V's Barbershop Tempe at the Watermark: Reviews
Fantastic experience: First time at V’s and will definitely be coming back. Hab did an amazing job on my son’s hair (typical straight, thick Asian hair) and he’s loving it!
Fantastic experience: Caesar looked at a photo of the cut that my son wanted and proceeded to cut my son's hair precisely the way it looked in the photo. Excellent!
Fantastic experience: Cesar was my barber. It was my first full service shave experience, great time. Very chill. Get the straight razor after a hot towel was refreshing.
Fantastic experience: Went for my first time today and I got my haircut from Ceasar, super chill guy and gave me my best cut I’ve ever had! Super friendly and I’ll def be seeing him again for my next cut!
Fantastic experience: I've been going to V's for 5 years and Cesar has always been my #1 Barber. He's great with understanding what you want as a customer while also providing suggestions and guidance on what makes each person look their best. With Cesar I've never had a bad experience and have always left the shop feeling confident! The shop itself has a great variety of products and has an authentic feel to it. Would highly recommend this location!
Fantastic experience: Cesar knows how to show a new customer how it's done. 5 stars
Positive experience: Got a good cut there by Sergio A. I let him know I wanted a fade on the back and into my beard and just to clean up the top and he did a great job. I had to style my own hair cause I like it a certain way but a solid cut regardless.
Fantastic experience: Doe is the best barber I’ve had in my life. A true craftsman
Fantastic experience: I came in all grown out looking like a caveman. My dude Hab stepped up to the challenge and got me looking fresh again; making me feel like a million bucks walking out. Hab did things I didn't even know I needed done. For instance, he touched up my bushy eyebrows and exfoliated my skin before a straight razor shave. I'm very picky with my barber shops and V's made me excited to find my new home here in Tempe. See y'all in a few weeks!
Fantastic experience: My first time at this location and Axel did a great job!
Fantastic experience: Doe has been my barber for 2 years. Awesome fades and good dude good energy at Vs Tempe
Fantastic experience: Hab is a great barber. Enjoy this shop from the atmosphere to the cut, it’s all great.
Fantastic experience: By far the best haircuts I’ve gotten in Arizona. I’m a regular of Big Surge and he has been on point for years now. You know he’s good at what he does because without an appointment you won’t be able to just walk in.
Fantastic experience: Not only is Big Surge a great barber doing my scissor cut, he’s a great guy and runs an awesome shop. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Doe is 1 in a million. Best haircut and shave I’ve had in 30 years. If you want a good haircut or a good shave from a person with a great personality Doe is your man.
Fantastic experience: I had the best haircut by Doe! He did a great job, i'll be back.
Fantastic experience: First time customer. Best skin fade I've had in a long time Hab killed it! Definitely recommend
Fantastic experience: Excellent barbershop. Would come back if I am in the area
Fantastic experience: Doe is awesome always good 100% recommend this place and him.
Fantastic experience: Big Surg is great with my 13 year old son
Fantastic experience: Big Surge is the best barber I’ve ever had. I came in 5 years ago not knowing any thing about the terminology and had trouble asking for what I wanted. He helped me through everything and told me everything I should know for the future. Been coming back to him ever since and has never let me down. Great place and even better staff. Could not recommend this place enough
Fantastic experience: As a guy with long hair, it shouldn't come as a shock that I have trust issues with barbers. After years of horrific experiences around the valley, I gave this V's Barbershop a shot and met Cesar. To call Cesar an "excellent barber" is a huge understatement. His consistency, charm and knack to remember even my smallest of preferences to how I like my trims is impressive and keeps me coming back every month. His experience and skill far exceed my expectations and the compliments I receive are proof of that. After nearly a year of getting my hair cut here, my partner now asks me, "are you going to see Cesar soon?" If that isn't the sign of a great barber, I don't know what is. This location is clean and convenient. Prices are fair. They're flexible with scheduling. And they have Cesar.
Fantastic experience: Always good work done when I come here. Had Dough this time, took his time to make sure the lines were perfect. Have had Sergio before as well, same level of quality from him. Good shop.
Fantastic experience: Amy does a great job on cutting my hair, she listens to exacly what I want.
Fantastic experience: My baber was big surg he did a great job
Fantastic experience: Got a fantastic haircut from Doe! Very quick and easy haircut experience
Fantastic experience: HAB is the main man here - I got the best cut of my life and had a blast talking with everyone about sports! They’ve got monitors with sports everywhere - just a great place!
