Today I went into Swade's Barbershop. I wasnt looking to get a haircut today, but I got caught in the construction zone and saw this shop that I never knew was there while I was waiting in the traffic. I decided I needed one and pulled into the parking lot. There were a fair amount of cars parked outside. I didnt really want to wait too long, but thought Id look inside and see what the wait time was going to be. Wow! what a surprise! You'd never know it by looking at the outside what a treasure you'll find inside. Right away I was welcomed by the staff (who were all busy cutting hair) and asked by very friendly woman to please sign in (later I found out she was the owner) and offered up a free drink and holiday cookies. Seriously, this was right out of a movie or something. The inside is all decked out in a western theme and even my favorite singer, Geroge Strait was playing in the background. The place was almost full and everyone seemed be talking with eachother~ there were 4 kids playing checkers and sitting at an old time school desk another young boy was coloring. I was assured right away that it wouldnt be long and took a seat next to a massive old display cabinet that looked like it was right out of The Big Valley or Gun Smoke television series. One of the barbers was giving a straight razor shave (I didnt even know they did those anymore) and another was giving a customer a shoulder massage with an interesting looking old fashioned machiene. I asked to use the restroom and was escorted back to a large room with a HUGE Waylon Jennings poster (this thing had to be at least 12 ft high) and more western art adorned the walls. I almost lost track of time just watching the people and enjoying the atmosphere. A young man approched me and introduced himself (Jessie or Jose) and I followed him back to his chair. What an enjoyable conversation we had and I must say... he did a fantastic job. I was even offered a warm towel at the end and I too, got the shoulder massage after he finished the cut with warm shaving cream and a straight razor on my neck and sideburns (which I havent had since I was a kid). I will certainly be back again. I know this is a long review, but I wrote myself a note when I got in my truck to make sure I remembered everything.. thats how great this place is. I highly reccommend this shop to anyone looking for a fantastic haircut and an out of this world experience. Great job, Swade. And the cookies were delicious! Jack read more

I started using Swade for my exclusive barbershop 10 years ago and I would not consider going anywhere else. I'd cut my own hair before I'd let anyone else touch it. The owner/proprietor is Anthony Flores, one of the most decent, friendly and skilled barbers you are ever going to find, and he runs a tight ship with his staff of the best trained and most motivated hair cutting professionals in Tucson. They aim to please. Swade is clean, neat, and airy, yet feels like a dark wood old fashioned establishment, an old West style man-cave full of memorabilia. It's a place you can relax and enjoy friendly barbershop conversations the way things used to be. And should still be but aren't. Not anything like a fancy chrome plated snooty art-deco places uptown, with pulsing music... this is a down-home, old school barbershop and once you've settled in, you'll feel like you've been going there your whole life. The TV usually has ESPN or other sports show on it. Guy themed magazines, heavy on the sports, all clean and decent for the kids too. Old school, yet they will give you the best example of any style haircut you can possibly want. Anthony and his crew always go the extra mile to make sure ever customer is satisfied, and include precision straight-razor trim, hot towels, and a relaxing shoulder rub down with an electric massager. You'll walk out of there looking and feeling like a million bucks. Prices are reasonable, too. Swade Barbershop gets my absolute highest rating. Give it a try. read more

I've been taking my son to Swade barbershop since it's been open almost 8 years now. Anthony and Jose cut his hair and my son LOVES their cuts. They are perfectionists! They edge up with detail, and all his friends compliment him. I love the atmoshphere at the shop and have never experienced such great customer service and attention to detail. And I myself, have been to many a salon - and they can't come close! Swade will "sway" any man away from the foo-foo "MAN" salons in town, which charge a guy $25 and up for a haircut! Often times, we'll stick around after the haircuts just to shoot the breeze and have a few laughs. Every gentleman receives a straight-razor shave around the ears and neck, followed by either a cool or warm face towl and shoulder massage. Complimentary sodas and water are in the fridge for the taking. This is the CLASSIEST barber shop in Tucson! No questions. read more

I have always used the normal shops like Sports Clips, Pro Cuts, etc. It wasn't until going to Swade that I found out I can obtain the exact cut I wanted. Not to mention the feeling of walking in and feeling right at home. The environment and couch are so comfortable, I have taken a few power naps and felt like I was in my living room! Anthony, Tyler, Rodney, are Jose are always uplifting and do a great job. I dare anyone to walk in there and not leave without a smile on your face. I have seen men and women of all ages go in and always see them walk out happy with the service they received. I trust every one of those guys with providing the same cut and service every time. Not to mention if you have had a hard day, their offering of a cold or hot towel is always that cherry on the top. HANDS DOWN BEST SHOP IN TOWN! read more

