This is a great place for a reasonably priced haircut ($25), until they just announced they will be changing their basic haircut prices with an increase of $5.00 (effective 1/26). I probably won't be coming back with that increase in price. For that same price elsewhere, I could get an actual appointment and not have to sit around/waiting with a big group of people (no appointments for a price increase)? Nope, losing me as a customer. Bad move. read more

Emilie is great! She's very professional and approachable. Love going to places where you can build a friendly connection/interaction with someone. It makes the experience more genuine! read more

I've been coming to Steel City for about 2 years now and I have never had a bad experience. Despite changing my hair style every 6 months they have continually shared their knowledge in how to style and trim it correctly. Never worry about walking in as everyone there is able to take great care of your hair, spoken as a living testament to their service! read more

Really cool spot with a great vibe Great staff - Friendly and very competent They always do a great job read more

Walked in after school on a tues. for my son. Comfortable waiting area. Was greeted and seen quickly. The place was filling up fast. The stylist with glasses was lovely, listened, and she gave a quality haircut. When I asked how he liked it, his response was, "perfect." Haha, which isn't often from a teen. Thank you!! Found our new go-to spot. read more

I saw good reviews, so I decided to take my 10 year old for his first big boy haircut...or one that isn't done at home by my husband. The shop is clean and stylish. Kris, the owner, was amazing with my autistic son. She was fun and polite, and very patient. She gave him the exact cut he wanted. I looked at different shops and the prices were all over $20 for a kids cut. I was pleasantly surprised it was only $15! My son is very happy and can't wait to show off his hair in school. read more

Heather was friendly, fun to talk to, and did an amazing haircut!!! She knew haircut I wantef what even though I couldnt really explain it.

We had the BEST first haircut experience for our son today. The staff was welcoming and made our son feel comfortable in a new environment. We had Kristin cut his hair and you can tell she was experienced dealing with children. They gave us a first haircut certificate and a lock of his hair and we all left with smiles. Overall great experience and we recommend to all parents for their children's first haircut. read more

When I returned to my native Lehigh Valley a little over a year ago one of my first priorities was to replace the barber I had been with for 32 years in Illinois. After some frustrating and disappointing attempts with other shops in the area I decided to give Steel City Beards & Shears a try. My cutter that day was Kris, who is the co-proprietor and owner of Steel City. She was excellent! Kris was friendly, personable, professional and highly skilled. My hair that day was still in bad shape from the previous cut done elsewhere, but Kris did an exceptional job of getting it as close to my customary look as could be done with some of the errors of the previous cut not yet fully grown in. I was very impressed to say the least. I returned a few weeks later with the too-short areas now filled-in, and once again Kris absolutely nailed it! My second cut with her looked like she had been cutting my hair for years. I am very pleased to have found my new cutter! read more

Kris was amazing for our little man's first haircut! Clean place and fast service! Thank you! We even got a sample of his hair and a sweet certificate! read more

My husband went here and said he had an excellent experience with Hailey, she was very prompt, and listened to exactly what he wanted. He said he would gladly go back anytime. read more

Highly recommend this establishment . Super friendly staff amazing haircut 1000 thumbs up

We were in town for a hockey tournament and had some time to kill so I convinced my son to get a hair cut. He said he wanted it styled because he wants to grow it out. I searched for a men's hair salon and found this place. It has a trendy decor and Kim had him in a chair by the time I parked the car. He told her he was going for a "flow" and she knew exactly what to do. Great service and good price. Highly recommend. read more

Nice little shop. Friendly and fast. I was a walk-in and when I got there both seats were occupied. I was in a seat within 5 mins and done around 20mins after walking in the door. The shocking part, I felt better than the 45 min cuts I've been getting around town. Heck! I didn't even have time to doze off lol. I'll be back again soon. read more

Do NOT GO AFTER 7pm!! I've been coming to this shop since they opened! It's close and usually I don't get there much after 6ish. Well I made a huge mistake by going at five minutes after seven tonight! WORST CUT I ever had!! It is so dark in the establishment that one side of my head is faded higher than the other; but I didn't even see it until someone TOLD ME! read more

I'm a new customer here. I had been going to my old barber for the last 18 years but I've always been picky about how my hair was styled. After moving to the Lehigh area I needed to find somewhere new. A friend of mine recommended me here, and I forget who cut my hair (maybe Allison), but it's was exactly as I preferred. My fiancée liked it too, enough so that it's how she wants it done for our wedding. I will certainly be back every time I need a cut. read more

Kris was very open to my vision for my hair and was also very kind. I felt well taken care of and I could tell that she took her time in ensuring my cut was exactly what I had asked for. I loved how my cut turned out and I would highly recommend the shop to anyone who is looking for a professional and positive experience. read more

I'm a new customer here. My son recommended the place to me and I'm grateful. I'm a bit picky about my haircuts... I know a good cut from so-so, and this place delivers. Now a loyal customer. read more

Thank you Kris for fixing my sons very bad haircut! We have finally found our place. Highly recommend, we will definitely be back.

