Can't believe I've been going here for 7 years but the experience is worth coming back for again…read moreand again. My haircut is always quality and just how I ask for it. Brandon is my barber but having watched thr others work over the years, I wouldn't hesitate to go to or recommend any of them. Always hospitable and good value for what you choose for your cut. I recommend the hot towel treatment, but you can get by with only a haircut if you don't have a need for a shave. Great atmosphere with TVs on the wall and a great selection of music always playing on the overhead speaker. Do be sure to go online and book in advance as they are appointment only and the process is simple and easy. Book early as most of the barbers can be booked several weeks out.

Nova even said "I'm not touching it cause you'll blame me for what you screwed up" I guess I got a little aggressive on one side and now it was about as symmetrical as our current political parties. I'd heard of this place but I hadn't been to a barber since I was a kid in Carthage Missouri. This place is cool as shit. Retro decor, Tom Jones themed bathroom and they were playing Forrest Gump when I got there. That, and they have beer. I didn't get the dudes name who saved my beard but I'll throw one back in his honor. Great place. Cash only

I'm not one to post negative reviews, I'd speak to someone first…read more I got the worst haircut I've ever had. I'm retired, on a strict budget and I have to save for haircuts, it was a big deal to me. Tony has so many great reviews that I felt I was in good hands. He seemed like a nice guy, we talked about the cut. He basically did ever that I DIDN'T want. That would not be a big deal, sometimes it takes a cut or two to get it right IF THE QUALITY WAS THERE. It's a choppy mess. The fade I didn't want is choppy and uneven. I lost months of growth that I was specific about leaving as much as possible. , but I did say that if he needs to go shorter to connect everything that's ok - assuming he knew what he was doing. I felt ok after he was finished, I knew it wasn't great but when I got home ... yikes. It's like a joke it's so bad. In hindsight they were polite but I did not feel "welcome" ... I was hoping to find a regular barber. They are close and reasonably priced but obviously not a good fit.

Jaime did an amazing job! I wasn't aware that this…read moreBarbershop was run by all women, and I LOVE that aspect of it. Locally owned and ran by some beautiful ladies. They weren't afraid to tell it like it is, or being themselves, making it an enjoyable atmosphere. I was welcomed in a quickly offered a beverage (IPA), along with every other guest that happened to come through the door as well, even their friends were offered. Lots of laughs all around and joking from the ladies which made it VERY relaxing. I honestly thought I was going to fall asleep in the chair. Jaime was SUPER gentle with my hair cut. I have had my sides and back done before where I've been nicked or it was rough at salons and I didn't feel a thing. I also appreciated the fact that she took in account my concern for my curls and allowing that extra length just in case the bounce/scrunched up a bunch. Again I've been to places that haven't and I left crying. If you want to support a local business and better yet some lovely ladies then I strongly suggest coming here!

First off, I had a great (partial) haircut. I wanted to be clear on that. My review is more about…read morethe experience and the value for the price. I have never been to a barber before, but have been struggling to find someone to cut a feminine short haircut. This place seemed to fit my needs. I called to make an appointment as I was not familiar with barber terms and didn't know which scenario or which person fitted my needs and availability. The person I spoke with scheduled me with Cassie (after they inquired what kind of cut I was looking for). The place is off court and I knew parking might take some time consideration, which I factored in. I also saw a review on Google when a client complained about being late to an appointment and a response from the owner to that, which I agreed with. The space is small! For me, uncomfortably small. Everyone was in everyone's space and not much room for movement. No one acknowledged me when I came in, so I just took a seat and waited on the couch. My person was running behind and apologized for that. Something that bothered me was that they did not sweep up between clients. It came my turn and I had to awkwardly climb into the chair. I am used to a salon chair where it's at a lower level and they pump the seat up to the necessary height. I showed Cassie photos of what I was looking for in a cut and she made some suggestions and off we went. I don't know exaxtly how long it took as the other person was running late, but I would guestimate 20 minutes. This being my first barber experience ever (possibly my last), I found the experience lacking. I wasn't offered a drink, I didn't get a shampoo, she was very rough with my ears when shaving around them and the back of my neck felt a bit raw from all the shaving with the electric razor. Maybe this is common? I have nothing to compare it to. She did not cut the top hair at all (in hind site, it needed weight taken out). I go to pay and she tells me she is cash only. Ummmmm......ok.......that's fine and all, but I don't carry cash on me. She offered that I use one of those janky ATMs sitting in the corner of the restaurant across the hall. I was not happy and being in such close proximity to everyone else in the room, I didn't feel comfortable saying something. So? $50 + for the haircut and $6 in ATM fees was definitely not worth the experience. I noticed that other barbers had an electronic device to take payments, so apparently they each have their own payment system? The person I spoke to on the phone should have told me it is cash only and I would have planned accordingly and saved myself $6 on fees. Again, great (partial) haircut, however this barber shop is not for me. I have received a way better experience at many salons for the same price and even less. This partial cut was way overpriced. I do not know if I will give another barber shop a try.

Recommended to me, I decided to give this place a try due to its price and proximity to my home. It did not disappoint. Truc is my barber and she has always done a fantastic job.

She has even gone above and beyond for me when I had a scheduling conflict. You'll need to schedule an appointment ahead of time for availability. And they do offer other services as well. Just check out the website for those details. Highly recommended!
