Great haircuts, easy scheduling, and friendly staff! Leslie and Hope are amazing. If you're lucky you might even get to see the cute pug puppy. Have been going here for years and will continue to use their services while I live in CO. Consistently great quality haircuts, they remember your style and do an amazing job! read more

Had a great haircut with Angelina. I was on a tight schedule and she made it happen! Will definitely be returning.

Used to come here to get my haircut by Kat before they mysteriously got rid of her... Nobody can do my hair the way she does unfortunately. Thank God for social media! I wouldn't go here again based on vibes. U can find much better in this town. This is for broke college kids who don't care how they're being treated during a service they're paying for. As an adult I have standards, and this place doesn't cut it. ‍ read more

Devon gave me a great haircut and is super friendly. Been here a couple times and it's nothing but a vibe. Highly recommended!

Don't be fooled by the the pictures of the barbers here, they all know how to cut black hair (textured hair), they can give you the exact fade you're looking for--and they're friendly to boot. Megan hooked me up! My haircut at the Barber Joint was a pleasant experience after having visited one of the top "black" spots "Supreme" and and getting the feeling I was a little too alternative for them. (I have never been the Jordan-wearing type, sorry. ) At the Barber Joint , everyone was happy to see me. They also got me an immediate appointment as quick as I could get to Boulder (versus waiting a week for Denver cutters--what's the deal?). Megan listened and collaborated with me throughout the process. I'm pleased to have the proper cut for my vacation. TL;DR: I drove out an hour to get my black hair cut in Boulder--and I would do it again! read more

Leslie the owner did a great job giving me a mullet perm and a side mullet taper fade! Go see her she has your back! read more

See all

I don't really know where to start as I believe this is my first one star review. Although the women working here are friendly, this is the most unsanitary barber joint I've been to in my life. Adjacent to the hair wash station they leave the used/dirty towels in an open hamper. A cutting station had an open box of cereal and Girl Scout Cookies on it, looking like a college dorm desk. Seriously? I couldn't tell the last time they really cleaned the place outside of sweeping up hair. Furthermore, they are dog friendly (and so am I, I have one myself). But when you allow inside a dog that has just been neutered to pee and throw up everywhere, specifically at my feet and next to the hair washing station, I don't know what to say. I walked out smelling like dog piss. I've never been in a business outside of a vet where they place the comfort of animals above the comfort of clients. Now I can start talking about the cut. It's average, that's all you need to know. You get what you pay for--$25 plus tip. All in all, I don't understand how this place is operational. They have serious sanitary issues. I'll be taking my future business elsewhere. As for people scoping this place, I'd recommend the same. read more

Dropped by this barber shop today to check it out and I'm so glad I did. Kat was amazing and so kind. I'm not exaggerating when I say I just got the best haircut I've ever had. I got a skin low fade and damn did it turn out CLEAN. I will definitely be going back. read more

I got my hair cut and thought it was decent until I looked more closely at home and realized it was uneven in a lot of places. The employees were extremely nice but overall, pretty disappointed. Not a quality haircut. read more

Quick, easy, friendly, good conversation, and in and out in 30 minutes or so. You need a haircut, here's your place. Only thing is I have very curly hair. Told the stylist, "Lose the volume, keep the length." She cut a good two inches off the length. If I had a buck for every time that directive was ignored by a stylist, I'd be rich. I liked them so much that I wasn't mad, though. Hey, it grows back. They are used to fast, fast, fast here. That's all. When I'm in NYC I will pay $60 for the haircut I asked for. But here, it's express service and you get what you pay for. I'd still go back if I needed a clip in a big hurry. I would probably just have to slap the stylist's hand when she tried to lop off hair where I told her not to. read more

Over priced and sub-par. I did not like the atmosphere here. I walked in and it stunk like marijuana. To be fair it is legal but I still do not feel it is professional. They played new rap, and they played it loud(drake,fettywap,etc.), which I did not like either. The haircut itself was just barely acceptable enough that I did pay for it. Any more and I would have not paid. Finally the price was ridiculous for what I got. It was $25 which I feel is way to much. I usually go to another barbershop(check my other reviews) but they were closed on mondays so I went here. I did not give them one star because the people who work there we're all relatively friendly. If you are a college student who doesn't mind over paying then maybe you would like this place. Other than that demographic, I would recommend going somewhere else. read more

The hiphop street vibe here might feel a little edgy, but it's just part of the charm. There's some solid talent here. Austin did a great job cutting my hair. He's super friendly, positive-minded and talented. He didn't waste any time, he got right to it - and he gave me a solid haircut. Highly recommend. read more

