I walked in not sure what to expect as I've been to many barbershops for my kids and had terrible experiences. I was greeted right away and it was pretty clean inside. I arrived a little early so we sat and waited until our appointment time. I showed the barber what my son wanted and he took the time to thoroughly look at the details in the picture and gave me advice on to slightly make small changes as it would work best with my sons hair. I agreed to do what he thought would work best, as he is the barber.. My son and myself were very happy with the outcome & my son said he can't wait to go back when it's time for his next haircut! read more

I called and made an appointment asked for the best person they had for beards. I have an awesome beard I have been growing for the past 7 years. So I booked an appointment I showed photos of how I usually get my beard trimmed. See the photos of the usual trim I get at another location and the trim I just got they cut too short and it's uneven. Worst trim I have ever gotten. Then I asked for someone else to help, then the guy in this photo flipping me off came up and said it's free get out of here then cussed me and got in my face. Do not go here worst customer service ever. extremely unprofessional! read more

Went with my boyfriend said it would be a 5 mins wait took 45 mins the guy that cut my boyfriends CURLY HAIR didn't even wet it and made it way to short HORRIBLE SERVICE. Made it way too short. Made his hair line to short very DISAPPOINTING. NEVER GO HERE. DO NOT GO HERE. If you want chopped hair go for it. If I could give a worse rating I would. read more

Had my hair cut yesterday 8/21/25 and they messed up my fade, it was a new barber I usually don't work with. I came in today 8/22/25 and explained to Ray what had happened. My man Ray didn't hesitate to take me in and get me looking right for the weekend! I appreciate you Ray! If you need a fresh cut ask for Ray, Rogelio, or Carl! Thanks again boi's I'll be back next time!!! read more

Sam has no customer service skills whatsoever. Didn't introduce himself, shake my hand, nothing. Gave my sides and back one pass, that was it. Left my neck raw. Squared it off instead of the taper I asked for. No warm towel. Just a bad haircut from a guy who seems like he couldn't care less. Not coming back here. I'll probably need to go get this fixed elsewhere. read more

At this location, ask for Wray. He is the definition of excellence. I have been to past barbers, and they don't listen or explain what they are doing, and just want to fit in as many people as possible. Wray takes his time to explain everything to you in detail, gives you options, and literally lets your haircut be YOUR haircut. On top of that, he is easy to talk to, knowledgeable, skilled, and fast. In a nutshell, he is a dawg at cutting hair. If you want someone who doesn't care about the money, but the actual quality of their work, go the Wray way. You deserve a quality haircut for once in your life. read more

My son went in for a much needed beard trim. Mario was amazing, he is very personable and pays attention to detail. Highly recommended A+ Thank you sir, you are awesome and my son looks great!! read more

Don't come here unless you have an appointment. They'll tell you you're next, then continue to take other customers until all appointments are taken. If they say an hour it's most likely two hours. read more

Remember this review! I comes from a patient old man, that believes customers should be treated, "like the business wants your money!" I had an appointment, arrived 5 minutes early and was still told to sit and wait. There was a barber available, sitting in his barber chair, but he wanted to finish his snack and social media fix for the day. To make things worse, another customer came in after me, indicated he did not have an appointment, and "dufus the barber" sat the "new" customer down in the barber chair ahead of me. This pissed me off, so I asked for a manager/boss and expressed my frustration. He did little to help and I left. I have been to this barber about 10 times, over the last 5 years, because they are close to where I live. I spend at least $40 each time for a simple "senior" haircut. I will never return to this barber shop! They do not want my money. Because I have life experience and listened to my teachers when I went to school, I can do the math and calculate how "shitty service" costs a business. If I were to get a haircut every other month for the next 5 years, they just lost $1,200 of my money, not just the $40 they would have received today. If you read this review and trust the opinion of a 70-year-old man, then you should stop giving them your money also. They don't want it? read more

Rogelio did a great job on my boyfriend's haircut:) nice clean place definitely recommend!

Choose another place! They are way too busy for you. Walked in to ask how long it would be and without even looking up the reply is "Pretty Long". Places like this don't deserve my time, plenty of other great choices. read more

My husband and son went for a haircut. The barber Ethan was amazing. Very friendly and patient with my constantly moving boy.

