Holy Moses: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Helped me figure out a great haircut for my interview!
Fantastic experience: Everyone here is genuinely pleasant, thank you Becky for making me look better than I thought I could every month
Fantastic experience: Chris did an incredible job. I will be back.
Fantastic experience: Matt always does an amazing job with my hair. He’s super attentive to detail and makes sure I get exactly what I want every time. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a barber or haircut.
Fantastic experience: Professional place to get an excellent value men's haircut with style. Parking easy.
Fantastic experience: Great haircut, just the way I like it. Julia does a great job.
Fantastic experience: I have been out of Cbus for an Extended period and returned to HM to Josh. As always he was most professional and gave me the same great haircut and trim that he always has. Josh is awesome!!! It was like I was there last week. Awesome atmosphere, staff, friendly and +++ in all regards.
Fantastic experience: Wanted a fresh look! I got a recommendation to Matt and he has exceeded my expectations! Great conversations as well.
Fantastic experience: Wanted to try a new place for a really good, professional haircut after doing the same thing for 25 years in the military. Marisa was fantastic! She did a great job of listening and then figuring out just what to do without much help from me. The shop has a great vibe and friendly staff too. I’ll definitely be getting my hair cut by Marisa again!
Fantastic experience: Holy Moses is amazing and so is Becky Burdette . She always does the best job and gets me out of there in time to get my kids from school’ never a disappointment . A decent prices for hair cutts and styles. Thanks for always doing an amazing job .
Fantastic experience: Came in with a mop of hair that hadn't been cut in a year...Chris patiently sorted out the mop and made my hair look nice! Thank you, Chris!
Fantastic experience: Shinobi is an excellent barber. Couldn’t ask for a better experience and cut especially for the 1st time meeting. Great recommendation on product to use. I got a medium/high skin fade.
Fantastic experience: Matt was very good at his barbering abilities. We spent a small amount of time communicating what I was looking to achieve. He was a very good listener and quite easy to talk with. He hit the grand slam with my expectation. Really like the haircut. Great job my friend!! See you in December, Dan
Fantastic experience: All of the staff were very friendly. Becky was very nice and gave me a great haircut. I highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: They were able to slide me in on short notice. I picked first time client consult, ended up getting a haircut and was told they couldn't add my beard trim later - though I couldn't add on the site. Still a great cut and kind. Got past that minor annoyance, just realize first time client appt is seperate from the services you want apparently.
Fantastic experience: I brought my 17-year-old son in, who is on the autism spectrum. Chris was patient and accommodating to his needs. He also received a GREAT haircut. Thank you Holy Moses!
Fantastic experience: Shinobi did an excellent job and really paid attention to the details. Very happy with the results.
Fantastic experience: I have been bringing my son Egan to Holy Moses for a couple of years now and it has always been a wonderful experience....today I was running a a little bit late for our appointment and instead of making me reschedule...they immediately got my son in with another stylist...I cant remember his name, but he was great.. I have have always appreciated the service we get here and because of that I am willing to make the 25 min drive to get there. Thank you again. Sharon
Fantastic experience: Took my 13-year-old son in as a new customer to see Matt. He showed Matt a picture online and he executed perfectly. Everyone left happy.
Fantastic experience: Matt got me feeling fresh and confident. Top tier experience and results. A true professional showcasing his talent.
Fantastic experience: Gwen is an artist- and brilliant with awkward teenage boys. LOL. We drive nearly 1.5 hours to get this cut and she’s worth every minute and every dollar!
Fantastic experience: Definitely more of a pricey place but very good vibes and staff that are professional yet fun and attentive to customer needs
Fantastic experience: It really is unfortunate that the highest score possible is a 5. Mary, as usual, is wonderful. One time after a cut, I walked outside and a horde of goblins tried to carry me away. Mary single-handedly fought them off with nothing more than a fork and a baseball. They’ve never returned. I think the courage she showed that day speaks for itself.
Fantastic experience: My haircut with Matt was one of the best I’ve had!! My girlfriend says I look like Robert Pattinson! 20/10 would go again
Fantastic experience: The best haircut I’ve ever had! Give this man a raise! Matt made it such a great experience and an awesome environment. This man cares deeply about his job and taking care of his clients. I would recommend him to everyone.
Fantastic experience: All the staff is super professional. The owner has done a great job in hiring exceptional talent; you won't get a bad haircut!