A haircut should be a lot of things, it should feel right on your scalp, should be an expression of your best grooming, should make you look younger, feel younger, and get at least some compliments; add to that, it should be cut to grow out nicely between cuts. Ricky manages this balancing act with lots of skill and a whole lot of class as a human being. Highly Recommended! read more

never, ever, EVER get shelly for a haircut. she rushes it, gives you attitude and was jawing the entire time if you know what I mean. i have been pleased with the other barbers, but never get shelly. read more

Had an awesome experience with Yvette. Im very picky about haircuts and it came out flawless. Great conversation too. Couldnt have asked for more. (Haircut ~ $22) read more

Leslie is very personable, listened to what I wanted to do with my hair, and gave me a fantastic cut that my gf could not stop raving about. I was a little nervous going in since I've had the same stylist in San Francisco for the last ten years. But Leslie makes you feel right at home and really gave me, what I considered, special treatment from a barbershop! I've found my new stylist in Boulder! read more

The Barber Joint - My amazing cut from Leslie at the Barber Joint - Barbers Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

Not Your Typical Barber Joint This place is friendly, fun and has an amazing staff. My personal experience from being out of town and trepidatious about someone cutting let alone touching what hair I have left was quenched when the barber (all female by the way) calmed me. The staff interacts with you and made the entire experience relaxing. Oh ya, my hair cut was excellent, not one out of place. Pricing is reasonable and service was quick even for a walk in. read more

Walked in without appt, there were 3 barbers cutting hair and no one else waiting. Took 45 minutes before any of the 3 finished their cuts, then someone with an appt came in and jumped me (and two others that arrived after me) in line. Understandable because we didn't have appointments, but then the second barber finished her cut and had an appointment in ten minutes and said she'd take me if he didn't show. Unacceptable to wait almost an hour for a basic haircut without being warned that appointments were on the way and it would be a long wait. Another customer and myself left after being told we'd have to wait at least ten minutes (and a lot more if the appt showed) for a cut. Unprofessional barber shop and barbers - there is no excuse to allowing a nearly 1 hour wait and not at least providing some warning to walk-ins about upcoming appointments. read more

Moved in from out of town and use to drive an hour away to get a haircut because that's how firm I am about having a great cut. Finally stumbled across The Barber Joint and it changed everything for me in the best way! These are skilled professionals who take their craft serious. Wait time is never too long. Great environment! It's Close to food spots to eat at before or after a haircut! Service is good. Staff is polite. Go there often now and they even know me by my nick name! "Big Mo"! read more

Came here as a walk-in. My barber was Yvette. She did an amazing job! I got a beard trim and a medium skin fade, both were very skillfully done. I used to be in the military and had to get haircuts at least every two weeks. I know a good fade when I see one and Yvette knows how to do a fade for sure. That's the biggest thing I think you can judge a barber on is how good their fades look. Everything else was top notch as well, I'll definitely be going back here regularly for my haircuts. The shop itself plays cool music too and everyone else seemed very friendly as well. read more

Awesome new barber shop on The HIll in Boulder. Fresh and clean shop with friendly barbers.

Love the straight razor neck shave. read more

The Barber Joint - Just had a great cut with Leslie at The Barber Joint. Be sure to visit this fresh new spot on the hill. - Barbers Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

As a new Boulder resident I had my first cut here. I was very impressed with Tasha who also does coloring well. I walked right in without hardly a wait. I showed her a pic of what I wanted and she honored it well at a good $20 price without tip. Can be difficult to find parking because it's in a busy student area. I'd come back again. read more

I am new to Boulder and I came to this joint based on yelp reviews. The stylists are professional and friendly. I would definitely recommend you to try this place out! read more

2 hour hair cut worst experience of my life. I have never had my hair look this choppy pretty much butchered it . Won't be back rest of the crew was very nice and friendly. I would recommend a different hiring process. read more

I came in frantically needing to get my hit fixed. Yvette got me in so quickly I didn't even need to wait. I got a haircut somewhere and the last person messed my hair up really bad. She was very sweet and really hooked me up. I don't live near here and will be visiting every 8-10 weeks. This is my place I will be returning when I'm not in California. Thank you again Yvette read more

