Fantastic experience: I have been going to Urban Barber Shop for over 5 years and Ross has been my main barber. He has great attention to detail and always listens carefully to what you want. He takes pride in his work and the haircut never feels rushed. His fades are always clean and he is extremely skilled with both clippers and shears. I also get beard services regularly and the same level of care and precision is always there. The entire staff is professional respectful and consistent. Appointments are handled properly and I have never had to wait past my scheduled booking time. The shop itself has a great atmosphere clean organized and welcoming. You can tell this place is well run. I have been going to barbershops for over 18 years and this has been the best experience overall. I recently started bringing my 6 year old son here as well and I am looking forward to many years of haircuts together at this shop. If you want high quality service and attention to detail Urban Barber Shop is the place to go.
