    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.

    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!

    Really disappointed!

    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

    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.

    Leather easy chairs and a warm, inviting atmosphere

    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! ‍

My review is based on my visit - Friday afternoon - 5 April 2024. Don't be a fool - This place gets busy for good reason; - Caliber's is "Classy" and employs only Quality and Skilled Barbers; They offer an array of Men's Grooming Services - which I'm looking forward to trialing in the next few months. I was extremely impressed by the professionalism and efficiency of scheduling my service. I spoke with "Genevieve" - She was extremely patient and courteous, I had to move my appointment around a bit. Upon arrival at my visit, I was offered a cold and refreshing beverage of my choice and they have an incredibly comfortable seating area to relax. The entire experience is catered to the Customer and you start to feel comfortable and relaxed - the moment you walk through the door. This Barber Shop is clean, spacious and shouts an old school vibe; - Just a very classy place. Parking "Could" be a bit of a challenge; - But, just relax - I promise you that you will find something. Worst case scenario, they have some paid options with minimal cost and/or you can find something on the street. This is really a hopping neighborhood! This wouldn't be a "Proper" review if I didn't take a minute to talk about the "Star of my Experience" - Master Barber "Brian L." - I'm not sure if I was a Customer / Client and/or Patient - But, "Brian" was just a star; - I have to confess - I cheated, "Brian" received tremendously exceptional feedback about his personality, service delivery and Master Barbering Skills from my boy "Mark" - who stumbled upon him - on his quest to find the perfect haircut and shave. I went with the Full Service Haircut; - I really wanted to get a Shave as well - But, I arrived with "Insufficient Beard" for that! - Anyways - Lavender infused Hot Towel send me into Nirvana; Brian shaved my neck perfectly. Overall - the entire experience was pampering and relaxing - every aspect of it. Let me wrap it up, I'm happy to report - I found my Barber in Charlotte - "Brian L." - I also found my Barber Shop. A+ / 5 Stars / Cinco Estrellas! ;-)

    I figured it was appropriate to post an update as current conditions warrant it…read more I was able to get an appointment on their second day open after being closed for 9 weeks due to COVID. It had been 11 weeks since my last haircut and absolutely nothing had been done to the mop on top of my head in that time. It was brutal. It's important to mention that yes, I did wear a mask and wash my hands upon arriving as required. And my stylist (Mallory) wore a mask during the entire appointment as well. They've done some rearranging and spaced out the chairs to accommodate distancing and blow drying/hand details aren't currently offered either. Considering it was almost 3 months since my last haircut these minor inconveniences didn't bother me at all. Mallory was ready for my right at my scheduled time. Aside from the few changes already mentioned it was like nothing had changed (except the few jokes made at my hair's expense when I first sat down!). Got my shampoo, a perfect cut, and condition then happily bought a bunch of products that I was running low on when it was time to check out. Scheduled my appointment for next month and was on my way. I also want to point out that these businesses have been shut down for months and in order to reopen were given an entirely new business model that they had to abide by. Employees have been out of work for over 2 months. No one asked for this, but they are learning on the fly and doing what they can to make sure the customer has the best experience while they figure it out. If you can't handle that it might be better to buy a Flowbee and continue staying home for the next few months. I chose to happily sit back down in Mallory's chair and enjoy another top notch haircut. Thanks EJ staff, see you next month.

I've been going to see Emily who takes care of the cut pretty well. There have been some times where she gets super backed up so I wait - even when presented the option to have someone else (that is free) to do my hair. My problem is that I am getting older and I just really like sticking to the "plan" and not having to explain my haircut a million times to new people. Also a problem when getting older, I like convenience so this place is not that far from me. It has a parking deck (CLUTCH) and is super easy for me to get seen here.

I don't think the management here is very good. There is a lot of turnover, which is a indicator of bad management. A lot of of the stylist I have grown to love over the years, have moved to completely different salons. The stylists have never complained about the management, because they are professional, but I get a sense that that is an issue. Still, on the hole, this is the place I still go to get my haircut and still am able to find excellent stylist that can basically give me any cut that I want.

    Do not come here if you are expecting a great hair cut. I was really disappointed with the service…read moreI received here for several reasons: 1. I was given a hard time because I wouldn't take off my mask as they stated "it is not possible to give a hair cut with a mask on." I went against my better judgment and decided to give them a shot anyway despite the reluctance the hairdresser had to actually put on a mask in exchange for taking mine off. 2. The hair cut itself was very rushed and was paid no attention. I said not to cut it too short twice, showed a picture of exactly how I wanted it, and it still was cut really short... 3. This place doesn't feel welcoming or friendly so that combined with the issues above shouldn't warrant the price they charged. I have had better experiences at cheap franchises at half the cost. All in all, it was a really poor experience and I really have a hard time finding any positives.

In a time when ADHD is the norm, the mark of real talent is knowing how to cut the remaining hair of balding guys, let alone a full head of hair. I found Dapper by accident, and I am very happy with this gem. I now schedule from their website easily. Stephanie listens to my concerns of how to cut my five strands of hair (sarcasm), and quickly handles all those concerns with adept talent. The cut ends with a hot towel and a neck shave, (they take Apple Pay!), I was off to my next appointment.