This was an amazing experience, she did my hair perfectly. I decided to get a shave. I had never had a shave before and it was a very natural experience, it felt like a spa day. From the hot towels to the facial masks. You guys gained a life long customer. read more

No one does it better. From the moment you walk in the door of this well polished barbershop you are greeted with a smile from the owner and stylist, Kristin. My wife is very particular with her hair and trusts nobody else with it. Kristin has many years of experience and is always looking to outdo herself. For the price, service, and friendliness, you owe yourself to try this place out. You will not leave disappointed. Kristin can work wonders with her shears and the whole time will make you smile with her friendly personality. She definitely has a customer for life with my wife and I. read more

I've been getting my hair cut and beard trimmed/shaped at Steel City Beards and Shears since shortly after they opened. I was searching for a new barber after using the same barber for 30+ years and couldn't be happier with Kristin. She is friendly, the shop is always clean and looks nice. Always has a conversation during a quick, clean cut. I've never been dissatisfied with their services and I highly recommend this shop to anyone Male or female. read more

Great cuts, nice waiting area, fair prices. Can't complain and keep coming back for my regular hair cuts. Wait times are reasonable but call ahead read more

My little brother and I came in for a haircut after seeing all the good reviews. My brother is 4 years old and moves a lot so it's hard to cut his hair. However, the woman that cut his hair manage to give him a clean-cut and fast. She engaged with him and made him feel comfortable. After we left, he couldn't stop looking at himself and called his haircut "amazing". As for me, the same thing. She listened to all my lengthy requests and knew exactly what I wanted while taking in consideration my face shape to give me the best cut. She was precise and fast! Awesome job, we'll definitely be coming back! read more

The shop was very nice inside and the haircut was clean but the beard trimming was not what the name of the place would suggest. She spent maybe 3 minutes total on trimming my beard and didn't shape it up. Would not recommend this place for beard care. read more

My family just moved back to Bethlehem after spending a few years in Easton, and I needed a new place to get my hair cut and beard trimmed. I found Steel City through Yelp and visited it yesterday for my first cut. First, the location and design of the barbershop are great. It looks fresh and modern inside, and I was greeted by both stylists when I entered. After only a short wait, I was helped by Allison who did a great job on my hair and beard. She was pleasant, courteous, funny and very helpful. It was an excellent experience and I will be returning for all future cuts and trims. I highly recommend Steel City to anyone! read more

Super friendly and great cuts. I'm usually in and out in 20 minutes although now and then there is a short wait. Def recommend.

Best place to get your hair cut ever.. you know how you try a barber and they give u 2 good haircuts in a row and the 3rd is like they're drunk when the did it ...well I sure have I have been to 6 different places to get my hair cut before I found this one.. and this one is the best ..good service, clean, remember you, and always a smile and a laugh..just go.. read more

Don't waste your time looking for any other barber shop in Bethlehem!!!! This is THE place. Two beautiful young ladies who give 100% attention to their customers. The place is super clean and inviting. The prices are as good as what you receive at a place half as good as this facility. read more

Worst haircut ever. Stylist doesn't seem to be able to see a picture of a style and replicate it. Instead you get what she wants. haircut two inches shorter then what you asked for! And totally different style then the picture shown to her! Never never recommend this place to anyon! read more

Took a chance after looking for a new haircut spot and it paid off. Interior decoration fit with the whole vibe of a older barber look with a new twist. Wasn't 100% sure what style or how I honestly wanted my hair cut, but stylist was patient and fixed my mess. Will be going back again. read more

After going to some of the chains like Workday Hair, Not-So Great Clips and Hair Butchery, I finally found a place that I like and that I can call "my" go to place to get a haircut and to trim the beard a bit. A modern twist on the classic barbershop. The prices are more than reasonable and the ladies that work there definitely know their stuff. The hours are very accommodating and I've had nothing less than an awesome experience everytime I've patronized them. I hope they stay around for awhile. The only negative (which doesn't affect my rating)is that when it does get busy, they rely on first come-first served basis, but on the honor system, so sometimes it could be easy to forget where your place in line is if you get sidetracked easily. Maybe some kind of notepad to write your name down would help alleviate that minor issue. read more

Friendly staff, clean environment, and a nice blend of classic and modern aesthetic. Been looking for a good barber shop nearby for awhile. Won't need to look anymore! Definitely making this my go-to. read more

I had an amazing hair cutting experience today. It has been a long time since I have gotten my hair done being a mom of 1.5 year old quadruplets and a 4 year old. I needed a new, fresh look, and I was not disappointed going to Steel City Beards and Shears. I was in and out in a short amount of time, but that did not detract from the time put into crearing my my new do'. I am not high-maintenance and do not care for spending an inordinate amount of time getting pampered, so to be able to walk in and get my hair done on short notice without fuss is highly appreciated. I will definitely be back! read more

Kris always delivers top notch service and she is a wizard with shears! She's great to interact with and you can just chat away with her while she does her magic. If you're picky about your cut or dissatisfied with where you currently get your cut, then do yourself a favor and come here. You don't need to shop around anymore. Come see why everyone is so loyal to this place. This is the only place in BAE area that I will ever go. read more

Little hard to find. Definitely a great place though! The two stylists that were there are very kind and sociable. I didn't really know what I wanted but with some talking and some suggestions, I've never been more pleased with a haircut! I will definitely be going back. Price was perfect, salon looked really neat, and the staff weren't trying to sell products like at chain hair places. The stylists also had some very handy tips to keep hair healthy as well as your skin. read more

I took my son here for his first haircut. Kris did a great job. For a one year old he sat very still. She stayed very interactive with him the whole. Before we knew it, she was done. Certificate in hand. On top of everything else, my wife was very pleased with the results. Thanks again Kris read more
