Every since the pandemic started last year it's been tough trying to find a new barber that could cut my hair since my barber stopped when this started. So I started asking around, good recommended, and online. Came across spinning chairs as one of a few good reviewed shops. Plus their real close which is another one up. Was a little hesitant at first cause the price is too high for a haircut BUT WAIT hear me out, the treatment you receive (Yes, treatment) is well understanding why their prices are up there. Booked my appointment and said "I'll give em 1 opportunity" and I'm honestly glad I did. Was greeted by one of the good brother, barbers as I entered name Jerry. He was already working on somebody so he told me he'd be with me I could sit in the lounging area. First thing I noticed, shop is very clean and well kept. Automatically you get relaxing, chill vibes while you wait and watch the two TV's in the back. When I was up I told what cut I wanted then he got to work. Mannn, let me tell yall this was a experience. The treatment from the shampoo to facial make you feel like a King or how females do when they go to the spa lol. Definitely validated why the price is up there. Not gonna lie, during skin care I did get a little jumpy when he put the hot towel on my face cause I'm new to that lol. Told my man "My fault, I had to embrace myself for that" but he told me "It's ok, if it get's to be too much just let him know. Relax" All I needed to hear. That proved decent and understanding customer service right there cause I did like he said "Relax" so the treatment was everything along with my cut. Knew my beard was going to get treated right too cause he also has a nice beard. So I knew I was in good hands from the door lol. Honestly, If you wanna look smooth and feel it this is a go to. Definitely will be back. read more

My son (who is 2) and I went early Wednesday morning and was greeted by Jerry who was very friendly. My son was getting his first professional hair cut and was nervous. Jerry took his time with my son's hair and it turned out nice. The haircut really fit his face. Spinning Chairs has a chic ambiance, with beautiful chairs and is kept clean. They accept cards which is very convenient. My son's haircut was $25. read more

LOVE this barbershop in West Philly! I've lived in 5 different cities, so finding a decent Black barbershop is always a struggle. My homie who was visiting me actually found this spot and this is the only spot I fully trust! Jerry hooks it up every time and the other barbers are dope too. Yes it's $50, but it also comes with a decent facial, the music is nice, it's not one of them toxic Black barbershops, and the vibe is hella chill. Make an appointment online, and let those gentlemen take care of you. They're also LGBTQ friendly read more

Fast and great service! My natural hair looked like a Chia Pet. I was driving by and saw the shop was open so went in. Mike sat me without an appointment. I showed him the taper cut I wanted and he worked his magic. I was done in less than 30-minutes. Very friendly for men and women, and reasonably priced. Well definitely return. read more

I loved my experience! I came here to prepare for a wedding that I am one of the groomsmen. Shape up, hot towel treatment, and beard steaming are some of the services I made sure I was acquainted on this visit. There was a nice jazz ambiance in the place. The feel is Harlem in the 70s. They also had complimentary food this morning . I will be back. read more

I called for an appointment for my 12 years old today. They wanted $40.00 to cut a boy's hair. I think that is excessive, but I don't know their overhead. I'll keep looking for an affordable barbershop. My rating is based on price and not service. read more

