Fantastic experience: "ABSOLUTELY 100/10 SERVICE" The haircuts are better than professional and they ARE professionals and I'm shocked how this turned out- Evann (customer) Shout out Smitty.

Fantastic experience: Fabian got me lined up today, I’m getting ready for a big event in my life and was nervous about getting a good haircut before but Fabian gave me one of the best haircuts I’ve had in a long time. Great vibes from all the barbers if I could give 6 stars I would! Editing my previous comment because I just got a masterpiece of a haircut and wanted to shout out KamTheBarber! The first comment was when I had planned on proposing, this haircut is for my honeymoon! Intense cuts is loaded with top notch barbers and I’m glad yall could get me together once again.

Bishonen Edit Published on Google 4 months ago

Fantastic experience: Fabian cut my hair a few weeks ago and he did a great job. I haven’t been to a barber in six years and had a Afro told him I wanted it all buzzed off. He didn’t ask questions. Did it quick efficient and it looked amazing with the line up. Friendly as well as soon as I walked in they asked what I needed!

James Chaffins Published on Google 4 months ago

Fantastic experience: Wholesome barbershop with a great atmosphere. Con was the barber who took care of me and he did a phenomenal job. Great haircut / beard trim with the hot towel. 10/10 would recommend.

Sassa Rivera-Smith Published on Google 4 months ago

Positive experience: The pro is you WILL leave with a great haircut. The cons are you will be leaving there at least 2 hours after your scheduled appointment. You will walk in to see your barber JUST starting on another persons head so cancel any plans after your appt. Barbershop convo will be flagrant, and there will also be a booster trying to sell you something while you’re in the chair.

RDub Wilson Published on Google 4 months ago

Roberto Thornton Published on Google 5 months ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve had the same barber for over 10 years, but recently moved to Louisville and have been searching for someone who could match that level of quality. I showed Drizzy the style I’m used to and he executed it to liking. He also paid attention to the small details like brushing loose hair off my shoes and styling my hair instead of leaving it for me to fix at home. I’ll definitely be back.

Jerrome Johnson Published on Google 7 months ago

Fantastic experience: I've been a regular at this barbershop since I moved here a few years ago, and I gotta say, Fabian makes you feel right at home! He's super friendly and personable with everyone who walks through the door. If he’s booked up, he’ll do his best to get you in with one of the other talented barbers in the shop. The team here is a real mix of backgrounds, ethnicities, and experiences, which adds to the welcoming vibe. The shop has that classic Barbershop movie feel. Everyone’s chatting away about all kinds of topics, and it’s open for anyone to jump in and share their thoughts. I’ve never felt any negative energy here; it’s always positive and lively. When it comes to beard trims, Fabian’s my go-to guy. He really takes his time to make sure everything’s perfect. Covering my beard, neck, and even catching those little missed spots without me having to say a word. And honestly, for the price, I couldn’t ask for better service. So, shoutout to Fabian! Keep doing your amazing work!
