I am happy I found this shop. I have guardianship over my intellectually delayed brother and he originally had dreadlocks when I first brought him here. The first person he went to was Dominique/Unique and she was great with him. She shared instructions on how to keep his hair neat and how to take care to keep them clean. My brother wasnt so good at following those instructions lol so we move ahead to get them cut off. First I went to see if there was a website for the shop but their isnt so when I called Taylor answered and pushed me to his booking tool (which was so great ) Taylor has been great with my brother and continue to do a wonderful job on his haircut as well as treat him great. Thank you Taylor an Shop By Leftys! read more

I was in Ahwatukee from out of town and needed a good haircut. I visited Lefty's after my brother recommended I go there. Lefty cut my hair and was very friendly. I'll definitely be back every time I'm in town! read more

The Shop By Lefty's - The bald spot - Men's Hair Salons Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Had a really good experience and Got an amazing cut--if you need a fresh look, ask for Ghost!

I'm a man who will travel to get a great haircut, and JT did not disappoint. Jt listened and gave me just what I asked for; give me a shadow fade and keep by line as natural as possible without creating a higher line. I hate when a barber tries to create a new line by trying to even both sides, hair grows differently and unevenly on your head and that includes the line, just make it neat, & clean and send me on my way. The men are in LEFTY'S taking care of business, greeting you and thanking you at the door. The customer service was refreshing- Mychaeltodd Fig Leaf Film & Media Ministry read more

I took my 3 year old son here for a haircut because I wanted him to get a real barber shop experience, and I'm sick of walking out of Great Clips with him looking all basic. I looked up The Shop on Yelp before we went there, so I kind of knew what I was in for, but let me be real clear with you: When I hit 'Play' on my stereo this morning, Alanis Morissette was playing, ok? I'm not just a white dude - I'm super white. And I've got a shaved head because I was going bald and decided to just own it. So when I tell you I walked into The Shop and my son and I were the only white dudes in there, I mean we were the ONLY white dudes in there, and The Shop has like, 12 chairs, all full, so my first thought after stepping through the door was, "Man - I hope this is cool." It was great. Let me tell you about The Shop. First off, like I said, there are 12 chairs, and Lefty's chair is right by the door, which is how it should be at a barber shop. The head guy sits closest to the front so he can take care of business, chat up the customers, and decide what's going on. And with 12 chairs, things move pretty fast. I don't know if you know a lot about 3 year olds, but they don't like sitting around waiting, and I bet we waited less than 5 minutes, so that was great. Ryu cut his hair (like the guy from Streetfighter, but think more hair cutting and less Hadouken). He didn't seem super thrilled to be cutting a little kid's hair, but he warmed up after a little while and he did a pretty good job. When you're cutting a little kid's hair, you have to focus on speed. Like he's not gonna be on America's Got Talent or anything like that - he just needs to look good and we can be done, know what I mean? Ryu took care of us, and the guy in the next chair over chatted with me a little bit and made the place feel really comfortable. The place is really clean, and everybody seemed really professional, and by the time we were leaving I didn't feel out of place at all - Lefty even offered up a fist bump on the way out. If I still had hair, I'd be coming here to get cut. read more

Great experience if ur looking for a black owned business to invest in. Very clean, very fun, and they even have food trucks and vendors that come. Salon, barber shop, and tattoo shop. This is a great one stop shop for the whole family! read more

Now this is the barbershop that I remember! When I was a kid I remember my dad taking my brother to get their hair cut at the barbershop. It was full of men getting their hair cut..picked out and lined up just right...a little more off the top..get those sides right AND it has theobligatory old guy that talks allot of mess while he cuts his clients hair in the corner! Good times! I walked in here and had flashbacks! Not a long wait. Plenty of barbers. No one walked out looking like they were not pleased with their cut. My sister got her hair cut..it was super feminine and pretty..so ladies, if you need a line up too-and dying want to spend all day on the shop- go down to Lefty's read more

This was two days after my cut at the shop my first time and my last time going. These are not razor bumps the barber straight butchered me up. I do not have sensitive skin this never happened to me ever. I've been getting fresh cuts my whole life, well there was that one time in the 6th grade but we won't get in to that haha but I've been getting fresh fades and tapers my whole life. This gotta be one of the weakest cuts there was no blend in my taper and it was $27. I moved from Tucson to phx just tryin to find a barber out here life's hard read more