Asked if the barber could do a flat top he said yes, that was a bold face lie tried stopping him several times he did not listen and completely ignored me and ruined my hair. Never ever again!!!! read more

This was a terrible experience. I scheduled a 10:00 am appointment and at 10:15, not one employee acknowledged my existence. I walked out without anyone saying a word to me. I am not sure what Dave Burns on 98.7 FM is talking about, but this was bad service. read more

This is not your run of the mill barbershop. This is high end with ties to old school. I was a walk in and they took me with very little wait. I got Albert who did great on the guy before me and was happy either the outcome of my cut. Friendly people, they do beards, from full on major cuts to minor trims and evening. I will be back.. read more

my son got his haircut here on Saturday May 25th the haircut is so bad .I attached photos I'm a licensed cosmetologist, but you don't even have to be licensed to see this. You can tell before you even get up close to him. I normally cut his hair, but I did not have time. It's very choppy and very uneven. It's almost looks deliberate. read more

Asked for a simple 1 high fade with 1 inch off the top(Came in with 5-6 inches on the top). Took all but 1-2 inches of hair on the top. Guy couldn't fade my hair at all. Took the fade past the crown of my head so my hair is now a V on top. It looks terrible. Used to be the best shop in town and it has taken a terrible turn. Please work on your quality of product if you are going to try to charge 33 dollars for a haircut. Took 10 min to ruin how may hair will look for months read more

This barbershop is the truth. My barber Carl is the equivalent of a super hero equipped with scissors. I strolled in with scraggly hair looking nearly homeless. Carl and I began game planning, as usual. We decided on the mid skin fade, and he got down to business. This man looked like Gordon Ramsey in the kitchen chopping up my hair. I have never seen anyone so hyper focused on hair follicles in my ENTIRE life. He clearly perfected his craft and I noticed this when he went back and touched up my hair just like DaVinci. This cut was second to none. Walking out of the shop I had a couple people mistake me for a celebrity, courtesy of my boy Carl. Now looking like a superstar isn't for everyone, but if you're after the a rockstar cut, this is your guy. read more

Guys, seriously, go here. Great atmosphere, great service. Ladies, get your guys a gift certificate here at the very least!!!

I have been to Vs once before and the guy did an amazing job. Today I took my son for another haircut and there was only one person available. Being a babe shop, I assumed anyone there was qualified to cut his hair. It didn't look bad when I left...then I got home and into the light. I was so upset. The cut is horrible. And noticeable. I felt like she rushed to get the cut done. She finished my son before the other babe era finished the people already in the chairs when we arrived. It took her about ten minutes tops. I'm upset I paid $30 for this cut. Not even the money part, but for the lack of effort and not caring enough to do what she was hired to do. I now understand why men stick to one barber. The only way I'll return is if I have the same guy I did the first time. I'll be calling first thing when they open because this needs to be fixed and not on my dime. Update: I went back the day after and Carl saved my sons hair! I was so impressed with his willingness to make it right. He also didn't want to accept any money from me every though he deserved every cent! Thanks Carl for turning it around. You're the reason I went from 1 star to 5! Well I met in the middle and gave it a three. But you yourself are 10 stars!!! read more

Don't ask for Will he will just talk and not cut half of your hair. This place makes me so mad. 89 minute wait for TWO people to be in the store. I constantly make an appointment just so they have longer wait times at this point. 45 minute wait and nobody in the store okay makes sense sportclips. Will no offense but how have you spent 1000+hours to cut hair and you can't evenly cut a guys hair like dude focus on your job or your dream will be nothing but a pipe dream. No offense but focus up or you're gonna lose "customers" like me who tip 20 dolllars on a 24 dollar worthless waste of money haircut. I don't come here to have a "chat" with you income to not speak and get my hair cut. Simple. Don't overcomplicate your business or you're gonna end up with no business bro wtf. I'm so upset you made me look so ugly and gross worst haircut in my whole 39 years of life bro wtf actually. I'm seriously so upset about this and I REFUSE to go back I won't ever let you touch my hair again bro take my 20$ tip and please never see me again read more

Worst service since I've been coming here I had an appointment at 3:15 and they took a walk in over my appointment and I was waiting there another 20 minutes and still didn't get my haircut so all I'm saying is if you book an appointment you should be first and you're here in your timeslot barbers should double check the appointment slot to verify my name if you couldn't pronounce it say the last name appointment online is a joke read more

my last hair cut today was not very good the guy cut my hair and it was sam this was the worst time there it usually is good but not so much this time waste of my money tbh read more

