I asked to keep the top long with a fade (2 and 1), trim the sideburns, and square off the back from the natural line. Jose listened carefully and confirmed everything before he started cutting, which I really appreciated. The neck shave was a nice touch, and the conversation was easy and enjoyable throughout. I left feeling fresh and confident. Highly recommend Jose--I'll definitely be coming back

The artist in him makes JP a perfect hair stylist. He takes his time and makes recommendations. I am an older dude so nothing crazy, but, it's nice to have some outside consultation.

I'd heard of Hammer & Nails and decided to give it a try, though I'll admit I've always had this notion that luxury salons aren't as good as traditional barbershops. ​Hammer & Nails completely shattered that idea. Their barbers are extremely skillful. Bruce has been my guy since my very first visit, and he's fantastic. I was so impressed with the quality of service that I actually ended up becoming a VIP member. ​I love that they normalize men getting nail care and other grooming services. My membership gets me three premium services a month, so I've paired my usual hair and beard care with regular manicures and pedicures. I truly don't have to worry about a thing--I just schedule, go in, and come out feeling incredibly comfortable and relaxed. ​The services themselves are top-notch. For the manicure and pedicure, the meticulous hot stone massage and gold sugar scrub are amazing and leave my hands and legs feeling tingly and refreshed. I've also taken advantage of their free upgrade days--the face scrub and deep mask services with my beard care are a perfect combo. ​If you're looking for a place that has master-level barbers and provides an amazing, relaxing experience for all your grooming needs, this is it. Highly recommend. Ask for Bruce!
