My husband has been getting his haircut here for years and now takes our 3yo and 1yo too. Our 3yo loves getting his haircut by Mr. Jerron. We appreciate how easy it is to book appointments and pricing is very fair. Always punctual too and the shop is quaint and Afro-centric. Super patient with young kids and they always look so great after their cuts!
Amazing service. I was looking for a barber since I moved here and these folks do a wonderful job. I get my beard and haircut done and I’m always satisfied and relaxed. The barbers are skilled and friendly. Their suggestions are also wonderful. I loved the atmosphere, music, and location. They also offer libations for the longer cuts. Giovanni and Peter are awesome! Parking is easy too. It’s a little on the pricey end (still competitive with other local barbers) but worth the price. Love that they take their time and are extremely detailed. 10/10 would recommend!
