I've been going to this shop for several years now and highly recommend it, especially if you're looking for a fresh fade. My barber, Jimmy, is a true artist and a great dude! He never rushes a cut and I always leave looking 100% better than I looked walking in. Hands down, one of the best barbers in the city. He also mentors the younger barbers as he works. A solid guy. The shop has a great vibe as well. It's kind of an old-school ambience where you can joke around and laugh. Sometimes you have to wait a bit, but it's a barbershop, what do you expect? It's a chill place.

Can't say enough good things about Anthony! Always a great cut and conversation. I've been going to him for almost a year and will be going back for a long time. If you're looking for a great experience and a job well done, I'd definitely book an appointment with Anthony!

This place is amazing. I called hoping I could get in as a walk in and they got me in. I didn't catch my barbers name but he did a great job and was very nice. I highly recommend this place.

It can be challenging to find a great barber, and like anything, location mixed in with service is key. I've had my hair cut at times on the road for work, but when at home, this area and location is walking distance. It's easy to make an appointment via the app. So far Omar O. and Omar R. have cut my hair and they have done a great job. Its easy to book thru the app. Their prices are reasonable and the offer of a "free clean up" a few weeks after your initial haircut is brilliant for both their business as well as, well, for me. It makes this a reasonable place to get a haircut, keeps it budget friendly while also allowing me to make sure tip by the barber well and will keep me as a loyal customer.

Christine was great. So far, it's the most expensive place for a boys cut at 40. She was super sweet with him and cut with care. She listened to both of our wants and needs.

Adrian is my guy! He does such a nice job with my two boys. The staff is nice. I recommend booking online so you are sure to get in.