Negative experience: These guys are typically great but latest experience was a let down and the last straw. $50 for only 30 minutes and telling me you cannot finish the haircut because your next client is here (15 min [33% of the appointment] before my appointment ends) is insane. Especially since the barber in question has never had an issue cutting into 10 minutes of my appointment time to finish someone else’s haircut. If you need more time to cut hair, cut down on the barbershop banter. Unfortunately, this is not the first time my 45-minute appointment was cut short. Time to find another barbershop.
Fantastic experience: Holy Moses is the perfect barber shop. Booking is easy, the cancellation policy is reasonable, prices are fair for high quality services, and ALL of the employees are friendly and experienced. I see Mary for all of my haircuts, she's phenomenal! She is professional, kind, conversational, and excellent at her craft; I highly recommend Mary!
Fantastic experience: Holy Moses is a great environment. Ian is the best barber I've ever had.
Fantastic experience: Really good haircut. Did something different I normally don't get, so I liked how it turned out. Stylist was cute too and and a great personality to talk to. We basically just made fun of dogs. Good times.
Fantastic experience: Aubrey is a straight-up hair wizard. I walk in with vague hand gestures and half-baked descriptions like, “kinda shorter but not too short, you know?”—and somehow, he nails it every single time. It’s like he reads my mind, but only the part that knows what a good haircut looks like. On top of that, he’s super chill, great to talk to, and makes the whole experience feel more like catching up with a friend than sitting in a barber chair. 10/10, would trust him with my head again.
Fantastic experience: Clean establishment, very nice staff, my wait was short and my service was really thorough and attentive. Aubrey does a really nice job.
Fantastic experience: Ian, one of the coolest barbers I’ve met. Great conversations, great attitude and best of all I walked out a great cut. Highly recommended! Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Julia did a phenomenal job! Completely transformed my hairstyle. Haven’t had a barber that left me looking and feeling this great in years, 10/10 would definitely go back!!!
Fantastic experience: Mat is an absolute gem! I showed him a full tutorial video (which he already knew by heart!), but he still listened patiently and kindly, never rushing or interrupting. He took the time to understand exactly what I wanted and even suggested a haircut that perfectly matched my style and vision. The result was even better than I imagined! Highly recommend Mat if you’re looking for someone skilled, attentive, and genuinely thoughtful
Fantastic experience: 3rd time here, I was hesitant and I haven't been in a few months because the last time was not a great experience so I went to a different location and... Really solid haircut, I was unsure what I wanted when I went in and I mentioned that I'd had a couple bad cuts recently and was especially nervous about the beard trim which is why I decided to spend the extra money and go to holy Moses and I wasn't disappointed! 10/10... she even said if I look in the mirror in a couple days and I didn't like it that she would fix it! Which is a first for me. You definitely get what you pay for but 90 bucks with a tip I can probably only afford to go once every month or 2. Still happy with it though!!
Fantastic experience: In town for a conference, needed a quick cut early in the morning. Not only was Holy Moses open earlier than most other shops, but they were energetic and welcoming! A great experience and a rad environment. Whether you are a local or in town- get a cut and beard trim here!!
Fantastic experience: Aubrey was fantastic! Put in the extra time and effort. Completely exceeded expectations. I plan on having Aubrey cut my hair each time going forward!
Fantastic experience: Aubrey was excellent! I usually walk away from a hair cutting experience with some disappointment but this has been my best hair cut! I absolutely loved it and Aubrey listened to my wishes and made it happen!
Fantastic experience: gone twice so far and each time i left with the cleanest fade, had issac the first time and josh the second both are amazing and fun to talk to
Fantastic experience: Meghan is the best!! As a woman with a pixie, I had the hardest time finding a stylist who could give me the textured, androgynous look I was going for and Meghan nails it every single time. She gives me the scissor texture of my dreams and my haircuts grow out so nice too. Ive never been able to stretch a short haircut so long, at this point I schedule return visits just because I miss Meghan not because my hair needs it. As someone who used to dread haircuts it's genuinely emotional when I get to walk into Holy Moses feeling excited and happy, knowing I am going to look/feel like myself. Thank you Meghan! <3
Fantastic experience: Marisa was incredibly attentive and friendly. She made sure she understood what type of haircut I wanted and was also great during the brow wax. Will definitely be coming back!
Fantastic experience: Holy Moses is a great barber shop. I ended up there because the stylist I was seeing got a job there. I like the atmosphere and the haircut I get is always perfect. The price is high, but I think it is fair for the service and quality of haircut you get.
