Fantastic experience: My son recommended The Guys Place for a haircut, specifically stating to ask for Jennifer. Immediately upon arrival, throughout the entire haircut, I felt so comfortable. The place is very nice, and the people I had a chance to speak to were really nice and friendly. I strongly recommend this location for your haircut. Ask for Jennifer! She’s the best!!

Negative experience: Had Jason to cut my 16 yr old son’s hair for the first time and will not ever use him again. My son showed him a picture of how he wanted it cut which was something of a modern mullet. My son has thick curly hair and expressed to Jason that people always cut his hair shorter than what he ask for and I be Damned if he didn’t cut all of my sons curls off the top and back, way shorter than what he asked for. Called back up there to let him know he wasn’t happy and he tried telling me he didn’t even cut the top of his hair, a blatant lie. Jason took it upon himself to cut it and do what he referred to as cute cut.. Cute is for toddlers, my son is 16. Plan on talking to the manager for a refund because my son thinks it would be better to just buzz cut it all off because it’s the absolute worst haircut he has ever received. People like Jason who don’t listen to their customers has no business cutting hair!

I'm sorry to hear your son was unhappy with his haircut. While pictures are helpful, each person's hair and head shape may vary from the picture and results may differ. My understanding is your stylist did indicate it maybe shorter if the picture was the style he wanted. Regardless, a manager will be in touch to see how we can resolve your concerns. We will certainly speak to his stylist to see how they can improve their service to prevent issues in the future. Our aim is always happy customers.

Fantastic experience: Ken did great and left me with a new style that I enjoy. It was time to switch it up from Great Clips and I'll definitely be going back here. The atmosphere was friendly and professional. It's been a few days and I still feel great about the cut.

Hayes Clayton Published on Google 4 months ago

John Houghtling Published on Google 5 months ago

Fantastic experience: First time visit. Online appointment was easy. I needed advice on a hair style as was not happy with previous cuts. My stylist did an amazing job and I am quite happy with results. I felt a bit spoiled with facial hot towel during wash and shampoo and the shoulder massage tool. All included in the price. Highly recommend!

Katelyn Published on Google 5 months ago

Fantastic experience: Kenneth did an amazing job on my boyfriend‘s hair and we won’t look anywhere else! He’s very personable and helps you find the perfect hair cut according to what suits YOU and how to style it properly with care without breaking the bank. We will definitely be back. :)

Tales of Time Published on Google 5 months ago

Matthew Bailey Published on Google 6 months ago

Negative experience: $20 for a beard trim that wasn't even 5 minutes is kinda insane. And the lowest tip option presented when you pay EIGHT DOLLARS!!! Yeah no thanks

The Guys Place A Hair Salon for Men
The Guys Place A Hair Salon for Men

All our prices are stated on our website. There are different beard trim options there. The variety of tools used does affect price. We do have some stylists who are absolute wizards at what they do. Remember- A longer time does not automatically equal better grooming. It’s an about skill. Regarding the tip options, we always present suggested tips (most folks are getting a haircut at a higher price) and an OTHER option so anyone change their tip amount to whatever they feel is appropriate.

Bill Gautier Published on Google 8 months ago

B H Published on Google 11 months ago

Fantastic experience: No wait after scheduling my appointment online, which is how it should be. Scissor cuts with long hair are hit and miss, but this was one of the best haircuts I've gotten. Quick too. They knew what I needed better than I did!

Douglas Hopkins Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I have thin ultra straight hair and the hairstylist, Fern, provided excellent cut for the first time that I’ve gone to her. A bit on the expensive side (32+ tip) but not unreasonable.

Dylan Thomson Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Love this place. Great haircut at a reasonable price. Plus little touches of luxury make the entire experience fantastic. And Melissa specifically is amazing!

Alison McKinney Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Loved our experience with CC! My son is 5 and she did a great stylist cut that made him happy

Rob Perry Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Ora is awesome. Great with fades and her scissor work is top notch. Very detailed and consistently good with my cuts.

Michael Murphy Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I’d been shaving and buzzing my hair for awhile but wanted to grow back some length. I went in to help clean it up and get it looking nicer during this awkward phase. Got exactly what I needed and more than expected. Worth the money for sure.

