I've been going to The Bar Ber Shop for over a year now and I've been satisfied with the service. The environment and personality of the staff make it a comfortable visit every time. This is a great place to get all your hair service needs. I have a big beard so I know I'm good hands when I come to The Bar Ber Shop. read more

Amazing customer service and shoppe where all are welcome! Kev is the barber that cut my hair and he was amazing and paid attention to detail. Love this place and will continue to go here. read more

Just brought my son up there and the barber told me that he wouldn't be able to line my son up because he "didn't want to wrestle" with him, but also still charged me full price for the haircut, my thing is , if you wasn't going to line him up then you shouldn't have even started the haircut in general smh , terrible experience read more

Great setup but man this was the most expensive basic haircut I ever had in my entire life and I'm 49 years old. 55.00 for a cut. Come the fuck in man that shit it's strong armed robbery !!!!!!!! read more

I've been here off before for a woman's fade and always had a good experience. Something changed, though. I made an appointment for 12pm on a Sunday. The barber came in 10 minutes late, and then when I asked him to take my hair down a little bit more, he told me he was on a schedule. It felt disrespectful and rude. Going forward, I'll find a female barber so I can get better service. read more

For Females & Males! The staff is super fun and welcoming. You will not be disappointed. I was nervous cutting all of my hair off. But Javan has not disappointed once! My cuts are fire!! read more

See all

Friendly and convenient service. I've had both of my sons get their cuts here recently and have been satisfied with the work done.

First it's things first. Easy to find? Check. Enough parking out front? Check. Greeted immediately upon entering? Check. The interior was well lit and clean. I booked my session on line and as getting the time slot was most important to me I didn't have a preference for which barber i was getting. I ended up being assigned Rachael. I booked for a razor bald cut, their "Beard of the God" option with enhancements. Total damage was $70 plus tip. The atmosphere inside is professional but laid back. Rachael was worth every penny. Her attention to detail was top notch but her facial message was worth the price alone. I went mid day on a Wednesday so it didn't seem that crowded and the accept walk ins as far as I know. If you're in the Raleigh area stop through, I get the impression that they are all good. read more

I absolutely love this place! The owners and the entire staff are genuine, professional, fun and amazing barbers. I'll never go anywhere else. I'm home! I'm read more

The Bar Ber Shop - Barbers Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

I love the concept of the Bar Ber Shop, but still think the "Bar" is only there as part of the decor. Why? Because there is no pricing on beverages, and, as one earlier yelper put it, no one ever offers anything from the bar. ( I saw the barbers get water from a fridge in the back.). But, I digress. The purpose of my review is not to debate the usefulness or current state of their bar. I've been to this shop three times for my grandson to get his hair cut, and his hair cut just as short as mine. I wear a short fade. Takes fifteen to thirty minutes to hook me up right, including using a straight razor on the lower sides and back To set the tone for this review let me express the fact that I would much rather watch. paint. dry, or grass. grow. at. eye level, than to sit....waiting....for hours....to get a friggin thirty minute haircut. Don't torture me, Kill me first! Haven't been to a barber on a Saturday in over a decade, and never will again! I am an appointment client and I will pay extra and tip extra for a good barber to get me in, cut me right, and get me out! They can't seem to do that at The Bar Ber shop, even with my grandson. My appointment was at 7:30. I got there at 7:15. He finally got in the chair at 7:55. I...am...not....the.....one. Kill me first!! TIP! Learn how long it takes do to the things that you do, then adjust your appointment times accordingly. Don't offer appointments if you can't stick to them. There for professionals, barbers and customers!!! read more

The very professional. They just do by appointment because of Covid but I managed to get a haircut at 2:15. Came in was greeted with love and got my haircut. The owner and staff are very professional. Will be coming back read more

