man! what a shop! this place is amazing! ill be coming here again for sure. service is great. donuts are fresh, and lolllipops are delish

I have been coming here for 50+ years. The barbers here have not inly cut my hair, but my dad's, grandad's and son's hair. It is more than reasonably priced. Tommy is legendary with his quick with and commn sense approach to life. read more

I've been going to Tommy's for the last 2-3 years after going to much more expensive salons for the past 7-8 years. I was fed up with scheduling appointments a month out with almost no / limited flexibility. I was tired of having to make small talk with the stylists. I was tired of paying a whole lot more. I did some research and found Tommy's and what a gem this place is. Tommy's is better than I could have expected. A tremendous value for a haircut that is quick in-and-our and an enjoyable old world experience. It's a multi-generational clientele - literally across families (grandfathers down to children) and there's a barber for everyone here. I go see Swift or Gus. read more

Woman who cut my hair did this to my bangs. She also never spoke a single word. Giving 2 stars because I've heard Tommy is a good guy read more

Ask for Frederick, he's the best! I've had haircuts all over this country but Frederick is super quick, friendly and is an all round nice guy. Awesome haircut too! read more

Now, I don't personally get my haircut on here, but I have a father and brother who do and I can say with certainty: Tommy Thomas and his shop are a force of nature in Atlanta! Tommy knows everyone. And anyone and everyone who's anybody or wants to know the local scoop has probably paid a visit to Tommy's shop over the years. You are pretty much guaranteed to get a glimpse of a local politician, hear some reliable info about local businesses (think Home Depot and the like) and just enjoy your experience, and your haircut. Tommy also gets to know his customers; one year, for my notoriously hard-to-buy-for father, I got Tommy to do "gift certificates." This isn't the kind of salon that has them on hand, so he wrote them out on business cards and my dad had his haircuts covered for the next year! But coolest of all? Tommy's mother, the lovely Mrs. Thomas, gives great man-manicures (you know, just enough trim and buff, nothing threatening) from her seat at the back corner of the shop. Oh, and after you get your early am haircut, get breakfast at Goldberg's for even more local flair. read more

Thomas Barber Shop - Barbers Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Best barbershop in Atlanta! Quick & professional. I show a picture of what I want & I get it exactly how its shown! Not one bad barber in the shop! read more

This barber shop was recommended by a co worker. While the location does look like a bit of a hole in the wall, I was very pleased with my haircut and it's fair price. I walked right in and was greeted by a not so enthusiastic lady, but non the less, she gave a very good haircut. A nice warm neck and side burn shave was also included for $25 standard men's haircut (CASH ONLY). I will definitely return and recommend it to anyone who isn't scared away by its appearance! I went on Friday but heard they have Krispy Kreme donuts on Saturday, they are also closed on Tuesday. read more

This morning I got my hair trimmed at Thomas Barber Shop for the first time and could not be more pleased. The new trim is perfect. Watch out ladies! I was referred to Tommy Thomas' Barber Shop by a friend who has been coming here for years. I'm so happy that he told me about this fine institution. This same friend was actually there getting his hair cut when I arrived. I walked into the barber shop at 6:50am and was seated with Celia right away. She asked how I wanted my hair cut and then she began to work her magic. As she trimmed my hair she kept me in the loop about how she was cutting it and the length she was cutting it. After my trim she pulled out the hot shave lather and a straight razor (a staple in old fashion shops) and shaved my neck and around my ears. All for only $16. I left Thomas Barber Shop with a fancy new haircut that I can appreciate and will certainly return for next haircut. read more

Great barber shop and great people. No matter who cuts your hair, it's going to look great. The employees also are very kind and friendly. One thing to keep in mind though is that it's cash only. Definitely recommend this place! read more

Good, inexpensive haircut for men (cash only) that has a great hometown vibe in Atlanta. Tommy is an institution. My only complaint is that not all barbers in his shop are quality. Tips: 1) Ask for Tommy personally 2) If your barber insists on facing you away from the mirror, walk out! read more

Great barbershop. Walk in qppts only. Every barber is highly skilled. I see Kristy. Krispy Kreme Doughnuts on Saturday.

Bad cut. Yikes. Cut way too short on sides and the neck razor felt like it had been dulled with a rock. Maybe it was just the barber, but didn't love the vibe. read more

This is an Atlanta institution, and a time-warp. Let me clarify it's one of the best time-warps I've ever encountered. A lot of places try and pull off the old-time barber shop feel, and look. Thomas Barber Shop doesn't have to fake this; that's what it always has been, and what it will always be. This is the neighborhood barber shop. If you have been in more than once everybody knows who you are, and the camaraderie extends not only between their wonderful staff and their customers, but, very rarely do you visit any business where there is the same open dialog and discussion between patrons as well. The laid-back neighborhood atmosphere permeates all aspects of the location. Go in on a Saturday and they'll have a box of warm donuts waiting in the back, and a group of locals will be huddled around a television cheering on an SEC football game. Thomas' Barber Shop is as much a social experience as it is a wonderful haircut, and is the only place in Atlanta I feel comfortable saying "take it short." On top of that, where else in Buckhead can you walk in to get a haircut without an appointment with a $20 bill, tip the barber, and walk out with money left over? This is the type of barber-shop startups wish they could emulate, but never will because you can't recreate a rich history. read more