Chris Rice Published on Google 1 year ago

Negative experience: $42 for a kids haircut when the site said $32? That's wild. Haircut was okay but not for the price Edited: unfortunately I wasn't at the appt with my son but my wife said the upcharge was for a fade on the side. The fade is wildly uneven and so is the rest of the haircut.

The Guys Place A Hair Salon for Men
The Guys Place A Hair Salon for Men

From the manager on duty: I remember that service. There was a mom there with him, and she stood at the station ,and kind of hoovered over their stylist as she was cutting his hair. As they were checking out, I did not see any discontent or frazzled feelings about the haircut, they seemed to be cool with the haircut, they paid, tipped well and left. I really do not know what the problem was. All that said, we guarantee a great haircut if you now are unhappy with the haircut simply contact a manager at the shop and return within 7 days of the original haircut and we are happy to fix it to your liking.

Blake Dennis Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: This was my first time here and definitely the best hair style I've ever received. Jess was very precise on my fade and got my entire hairstyle the best I could have ever asked for. I will definitely be returning here from now on. Jess is the real deal.

Joos Welter Published on Google 1 year ago

Positive experience: They did a good job on my hair cut, the hair dresser was really nice and the hot towel felt amazing too. Maybe a little bit expensive

Nicholas Williamson Published on Google 1 year ago

Negative experience: This place used to be great. I have gotten my hair cut and ear, nose, and eyebrows waxed here many times. But they hardly ever have anyone here when I need a waxing, always seem busy over the phone. However, when I show up in person, they don't ever have anyone in here. But they never seem to have anyone to do waxing.

The Guys Place A Hair Salon for Men
The Guys Place A Hair Salon for Men

Hello Nicholas, We sincerely apologize for inconvenience! We have moved to a more appointment based shop versus a walk-in shops over the past few years. That means customers should be service more quickly and less folks waiting around. Covid had an affect on that as well and waxing. We didn't offer it for a long time because of no mask. We are working to train additional staff on waxing. We appreciate your business a member of management will reach out to you directly.

Hill Brooks Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: WOWWW… JUST WOW. I decided to spend a little bit more on a better haircut then my typical sports clips cut. And boy am I happy I chose too. I did the Trademark cut and got Christina who I would HIGHLY recommend, she is a master of the art. She was just so pleasant to be around. She cut my hair perfectly and on point. Sure it may be a little bit more pricey but It was totally worth it, at least for me. I got everything I wanted and MORE! Even a free beer. What more can I ask for from my hair cutting place! I will be back!!!

abdenour naili Published on Google 1 year ago

Negative experience: Terrible Experience! It was my first time visiting this place after seeing all the good reviews. I checked their website to see if they accept walk-ins and to find out how much they charge for a haircut. The price was listed as $25 for card payments and $24 for cash. Upon arrival, however, the price advertised in the store was $32. I thought, "Yeah, that’s normal with this economy; prices have gone up." When the stylist asked how I wanted my hair, I explained and showed her a picture (above), asking for the exact haircut. You can see what I got in the picture above. At checkout, she charged me $42! I didn’t want to ask or argue because I was so disappointed with the haircut. I did respond to their text survey and told them about the price discrepancy. I just checked their website, and they have removed the pricing. I think I will press charges for fraud.

The Guys Place A Hair Salon for Men
The Guys Place A Hair Salon for Men

Overall, it is clear this customer was upset about not realizing the correct price more than anything. Our pricing is CLEARLY posted online, where 65% of clients book their appointments, as well as in the lobby of every shop. These same signs clearly state a fade is more than regular haircut as they take additional time to execute. No sneaky business on our part. We received his review and also check and could not find that price ANYWHERE. All we could guess he was looking at service times for regular haircuts? All pricing is correctly stated as he noted. We didn't change anything. It was always correct!

Tim Houlihan Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: First time in and I'll be back! It was easy to book online and they were very professional as I walked it and got settled! Great team!

Steven Paxton Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Easy scheduling online, stylist was very quick in a good way, seemed to take about half the time compared to previous places. And the most important part the wife was happy with how my hair looked afterwards.