Fantastic experience: I've been going to Zach for my beard trims, and he does an exceptional job every time. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a fresh cut.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been seeing Mary for about two years now. She’s a positively wonderful hair stylist. If you have loose curly hair, I highly recommend booking an appointment with her!
Fantastic experience: Matt was incredible from the start. Made me feel welcomed and achieved my vision to perfection (taper fade + texture). I don’t think I’ve ever gotten my hair so well cut before.
Fantastic experience: I don’t post reviews much, but wowza. I’ve never had such a great experience getting a haircut. The Grandview location is a super chill vibe (I kept making eye contact with their portrait of Willie Nelson and I couldn’t help but feel his approval) and everyone is super professional (albeit, very friendly and charismatic)! Chaz made me look like a million bucks, and was super excited about the direction that I wanted to go with my hair. Super easy conversation with him. I used to get my hair cut like once a year and let it grow out. But I really dig what he did for me and I want to keep this style going for a while. These guys have a passion for what they do and it really shows. Highly recommend Holy Moses! (Please forgive the before photo, I’m working on branding for my music and was going for a vibe)
Fantastic experience: Matt really went beyond just being a barber. He not only gave me an incredible cut and clean up, but connected with me personally. Can’t wait for my next cut!
Fantastic experience: Josh is amazing. Haircuts are flawless and he gives me a sucker every time. They aren't crappy sucker's either. Ask for the leather and cucumber flavored one. It's not as bad as it sounds.
Fantastic experience: I switched to Holy Moses back in September when looking for a new barber. I have been thoroughly impressed not only with the location and staff but also the barber Matt. He always takes care of me and would highly recommend Holy Moses and Matt. Happy I found a new place to save me the 40 min drive to my previous salon.
Fantastic experience: My hair had always been a disaster = never conforming to the direction of my comb. That until I walked into Holy Moses and had Chaz attack my hair . . . Obviously, he is a professional who knows how hair grows & flows and his cutting style coaxes it to flow the way I want - naturally. Despite the long drive I happily visit Chaz every month and a half. Conversations are great too!
Fantastic experience: Being my first experience at Holy Moses, I was a little unsure of what to expect, but Zach quickly put my mind at ease. His attention to detail and communication made me feel totally comforted. I knew I was in good hands as soon as I took a seat. Not only were his barber skills incredible, he spoke to me like we were friends for years, and that truly stuck. I highly recommend Holy Moses barbershop and Zach. I definitely will be making this my new barbershop stop!
Fantastic experience: Holy Moses is great. I receive my hair cuts from Justin, and I enjoy his company and his talent. This is a great spot with a great atmosphere. I need to make sure that my "hard-part" is done correctly, and that each side is faded and/or styled correctly. So I appreciate having a stylist that knows what they are doing and can do it with the same precision every time.
Fantastic experience: Aubrey was super personable and attentive and helped me achieve the look I was after. The environment at Holy Moses had a really chill, friendly vibe with a nice modern aesthetic. I'll definitely be back!
Fantastic experience: I take my haircuts more seriously than most things in life—probably more seriously than I should. After my regular barber jumped ship to another salon that then went "ladies only" (talk about a plot twist), I’ve been on a bit of a hair-raising adventure trying to find someone who gets it right. And trust me, I’ve had some *bad* haircuts along the way. Enter Julia at Holy Moses, the hero of my hair story. She nailed it! Not only did she give me exactly what I asked for, but she kept checking in during the cut to make sure everything was on point. Plus, she made the whole experience super relaxed—great conversation, great atmosphere, and, most importantly, a great haircut. Long story short: Julia’s got the magic touch, and I’ll definitely be back. My search for a good haircut is finally over—and my hair and I are very relieved!
Fantastic experience: Matt is absolutely awesome. Calm demeanor, friendly, and super helpful and responsive to input/feedback. Will definitely take the time to make sure you get the cut you want.
Fantastic experience: Matt was fantastic! Love my haircut and it’s exactly what I was looking for. Really enjoyed talking to him; he’s such an amazing person and a true asset to the business. I will definitely be back! Thank you!
Negative experience: Pretty frustrated with Tiff and Holy Moses. I got my first haircut there 4 weeks ago. Had to wait about 10-15 minutes for Tiff to finish up with the person before me, but I consider that normal. I was happy with the cut and made an appointment to come back. Today I go in for my appointment. I was 8 minutes late due to traffic. Wouldn’t think that was a big deal, as again, I waited 15 minutes last time. Well, I was told I’d have to reschedule because she had another after me. I decided not to reschedule as I have no interest in going back if that’s how it works. So I’ll be looking for another barber shop.