Made an appointment by internet for today at 4:30 pm which was confirmed by email. Arrived at 4:30 and was told by manager my appointment was with certain barber who had just finished with a customer. The manager and barber talked with the barber telling manager he did not want to honor my appointment but instead wanted to service another person in the barber shop. Manager told me I'd have to wait until other waiting customer was served. if an appointment with a specific barber at a set time is in their computer system, it should be honored. V has lost me as a customer. read more

Normally I love this place but you have to get lucky with the right person. The girls do a great job but the guys are a 50/50 shot. Last 2 times I had Yelaina (I hope that how she spells it) and she was GREAT, we worked together to get the right look and she's amazing. Then I went there and the guys assured me that they could do it and now I'm stuck wearing a beanie for three weeks. I tried 2 separate guys and not one of them could do a proper fade or use scissors at all. They rely solely on the shaver and couldn't give me the shape I wanted. I ended up with a shaved head and my top untouched. 1st pic is the terrible one (done by guys) 2nd done by girl read more

I get it, you cut hair, but there was no effort towards keeping this place looking remotely clean. Barber was friendly and did a good job.

DO NOT GO HERE!!!!. Literally the worst worst worst. Albert totally ruined my sons lines. Said nothing and ALLOWED him to walk out of the shop with his lines all sorts of effed up!!! Look at the pics, OMG. I get it, people make mistakes. However Albert could have said something and fixed it or shaved it shorter getting rid of the lines. Not allow my son to walk out looking as such. Then, he is still charged full price for his cut and lines. My 2yr old could have done a better job. I called the shop when my son strolls through the door looking all sorts of embarrassing. Manny the 'manager' doesnt care nor wants to see the images of his employees terrible work. Tells me I can bring my son back in... so what? Albert can fix it??? Guy cant even make an even line, why on Earth would I allow this amateur to touch my childs hair again. Manny must be extra 'special' if he thought that was the best resolution. I am beyond furious I have find someone to SOMEHOW fix this before my son leave tomorrow am for a National Tournament. Terrible terrible terrible business. Will spread this to every review site and anytime it is pertinent. Word travels fast and I cannot wait to see them out of business Albert- find some integrity and fix your mistake, no one would have been mad then. Manny- you should be refunding my money by any means possible. That is what a good manager would do. read more

I was there at the beginning. Fresh off the boat (plane), another transplant to the Valley-this one from Montana by way of Salt Lake City, through Billings and Boston. I'd had my haircut before, many times. But this, this was special-worth the drive to Indian School and 44th Street from North Scottsdale. Jimmy V was on to something special. A new location in Kierland was even bigger and better, went there until 2005 when I was yanked out of the Valley and punished in Boise. I would let it grow and then come back for a haircut- a little slice of Zen. Paroled (euphemistically) in 2007, we came back to Phoenix and Jack at Bell Road and 75th took care of me for years. Norterra is close to my home and I've been to this location a couple of times when it first opened and just came away cold. The temperature is about the same. The Valley is full of V's knockoffs and wannabes-which might be the case with this location. I received a "good" haircut, certainly not a great haircut which is what I'd become accustomed to at Barbershop Jacks on High Street. As I was walking towards the shop, a gentleman was coming out looking fresh, "good haircut?" I asked, "Indeed" was the response. Next time I'll ask, "great haircut?". The whole process was less than five minutes, mostly him watching the TV-I'm sure if asked what he does for a living, he responds with, "watch TV". The neck/shoulder massage was, and I'm not exaggerating, less than 20 seconds. No offer of gel or a comb. Again, the cut was good but my have the mighty fallen. V's corporate might consider secret shoppers to monitor the franchisees. read more

This visit was much quicker being that it was during the midmorning on a Thursday. Most of the gentleman were sitting down relaxing and when we walked in David immediately greeted us and offered to take us while the rest of them didn't even acknowledge us. He was excellent with my two sons and did an awesome job. I'll definitely be requesting him again next time! read more

