I did not want to be rude, so I thought to myself "okay, let's give her a shot". To make it a long story short, not close. Showed her a reference photo, asked for a little off the top, 2 on the sides, and a taper on the back. Online- says $35- I get told my haircut is $45 because it varies per barber so * be warned * for a haircut that was under 30 minutes. The low taper on the back was good. I normally don't leave bad reviews, I had to download Yelp to leave this here. I'm pretty frustrated because I look uneven from the front, my sides are different, and I had to pay 50 after tip for a mid cut. Actually, I'm pretty pissed.

Just a few I hear: "something sticking up in the back", "it's too short", "too long", "they're only open when I'm at work", "it's an hour wait on weekends", "way overpriced", etc....So I was in utter shock when he finally came home pleased with his visit to Cass Street Barber Lounge WITHOUT A SINGLE COMPLAINT! More importantly (at least to me) is that unlike nearly every other competitor in the area, Brian has decided to jump into the 21st century and provides for online booking. While this is a seemingly small and obvious detail, it's very uncommon, yet incredibly valuable for the vast majority of us who work M-F between 9-5 and don't have the time to sit for hours in a waiting room on our weekends. I also have a young, rambunctious toddler who is regularly in need of haircuts but most kid places book up and I have to schedule way in advance and they are way too expensive so I asked my husband if Brian would be willing to cut our son's hair. He was totally up to the task and my little boy came home looking very dapper yesterday for $12!!! We are going to be loyal customers.

It completely ruined the style I had been growing out, and over a month later my hair still hasn't grown back to where it was. On top of that, I had to pay for a haircut I was very unhappy with. In my experience, I wouldn't recommend this barbershop if you care about getting a precise haircut or maintaining your hairstyle. I'd rather pay a little more somewhere else for a barber I can trust. If you're considering coming here, I'd recommend doing your research first and choosing carefully.

I found this barbershop when I first moved to the Tampa area. I booked an appointment after reading all the reviews on Facebook, Google, and Yelp. Rebekah did an amazing job. Before going in, I cut my own hair for 2 years with clippers. With being in a new place I decided to start getting my haircut by professionals again. I will keep going back as the barbers there really know what they are doing and they are focused on providing the best customer experience at a very reasonable price. I'd highly recommend going to them if you want to be treated like more than just a number. read more

The True Barber is really where you need to go for all you hair cutting and shaving needs once you grow up. If you're an adult there is no reason to go to one of those clip and snip places where you get a lollipop if you behave. This place takes care of you like you deserve and does a truly outstanding job at a really reasonable price. Amanda takes her time to make sure its perfect and you're totally happy. Do yourself a favor and try this place out, you will happy that you did. read more
