Reviews
I had an amazing experience at Black Bear Barbershop! Amanda gave me a scissor cut, and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. She really listened to what I wanted, took her time, and made sure every detail was just right. The cut came out exactly how I envisioned it.
The shop itself was spotless, welcoming, and had a great atmosphere. Everyone was friendly and professional, which made the whole experience even better. If you’re looking for a barber who does an incredible scissor cut, I highly recommend Amanda. I’ll definitely be coming back!
I can’t recommend Black Bear Barbershop enough! Someone recommended this shop because my brother is really picky about his haircuts, and they definitely did not disappoint. We booked with Manny, and he was fantastic. He took his time, paid attention to every detail, and made sure everything came out exactly how we wanted.
My brother got a taper fade, and it came out super clean and blended perfectly. Manny was professional, friendly, and made the whole experience comfortable. If you’re looking for a barber who truly knows what they’re doing, definitely ask for Manny. We’ll absolutely be coming back!
