One of my sons likes a clean, simple cut with pointy sideburns, while the other wants bold designs and perfectly squared sideburns. Curtis nails both every single time. We've been taking our boys to Curtis for years, and even though he's moved farther away, he's absolutely worth the drive. He's fantastic with kids, knows how to make them feel comfortable, and genuinely takes the time to connect with them. He's friendly, kind, and intentional with every haircut. What I appreciate most is that even though my boys know exactly what they want, Curtis never forgets Mom's input.

If you're looking for a barber who truly cares about his craft, takes pride in his work, and provides exceptional customer service, I highly recommend Curtis.

We got there, they were welcoming, and quickly took my son back. My son had THICK corse long hair and it took almost 2 hours to cut. The whole time his barber, Memo, was very patient with my 4 year old through all his movements and fussiness giving him lollipops, caprisuns and even putting cartoons on for him! The cut was AMAZING the best we've been able to get for him. I just love when companies are kid friendly and don't treat kids like a burden. I couldn't recommend this place enough and we'll definitely be coming back!

I went on Saturday for my third time and it was busy early morning. I've cut it with the owner once and second time omar faded me up. Both really did a good job but this time the guy in the entrance with the glasses cut me I decided to give him a chance. I asked him for a mid fade and he gave me a high fade I walked out looking like a jar head. Overall his attitude was really pushy I know I won't let him cut me up anymore. It's a great barbershop don't get me wrong they always have u laughing just that one guy though. He needs better customer service. Okay so this is my second review I won't bring any stars down because it simply ain't the business fault but I went in a couple weeks ago on a Sunday and the same guy with the "glasses" was the only one there. Gus or Omar were not in and It was the only barbershop in the area open. It was an emergency haircut so I said oh well let me give him another chance this time I made sure I got his name "Jose" . Same attitude as the last time very pushy and demanding. Long story short he charged me "$20" I asked him if they went up on the prize he said "yes" it was odd to me I knew they went up on the prize but to "$16". Again I don't mean to bash on the barbershop but this guys customer service sucks ass. I will still come to this shop but certainly not with Jose. read more

After 5 years in the Marines and about 250 fades later, I can say without a doubt that I know what a good haircut looks, feels, smells, hears, and even tastes like. Getting a haircut shouldn't have to be a negative experience! This is why in my opinion my barber should have these 3 things: 1) Confidence in his ability to deliver consistent, timely, and quality cuts that is only acquired through years of experience. 2) A clean, friendly, and presentable shop. 3) Lastly, he must value his customer. Because Barber Gus goes above and beyond what is expected of me; I'm ready to commute a few extra minutes to get my haircut at his newly opened shop. A great haircut can lead to a job, boost in confidence to snag yourself a wifey, or may lead to insatiable desire to take multiple selfies. So, this is why I highly recommend this place, but it is for you to find out for yourself. -Michael read more

This is a real mans barber shop. I've gotten a hair by all three prodigies; Jesus, Gus, and Omar. No matter what you ask for , you leave like a new man. Highly recommend!!!!! Once you walk in you feel an extravagant vibe. It's very contemporary modern inside, they got holy hands there !!!! read more

The only thing I don't understand is their "walk-ins only" policy. The place was pretty busy, and I was in somewhat of a rush, but I decided to wait it out. Then a kid walked in and was allowed to go ahead of everyone who had been waiting. I'm assuming he knew the barber personally, but regardless, that felt very unprofessional. If the policy is walk-ins only, then everyone should be treated fairly and served in the order they arrive. It's frustrating to wait your turn only to have someone cut in front of you.