This place has a rave following. There is a lot of college memorabilia on the walls, and I suspect that it is from kids that have been getting their hair cut there for years, only to return with their jerseys, pictures, etc. to display in there. There is usually always a crowd in there waiting for a haircut from the main man, but it's pretty easy to just walk in and get a haircut if you're not picky who does it. My favorite thing about this place is that they have the clippers with suction. That means a lot to me because I have thick hair that goes everywhere when it gets cut. Suction= no hair down your back when you stand up! Nice! They also do a straight razor shave on your neck when your ears have just been lowered. Nice touch that reminds me of getting my hair cut by my childhood barber. Definitely recommend, since it's nice to go to someone's actual business instead of a franchise that seems to only hire slightly disgruntled, unkempt employees. Thumbs up! read more

This is an old school barber shop. If you're in search of a politically correct safe zone DO NOT COME BY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We don't want or need you. Just a group of guys sometimes more than one generation getting their hair cut and laughing and joking. Saturdays are a must get there early as Tommy and the crew are the best part of the day and the free doughnuts are good as well. Tommy treats everyone the same whether you're running for President or just one of the guys.....look at the pictures on the walls its a who's who of business, sports, politics, and just good folks. Tommy has the biggest heart and won't ask for contributions to charities but he's always working with one or helping out the scouts. Dad's love him for the hair cuts to the kids and the doughnuts and the Mom's well they have to deal with the sugar induced kids when they get home. I've been going there nearly 10 years and I'm still a newcomer. Its the last bastion of Americana hair cut, hot shave and When Tommy's dear Momma was alive a manicure, shoe shine. Oh and its a Barber Shop, not a salon, beauty parlor, chain, just a great place to spend a few hours chew the fat and have fun. Lord help us when Tommy hangs up the clippers read more

Great barber shop. They make you feel welcome and give handsome, speedy haircuts. Vacuum clippers make sure minimal hair gets on your neck and collar (though they are loud). read more

Old time atmosphere, had a fantastic hot shave, lots of extras thrown in. Mike Swift was excellent. I would recommend to anyone who enjoys a relaxing hot shave and trim, and the price was very reasonable. read more

My regular barber of 12 years is recuperating from surgery so I asked my son if he had any ideas about getting a trim. He works at the One-Ninety-One building and he said that a lot of guys from work go to this place called Tommy's on West Paces. Just got back from my haircut. Mike Swift did a nice job and is a nice fellow. The place had a positive/happy vibe even though the A/C had just gone out. Will definitely return! read more

Thomas Barber Shop is a great place to get a hair cut. I have never have a bad haircut by any of the barber's. Sometimes I like to get a shave as well. read more

Great spot for a fresh clip. A REAL barber shop that does all the little things right. I especially like that they shave the back of your neck with a straight razor and cream instead of just a pair of clippers. Fair price for great service. read more

No better place for a classic barber shop experience. The shelves are decorated with loca high school football helmets and a few ACC and SEC College helmets. Fast service, read the paper, and see what old Atlantans consider a classic location to share with their kids and grandkids. read more

Thomas Barber Shop - Junebug getting the best haircut ever - Barbers Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

This place is the real deal. I grew up in a small town in North Georgia, and one of my fondest memories of childhood was going to the local barber shop for a haircut. I had searched around Atlanta for a good little while trying to find a place that could recreate that sense of nostalgia. After walking into another shop that had received great reviews, and being bombarded with Katy Perry blasting way too loud, I had started to give up on my search. Then came my discovery of Tommy's. I've been going for a few months now, and I've never walked out the door without a smile on my face. Everyone's super inviting and you get the feeling that you're in that small town barber shop. Tommy Thomas' Barber Shop is keeping the great tradition of the classic barber shop alive right down to when they shave the back of your neck with a straight razor and hot shaving cream. Great atmosphere and a great sense of camaraderie. Don't pass these guys up! They've made a loyal client out of me. read more

Haircuts in a rush (about 10-15 min), lots of irregularities in the cut and not realy well trimmed. They don't wash your head or ask if you want a pomade or anything, you only discover how bad it is when you take a shower. If you're looking for a real fading on your sides, specially if you have straight hair i would totally avoid this place as you can get lot better on atlanta for $2 more. For thr pros, the staff looked friendly and happy to work. Its more of a lack of trechnical skills. read more

Today i went expecting a great haircut instead i got a bowl cut and my hairline is uneven. do not use the lady in the corner... she will ruin your hair. From IMG_3107.JPG. to this IMG_3100.JPG read more

