Dark Root Barbershop

Jan 2024

I cannot say enough about Dark Root. When I moved to pittsburgh in 2021, I had a nightmare of a time finding a barber. I went through several who messed my hair up, cut my beard way too short, or just faded it like super cuts would but with a $60 price tag.Fast forward to a short few months into 2021, I came across dark root and never looked back.

My son needed a haircut bad. In my opinion, everybody can’t cut hair. I’m very picky when it comes to my son hair. We called Dark Roots and ain’t know anything about this location. I called and Chris answered. Told me and my son too come in. He was cool is ever from start. I was a lil nervous not knowing what we walking into lol… Chris took his time doing my son hair & of course my son wanted his eyebrows cut. Chris gave my lil man his hairline back and more. I finally found a barber for my son. Nobody will be touching my son hair but Chris for now on. Thank you Chris!