Dave Simcox Published on Google 1 year ago

Negative experience: First off the haircut was great. The issue is the rude, condescending attitude of the woman at the reception desk. Very impolite. Did not greet me when I came in. About ten minutes later she called out to me asking if I had an appointment. I answered I did. She then just rudely waved me over. I learned the person was the manager of the location. I learned this because one of the stylists came over to me to apologize for the “managers” behavior.

Our aim is always a 5-star experience for every customer. We will certainly look into this matter. Thanks for bringing it to our attentions.

Ronald Doria Published on Google 1 year ago

Negative experience: If you need a haircut that requires any type of depth please avoid. In response to owner: I would rather not repeat as a customer to a business that directly went against directions given by me verbally and visually, just for the sake of taking a shot at having a better experience. It says a lot about you as a business when your first reaction to a negative review is to blame the customer for it. Thanks for the offer to fix it, but you cannot fix a cut that is incredibly shorter than what was requested, unless you have a state of the art growth acceleration product that I haven’t heard of.

The Guys Place A Hair Salon for Men

Amazed when I hear folks post reviews like this:
First, we GUARANTEE a great haircut. Simply return within 7 days of your cut and we will make it right. Second, communication is king with any service professional - doctor, dentist, hair stylist - they can't help you well if you fail to communicate clearly what is needed. Third, every one of our locations has more than one stylist. Don't judge ALL based one experience with one stylist. And finally, please know we CARE. We care about you and your experience. We regularly train our staff in the latest styles, skills and techniques to ensure your satisfaction.

AL O Published on Google 1 year ago

Positive experience: Call in and try to get an appointment the same day. Otherwise, you will have to schedule for the next day through the website. The sign in process is annoying just to get a haircut. Prices keep going up, but, it is Cary, so, what can you do??

David Williams Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: First time going here for a haircut/beard trim. For me I’m always nervous getting my haircut by a new barber/stylist because it can be a little awkward if you don’t already know them due to the fact that they’re in your personal space and also because me, myself, I’m a nervous/awkward person in general. Rebecca was my barber/stylist and she was fantastic! The experience was not at all awkward as she was very friendly and great to talk too! Will definitely go back!

Dalton Crawford Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: This was my first time going to a barber in years and can say that was the best time I ever had the staff was wonderful and kind I’m not from the area but the next time I’m out this way I will definitely be back

Duncan McGregor Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I was a first time walk-in here. I was greeted quickly and pleasantly. A short time later they said I would have to make an appointment and the next one was at 4:00 o’clock. I said today and she said yes. This was at 20 minutes to 4:00 and I said sign me up. I found this to be very nice but humerous as well. I returned at 4:00 and was immediately introduced to Lindsey. She asked how I wanted my haircut and immediately went to work. She did a fantastic job in no time at all. We chatted and laughed throughout the entire process. It was a pleasant, timely and well done haircut experience. They are my go to place from now on.

Steven DeYoung Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: My wife and I had a wonderful time with Stephanie. I went from having 15+ in length hair to having a skin fade. I was very apprehensive, but Steph made the event very pleasant and went the extra mile of helping us to be able to donate my hair. Wonderful experience. Have every intention of returning in the future.

Dave Cannon Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Jess was wonderful! From start to finish! It can be difficult to find a stylist who cares and who takes the time to do the job right like Jess. She takes pride in her work and is very good at what she does. I look forward to the next visit

Austin Flint Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Rebecca was great! I was very happy with the haircut. She cut off my mid to long hair down to a modern pompadour style and I was impressed with the time it took and the cost. I will come back for sure.

Jeff Hughs Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Really good service from Thalia on my beard trim! She didn't just do a cookie cutter job, but asked me throughout about specifics like what to do with sideburns, middle vs sides of my moustache, etc.

Karen Allen Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: My son went in for a full service haircut and was very pleased. The hairdresser was very fast and she gave him an excellent haircut. He had specific desires for the haircut and she really listened to what he wanted. Highly recommend!

Cameron Sopsko Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming to Jess for a while now. She is great! Great with conversation while she is cutting your hair, funny and does a fantastic job.

