This is one the better barber shops I've been to in my travels. The place is very clean and welcoming. Matt and Mike are very professional and courteous. Upon walking in I was greeted by both and Matt offered me a complimentary drink. Mike was my barber and he was able to give me the exact type of haircut I wanted based on the pictures I provided him and he listened to the fine detail I gave him (small natural looking part line). I wish I lived closer to the area so I could be a regular, but I will definitely stop by if I'm in the area visiting my Aunt!forewarning they do accept walk-ins, but I highly recommend setting up an appointment via their squarespace site. They are very competitively priced compared to the commercial hair cut businesses. Definitely would recommend this place for anyone looking for a good cut and excellent service! Thanks again Matt and Mike! read more

Go see Petey. He will take good care of you. I took my son there and he got the best haircut of his life. I was so excited I decided to get a haircut too. Petey offered a Yunegling to drink while I waited. That was a nice added touch. read more

I saw great reviews for this place but unfortunately that was not the experience that I had. I just wanted to find my son a good barbershop and we were excited to go after years of me cutting his hair. We scheduled an appointment with Matt a week in advance then it was cancelled same day and asked to reschedule, we did. A few days later on the day of appt again, another reschedule request came thru. Well... I really wanted to give this place a try but they need a lesson in customer service. Especially first impressions. I'm sure if we were able to get our appt we would have been very happy with the results. We'll never know. read more

Great atmosphere! Fantastic experience. Took my son, who is in the spectrum, and Matt was patient and kind. He also gave my husband a phenomenal haircut!! read more

I decided to give them a shot as my normal barber was booked and I'm glad I did. Matt is the man! Great haircut/fade/neck shave/products. Picked up some Layrite matte cream on the way out and love it. Highly recommend for the fellas around Apex/Cary/Holly Springs. read more

So if you are any self respecting man, this is the shop for you. Great guys, great haircuts. Perfect fades and everything between. Really was an awesome experience. read more

My husband and son have always had good experiences at The Grumpy Barbers, but this is the first time I've been to the shop with my son. From the ease of online booking, through the Covid safety protocols, to the end result of my son's haircut, I was impressed. Matt took the time to listen to what my son wanted, which required some patience and reading of body language with a quiet teenager. We even left with a new music recommendation, thanks to Matt for sharing a favorite Spotify station. We will definitely be back! read more

Matt Martin is terrific. He's been cutting my hair for years now, and I've never walked out with a less than perfect cut. The shop is clean, comfortable, and exudes a feeling of "you are a man, and you're going to get your hair cut like a man should!" Personally, Matt is a truly great guy - friendly, interesting, funny, and he used to cut Jeff Garlin's hair (Murray Goldberg from ABC's "The Goldbergs")! He'll cut your hair the way you want it done, and it consistently looks great! Great guy, fantastic skills, awesome place, good location, and fair price. No reason to go elsewhere! read more

Great experience. If you're reading this review just know that this guy has cut more people's hair than most. He knows what he's doing. New, young, hip, old, classic, he has the skill set and the adaptability to bring your cut to life. I drive 45 minutes from work for this guy and if it's a weekend I drive from Clayton. He's a homerun, book him in advance and get a shave. No seriously. Do it. He's a master barber after all. #grumpybarber read more

If you're looking for a great haircut, fantastic barber, and great atmosphere go to this place!! Loved everything about it and will be returning :) read more

11/10 don't go if you don't want the best haircut, had a bad haircut petey helped me fix it looks better than ever!

I had never been to a real barber before just the usual shops. For my first go through Matt knocked it out of the park! That was the best damn haircut I had ever had. And my wife loved the shaved neck. 100% recommend Matt! read more

Matt's been my barber for close to 5 years, so of course he does a great job. My best cuts ever have been by Matt. In my experience he is the rare barber who pays attention to detail. And the price is right. My 15 and 18 year old sons go to Matt as well. read more

Great barbershop. Mike was awesome friendly and extremely precise with my haircut. The shop is really nice inside with complimentary beer or soda. All in all just a great shop with good guys cutting your hair. Prices are extremely reasonable as well read more

FINALLY! There is a true master-barber in Apex with a real sense of style and swagger. I have lived in town for 10 years and bumped from shop to shop until I came across this guy. Matt is a true professional and highly skilled at his craft. From the businessman that wants the same high-quality, precision cut each visit, to the trend setter that wants to stand out, Matt has every client's needs covered. In my line of work I spend a fair amount of time on-camera, so I need a barber I can trust. In the 2 years he has been cutting my hair, I have never walked away with a below-expectation or even an average haircut. Go enjoy a great cut, shave, and conversation. You will walk away looking your best and feeling great about your experience. Quit rolling the dice with your sense of style. If you live anywhere in the triangle and want to be guaranteed a great haircut, go see Matt Martin. read more

I not only got a great haircut, my first barber hot towel shave. I enjoyed the shop and Matt is exceptionally good at his craft. Go here.

Matt is a great barber. He is tough to schedule and usually is booked out for a week or two. They schedule online through square space which makes making an appointment easy. read more

Definitely grump, complained the whole time about other customer's that don't keep appointments. Haircut was ok and pricing about average.

So here's the deal... I'm new to The Grumpy Barbers and only been twice so far. But, I have to say - these guys are absolute Pros!! Here's how easy it is: the appointment system is simple and online, reminder text messages come automagically, payments are simple, receipt shows up... but most importantly, fantastic work and my wife loves the look. Thank you Matt!! Love the new place! read more

Good experience here. was able to book online. The place is nice. Got a for haircut myself and my son with Pete.

Thanks for the great haircut Matt. As always, Gage's hair looks great. So glad we found you.

Great haircut and conversations with Matt. Felt welcome to the moment I stepped into his barber shop. Look forward to the next haircut!

Headed to the triangle region for some job interviews and wanted a clean up. I didn't know you needed reservations for him but Matt fit me in after about 20 minutes. The amazing Yuengling beer he offered me totally helped pass the time!! Matt cut hair in Philly before this, so he knows what he's doing. I was glad to meet someone else who wasn't a local and was able to get a gist of the Triangle Region. Coming from NY they don't seem to like us down there that much!! Anyway, great haircut, great personality, pricing seems high for the area but that's what I pay in NY so I didn't care. I am not moving to the area, but if I did I would continue to use him. read more

I've been getting my haircut by Matt for a few years now. Matt is a professional and always takes the time to cut the cut right. His new shop is a perfect fit for him. Pricing is extremely reasonable for this master barber. read more

I have been going to Matt ever since he came to Classic Barber Shop and I never plan on changing barbers. He is extremely personable and easy to talk to and does an outstanding job every time. Matt takes the time to make sure that each guest has a good experience and a great haircut/shave to top it all off. I've had my hair cut many different places but Matt at Classic Barber Shop does the best job hands down. read more

Matt is a master of his craft. He is very professional, very personable and always makes me laugh when I'm there getting my hair cut. If you want consistency in the way your hair is cut, Matt is your go-to guy. read more

Matt has always done a great job with my hair but what I appreciate the most is his professionalism and his drive for excellence in his craft. I came in one Saturday morning because I was traveling on business the next week and despite being sick, Matt came in to cut my hair because he new I wanted to look good for my meetings. Most Barbers wouldn't have cared but Matt did. I moved to Holly Springs in 2013 and went to 8 different Barbers before finding Matt. Gentlemen, he's the man you want cutting your hair! read more