Fantastic experience: Best haircut of my life. Julia really knows what she is doing and is so meticulous. She is the only person I will let cut my hair from now on!
Fantastic experience: Fantastic vibe with some many talented barbers and stylists. I like to mix it up and go to someone new, and I always enjoy the service and the experience. If you are the fence, just go for it!
Fantastic experience: Been going to Holy Moses for awhile to get my hair cut. I recently switched to having my hair cut by Amanda. She does an amazing job and her vibe is super laid back. Recently took my kid for a hair too and she did a great job with his hair too. Parking can be rough, but worth it!
Fantastic experience: I was traveling to West Virginia and Columbus was one of my stops. I decided to book a last minute haircut with Marissa. From what I saw she just recently started working at Holy Moses. Its always a little scary getting a cut from someone you've never been to before. Marissa seriously gave me one of the best haircuts of my life. If I lived near by she would be the only Barber I would ever go to. Thanks again for giving me such an awesome cut and hope life treats you well!
Fantastic experience: Everyone was friendly and professional, and my hair looks great! Got some great info on products and styling too. Thank you again Chaz, I will definitely be coming back!
Fantastic experience: Love this place. My first time there I entered hopeful I’d find the barber for me, I left with a smile on my face knowing I had. Everyone there was super friendly and had great energy. Matt did a fantastic job cutting my hair but even better was his friendly and welcoming demeanor. Type of guy you meet and you just think “what a great guy, I like that guy”
Fantastic experience: Loved my experience, thorough, gentle, and an overall great cut and shave. Zach really was excellent and was willing to match energy with me as I was pretty quiet and nervous since I had never been before. But by the end I was feeling relaxed because he was great.
Fantastic experience: Ian has given me great cuts everytime over the past year ! Very detailed and listens to what you want. Asks for feedback along the way. Makes suggestions when needed but does not make you feel pressured. Good with beards and short to medium mens hair ! Makes you feel welcome for the entire length of the cut.
Fantastic experience: Holy Moses is one of the best shops in the city, and for better or worse, they know it. You can get a great haircut in a lot of places, but I've been coming here for a while now because I've finally found a barber/stylist who's taken the time to understand my weird head and figure out what works best for me. I've yet to have a bad cut.
Fantastic experience: Zack did a great job taking care of my grandson and me yesterday. My nine year old grandson and I both got haircuts and I got a much-needed beard trim. This was my second appointment with Zack; he’s a highly skilled and highly personable barber. I appreciate a scissor cut and Zach handles scissors with precision. I switched to Holy Moses after having gone to the same barber shop and barber for over 15 years; I just needed a change. Lucky for me, I found Holy Moses and booked my first appointment with Zach - he’s definitely become my go-to barber. On a side note, my grandson has tactile sensitivities and doesn’t like getting his hair combed or head touched. Needless to say, he was in desperate need of a haircut. With a bit of communication beforehand, Zach did an awesome job - my grandson really liked his haircut and told his parents about Zach and all the “cool stuff” Zach used on him while he was there. He said, “Holy Moses isn’t a “cookie-cutter” kind of barber shop like the ones my friends go to.” I’m pretty sure Zach has gained another regular client. In my opinion, Holy Moses is a contemporary barber shop with good music, impeccable cleanliness, a comfortable and spacious waiting area, and all-around great customer service.
Negative experience: I was 9 minutes late and was refused service I begged the staff to let me wait for as long as it would take offering a tip of 100 dollars and anything that it would take and got no sorry or any empathy at all. This is the only day off I have with the vp of my organization in town and rushed to get here. I will be working 14-16 hours daily for the next couple weeks with no time for this and I am just so confused and disappointed. I even called to schedule this at 10 am and when I asked if the 530 time slot was too late given they close at 7 was assured it would be no problem and they would get me in
Fantastic experience: Zach is amazing! He really took the time to consult on my 13 year old son's haircut. He also is very personable and easy to talk to. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Matt really enjoys his work and is very genuine while talking to him. He made me feel comfortable and took the time to tailor my experience. He also managed to make my hair and beard look great! Thanks, Matt!