Let me tell you something about being a black man in Boulder. Certain things that you would normally find within your immediate community are lacking up here because of Boulder's....... crunchy granola type vibe. When, I came up here to work my hair hadn't been cut in months because a similar situation. In a mostly white town, it's really tough to find someone you trust to cut black hair without leaving it uneven. So I would just grow a fro and shave it down. Easier than finding someone who could do my hair right or than walking around with some busted ass fade. Then I met Ricky. I came in asking for a high top fade, which he just grinned and turned the chair so.i could sit. I was at ease from the moment I walked through the door. Then he started to methodically work the fade out of the gang of hair I had amassed. It felt like having a sculptor work marble up there. He was smooth, and focused. When he finished he faded the cut into my beard then worked just as hard getting my lining done right from forehead to the bottom of my chin. I left looking better than I think I ever have. When I leave Boulder to go back to college in the Springs, best believe I'll commute up to see Ricky. It's worth it, knowing that he is confident in his ability to make me feel confident. I've since had other friends in similar situations go in and see him and now we are the flyest bunch in town. They even bumped Biggie, Nas, and old Jay Z in the shop which I loved. I wish I could give more stars than just 5. read more

Great Haircut, short wait, friendly staff, very affordable.

So friendly here. The best barber shop in town. Gives you the cleanest cut. Look for Yvette to give u the best cut!!

Ricky just cut my very discerning husband's and my not so discerning's son's hair and they never looked so good. The line was much shorter than Silver and Gold across the street and it really was one of the best, most precise cuts my husband has ever had. Ask for Ricky and accept no substitutes! read more

Very pleased! My son is mixed so it is hard to find someone who knows how to do his hair. We have had countless bad fades. This place was awesome! The woman, I can't remember her name, short, blonde hair, was so meticulous and knew exactly what she was doing. My friend also got his hair cut at the same time and they also did a fabulous job (the young girl with long blonde hair). We will definitely be back and will be making this our go to place from now on! read more

After having a bad experience at a big chain barbershop in town, I decided to try something new and go to a neighborhood shop. This is now my go-to barbershop. The cut was good, they use a straight razor on your neck, the owners are super cool, and they play good music. The Barber Joint, I'll see you guys in a few weeks! read more

Katie is my go to barber. It's great when you can find someone who you can always rely on for a great cut and personalized service. Leslie has cut my hair as well and did great. You can't go wrong here. Look no further for a barber in Boulder! read more

I can't remember the name of the woman who cut my hair, but I was happy with it, especially for the price. She took her time and she asked for feedback along the way, touching up on the areas I wasn't satisfied with. read more

Called and was able to get in last-minute. Got a fantastic haircut for a great price! I live out of town, but if I'm needing a haircut in the Boulder area again, I'll be back, without question! read more

This place has become a staple for getting my hair cut. They are reliable and most of the people have been there for a while. Best barber in the area! read more

These two have cut my hair for years! I'm glad that finally started up their own place. They are cool, fun and do an amazing job. This is by far the best place for a haircut in Boulder! read more

I got a great haircut from Hope. She listened and did exactly what we talked about. I waited 10 minutes. Then my haircut took about 40 minutes. A great job. I would definitely return here. read more

Either make an appointment or prepare to wait over an hour till someone can cut your hair! When I walked in I was greeted and told to sit down with another person waiting and I was also told that someone​ would be with me shortly. ​​As I waited for about 20 minutes, more people started to come in and some of them said they had appointments. The barbers finished cutting a few people's​ hair​ and then proceeded to take all the people who had appointments next. When they finished cutting some more people's hair, they went completely out of order and decided​ to take someone​ else who had just shown up about 15 minutes prior who didn't even have an appointment. The person waiting in front of me tried to say something​​ but the barber just walked away. After 40 minutes I was up next, but then more people showed up who had appointments and I was quickly back to the end of the line. When they have "walk-ins welcome" outside of their barbershop​, they should​ also have "be prepared to wait over an hour just waiting and then another 45 minutes to have your haircut."Even the people who did have appointments waited on average for about 10-15 minutes before they could get their haircut. After waiting for well over an hour, I couldn't​ wait any longer so I left and went to the barbershop​​ across the street(it was much better). Overall, I would definitely​ not recommend​d this barber shop to anyone. It's extremely disorganized(there's no check-in), understaffed, overpriced and has terrible customer service. Oh, and did I mention that there isn't even someone working at the front desk? I watched as a lady stopped cutting someone's​ hair to go to the cash register, give someone their change and then proceed to keep cutting the person's hair without washing her hands. If you want to get a haircut on the hill in Boulder, just go to Silver and Gold Barbers and Stylists. read more

Incredible barber shop. Katie gave me a really nice cut while Leslie helped answer a bunch of questions I had regarding her and the barber shop for a school project. They were more than helpful with both my hair and my homework. I have gained a new favorite place to get my hair cut and met two beautiful souls! read more
