“Best barber shop in the world. The people who run the place treat you like family, and always do a fantastic job. My biggest regret in life is losing my hair and not needing to visit anymore. There's also a really cool, handsome dude from Texas who comes in from time to time and buys pizza from the world-famous Zacharys to share with everyone!!“

“Came with my 2nd grade son and both got haircuts quickly. Griff is easy to talk to and great at taking his time with a cut. My son had a great time. We'll absolutley be back!“

“$38 haircut for men. Trimmed my beard and mustache also. Maya was good. Highly recommended. Tennessee is the secret 🤫🤣😂“

“I now live in Seattle but spent about 7 years in California. Frank and May always kept me right during those years. I finally made my way back to the town this past weekend and got the pleasure of getting a cut by Frank. I got to say, it was absolutely amazing. My wife loved the cut too which is always a plus! Frank is the GOAT and I really appreciate the time I spend in his chair. It felt like home! Love this shop and will continue to come back every time I’m in the town. Love you Frank, T, little Gray, and most importantly May!“