The best barbershop I've come across in Phoenix hands down. Being from the east coast tri-state area , I'm particular about my haircut and these guys did not let me down. The barbers pay attention to the details and will make sure you leave looking the way you want. I recommend checking out Damos Lott...he can cut! The shop is big, bright, and clean...and conveniently located right off of Highway 10. There are always more than 5 barbers working so the wait is never too long. The atmosphere is welcoming for families. Definitely check out this place...you won't be disappointed!!! read more

This shop is the Best! Been coming here for 2.5 years now and each time I look forward to my visit. The guys in the shop are cool, everyone is having a good time while cutting hair and making the day go by. My barber Damos, is the bomb. He does a great job on my hair, what little is left...and he always keeps the time while I'm in his chair fun. I totally recommend this place to anyone that goes to anyplace else.....stop spending money at places where you just sit there.....come to the shop by Lefty's and have a good time while your hair is cut! read more

Horrible service, rude and judgey vibe , over priced and overall not a great place I'd recommend elsewhere.

I was looking for an experienced barber who could cut women's hair without making the cut masculine. I recently relocated from Atlanta. I found a picture that b_mcfadden had done on instagram. I thought I would take a chance. I am glad I did, he listened to me and did the cut exactly the way that I wanted it. No one has ever done that. I am so happy I found this place! I live a little far from Chandler but this place is worth the drive. read more

Very nice atmosphere. Plenty of barbers are located in the front of the shop and the beauticians are located in the back area of the shop. Friendly, professional, and very skilled. All around good vibes. I was transitioning for about two years and decided to do my big chop. Natasha is very knowledgeable of hair care. She calmed my fears, addressed all my concerns, and reassured me. I am very happy with my big chop haircut. Thanks Natasha. I will definitely be returning for routine maintenance. I highly recommend. read more

Hands down, the BEST barbershop in the valley. Before moving back to Los Angeles, Dre was my barber for the last 3-4 years. I wouldn't let anyone touch my head unless it was Dre, although everyone in the shop does good work. Dre was the reason why I was looking good every 2 weeks, haha. They're always bumping good music and everyone is just laughing, cracking jokes and vibing. I miss this place Book Dre for your next appointment! read more

Took my daughter back to see Natasha .. she did an amazing job on her hair !! Again everyone in shop were professional and friendly !! Top notch service all the way around !! read more

Beyond livid. Literally described what I wanted told me ok and then proceeded to whatever he wanted. I have never in my life refused to pay for a hair cut and this one was so bad and far from what I asked I demanded this was free. The other barbers even felt so bad because the guy was in the wrong they offered me free cuts the next time. But he messed up my hair so bad I won't be able to get another cut for a month. Thanks for wasting my time I don't appreciate it. This is all probably my fault because I didn't want to pay Ryu the 40 for appointments and didn't wait for Paris like I knew I should of! Literally it looks worse as time goes on have to cut the entire top off to redo the damage that was done. Definitely wouldn't recommend this place. read more

Lefty's is definitely the best barber shop in Arizona (Tucson included..lol) Now keep in mind....the Phoenix area is not LA, Chicago or New York...where the best barbers in the US reside...but...Lefty's could hold its own if it were located in any of those cities... Dwayne (the owner) is a really cool dude and what I have noticed with his shop compared to others I have frequented over the years is that he only has top notch ethical barbers working in his shop and he has really good attention to detail and running a business on my own, I always appreciate frequenting well run businesses. Others have mentioned that the shop has 12 flat screen tv's showing all the latest sports channels in addition to a playstation play area, a computer station with an IMac and a kids section in front of the store. The shop is also well lit and has a really upscale feel to it. My barber Troy knows his skills well and gets my longer hair cut exactly like I want each time...this is no small feat as I had prior to Troy been trying to find a barber who could give me a particular cut with no luck for 3 years in AZ so had to resort to a short fade haircut that almost any barber could do. And I hate short fade haircuts..lol Finally, I oftentimes take my youngest daughter with me to Lefty's since I always go on the weekend and this is in addition to being a cool shop to hang out at is very family orientated. On a typical Saturday you will find everyone from little kids getting the latest cuts to young dudes like me :-) to older guys getting a touch up. read more