John Honey Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Excellent availability. Friendly staff. I really enjoyed the individual, walled off stations and that the wash was included in the haircut. The coffee machine in the lobby was a nice bonus too

Hi Daniel, First off thank you for your business! We appreciate it! Secondly, I'm sorry to hear you were disappointed with your recent haircut. Please call back and ask to speak with one of the managers - CC or Jessica - and they would be love to fix to your liking. Our aim is always happy customers.

Rafael Otero Published on Google 2 years ago

Negative experience: I showed up to my appt 8 minutes late, I admit I was late. Received a call while I was getting out of my car about my missed appt. I informed her I was in the parking lot but I understood if they couldn't see me. Her response was "well you are late, I'll check with the stylist".... but I didn't care for the attitude, she literally sounded like the girl from Madea's movie screaming "Byrrrrooooonnnnn".... so I politely said thanks but no thanks. I wanted to relax but that didn't seem like it would be possible. Anyway, I felt bad that the stylist went without an appointment. Generally speaking, it appears this spot gets good reviews, but the customer service from the lady that called was atrocious. Best of luck and Happy New Year!

The Guys Place A Hair Salon for Men

We remind customers again and again about our late policy and importance of being on time and ideally arriving EARLY. It’s in our confirmation emails. It’s in our text messages. It’s in our reminder emails. All we ask is you respect others time and when something crazy happens and you will be late or need to cancel, please be considerate and call us. We had lovely gentlemen client contact us just this week because he could not make it due to Covid and didn’t want to get others sick so he rescheduled for 2 weeks later. THOSE are the customers we LOVE!! Be that guy. Rise above and be a better human. Knock off the 1-star slams because you didn’t feel relaxed. No one is perfect. Our staff are not either, but if we all try to be better. That’s a GOOD thing! Those the customers we want to FILL our chairs with!!

Reuben Moore Published on Google 2 years ago

Negative experience: I gave a 5-star rating a month ago, today it's one star. Checked in for my 3 o'clock appointment, I was weakly acknowledged by the designated check-in person (they seem to rotate). The person I was scheduled with called two others after my appointment time, no one told me that she was behind or that the appointment app wasn't working. They took no responsibility for the appointment ("it's a third party app"). I will not patronize a business that can't get the customer service piece right. All they had to say was, whoops, there's a double booking. Friendly, capable stylists, able to make reservation HAVE TO TAKE THIS BACK or walk in, nice having the hair wash included.

Morgan Williams Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Lindsay was so sweet and patient with our son. He went in a little boy came out looking like a preteen. Thank you so much. Lindsay we will be back soon.

Fantastic experience: I recently went to Guy's Place and was thoroughly impressed. The staff was welcoming, and Thania gave me a perfect haircut. The salon was clean with a professional feel. Thania was attentive and genuine in understanding my style. Can't wait to return!

Mike Kaiser Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I was very impressed with my first visit to Guy's Place. The staff was very courteous and Lonnie did an excellent job with my hair. They offered many other services such as shaves, eye brow trimming etc. I didn't try any of those this time. The place is very clean and the atmosphere very professional. I will be going back.

Juan Castaneda Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I had an awesome experience at the guys place hair salon. My haircut looked great and everything that came with the haircut was wonderful! The stylist who cut my hair was very friendly and down to earth and was very attentive towards what I wanted to do with my hair. I can't say enough good things!

Justin Van Winkle Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I've been going to the Cary Guy's Place for the past three years I've lived down here. Always have had a good/great experience (say a 7 or 8 out of 10), but today Rebecca blew my socks off. 10/10. She is polite, personable, and professional. I've always viewed haircuts as a necessary evil, but today Rebecca made me look forward to my next haircut.

Josh Bailey Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Discovered this place by accident today trying to find somewhere that stayed open later and was very impressed! Thalia was amazing and did a great job. Not only proficient and quick but she was also very friendly and made it a great experience! Will definitely return to this location because of her.

Patrick Harbolick Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Heather was great to work with! I was seeking hair care services in the area and The Guys Place delivered. Easy to book online, check-in was quick, and working with a talented stylist like Heather made for a great experience. Will definitely be returning and recommend their services to guys looking for a place to get their hair cut, washed, and waxed.

