I’ve been going to Refinery for over a year. Hands down the best quality haircuts I’ve ever gotten. My barber Ruben does an excellent job and always delivers with a great cut.

I’ve been going to Ruben for a couple of years now and wouldn’t go anywhere else. He’s consistent, takes his time, and always does a great job. Beyond being an excellent barber, he’s a genuinely great guy and always makes the experience enjoyable. If you’re looking for someone you can trust to give you a great cut every time, I highly recommend Ruben!
Hatchi is amazing and does a great job every time. He doesn’t rush you and makes sure you’re happy with the end result. Offers advise on cuts if it’s your first time with him and what styles work or don’t. Great member of the community as well and it’s nice to support a local business