Damos Lott: I moved to Phoenix about 2 1/2 years ago. I did my research and found out which barbershops were the ones to go to and luckily Lefty's was in my area. Damos was the first and only barber I've been to and hopefully will ever have to go to in Phoenix. He's become more than just a barber. He's become a life coach, mentor, therapist (lol), financial advisor, handy man, uncle and friend. Also, he's there to kick your butt whenever you need it. Preciate ya Big Dawg! The Shop is more than a barbershop. It's more like a social gathering. A family atmosphere and this is a place where you can go to talk about just about anything, have a few laughs and get a fresh cut. read more

Lefty's caters to a predominantly African American crowd. Don't let that stop you from a great barbershop. I was the only person in there that was white and In a Hawaiian shirt. The hip hop beats in the room and a large screen tv had the game on. The gentleman against the back wall named Ted ( who is also from Chicago like me) is a great barber. Attention to detail was top notch. He asked me what I was looking for on the sides and top. My haircut was fantastic. I didn't even ask but he cleaned up my ears. Shave cream and then A hot towel were applied and then a razor on my neck and sideburns area. He then asked about my eyebrows and clipped to the perfect length. They get $ 22 for a haircut which is a fine since even though I have very little hair on top I'm still priced the same. Parking is out front. Don't be scared when you open the door and hear the music. It's s great haircut and relaxing experience. read more

When I first came to AZ for vacation, I was in desperate need of a cut. My long time friend and barber from back home suggested I stop by Lefty's. When I walked in the barber shop, I saw about 8 or 9 barbers on staff, a open space with t.v's mounted playing ESPN, and a lighthearted atmosphere. The place was clean and I was greeted by the staff. The owner D cut my hair and was very personable. I recently moved to AZ and even tho I live 40 mins away, I still will make the commute to http://www.theshopbyleftys.com/ to Lefty's! I encourage anyone who has moved to Maricopa county to patronize this business! read more

First time here, this place has the best atmosphere. I was in the area and booked an appointment on yelp. I got a guy named Zane and he hooked me up. This is definitely the best haircut I've gotten in Arizona. I've been looking around the area I live and haven't found a place I love. I'll be making the 30 minute drive to see Zane from now on. read more

First, let me start by saying that this review was written on the experience I had with the owner/operator of the barbershop. This review has no reflection on the abilities and professionalism of the other barbers. In fact I found each to be very skillful, polite, happy and willing to provide a pleasant experience for their clients. Duane(owner/operator) on the other hand doesn't give a crap about providing that same type of service. On my only 2 visit to Lefty's, after making an appointment, I arrived on time, only to sit and wait 30+ minutes for Duane to arrive. On my 2nd visit, I arrived on time only to be ignored while Duane went about visiting and chatting with his fellow barbers. After waiting 15 minutes, I realized this dude is full of himself and decided it was time to move on. I will continue to support Black Owned businesses despite the way Duane chooses to run his. read more

Hairline was pushed back and the fade I received was not suffice enough to tell the difference between shades.

My first time here but from the looks of it, everyone knows how to give a good cut. Everyone's super friendly and the music is on point, which is always a plus. read more

The place is in a discreet location and seems very small. It's huge inside and always has at least 10 customers whenever I go. I can tell that every person working there knows what they're doing. The place is welcoming, lively, fun, and excellent at their services. The first time I ever went in my hair was done by the owner himself! Now I go every time I'm here and I wouldn't trust any other place to do my hair. Absolutely wonderful and I'm so glad I found it. read more

A few months ago, my family and I moved to the Phoenix area. We were in desperate need of finding quality barbers in a family-friendly shop. My visit to The Shop was pleasant from the moment we walked in the shop to the end of our visit. Desiree cut my son's hair and did a great job! I don't like visiting barber shops, but the environment was professional, and I didnt have a long wait. We're making The Shop our family's barber shop. read more

The man right here is Mr. Damos Lott! My 4 year old son is a regular! He keeps his sideburns tight, he gets sooooo many compliments! Damos is down to earth, keeps it real.