1st off, let me say that the ONLY reason I am giving this place such an abominable score is due to the highly inflated pricing structure. Now on to the nitty gritty. I had an event to attend Monday morning and noticed my head was lookin uber rough when I happened to look at it Sunday morning while waking up. YIKES!!! How was I gonna find a barber shop in a town I don't know that's open on a SUNDAY?!?! I know!!!! To tha YELP machine...!!! After several search attempts & variations to 'search wordings', I came across the 'Bar Ber Shop'. How cool... A barbershop w/ an actual bar?!?! Cool idea... And it's open on Sunday. SCORE!!! Be forewarned, this little gem is hidden. When I say hidden, if u don't know where you're going, you'll completely miss it. It's behind a thicket of trees in the Walmart Shopping Center, to the farrrrr right. Good Luck. There isn't even any signage at the entrance of the shopping center so you at least KNOW ur in the right plaza. I digress... Now for the cut. This young dude sitting at the front desk said he could take me. Shoulda been flag #1. I follow him to his chair ... Which happens to be the very last chair (my understanding is barber chairs are assigned in order or experience / popularity) flag #2. All I wanted was a line/ edge-up bc I don't know this barber. I just wanted to look presentable. A line-up should take no longer than 5-10 mins MAX. I ask him to simply taper right at my ears so at least it looks like a cut. That took about 5 mins... So why was I in his chair for 45 mins? Who knows... Flag #3. Then ole boy whipped out a post card and some spray and started spraying my head... Me: 'Yoooo! WTF are u doin, dude'?!?! Him: 'I'm just applying a blah blah blah. It'll fill ur head out'. Me: 'so it can look painted? No thanks. A) if u have to use a post card to apply a product, I don't want it. B) if it doesn't grow out of my scalp, I don't want it added. Cool'? Him: 'Aight. I mean, I was just tryin to make u look younger'. ( no, he di'nt) Me: 'young man, I'm 44 and ur in ur 20's and I am more presentable than u at this very moment and I'm in sweats. Can we just finish this up'? He huffs and goes back to doing absolutely nothing on my head and we finish. Flags #4,5,6,7 & 8 Additionally, This 'Bar Ber' shop offered me no drink, either complimentary or for a fee... Not even water... But ur the "Bar Ber Shop" and that bar is part of ur cadre, right?!?! Aight. So, to recap, I sat in the chair, got an aight line up. My brother would have done a better job (but he was workin... SHOOT!!!). He started a process that I stopped and slightly taped by my ears, as asked. All-in-all, this is Raleigh and this should have been a $5-10 charge, at MOST. We get to the register and he says, 'Cool. So that's $20. Would u like to put ur tip on the card'? **silent pause** How much?!?! Man, get me tha FUUUQ up outta here. Here's ur tip... 'learn a proper pricing structure and don't assume a patron will be cool paying $20 when u didn't touch ONE hair on his crown' GTFOH w/ dat mess. I'm OUT!!!! I will say, however, the other barber working was doing an AMAZING JOB ... In the FIRST chair (just sayin)... So don't X this place off ur list just bc I got the 'young buck'. As long as u get an experienced person, I think u might be quite pleased... I simply didn't get that chance. read more

I found these guys through Taji's Natural Hair Salon, and I feel like I won! Reggie certainly put a lot of thought of the type of shop he wanted to run. It's beautifully styled, with a deep blue paint job , cushy black waiting chairs and large, comfortable barber chairs. There is always a young person managing the appointments (yes, you have to make one) and he or she is very professional. Not typical of most barbershops, I went there on a Saturday and (was late to my appointment), but I still didn't have to wait very long. Tawon is my barber and usually I take a picture of what I want and he gives me exactly that, no more, no less. But let him get creative, he's amazing. Oh! They promote other Black businesses, with a wide assortment of natural hair and skin products ready for purchase. The atmosphere is chill and fun! You can depend on hearing so good old school R&B and the guys are always laughing and joking with each other. It's just a nice place to be. I think everyone should come here! read more

Wednesday I went to get an edge up after not getting one for over 4 months. I have dreads so getting one isn't a big deal for me since I wear hats a lot. But I decided to try this place out after my friend suggested it. The guy who cut my hair was light skinned and the second chair from the entrance door. Anyways he was a pretty chill dude but he completely fucked me up around the back of my neck. I have scars and everything. I couldn't figured out why it was burning so much until my roommate looked at it and said that I have cuts on my neck. She took a picture and i was so surprised because a barber never cut me so badly ever lol but who would you all recommend here? Like the best barber? I want my edge up to be crisp and more defined next time. I want to come back but I would want to try the best here. read more

bro didn't even cut my hair he just took it down I asked for a fade and my line up is bad

Great place! Great experience! Got a cut and a facial hair trim from Reggie and he does a great job. Personable and welcoming. I will be bringing my son there this weekend and we'll be back from here on out. read more

why did u guys deduct 50$ from my card and I didn't get any hair cut and I called earlier to cancel my appointment

Just the right mix between old school sophistication and new school flare. Bringing my oldest a in here for the first time for a line up, we were greeted warmly and checked in. Its bright and welcoming, clean, the waiting area has nice comfy chairs and they'll offer you a soda or beer(21 and up). Our barber came over introduced himself and did a great job. I wasn't overly anxious to be done as there didn't seem to be as much of the adult conversation going on like you'll find at most shops. The wait was not overly long, and there was no line jumping because the barber was your friend. Will be bring my youngest back for his first cut, when the time comes. read more

Barber showed up 15 minutes late. Turned the chair, could see what he was doing. Then i reslized he was watching reruns of Martin. His phone, he answered it, try to cut my hair why talking. Cut weird lines, didnt ask for lines. Took 40 minutes to do a half hearted fade. read more

