    Kurt took great care of me at Black Market! Called for a day-of appt and he kindly fit me into his schedule. Convenient location and the whole shop had a great vibe - good music, clean, comfy aesthetic, genuine customer service and welcoming energy. I was really happy w the side shave design and would absolutely come here again :) cheers kurt

    I stopped by this barbershop for the first time the other day and had a great experience. Blake cut my hair right before I had to head out of town, and he absolutely came through. He took his time, listened to what I wanted, and made sure everything was dialed in before I left the chair.

    Pricing was more than fair, the shop was clean, easy to get to, and parking was convenient—which always matters. I appreciated that Blake gave me exactly what I asked for but also shared a few suggestions based on his experience, which made the cut even better.

    Overall, it was well worth it. I’ll definitely be back.

    First time visiting the shop and definitely wont be my last. Atmosphere was on point, and the shop overall was very welcoming and clean. Kurt cut my hair today, and I'm truly mad it has taken me this long to find this gem! I got hooked up with a cut and shave, feeling like a brand new man. Book your next appointment, you won't be disappointed I can assure you.

    This place is the real deal! Blake is great, and the shop has a great vibe. I’ve been going for years and won’t change anytime soon.

    Been coming here for over a year now, and it’s consistently great. The atmosphere is always spot on—cool music playing, sports on the TV, and all the barbers are genuinely cool

    Highly recommend booking with Blake. He’s super chill, really skilled, and he’ll definitely get you right every single time.

    We stumbled upon Black Market Barbershop when my 10 year old daughter wanted a heart carved into the side of her head. The owner sat her right down, in between clients, and did his thing. It turned out perfect, my daughter was over the moon. When we asked him how much it was he said "that's on me". Very nice place, and people. We aren't surprised to see all his excellent reviews this barbershop has, as the team there seemed very professional and nice.

    1 star for the barber and two for the shop itself. May try again with different barber but if your're going to charge double Sports Clips then the service should atleast be twice as better. A 1hr service done in 15 minutes flat. No products, no convo, no upsale, ZERO DETAIL. I should have known better but never again will I trust a barber who isn't even lined up himself. How are you gonna make me look fresh when you're lookin as rough as me? Store looked clean and nice, had refreshments but I was never offered one. This has become all too typical: make the barbershop look badass and put substandard barbers in there and charge high pricing for the location
    Nobody cares about all that store glam when they walk out $70 lighter with a $20 Fantastic Sam's cut for the next month.

    Kurt hooks it up every time. Super chill, always on time, and knows how to bless a fade. I walk out feeling sharp, and everyone else I see stepping out looks fresh as hell too. The whole crew at Black Market brings it. Go get right.

    Riley is an absolute pro. I've been getting my hair cut by her for a while now, and she's consistently professional, reliable, and delivers a clean, sharp cut every time. What truly sets her apart is her consistency. Whether it's a quick trim or a more detailed style, she delivers exactly what you ask for every time. She listens carefully, pays close attention to detail, and clearly takes pride in her work. Walking into Black Market Barbershop the whole crew is super welcoming and friendly. The shop strikes the perfect balance between professional and laid-back, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in. If you're looking for a reliable, talented barber, Riley is the one. Highly recommend!