Fantastic experience: Mary is an excellent stylist as well as a gotdang delight to converse with. Scheduling is easy and the prices are reasonable. I am very happy with Mary and the whole Holy Moses crew!
Fantastic experience: Great experience overall. Not only do I love my haircut, but Matt gave me more hair advice than I have ever had in all my haircuts combined. Definitely will be coming back again.
Fantastic experience: Tiff is amazing! Every time that I get my haircut I get compliments from my coworkers, friends, and sometimes strangers about how much they like my hair. I would highly recommend you getting your next cut from Tiff.
Fantastic experience: I recently had the pleasure of visiting this salon, and I must say that the experience exceeded my expectations. The stylist, Ian, demonstrated exceptional skill, creativity, and attention to detail. Not only did they execute my desired hairstyle flawlessly, but they also provided personalized recommendations that enhanced the overall result. What stood out the most was Ian's professionalism and commitment to customer satisfaction. They actively listened to my preferences, ensuring a collaborative and enjoyable salon experience. The ambiance was inviting, and the service was delivered with genuine enthusiasm. I highly commend Ian for their talent and dedication to their craft. Their friendly demeanor and commitment to excellence make them an asset to this salon. In my opinion, Ian truly deserves recognition and a raise for consistently delivering outstanding service. I look forward to my next visit and experiencing their expertise again!
Fantastic experience: Zach was great! I came in for the first time today and he took the time to really analyze my hair and be thoughtful about his work. He helped me to learn how to better style my hair and try something new. Definitely would recommend and will be back. Great value.
Fantastic experience: Thanks so much, Amanda. It was a great first experience at Holy Moses. You and Megan did a terrific job. Looking forward to the next time. Happy Holidays!
Fantastic experience: Best haircut I’ve had in years. Sami was super friendly and professional. She took her time and made sure we got the cut exactly how I wanted. She had some useful suggestions along the way and always double checked with me first. Cannot recommend here enough!
Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to see Jordan for well over a year now and he’s a fantastic barber and a wonderful guy. Typically booking a haircut and dropping $40 is something everyone dreads but I look forward to seeing and talking with him every time. The atmosphere of the shop is unbelievable and more times than not conversations with Jordan spill over into debates and conversations with the other guests and barbers. It’s an unmatched place and one everyone should consider going to.
Fantastic experience: Josh and the rest of the Holy Moses team are great at what they do and at being good human beings. Always a welcoming environment with a good vibe. Best and most importantly of all, the quality of service is stellar. Thanks everyone.
Fantastic experience: Best barbershop in Columbus, hands down. You’re fine going to literally any of them. I regularly get a fade + men’s cut for $50 every two weeks, very much worth it considering how difficult it is to find a barber who you consistently like in new areas - again, you’re safe with literally any of the individuals here
Fantastic experience: Keegan’s last experience at a barber shop did not go well, so he was very anxious. Bryan was awesome! Eased his anxiety and gave him the cut and style he wanted. That’s important for a 13 year old boy! Thanks, Bryan! We will be back!
Fantastic experience: Been seeing Kasey for half a year. Great stylist and good at carrying on a conversation. Always leave feeling good. So cheers and do yourself a favor and book her if enjoy a great cut, style and conversation.
Fantastic experience: Megan has always done a stellar job with my hair and beard. None can compare and true story, my wife says I'm not allowed to let anyone else cut me after she saw her work. 11/10 Recommend
Fantastic experience: 3rd time at the Grandview location since I moved to OH six months ago. First two times was OK, trial and error, and the third time is indeed a charm! Meghan is easy to talk to and certainly knows what she is doing. I wanted to have the back shortened a bit more and she dissuaded me from doing that. Glad I listened, even though a bit hesitantly. Will be back.
Fantastic experience: John is an exceptional barber and incredible personality - he can help you find your best look while keeping dialogue open, hilarious, and relatable. I would HIGHLY recommend John / anyone at Holy Moses for your hair needs!
Fantastic experience: Meghan gave both of my boys great haircuts. She was very kind about the extra work of creating multiple ponytails so that the boys could donate their hair. My eldest son loves his cut (possibly the first professional haircut he has loved in years!), and my youngest is rocking his as well. Thank you!
Positive experience: I’ll start off by saying the place is very clean and everyone is very nice, which is why I gave 2 stars. As far as the haircut and price that’s another thing. $35 for a haircut that I could’ve got at greatclips and they didn’t even bother touching my beard or even asked me if I wanted anything done to it. Every barbershop I’ve ever gone to, the barber always asks me if I want anything done to my beard, I guess I expected the same at holy moses. I’m sure they would’ve charged me an additional $15 anyway. This barbershop was just not for me.