Fantastic experience: Barber was professional and knew what he was doing. He fixed my bad cut from another Barber shop, highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Doe was great. Did what I asked him to do and did it well
Negative experience: Don not go here if you value your time. I waited 45 minutes for a scheduled hair cut and finally had to walk out because I had other appointments to attend.
Fantastic experience: Ceasar is the best! I’m glad I found him when I moved to Arizona two years ago. There’s no one else I trust to cut my hair. I moved farther away, but still insist on making the drive to get my hair cut by him.
Fantastic experience: Adrian is great. Listens to what you are looking for and the end result is always perfect.
Fantastic experience: Axle is amazing at his skill and provides a well appreciated service.
Fantastic experience: Caesar did a great job of fixing a bad haircut I received recently. Thank you again man!
Fantastic experience: Very nice location, clean and well-kept. Hab is an awesome barber so definitely try to book with him if possible.
Fantastic experience: Big Surgio always takes his time and pays attention to detail while cutting my hair. Thank you for a job well done.
Fantastic experience: Though I was a new customer and hadn't had a cut in awhile, Doe took his time and gave me an excellent cut! I highly recommend !
Fantastic experience: Cleanest cut I’ve ever had, hair & beard combo. Shout out to Harv!!
Fantastic experience: First timer at V’s. Amy did an awesome job where she got me the haircut I was exactly looking for. The staff is great, friendly and helpful. I’d recommend this to any anyone whether you live in town or on a trip.
Negative experience: They butchered my hair, ignored the photos I showed them, and just started chopping off the top hair on my head without even asking how much I wanted off the top, the side skim fade I wanted with the V taper in the back that I even showed pictures of just looks like a sportsclips haircut I could have gotten for $12, and they even took my natural part I have on the left side of my head that they can clearly see and just buzzed everything on both sides and shifted the whole part over, I had my appointment scheduled at 6:30 and they close at 7 I think the guy was just trying to get me out of there and everyone else except for the cleaning lady was gone, so it seems like he was half-assing my hair cut so he could go home, but I was on time to my appointment and the website offered that time, why offer it if it's an inconvenient time to start at? I don't understand, I tipped $15 to be courteous, because I didn't get the best look at it until I got home, but when I got home my heart absolutely shrank and all my confidence went out the window and I have an interview next week and now I have hair like I'm a 10 year old boy who got his haircut from sportsclips, I have no idea what the guys name was but I know he was to the first station left of the door as soon as you walk in. Normally I get my haircut from the barber there named Axel who always does an amazing job, but this visit I forgot to book it with him and I am so sad now that I didn't because I am SOOOOO disappointed with this hair cut and I will NEVER go back there again, The day this happend was. . . April 28th 2025
Negative experience: Been siting waiting for an appointment I scheduled at 2:45 it’s already 30mins later. And I’m still sitting here. There are time slots for 3,3:15 and so on so why make it an option especially considering there’s been 2 walk ins that got in a chair before me. Not sure about anyone else but I scheduled it so I WASNT wasting all day waiting around.
Positive experience: V’s is a great shop. Staff is always friendly, courteous, & professional. Unfortunately, I will not be returning to this location because of the property mgmt and ownership on the watermark complex. I recurse to pay for parking when I’m patronizing the on site businesses. Especially when they have blocked off the free handicapped spots. I’m a disabled senior. This is unacceptable. I addition I was double charged for my parking. I’m so sorry for V’s. They deserve better property management.
Fantastic experience: My son got a low taper fade and it was exactly how he wanted with a tiny trim on top. He is very very picky so to get what he wants he loves that. We typically go to a barber near southern and extension and always have a looooong wait, but this place made it easy to make an appointment online and they stuck to the time. Thanks so much!
Fantastic experience: The place is a good vibe and the barbers are friendly! Very fair prices and a very good cut! Doe cut my hair and did a great job.
Fantastic experience: Great environment, very polite barbers and very good at there craft! I would recommend Axel for a great haircut and for his experience!
Fantastic experience: Amy the hair cut is amazing!! I’ve gotten compliments from every one at work! Thank you! I’ll see ya in a couple weeks!
Fantastic experience: Axel was my stylist and as always he did an exceptional job and is always attentive to what I want and a blast to converse with. Best shop I have been to and will continue to come back.
