct and she said she could do it. The end result was okay, it was comparable to getting a haircut at hair cuttery, but at more than double the price. The haircut did look similar, but she didn't cut along my hairlines; it will be problematic when my hair grows out (meaning I'll need to get a hair cut in about 10 days so I don't look ridiculous). The quality of the haircut I received did not justify the price. Unless you plan on having 4-5 drinks, I wouldn't recommend. Perhaps the free drinks is to get you buzzed so you have a less regrettable experience? Good customer service though! read more

My boyfriend used to get his haircuts in other barber shop until I found this place. At first we were a little concerned because there are several reviews on Yelp saying that the stylists were not good at their jobs and it was pretty pricy. We went there on a Friday morning for the first time and the staff was very friendly. Katrina was, and has been my boyfriend's stylist since then. We just want a basic and natural-looking haircut; Katrina did a great job. The almost $40 haircut also includes shampoo, hot towel, and a short massage. There is a waiting area with comfortable sofas. People can get drink (including alcohol). They reply emails in a timely manner and it is easy to re-schedule the appointment if anything comes up. read more

What a great men's grooming center!! Renee is luckily back as a stylist and at a great location in Dilworth. It's easy to park and restaurants all around. The store offered coffee, water, beer which was nice! Very clean and very friendly. I'm biased but Renee is the one I would request. She always does a fantastic job and I consider her a friend now. I highly suggest this location and especially Renee for the absolute most amazing style ever!!! read more

Not just a ordinary salon, they serve alcohol and pampers you like a King. After your cut, they do wash your head and give you a nice scalp massage. You have a option to extend the massage if you want. They do live up to the name! read more

Have been going there for a while now for haircut, they got good hairstylists. Quite thorough and detailed. They do shampoo, conditioner and hot towel after the hair cut which is cool. Icing on the cake - Complimentary drinks . Parking garage is right next to this place. read more

Really great first time experience here! I was greeted when I walked in and offered a drink of my choice. Makers Mark neat. Maybe a 5 minute wait while I watched the baseball game that was on. Super cool and comfortable vibe there. Nice leather chairs. Lots of exposed wood. Very good looking shop. Kaitlin was awesome and gave me a great haircut. Head and neck massage, shampoo, overall a great experience. And for $39 (plus tip) its money well spent! read more

Shear Excellence - Complimentary whiskey or beer. Super nice touch! - Men's Hair Salons Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

If you have long hair; don't go here. I had hair past my shoulders and told her I was going to a wedding in 3 days and just wanted maybe a 1/2 inch off. I told her multiple times, do not take off much at all just a trim. By the time I realized it she was buzzing the back of my head...seems like they all give the same fade cut; which is fine if that's what you asked for. Nice place, and staff was very nice but that's my hair. read more

I usually like to get my haircuts at barbershops when I travel but when I'm home in Charlotte I always go to any of the Shear Excellence locations. Recently I went to this Dilworth location and got Erika to cut my hair. She was so helpful and had so many wonderful suggestions after I told her what I wanted. The results were better than I thought I wanted and I will be returning to her for my next cut. AND she's very friendly and easy to talk to. Thanks so much!! read more

Very professional and pleasant service- I got a great mens haircut from Amanda. I would definitely recommend it.

The Dilworth Shear Excellence experience has been genuinely phenomenal as long as i'be been going there the last 8 months but I have to admit that that's due in large part to my stylist, Ash. She's technically proficient (knew how to best deal/work with MY hair, as it's always had its quirks) and, on top of that, she's genuinely fun as hell to catch up with while she works her magic. I highly recommend her. read more

Got a cut from Miranda and had a great experience. She even stayed late to make sure I got the best cut. COVID safe, masks on the entire time and seats are spread out. 5 stars for how fresh I feel. read more

Great haircut experience! To be honest, I picked the place based on, yup, yelp reviews, but I still didn't know if I would like the pampering experience vs my normal: wait for 30min for a 5min haircuit routine. I made an appointment through their website (for the next day) and they responded back fairly quickly with confirmation. You can also try to fit yourself in if you call and see if there are openings, but I like the fact that there is an appointment system and that you don't spend a lot of down time in a waiting chair. I came in about 8min ahead of my scheduled appointment and had to fill out some more paperwork since it was my first visit. I was offered a beverage, which I took full advantage of... the hostess/greeter.... (what do you call the person that greets you at the desk at a hair place?) ran and got me a beer, with a koozie.... nice touch! I went and sat in one of the four super comfortable leather chairs at the front of the salon. Looking around from the waiting room, the place really caters to guys... tvs around, wood finishes, and just an overall relaxed vibe to the place. The hair products aren't really in-your-face here and I did notice that each station had a full-length mirror tilted at an angle so you can really have a great view of yourself. The other thing I noticed that the guys that were getting their haircuts seemed really relaxed. Sara, my stylist, came over and introduced me and lead me to her station. I talked to her about how I normally cut my hair while she took everything in. My hair had gotten pretty long so I left it up to her and she did a great job. Super professional and we chatted a little bit. She was super quiet and did acknowledge that that's her personality, but I can tell she is really good at her craft. I just sat back and enjoyed my haircut, shampoo, neck/back massage, and beer. I left with a new look and super relaxed. Would I come back? The answer is YES - gotta treat yo'self every once in a while. Luckily I have fast growing hair. ;) read more

This is a fantastic place for the man looking to have a great haircut. Higher end of reasonably priced, but still reasonably priced. Katrina is UH-mazing! The ambience is cozy, rustic yet modern. The staff is very courteous and there is a premium placed on customer service. The complimentary drink is nice too! I highly recommend this for the guy who's looking for a great place to get a great cut at a good price! Worth it. So very worth it. read more

Review update: after I got home and really looked at my hair, I realized I'd just gotten the worst, most expensive haircut, that I've had in the past 2 years. The hairdresser was really nice and gave a great back and head massage, but does not know how to do a fade. The owner got back to me after after my initial post and offered to have me come back in to fix my hair: unfortunately I had already gone back to NYC. The staff was friendly, and the salon had a good ambiance. I enjoyed the complementary beer, head shampoo, and the neck and shoulder massage that comes with every haircut. The price is a bit steep: $39 for a men's haircut. It only costs $15-20 in NYC for a quality haircut with the beer. And we all know the rent and cost of living is much higher there. Overall great place, but I would only recommend it if they dropped the price and improved on their skills. Maybe other hairdressers there are better than the one I had. read more

I have to update my review after finding out today both Nikki and Victoria left. They are exceptional stylist and I will be posting as soon as they start officially at their new salon. The environment and staff at Shear Excellence is exceptional. I have always had an exceptional experience, but the main reason for that exceptional experience was because of the detail to attention and perfect cut every time I received from Nikki. With Nikki no longer here, Shear Excellence has lost two regulars and my referral. I have updated my review lowering it from 5 stars to 3 because I have no good or bad comments regarding the other stylist at Shear Excellence. I can only say the loss of Nikki and Victoria was huge and I will not be returning. It took me 6 months before I found someone that knew my hair, the style and I could trust to do a great job every time. Very sad and disappointed to see two exceptional stylist gone from here. read more