Tommy's shop has always been amazing and wonderful. Most barber shops are all about hair removal and not about men's styling. This place understood men's styling and has never disappointed until today. My son has liked keeping longer hair than most, and that has always been respected at Tommy's which is why we always kept coming back. Today, Tommy let an employee's daughter "practice" without my knowledge of her limited experience with men's hair. (Her mother actually leaned in proudly to tell me (after the hair was cut) that she was trying to help her learn to cut men's hair. When I saw that she was cutting too much, I asked her to stop cutting and she would not stop. I ended up pulling my child out of the chair. Tommy watched this entire situation happen with no intervention, and he knew my child and his hair as we have been patrons for years. We are so angry, disappointed, and super sad. We will need to have the cut adjusted by another hair professional which will cost us in addition, and, no, the shop never even offered us a refund. read more

I was initially intimidated based on the reviews on Yelp. It definitely seemed like the kind of place where everyone was a regular and it's hard to be the new kid in town. This is not at all the case. I have been going to Tommy's now for about three years and have referred many friends. Be sure to introduce yourself to Tommy, and you'll instantly feel at home. Tommy's is an Atlanta landmark but also a great place to get a trim. There is a container lollipops by the cash register, the hot doughnuts in the back, and a straight razor of the neck. These things take me back to my childhood in the best possible way. It's not uncommon to see the CEO of an Atlanta-based business or even a potential presidential candidate stopping in for a shave. In the time that I have gone to Tommy's, all the barbers are friendly, courteous, and consistent. There is a reason Tommy's is an Atlanta landmark. read more

Best barbershop in ATL! Tommy is awesome, but I usually go to Cecilia. You can't go wrong with either one of those. Feel free to choose one of the other barbers in this place as well. They all know what they are doing. read more

Went here yesterday and got the worst haircut I've ever had. The lady who cut my hair took less than 5 minutes and I had to have her clean up multiple areas that she missed once I got to look in the mirror. Once I got home and showered I found more areas where she left hair different lengths that I had to fix on my own. I would not go back to this barbershop. read more

I've been coming here for about 2 years now even though I live/work down in midtown. It's worth the drive. I get exactly what I want every time. Prices are really good/fair. Atmosphere is friendly. Staff are all experienced but I've only used Cecilia (5 stars to her no doubt) I agree with other comments in that its relatively quick. I don't want a bunch of petty chit chat or a glass of wine...I want my haircut and I want it done right, so I go to this place exclusively. read more

I thought I was getting a decent haircut because I like getting my neck shaved and they do this routinely. But I have found that the haircuts are generally hit and miss and sometimes just plain sloppy lasting maybe a couple of weeks. I had my haircut a month ago as I was getting ready to head to Europe. I had to get it cut over there two weeks later because it was such a mess. The cut I got in Spain was maybe the best I've ever had, so I'm shopping around for somewhere different. read more

Barbers are well trained as a good cut can be obtained in any chair. Shop is clean and staff is very welcoming. Thank you for another great cut and conversation. read more

Quick service, in and out in a flash. The haircut was good. I had just shaved my head to support my grandmother and her hair loss from chemo, and was in need of a shape up/fade. There was no real connection. No names exchanged or anything with the lady that gave me my haircut. I think personal connections are really key to keeping long time clients, but in her defense I was really quiet because of being in a new place and also being a little nervous.. So it's all good. My hair came out nice and that makes me happy so keep up the good work! read more

Great place. If you know exactly what you want (e.g. Clean up, 3s on the sides, length on top) they'll know exactly what you're talking about and get it done easy. Haircuts for me are 17 bucks so I just come in with a 20 and tell them to keep the change. Cash and check only so remember that before hand. read more

Tanya cut my hair. She wasn't very friendly, but that's all fine if you can cut hair well. The haircut was about 15 minutes long and was very very rushed. I had her trim my beard and she did such an awful job trimming it that when I got home I decided to shave off my three month beard and start from scratch. Overall, a bad haircut, a grumpy employee, and a botched beard cut cost me 28$ before tip. That's insane. This is more of a "come to be seen" location than a barbershop read more

Tommy the owner took care of my young son with great attention to detail. He explained how to get rid of the dandruff and even showed us how to prevent him from getting cradle cap with oil. He went through a detailed explanation on how to better manage our young son's hair. He also took time to explain the right short cut to hide our sons multiple cowlicks. He is full of knowledge in his craft and takes care of even the smallest customer. read more

Awesome barber shop right here! Walk in and ask for Gus, he gives GREAT if not the best fade I have ever gotten. Takes his time and makes it an overall great experience. You will not be disappointed. read more

What a barber shop should be. $20 gets you a cut and change. Get a Coke, in a bottle, from the vending machine, grab a chair and get the cabbage trimmed back. Oh and a right proper shoe shine for a few bucks more. They don't make 'em like this place any more, and when my son is old enough for his first haircut, it'll be here. read more

Cool small town barbershop feel close to the heart of downtown Atlanta. Just moving down here I didn't know where to go for a haircut but had seen other reviews for this barber shop and I'm glad I went in! read more

This is a great old time barber shop run by Tommy with 7 wonderful, friendly barbers working, it's consistent, no fluff just get a great haircut, see friends, neighbors and be on your way. They open at 7:00 a.m. and close at 6:00 p.m., closed on Tuesday and Sunday. A good amount of the customers have never gone anywhere else for a haircut since they were born or moved to Atlanta. It's home for most who go there. read more