Keith Ethridge Published on Google 3 years ago

Negative experience: I went there today for the first time and the last. I went in and showed a pic of what I wanted needless to say I didn’t get what I wanted. Then when I got back to the home I realized that the fade wasn’t faded all the way. Fast forward a few hours later, I notice that Thalia missed 2 patches of long hair around my left ear but the right ear was cut right. I do not recommend for $40.

Fantastic experience: From starting to end it was great. I was received at reception for a check in with a big smile. And Heather did my hair cut, she was a pro. I told her what i wanted , she made some adjustments to make it look good on me. I loved the trim and the cut.

Greg Pock Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I absolutely loved my experience. Heather was very thorough and gave me one of the best haircuts I've ever had. She really listened to my needs and took the time to make sure she gave me the best possible haircut. I will definitely be coming back.

Jason Claunch Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I booked an appointment with Rebecca a few months ago and she did a fantastic job. My previous barber made some pretty huge mistakes but Rebecca fixed everything and had great manners. The whole experience with Rebecca and the person at the front desk was great from start to finish. Thanks y’all!

H Grube Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Been going to the guys place for years. Tried all of their competitors. The guys place is the best of all! And the Dillard Road in Cary, North Carolina, is the best so far with friendly and skilled staff. All of the other locations are very good also. Never been disappointed yet. I am an easy customer. I don’t have much hair but what little I do have they do a great job with it!

sabari nathan Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I had a great experience. Rebecca was great and love my cut. This is my third time using them and having Rebecca cut my hair and from being greeted as soon as I walk in to being taken back in a timely fashion and having a great cut, just perfect !!

Roy Etheridge Published on Google 3 years ago

Positive experience: My two boys and I have been getting cuts from TGP since it first opened and was called the barbershop I think. The staff have almost always been friendly and remain so. However, when Eneyda left, we've struggled to find a stylist that is as personable and skilled as her. She always seemed to enjoy her work and fully invest in our customer experience. The fact that she was a stellar stylist that always provided a great product was icing. TGP extras like the wash and dry and massages feel more "begrudginely delivered" these days (when delivered at all). The three stars indicate the service remains fine and the people pleasant but something was lost for the etheridge boys when eneyda left.

Hello Roy! Thanks for your business. Unfortunately, the cosmetology field has a fairly high turn over rate. Historically the field over has a 30% or more. That said, our aim is always to retain, recruit and train the best hair stylists in the business.

Fantastic experience: This is my go to place for haircuts. For $25 you get a haircut, neck massage, hot towel, beard trim and shampoo. If that's not a deal then I don't know what is. On top of that they do a great job of cutting your hair too! What else could a guy want @ The Guys Place? Would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: My first experience with The Guys' Place was at a different location and, while the stylist was good, the front desk person was rude and the whole appointment seemed very rushed. I tried again and came to the Cary location. Everyone was nice and professional, but I still feel like they book clients too close together and end up rushed or behind a lot. Even so, they seem to manage that much better at this location. And I'm still giving five stars, regardless of any other factors, because Rebecca is absolutely awesome! My haircuts have been pleasant experiences and the results are great. I always get the neck shave, too, which is a nice, added touch. I will continue to be a client!

Fantastic experience: First visit with Melissa. We thoroughly reviewed my hair and formed a plan for todays cut. She checked her progress with me and I gave feedback which was followed well.The result was a very satisfied customer.

Negative experience: I have anxiety, so that may have been a barrier to my having a better experience. I should have communicated the problems I had with my stylist in the moment. The haircut turned out very bad because I did not have clean hair. I wash my hair every other day, and I thought the full service haircut came with a hair wash (it was not brought up, so I guess full service does not come with a hair wash just fyi for anyone else who thought this). Otherwise, I would have washed my hair before the appointment. My stylist would have had a much better idea of what to do with my hair if I came in with it looking like it normally does. My stylist was not friendly, but maybe she was having a bad day or did not like me for some reason, I do not know. I felt like I was more of a burden than a client, which I feel bad for. I should have said more and had a better idea of what I wanted. I just had not had my hair cut in so long because my anxiety disorder is a huge hurdle for me. Also my hair not being clean like it usually is made it difficult to assess the cut at the moment. The experience was overwhelming and I did not feel welcome there, so I will not be returning to this salon to get my hair fixed.