Fantastic experience: Had a lovely first experience at Holy Moses, Mary did an exceptional job! Best hair cut I’ve received, honestly. Highly recommend this location to anyone interested in stopping in.
Fantastic experience: Lisa is always great, and is the only barber/stylist I go to in Columbus. She always gives me a great haircut, makes really good suggestions when I'm not sure want I want to do or how to style my hair, and is easy to talk to. I couldn't be happier with her service. Easy 5 stars.
Fantastic experience: First time customer, rolled the dice and booked an appointment for a different perspective on my hairstyle (same person has been cutting it for about 9 yrs), GREAT DECISION!! I was scheduled with John, he did a fantastic job, made suggestions, etc. John, great coversation as well, I will be scheduling again in a few weeks and thanks for the great cut.
Fantastic experience: Friendly professionals who will definitely take care of you! If you are looking for top tier service then you must check out Holy Moses! The staff are all great but a huge shout out to James and Adam! Several locations across Columbus with recently opening a new shop in Dublin off Glick Rd. Thank you to all of the Holy Moses staff- you guys rock!!
Fantastic experience: I've been to a lot of different barber shops in Columbus, but finally found my go to spot in Holy Moses. Jordan is awesome and always gives a great, consistent haircut. I always feel good walking out of Holy Moses
Negative experience: The stylists here are great at what they do but I had a TERRIBLE customer experience here with Madison (front desk) and Mary (stylist). For the record I’ve been a regular and have exclusively had my haircut here every 3ish weeks for the last 8 months and always tip 25%-35%. Today they just lost a long term customer. Called an hour ahead of my appointment to ask if it would be OK if I were 10 minutes late. I spoke to Madison on the phone, and was specifically told “we have a 15 minute grace period, and your appointment is for 45minutes, so as long as you check in by 5:15 you will be fine but because Mary has another client right after you, if you arrive after 5:15 we would have to cancel”. I showed up at 5:10, exactly 10 minutes late as previously discussed. Had to stand in line and checked in successfully by 5:12 and was sent to the waiting area to wait. After waiting for 2 minutes Mary came and introduced herself and had me sit in her chair. She then explained because I was late she would only be able to “clean up the sides with a trimmer” and couldn’t touch the top of my hair (not even acknowledging how ridiculous that would look, nor acknowledging that $40 to “trim the sides” is ridiculous). I told her that I had called ahead, spoke to Madison who said this would all be OK over the phone, and even pulled Madison into the conversation to confirm. All I got was “sorry, there is nothing we can do”. I am so upset about this - I would have cancelled if I was told this ahead of time. I loved getting my haircuts here but sadly will not be coming back.
Fantastic experience: This was our first time here. My son had the best haircut he’s ever gotten with Jordan today. We loved everything about Holy Moses. Jordan was kind, cool, and talented. It was top notch and we will be back!
Fantastic experience: James is the best! Not only because he is an absolute professional and his skills are perfect (haircut is always on point), but he always has a welcoming smile, asks how you are doing, and keeps the conversation fun! Moreover, all of the other workers at Holy Moses are extremely friendly and professional, so the entire experience is fantastic. My rating for James and Holy Moses in general has been and continues to be perfection. Highly, highly recommended and I can’t wait for the Dublin, Ohio location to open up!
Fantastic experience: I am so picky with my hair, and after living in Seattle for 4 years, was anxious to find a new barber here in Columbus. If you’re looking for a good fade, Joshua is the guy for you! 11/10 highly recommend
Fantastic experience: Jordan took the time to walk me through ideas and suggestions on how to style and care for my specific kind of hair, which I really appreciated. I gave him an idea of what I usually get and trusted him to do his own version of it, and it turned out incredible! Hands down my favorite haircut I've ever gotten, and well worth the money. Can't wait to go back!
Fantastic experience: Holy Moses has been my go-to haircut place for a few years now. I drive a half hour from the suburbs to get here and its worth it. Cord cuts my hair well and is a chill conversationalist as he does it. I value good service and consistency, and I get both here.
Fantastic experience: Jordan did an amazing job on our son's Wild Thing haircut. He listened, gave me the game plan, and made some magic happen. We love the attention to the cut in the back and the look of the top and front. We will definitely be returning to see Jordan!