I've been going to this place for over a year. The haircut is good. The service is not good. They take appointments now. So if you get there 15 minutes before they open keep waiting. The staff shows up late on a regular basis. The young son of one of the barbers will joke around with customers instead of communicating to those that are waiting who's next. The laid back show up late attitude may work for some people. Not for me. People have other things to do rather than wait around for an opening. When they finally opened at 10:10am. 10 minutes late on Sunday. 4 people who had appointments went ahead of me. Then when finally it was my turn they took a 1030 appointment in front of me. I'm done. I won't go back. But like I said, if disorganization and lack of communication is fine with you, then go get a good haircut. Make an appointment though. read more

If I could give this place negative stars I would! Barber saw: Younan I brought my 2 year old in for his first cut in a barbershop and he was scared. The guy who did his hair wouldn't let him sit in my lap and then throughout the cut while my son was crying he would keep saying "keep crying, come on cry" and proceed to blow a blow dryer in my sons face. If I tried to comfort my son he would tell me "no, let him cry". My son will NEVER come here again. It took everything in me as a mom to not punch that dip in the face. HORRIBLE HORRIBLE PLACE read more

My barber was way too pushy and I felt like he was rushing to get me through the appointment. The place is a hustle. And when I tried explaining what I wanted for my haircut the guy didn't really listen and just did whatever he wanted. For an hour appointment that also included a shave I was only there for maybe 30 minutes because the guy was rushing so much. The barber was not very friendly. I wouldn't go back. I think Sports Clips is a much better environment. The hot towel I got was only on my face for maybe 30 seconds and the shoulder rub lasted literally 30 seconds too. For half the price you can get a MVI at Sports Clips and actually get a 5 minute relaxing hair wash and warm face towel. I think this franchise is cool and with better owners it could be much more. I don't know why it is so busy seeing how rude and uninviting the staff are. read more

Alex saved my hair. He deserves a raise for his amazing work and advice with styling.

This was my first time going to Vs Barbershop. I just moved to Arizona less than a month ago and needed to find a place to get my haircut. I was ideally looking for a go-to barber/salon that I could turn in to my regular go-to spot. A coworker recommended Vs so I called and made an appointment. The guy on the phone was super nice and said my appointment would be with Manny. I was pumped because I've read a lot of Yelp reviews that mention Manny and say how great he is. When I arrived to the shop it was relatively crowded but there were still plenty of seats to wait in. The shop itself was super clean and had that throwback feel of an old-school barber shop (see pics). I went to the desk and checked in roughly six minutes early for my 1pm appointment and was told my haircut would be with David. I was confused as I had been told before it would be with Manny, Not a big deal, just unexpected. I waited until almost 1:20pm (20 minutes after my appointment). Normally I wouldn't care too much but I was here on a lunch break from work. I was very close to leaving when David came up and said "who's next?" I figured he would come back and ask for me by name but he just asked "who's next?" A guy next to me said "I'm not sure if it's me but I'll go." I had to interrupt and tell them that I had had a 1pm appointment. David went to check the computer and confirmed that I was next. Not a very easy way to get into the chair, but I finally made it! From that point on it was smooth sailing. David was a good guy and did a great job with my haircut. The hot towel, traditional neck shave and neck massage was a nice touch. I'll certainly go back to Vs but would just hope it's a but smoother getting into the chair. read more

V's Barbershop Norterra - Cool barbershop. Has that old school feel to it - Barbers Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

What a horrible place. My husband has tried three times to come in. They won't allow us to make an appointment. We get there today for haircuts for my son and husband. We did call first. Again we couldn't make an appointment. We get there and the guy says 10-15 min. 40 minutes later we still were not seen. And to make it worse, when my two year old started fussing, because he's two, and was waiting 40 min, the one hair cutter made a comment to the person in his chair "glad that isn't you". How unbelievably rude and unprofessional. We will never go back. read more

Need a hair cut, shave or a shoe shine? This is the place to go, V's Barbershop at Norterra.

Its a great location with plenty of places to eat lunch around them after your cut and shave. They can get busy at times but they seem to keep up a brisk pace with their customers while not sacrificing the quality of their work. So don't be alarmed when you go and you see three or four people ahead of you. Take that time to get a free shoe shine while youre waiting. All hair cuts include a shoe shine, a razor trim for your neck and then they throw a hot moist towel on your face while giving you a shoulder and neck massage. The Barbers are all very friendly and experienced. They can do just about anything to your hair but grow it.