Fantastic experience: Scrolling through Reviews in Google drew my attention ti o V’s Barbershop. So, scheduled an appointment and went there. Cesar was my barber that day! I can truly recommend that place, they pay close attention to what you want and the service is excellent. I am really happy with the haircut! And the Tonic (aftershave) just smells perfect. And I can truly recommend Cesar as your Barber of Choice! He is a great guy!
Fantastic experience: V's Barber shop is my all time reliable spot. I'd trust anyone in there with clippers. Cuts are always clean, quick, and fair priced. They can give you a good rec on style. They got good convo, or all business, and the music is never missing. They even do that luxury scented towels, and massage at the end. S/o Caesar
Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere. Very professional shop. Best cut in AZ. Highly recommend.
Negative experience: I just wanted a little trimmed, however, i had too much taken off the top to where my haircut in general looked bad, my appointment was at 5:30, and I waited till 5:50 to sit down and finally start getting cut.
Fantastic experience: Amy was phenomenal. Not only did I get a superb haircut,l and a stimulating conversation, I was left some knowledge and education to make improvements on my scalp. Hands down one of the best experiences I've had with getting my haircut. Highly recommend and encourage to book with Amy.
Fantastic experience: Cut and beard line up were top notch. Doe has clearly been cutting for a long time, one of the best cuts I’ve gotten out here since my last barber retired last year.
Fantastic experience: Awesome barbershop, Doe is the man, cleaned me up. Super crispy. Highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: Amy was wonderful with my elderly relative. She gave him a great haircut and hot leather shave! He absolutely LOVED all of it!
Fantastic experience: Awesome experience and great job, attention to detail was fabulous! I would highly recommend this establishment to anyone in need of an awesome haircut!
Fantastic experience: Had a great cut from Axel. Knew exactly what he was doing and super easy to talk to. Great barber shop, new regular place for sure.
Fantastic experience: The best in Tempe! who are still maintaining the HIGH! quality and the most accurate pricing for the cuts. (Which makes them even more special, hoping they maintain the same price point, quality & touch)
Fantastic experience: Cesar always does a great job! Great service and knows how to treat his customers well. Been coming for a while and never had a bad experience.
Fantastic experience: Doe!!! Is just FABULOUS!!! It’s only my second time!! But he’s so spot on!! Ask a few questions and made sure my first was too my liking my second time around!! I’m locked in Monthly!!
Fantastic experience: My stylist Do (not sure of the spelling) was courteous, clean, efficient, and he listened well to what I wanted in a haircut. This was the first time in V's, but not my last. See you next month.
Fantastic experience: Big Surge did an awesome job on giving me a clean mid fade and a trim worked at a quick but efficient pace and was great to converse with, also was a great vibe inside the shop, would highly recommend great price great service!
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend getting Doe as your barber. Does great cuts and listens intently to make sure he covers the small details. Beyond the cut, he’s an all around cool guy to have a conversation with
Fantastic experience: High fade cut 33$ best in valley imo. I've sat with over 20 barbers in Phoenix and Axel does one of the best high fade cuts I've had. Close attention to detail, very sharp eye, great at reading when you want to talk and when you want to chill, and an excellent neck massage at the end if he doesn't have any customers behind you. Can't recommend enough.
Negative experience: I have booked appointments twice, and on both occasions, they have failed to honor the scheduled time. I was asked to arrive an hour early and then made to wait an additional 30 minutes. No estimate was provided for the wait time.
Fantastic experience: Axel is one of the best ones to go to. Sharp lines, exactly what was asked for and more! He will not let you down
Negative experience: Showed up at 8:55am for my 9:00am appointment, no one there and lights off. Lady walked up at 9:02am and unlocked door and walked in. I gave her a few minutes to turn the lights on and get open. I walked in and said my name and that my appointment is for 9:00am. She asked me to take a seat and they would be right with me. 9:15am - yelling from across the entire place "would you like to wait for your preferred barber or would you like to come back right now?" By now - I have zero confidence in her ability to do anything, so I politely decline and am headed to THE BOARDROOM. Thanks.
Fantastic experience: My first experience with V's was a great one. After years of going to a "salon" for a quick cut, I thought I'd do something different. I loved the masculine feel when I entered the shop. Leather, brick, sports on TV, good music. My stylist, Amy, was very good. The best was yet to come, though. Amy brought out the hot towel for my face and neck. Then, I got a shoulder and neck massage for about 2 minutes. Wow, you had me at hello... I left feeling and looking great. I will certainly go back.