Chop Up :( Debacle... Worst! DISAPPOINTING EVER Dolla was revered/referred by friend so I thought great he's the best in Raleigh. I been in the hands of some very talented barbers in DC, Augusta, GA, VA, even NYC, and have had all kinds of shape ups, fades, even award-winning designs (art) but this "debacle" was unexpected! I have before and after pics that will leave you cringing! When I arrived in the chair I had healthy growing edges needing a shape up (even a fade that was not crooked). What I got looked more like crooked, bald edges that we all know looks crazy on melinated natural women! This barber Dolla didnt even 'suggest' that i not get a fade but instead a shape up that would allow my hair to keep its sexy, fly appeal what i got was straight lesbian, butch chop up that completely destroyed my look! I paid $15 plus a $5 tip he didnt deserve! Suggestion: LISTEN to your Patrons, PAY ATTENTION to Natural Females, (if they show you a pic of a shape up but you give her a fade..smh), Stop Watching TV, and Chatting on Social Media, talking on phone, while cutting heads! People gotta live with your mistakes! FACTS read more

These guys are timely and sharp. Clean and upscale, with a cool "bar" theme. Planning to be a long time customer here.

Took my son to get a cut... the atmosphere was amazing. Cool staff and children friendly! They are detailed and did an amazing job on my son's haircut. The prices are really good as well. read more

I went out on a Sunday afternoon looking for a cut. When I arrived I could tell that they are professionals and they care about their customers. I didn't have an appointment. I was impressed by the clean and open layout of the shop. I received great service and a great haircut. They are open on Sunday which is a plus. read more

I like this place but barber are not into making money they are into their friends, what I mean is if they have a appointment they will wait a hour before and after just to do that appointment! So if you are in hurry please think about each barber waiting on a appointment with 5 barber who does that! read more

Thank you Emma A. for recommending the Bar Ber shop. I read your review last night and made an appt this morning. Trevon was able to get me in within the hour. First off, the atmosphere was the best I have seen. Trevon knew I was nervous and made me feel at ease the second time he said, "I got you". Received a tapered female cut, he listened and made it happen! Trevon was very knowledgeable about the products and explained the difference between beauticians & barbershops. I purchased the "twist sponge" and a product to lay the edges down. It's also great to know that they offer color services. I am pleased with the results and will definitely be back to patronize this business. Oh, one more thing...open on Sundays!!! read more

Walked right in on a Saturday morning and they took us right away. We were out in 20 mins. Great with kids, even a 2yr old like mine. We'll be back! read more

The pro the shop is clean and friendly atmosphere. Great service was provided. Cons boys haircut was listed 10 I was charged 15 per child. 45 +15=60 ( tips for each barber) I could understand 15 for my 10 and 8 year old but for my 4 year who didn't complete his hair cut was ridiculous. read more

This barber shop is different from others as soon as you walk in you are greeted by everyone in the shop & as soon as you sit you feel good because you are in good hands I would stay in there for ever at the end it's a good barber shop read more

They don't give you Exactly what you want and I'm not pleased with how my haircut just turned out

I did the big chop in October and i wasn't to happy with the barber who cut my hair. A friend of mine told me about The Bar Ber Shop and so i thought why not. Well to make a long story short Keyonte is now my barber, and he is Great! He is down to earth, professional and always has a smile on his face. I will forever be a customer, Janelle is also awesome at the desk! read more

I've been coming here for about a year and I can truly say that I wouldn't trust any other barbershop in Raleigh! The vibe is always professional, customer service is unparalleled, and I always receive a quality haircut. read more

I bring my son here and I was SO impressed!! Everyone was nice, professional, and very talented! There was no cursing and craziness going on like at most barber shops! I also love the fact that they wear bow ties, and that they are all in uniform. Antuan is the barber that cut my son's hair, and that is who I go to each time! Way to go guys!! read more

I am new to the area and finding a barber is usually quite a challenge. Thankfully, I did a lot of research before I stumbled across this shop. Tawon cut my hair and I am extremely satisfied. I will be returning for sure. The customer service was great. What I also appreciate is that my appt was at 3 and I sat in his chair about 2 minutes afterwards. I think it's classy that all of the barbers were wearing bow ties. read more

The "barber" shop is one of the best I've been too. All the guys there are super friendly and give great customer service. My kids love going there and no matter who cuts your hair it's with a professional touch. I would recommend this shop to anyone. Don't look at the cost you pay for what you get, if you want a good cut with a cool environment this is the place. read more

Great service and great environment, however this is purely based on the service regarding hair. It looked great and I thought he used some techniques I'd never seen. I tend to let the barber do what he knows how to do. My hair looked great when I was walking out of the shop. When I get home, I like to wash my hair and apply my own product. Once I finished my wash and looked in the mirror, I noticed my sharp edges and clean lines disappeared. That's when I did some research and realized that the barber used some hair filler. Keep in mind I'm a 23 year old with a full head of hair. Long story short I was charged for a haircut, wash, and a 24hr clean hairline. ***let's disclose the use of products like this on future clients*** Now I need to find someone to just give me a shape up.... and the think he actually used a straight razor. Smh... I have never been to a barber and received a temporary hairline. Ridiculous. Don't go to chair 6. I asked for his business card and got a sticky note. Pass. read more