I appreciate your honesty. However, you need to also put yourself in our stylist's shoes. Our stylists also feel very uncomfortable when a client comes in with dirty hair plus not even combed to how it normally would look. They are not trained as CNAs but Cosmetologists. Please realize it is very rare to have a customer come in with dirty and messy hair. It has happened over our 10+ years, but it definitely would throw a stylist off their "A game" and one should not expect them to be super friendly when presented with such an abnormal service that would certainly mean lots of extra work to get the hair to the point of cuttable.

Negative experience: Great when I have a stylist assigned other than Andrew, I have booked appointments with the “first available” and he without fail never shows up for my appointment. Called 5 minutes before my appointment this morning to be told he would be late, again.

Sorry for your frustration! Stylists with excessive absenteeism will not be retained. We understand your time is valuable.

Positive experience: This was my first time, and overall it was a good experience. The stylist was nice and conversational, and she gave a great haircut and gray blend. My only issue upon reviewing the services that were supposed to be provided, is that I didn't receive an eyebrow trim or vibrating shoulder massage. I didn't realize these were included until I went to write this review. All in all it was a good experience, but I would make sure to ask for the eyebrow trim and shoulder massage during my next visit.

Thanks Scott!

Fantastic experience: What a wonderful experience! Not only does this haircut come with fine amenities (hot cloth, hair-wash, quick massage at the end), but the staff is extremely attentive, kind, and you'll get one of the best haircuts in town. CC took care of me and she was just a delight! I won't go anywhere else (especially not Great Clips!).

Dylan Cramer Published on Google 3 years ago

Positive experience: Been here multiple times. It can go either way. I'm overall pleased with the place even though I've had some undesired experiences. I was loudly shamed one time since my son's hair had a little dirt in it. He's 7, he plays hard even right before getting his hair cut. I've waited 20+ minutes past my appointment. But - the stylists there are good. Sometimes they get behind. Eneyda is awesome - I'll request her when I return.

Thanks for your review. We do encourage customers to book appointments with the stylist they connect with and enjoy most. We see to hire and retain professional stylists and dirty hair is certainly not common and can make them feel uncomfortable, frustrated and possibly even a bit disrespected. We extend our apologies if you felt shamed. That is not how we expect our staff to treat any customer.

Fantastic experience: Heather is my stylist to recommend, I have had a Marine Corp medium reg haircut for 24 years and after moving near here 2 years ago I have been searching for someone who could do it right. I found her!!! Heather is awesome; gets the fade straight and even, trims the top to keep it neat and uniform, and the razor neck shave with the hot towels is worth every penny. She is also a great conversationalist with diverse interests and a calm soothing voice, very relaxing. If there were a way to give her more stars I would.

Fantastic experience: First time here and I will be back again. If you go to Sports Clips, this place is better. The staff seems more knowledgeable and the setup (nice cubicals) made me feel like my stylist stayed focused on my hair the whole time. The cut was only 25$ before tip (please tip) and that included shampoo and a back massage with a gun. Very happy with my results, will reccomend this location going forward. Come to cary though, the Raleigh location seems to have inconsistent reviews.

Fantastic experience: Andrew was a phenomenal barber with an amazing personality! I had neglected my hair for a couple weeks and he made my mop look higher than quality can get. I highly suggest this barder shop! Ask for Andrew!! You won't be disappointed!

Fantastic experience: Took my dad and son in for haircuts at the Cary location. This was my son's first straight razor shave and was in preparation for Prom. They did an amazing job with both of the, and C.C. was so great on making him ready for the big event.

Steven Seay Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I came in this morning and was immediately greeted by Kiara. I asked if she could take a walk-in for a quick beard trim and set me up right away! Jess, hit a home run! She was very professional, skilled and conversational. My beard never looked better! I will definitely be back!