Negative experience: Made an appt for 9am a few days prior. Arrive at 0855 with the shop locked up, one employee arrives at 0905, after getting place open and lights on asks if I have an appt. Looks up the info and says my barber should be here soon?. So it 10 min after the appt time , and no barber.. this place is unprofessional and lost my business
Fantastic experience: Cesar is the man! I travel for work, and have been moving around the country for the last 3.5 years. I can confidently say that I have never found a more well-rounded barber. Cesar has crazy skill with the clippers, and always lines me up with immaculate fades. I’m pretty picky about how I like my hair, and at first he took time to listen then executed the cut perfectly based on my description and a photo or two. Since the first visit, he remembered exactly how I like my hair cut and treated me right ever since. Cesar can read a person really well- he could tell that on the days when I came in wiped after a night shift, that I wasn’t going to be very chatty and respected that. But on days when I stopped by with the energy, he was a great communicator and would remember details from conversations months prior. Cesar is a very charismatic guy, and I would recommend booking with him if you’re looking for a smooth fade, beard line-up/shave, attention to detail, professionalism, and a kind hearted easy going guy to take care of you. Also to note- V’s Tempe at the Watermark is in a very nice area right next to Tempe Lake. There are restaurants, shops, and a beautiful walking path around the lake in immediate proximity. The shop is fresh and clean, and check all of the boxes to pass the vibe check (mostly good music and sports/movies to watch). The one time I really needed a cut and had to walk-in without an appointment (Cesar wasn’t available), the staff accommodated me and I walked out more than satisfied. Their online booking process is smooth, and gives you the option to pay in person or ahead of time which is a really convenient option to offer. All-in-all, I would highly recommend this barbershop and specifically my man Cesar to anyone in the Phoenix area. There were plenty of barbershops closer to where I was living, but would drive over 45 minutes to see this barber wizard every couple weeks. Work has taken me to a different state now, and I’m back on the hunt for a barber(shop) this elite.
Fantastic experience: Hab is an outstanding, determined and passionate barber that I have had for two years. I always know that when I go to him, he's going to do a solid job. I am happy we crossed paths and I will continue to pass him good business.
Fantastic experience: I have a tradition with my 11yr old son. We get all our haircut's together and have chosen V's for that tradition. ( ive only gotten one haircut woithout him an that's because he hadn't started growing hair yet) we have been to three different V's locations and am happy with all 3. I will continue this tradition with V's until my son decides he's too cool to hang out with his old man.
Negative experience: Was pretty stoked to try this place out I had been passing by for a bit and finally decided to give it a shot. Unfortunately as soon as I walked in the vibe was off from almost everyone in there, I got paired up with a nice lady in the far back corner. She had her ear pods in so if I said anything about the cut during the process she had to stop and take them out..... She also cut herself pretty bad right from the beginning which was kinda crazy, in the end the cut was not good or even and had it fixed elsewhere. I just paid and will never go back Vs, looks cool from the outside though that's a plus.
Fantastic experience: My sons and I had a great time at V’s barbershop in Tempe. The staff was accommodating and very professional. Straight, razor, shaves re amazing. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Doe is an excellent barber, Gets me the cut I want every time and doesn't waist time getting it done. Also, the shop is very clean as well! Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Excellent service. Clean friendly atmosphere. Watch some t.v. - chat with the barber, get a nice haircut and enjoy the shops around Watermark. 10+ Stars!
Fantastic experience: I’ve had a great experience here each time. I always ask for Cesar and have never been disappointed. I’ve recommended Cesar to multiple friends and they have all said they will continue to come back for him and the great atmosphere.
Negative experience: Vs is my favorite barber shop. Sergio is world class as well as a most barbers in there. All but one. I had to use a different barber today due to timing. The cut was not done well at all. Beard looks worse than ever as well. No attention to detail. I like vs because of the precision. My barber today was not Precise and acted like I was disrupting them from their day.
Fantastic experience: Love the shop! It has a good vibe with some talented barbers. The cut came out great with a side of good convo. Looking forward to my next appointment.