This is my 2nd cut here and my experience a second go around was even better than the first. As soon as I entered I was greeted and asked if I wanted a beverage! The place has a real men's barbershop feel from back in the day, a western style to the decor. It has an old school men's barbershop vibe to it; you know where you go in and talk with the guys about music, sports, woman and typical barbershop/water cooler talk! It's great and I got a repeat cut from Tyler, who is excellent and wasn't hesitant in answering my questions about hair cut options and recommendations personal to my hair. Well defiantly keep coming by and most likely will be my new go-to barbershop for that slick freshness! read more

Swade Barber shop is one of the best barber shops in Tucson. Everything is great here from their cool refreshments(Soda or Water) to their cool or hot towels they offer after the razor trim when your hair cut is finished. Ive had everything done here from a full face shave, to razor fade hair cuts. Everyone there is friendly and very professional and can handle any hair cut style you may want, if available Id recommend Anthony hes been cutting my hair for years and no one does it better. The other great thing about Swades is Monday-Thursday they take appointments which makes making time for a hair cut that much easier read more

I have been going to Swade's for years. Paul and everyone else there gives the best haircuts around. It is a little on the pricey side, $16, I tip heavy and leave the whole $20. But that is because it is worth it. The haircut is twice as good as any cost cutters which is worth it on its own. But the attention to detail, the straight razor, the warm or cool towel, the back rub, they'll even trim my eyebrows or trim that random hair that is growing where it doesn't belong. It is like a spa for men who don't want to admit they want a little pampering. I love this barbershop! read more

This was my first barbershop to try in Tucson and it will be my last. Why keep looking when you find the best on your first try?! I walked in without an appointment and Rodney seated me almost immediately. I told him how I usually get my hair trimmed and he got to work. The service was quick, precise, and the end result was awesome (especially the lemon sage grass scented cold towel). I'm sure the other barbers at Swade are great, but give Rodney a try. I don't think you'll leave disappointed. I sure didn't! read more

Prices are very good and a great environment read more

I've been a customer for almost a year. I'm always greeted and offered a drink. I never mind waiting since it has a feel of a comfortable "man cave' or of a barbershop of years gone by. The staff is courteous and professional. Every haircut is finished with a straight razor trim and the customer is offered a cold or hot towel as well as a massage. The customers see are from their twenties to their eighties as well as parents bringing their sons in for a hair cut as well. read more

I'm raving about Swade Barbershop in Tucson, AZ because the owner understands that some traditions are worth saving. His motto for the shop is "this ain't your granddaddy's barbershop, but it could be." The whole place has a cowboy and western theme with classic country music on the jukebox. The services are diverse, from traditional cuts to modern fades. All cuts come with a massage. You can even get yourself or your friends some soap or tonic in the apothecary. read more

Won"t go to another shop again! My first visit was this Saturday and it was also my first time getting a faux hawk. Jose paid so much attention to detail until he thought it was perfect. It was the best service i've received at any shop before. I will definitely let my friends know to go see Jose over at Swade barber shop. Haircut ends with a hot towel and a small massage over your shoulders. Don't mind the construction in the front its definitely worth going in. read more

I've been getting my haircut at Swade for a while now and I'm always happy with the results. They remember how I like it cut; it's nice to be able to sit down and just say "yep" when they ask if I want it the same way. Everyone is always friendly and I never feel pushed out when I show up near closing time. Good guys, good hair cut, what more can you ask from a barber? The country western theme is nice too. read more

Rodney is hands down the best Barber I have ever been too in my life, and I've been to a lot. From the great cut, to the straight razor and a Hot Towel to finish it off, this has been the greatest experience I have ever had.. and to think all I went in for was a haircut. The bar has just been raised Ladies and Gentlemen! I never knew what I was missing out on until I came to Swade Barbershop. read more

Hands down, swade barbershop is the best barber shop I have been to. I first got introduced to this barbershop about 5 years ago. Met Anthony (owner) and established a friendship immediately. Since then, I have had no need to look for another barbershop. Staff is extremely friendly and they all cut hair great! I recommend this shop to ANYBODY who is looking for a new barbershop. read more

I heard about this place from a friend and I met the owner at personal affair. I had been putting off a hair cut for way too long and then I popped in. Tyler cut my hair. It is PERFECT! He can't cut and talk at the same time, so, it took a while, but worth the wait. The shop has a great atmosphere, the staff is friendly and professional and won't hesitate to return. read more

Paul and his staff set a new standard for service and attention to detail. I have referred several friends to Swade and the ones who have been there say they will never go anywhere else. Straight razor shaves, warm towels, massage... you just don't see this kind of service often. Don't mind the construction, it is worth the little bit of hassle. read more