Gretchen D Published on Google 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: This location in Cary is so much better than the Apex one. We left the Apex location the day before after “checking in” 10 minutes before the appointment. We waited 20 minutes after the appointment time. Other customers came in and were seen. We were ignored. I inquired after the wait and was told we never checked in. I went back to the specific stylist that said she checked us in, and she looked at me and said she didn’t remember. What?! It’s poorly run. The Cary location greeted us when we arrived, promptly took care of us, and was such a better experience!!

Sara Anderson Published on Google 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great service. Very friendly, competent, professional. Fast, neat haircuts with other grooming options available. They’ll even wash your hair as part of the haircut service. Maybe a tad more expensive than a basic haircut barbershop, but well worth it. You can call ahead and make an appointment, or try walk-in, but I always make an appointment, because then they’re waiting for me and it just works so well.

Rose Pyle Published on Google 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Took my son to Apex and it was a horrible experience so figured I would attempt to go to a different Guys Place to give them another chance. Deborah gave my son the best hair cut he has ever had. So pleased and we will definitely be making the Cary location our new go to place. Thanks so much!!

Positive experience: Haven't been here in a while, the place is really nice and clean. Cassie took haircut to a creative and awesome look, good for my age. My appointment went well and I am pleased with the haircut.

Phillip Jones Published on Google 4 years ago

Negative experience: I have been going to this place for over a year now and have used a few different stylists. I really haven't had any problem with the service until today. I called at 10:17am and 10:18am this morning to see about making an appointment for my haircut. Both times the phone just rang and rang. I figured I would just call later since maybe they had modified hours today. I called again at 11:18am and 11:20am and once more, it rang and rang. My girlfriend and I were going to that area anyway so we drove there to see about my haircut. I got up to the door and see that the lady running the front desk was sitting down in the waiting area, on the phone and with airpods visibly in her ears. No other customers were waiting in that area and upon approaching the counter, she asked if she could help me. I stated that I was interested in a haircut. I also mention that I had trouble getting through on the phone today for which she and another lady nearby that presumably is a hair stylist, both stated that the phones had been working. I shrugged and just reiterated that I called and wanted them to have that feedback, for what it's worth. But interestingly enough, it very much felt like they were trying to say that I was lying. Again, I wasn't mad, just giving that feedback. The nearby hair stylist was even questioning what number I called and that it's on google, as well as the ability of making appointments online. I have tried before to make appointments online but at that time, it wasn't really working. But great, glad it's now working again. I didn't want to further the conversation with her so I told the lady at the counter that I'd like to get my hair cut. She then tells me that it wouldn't be until at least 2:30 now. Hmm...really? This was at 11:30 by now and the place was dead enough for her to be sitting down and 2 hair stylists to come up to the front, obviously not working with anyone. To sum this up, I was able to go down the street and get my haircut with great professionalism, service and a great cut. You allowed me the opportunity to go to a competitor and now will never go back to your business. That might not mean anything to you, but it does to me and now I'll spend my money somewhere where it seems to matter.

Sorry to hear you were disappointed in your experience. We appreciate your feedback. I know our staff and I really doubt they were saying you were lying but trying to understand if there was a phone issue and weren’t aware of it. I’m sorry to hear you felt that way. Also, it’s important to note we operate on an appointment basis. This means walk ins are booked an appointment time slot just like online bookings or phone bookings. Just because at that moment in time stylists were not cutting doesn’t mean they were not waiting on appointments to arrive. Finally, ear buds should not be used unless a staff member is on break. We will be sure to address that. Thanks again for your past business and this feedback. We wish you only the best.

Positive experience: A warm and friendly place to get a haircut. But I don’t feel it is worth the price you pay. The haircut was just average. The massage gun service that comes with the haircut is just a business strategy. Although hot towels are a pleasure. I don’t think I’ll be going back.

We always aim for a 5 star experience for every customer. However, If all you want is a cheap cut there are certainly other options to choose from. They usually hire anyone who has a license. We instead aim to hire the best stylists in the business, pay them well and ideally customer tip them well too! On top of that we back it all up with a guaranteed great haircut. Have an issue? Please speak with a manager and we will make it right!
