Old school vibe barbershop that is professional and friendly. They were able to accommodate a last-minute booking for a shave and trim. Nice espresso and cold water to top off the experience. Very fair pricing with a high emphasis on attention to detail. Advise this is a cash or check only establishment. Great hidden gem for the gents. Highly recommend.

I walked into Bristle and Blade looking like a tired insurance salesman and walked out looking like I just landed a GQ cover shoot. Not sure if they’re cutting hair or performing miracles back there. My fade was so clean, my own reflection gave me a double take. These guys don’t just use clippers—they use wizardry.

If you want a cut that makes your ex question her life choices and your boss wonder if you just got promoted without him knowing, book your appointment yesterday. 10/10, would trust them with my hair and my secrets. I

From the moment we walked in - the experience at The Bristle & Blade Barbieria was above and beyond. The owner could not be kinder and more accomodating! He made my son feel like he was in such good hands for his haircut - and he was! The haircut came out perfectly. It's obvious how much the staff here cares about not only how the haircut turns out, but that the entire experience is a positive one. I am so thankful we chose to go here and already can't wait for the next time.