Fantastic experience: READ MINE FIRST. Pay no attention to people who whine about a barber taking a break before his next client or not being greeted like chic fil A or Dutch brothers. It's a BARBER shop. Not a coffee bar. Neither are a1 star reason. That's maybe a 4 star.l rating. People are always so tough online. Sergio went above and beyond for me and still made his appointment. His 20 years of experience really came threw, as I'm not one to know styles or nomenclature of the business. Class act shop! All were friendly and you'll be taken care of.
Fantastic experience: Hab is the best, hands down. I drive far to bring my teenage son to him. If you have a teenager, you know they are picky. Perfect cut every time.
Fantastic experience: Cesar did a phenomenal job! He’s very passionate and knowledgeable about cutting hair and his skills reflect that.
Fantastic experience: This ain’t no cheap barbers, but damn that fade came out fire and my beard looking sharp. Honestly, if you can justify a 60/70 bucks haircut then this is the place you want to visit. Thanks for looking after a London Geezer, V’s
Fantastic experience: Details and the unhurried cut made this a five star journey., Hab did a great job on a haircut that was much different than when I came in. To my ordinary cut and went bold! Love it.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been searching for a good barber. The place I went to really messed up my hair. Doe did awesome!! Will for sure be back this is my barbershop. I’ll be bringing someone else as well!!!
Fantastic experience: Sergio did a great job. I love my cut, and it was very relaxing. I will definitely be returning.
Fantastic experience: I had not been to a professional to cut my hair for 15 years or more and had never been to a barbershop (my mom took me to her salons to get my haircut). My barber, Doe, was top class and made me feel very comfortable. I would give him and the entire experience at V's a 10/10 for sure. I will be back!
Fantastic experience: Big surge and doe are absolutely amazing, they both have great energy and both are very skilled. Highly recommend setting up a appointment with them
Fantastic experience: Came in with a bad haircut from a different place and Axel did a very good job fixing it up. Spent a lot of time making sure it looked good. Definitely coming back.
Negative experience: I had a 4:30 p.m. appointment on Saturday, 11/4/23. My assigned barber finished his customer about 4:15 p.m. and stood outside talking with a friend until 4:35 p.m. when I walked out. The host or scheduler seemed reluctant to give me the manager's name and contact information. When I pressed him for contact information for "Marty," he shrugged and said, he was "just Ian," as if there was nothing he could do about the barber talking outside.
Negative experience: The Barbershop's lack of adherence to their schedule was quite frustrating. Despite having an appointment, I ended up waiting multiple times when I scheduled with someone besides my regular barber. It’s frustrating seeing them fit someone else in for your appointment time. I drive 35 min for these appointments. There seems to be a lack of Professionalism. After years of coming here it’s definitely changed. Will not be returning.
Fantastic experience: Big Surge is the most consistent barber I’ve had for the past 2 years. Never disappoints. I usually go with a mid taper and it’s been fire every time.
Fantastic experience: I was with Doe today as a walk in and he got me looking sharp! Knew exactly what I wanted and got it done in reasonable time too. Definitely gonna book with him from now on.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been going here for over a year and a half and have been seeing Big Surge. Best barber in the area I highly recommend. Very knowledgeable and fun to talk to!
Fantastic experience: Cesar was awesome. He confirmed every step of the cut to make sure I got exactly what I wanted. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: I made my appointment, showed up on time,and he finished with the client before me and got me in the chair. This was my second time. First time I was going for a cut for my birthday weekend. Obviously this being the second time, Hab did an awesome job. And now I'm gonna be going to him once or twice every month. Great price with a great cut!
Negative experience: Got there a couple of minutes after the 7 min tardy for appointments. They couldn’t even accept the appointment even though the barber wasn't done with the customer. Barber finished 15 mins past our appointment time. It would be different if the barber was just waiting for us. But it seems we have to wait on them.
Positive experience: Hab was good very meticulous when giving a haircut. He engages with his customers and offers suggestions for his new and existing clients. When I am in Phoenix again, Hab will be my go-to barber!!! I had to make a small change due to the fact that I asked for a fade and ended up with a high and tight. Hab is still a knowledgeable barber!!
Fantastic experience: First time going in and I will continue to do so. The scheduling format was very user friendly and effective, I got a same-day appointment. The services provided were exceptional in both aspects of the cut and the conversations.
Fantastic experience: I've been having difficulty finding a good barber shop, and finally I found one! Great service and a great cut. I will definitely be returning.