I really, really want to give a good review to "Spinning Chairs" but I can't. The people who work there seem like kind, hardworking folks, and it is obviously a very new business. When you walk in, there is spare decor and unfinished walls towards the back. The bathroom is barely functioning and doesn't even have a mirror. So I'd like to think that my experience is due to the newness of the establishment... but things that I experienced can't be written off to just that. I walked by today and had planned on going somewhere else to get some stuff done, but I thought, why not give a new place a try? I brought up their website to see how much a beard shaping or trim would be and it said $20 - a decent price. The website also advertised that if you pay online, you receive $5 off of your services. I walked in and there were two men at the barber chairs. One was already working on a client but the other was free. I inquired about the $5 discount and I was told that to qualify you have to pay online several hours in advance, but since I was a new customer they would make an exception; very generous. I told them that I wanted to get my beard - about 2 months of growth - shaped into mutton chops with a mustache. This is where warning bells started to go off, as they both looked at me like they had no idea what I was talking about. I reiterated that I wanted mutton chops, and made a gesture on the sides of my face to indicate what I was talking about. One of the men - the one already with a client - seemed to understand, but the other still looked puzzled. They communicated about it and then the second man seemed to understand, but I was wary. Mutton chops are a well known beard style, and for employees at a barber shop to not immediately know what I was talking about took me aback. I asked the man who was to be my stylist if he really knew what I was talking about and had done them before, and he assured me he did/had, so I took a seat and he began to work. As he was doing the work, I felt him trimming around my chin area, and I thought that was odd since that area gets completed shaven for mutton chops. I thought, perhaps he is just evening out all of the hair to one length and will then shave that are away, so I sat patiently. He ended up pulling out a straight razor which surprised me. I've never had a straight razor shave where the chair stayed upright; it's always tilted back. After 15-20 minutes of work, I felt him move back to my chin area, and I had to say something. I said "I'm sorry, I don't mean to interrupt, but it seems like you're leaving hair on my chin." "Oh did you want me to take off more?" he said, at which point I asked to look in the mirror. He had basically left me with a full beard - admittedly trimmed and shaped well, but not mutton chops. In addition he had shaved down the inside cheek area, meaning it would now be completely impossible to do a traditional mutton chop. I asked him what was going on and why he wasn't shaving my chin, and it was clear that from the get go he had NO IDEA what a mutton chop was. His co-worker had to explain to to him again, and eventually they 'got there' when he exclaimed 'Oh, like Wolverine!'. He then went back in and did the best with what was left to work with, and I ended up with a very low, very non-traditional looking mutton chop that I'm honestly not very happy with, but by the time it became clear he had no idea what he was doing it was too late. In addition to everything, HE CUT ME TWICE - BLEEDING CUTS, and where he DID shave with the straight razor it was left looking patchy. I paid anyway because I'm a chump and I just don't like confrontation, but I will never go back here, and I have to leave with the conclusion that the stylists/barbers on staff are not very well trained or skilled. As much as I wish I could support a new business, between pretending to know (but not knowing) a very common beard style and then cutting me, I cannot advise ever coming here. read more

I finally stopped in here after walking by many times. Like everyone has said: booking online was great, paying by credit card was easy and convenient, the space is classy and chill- and most of all the cut I got was great. Jerry also asked lots of questions and checked in with me along the way so he could make sure he knew what I was looking for. Highly recommended and definitely coming back! read more

My first time here and the absolute last. I stopped in on Monday without an appointment for a shape up. I waited about seven minutes and was serviced. The shape up was the worst in my entire life from the beginning to the end. The barber asked what I wanted and did nothing in which I asked for. He stopped and talked to others in the barber shop multiple times while in the middle of butchering my hair line. He didnt even bother to shape up the back. I had to ask and all he did was make a square. He also sprayed some black dye (I think that's what it was) in my hair without asking. To add insult to injury, he charged me $25 for a womans hair cut when I barely received a shape up. I was in a rush. My sisters funeral was later that day so I did not complain. I paid, left a tip and went on about my business. read more

I got a cut from Jerry this weekend and have been getting compliments ever since! I was a walk-in, and they had a chair for me immediately. Jerry was kind, professional, gave me the exact cut I wanted, and was fast. Not to mention, the prices were very reasonable. If I were local, this would be my new spot. Thanks ya'll! read more

I have curly hair. I like it short, narrow at the sides, with some height, and I like a fade. Jay does it all, quick, careful, clean. The fade is so nice people are stopping me on the street to compliment me. He knows how to cut curly hair, he listens well (crucial in a barber), he is hella precise. Good prices, nice atmosphere, online booking if you want. What's not to love? read more

My girlfriend and I passed by Spinning Chairs the other day and decided to give Jay a shot since we were looking for new barbers. It paid off! Fantastic service, great cuts, nice shop, overall great experience. Jay takes pride in having a shop that doesn't make you wait all day. Good guy, respectful, and makes sure you leave happy. We'll definitely be back regularly. read more

Spinning Chairs provides one of the best haircut experiences you could ask for. The shop is clean and classy with a comfortable waiting area, elegant storefront, and free WiFi. The barbers are all friendly, courteous, and most importantly, good at what they do. I get my hair cut by Jay who is a master in his craft. He takes his time and truly works to give you exactly what you ask for. He is meticulous and patient and cares about every detail of the cut. The barber shop is quiet and serene. No sports shows blasting at full volume. No barbers trying to talk your ear off about topics you're not interested in. Just focused artisans providing a friendly and well-done experience. I leave happy every time with a clean fade, a precise line-up, and an even trim. Great to have this place in the neighborhood and even better that you can book online with a clear calendar so you're not waiting or wasting everyone's time. read more
