Fantastic experience: Had a late in the day appointment with Emily, she did a great job cutting my hair and I was in and out of the shop within the hour. Great Cut, Fiance Approved

Ann Brzezinski Published on Google 9 months ago

Fantastic experience: My son got a last minute appointment and we had a great experience. Super nice that they have same day appointments available.

Michael Brown Published on Google 10 months ago

Positive experience: 4 Awesome cut and really personable. Would have given it a 5. Not all of the included services were offered to me: )

J Grimm Published on Google 10 months ago

Fantastic experience: Ka cut my hair. She did great. Would recommend.

Gordon Brooke Published on Google 10 months ago

Fantastic experience: "What a great experience! Emily was fantastic—engaging, attentive, and genuinely interested in my preferences. She asked thoughtful questions and ensured my haircut was exactly as I requested. No going through the motions—just top-notch service! I’ll definitely be back. Great job, Emily!"

Ben Dorfman Published on Google 11 months ago

Fantastic experience: Been coming here for years as I work next door. It's great. Comfortable ambience, good haircuts and skilled barbers. Would highly recommend to anybody looking for a new haircut place in dane county. My coworkers all come here too and we all love it.

Lovesomeonedumb Published on Google 1 year ago

Positive experience: Went in with my daughter for each of us to get a cut. Just a trim for her and a cut for me. My cut was done by Kathleen and was perfect and she was very sweet. But looking at my daughters hair just now and it is way crooked. I understand this is a mens barber shop but they should have just said they couldnt do it. This for 35 dollars for that is a bit insane to me. I was happy to pay 35 for my cut though

David Mitchel Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: First time customer after just moving to Madison! Had a fabulous experience. Courteous staff, knowledgeable(was able to discern what i wanted from my rambling), and extremely efficient! Great price for the services provided along with a calm and clean atmosphere. Will be a customer from here on.

A Mazur Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Made me look good, and did it quickly, affordably and friendly. I've been going to The Barbershop for years, at multiple locations, and never got a bad haircut

Ammar Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: After trying 6 different barbers, this is the best experience. Thank you KA, and see you soon for sure

Connor Yakes Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I like coming here and although the haircuts are a little pricey, I feel like they are getting expensive wherever you go for men. I always book with Temarcus as he does a great job. Always a consistent service too which is nice. I would recommend!

Randy Phillips Published on Google 1 year ago

Positive experience: Most of the time our haircuts are good. It seems the stylists change a bit so it’s hard to get the same person. Overall good experience.

Malee Thao Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I recently had an appointment with KA, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. She was incredibly gentle and took the time to ask thoughtful questions to understand exactly what I wanted. The entire process felt so comfortable and personalized. My hair now feels so much lighter, and the layers are perfectly styled just the way I envisioned. I truly appreciate her attention to detail and care throughout the appointment. Highly recommend!

Gray Miller Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I've been coming here for a couple of years, and never failed to get a good cut. Most recently I came in and told Ka that I wanted a different look than I'd had before, and she not only gave me what I wanted but improved on my idea. I'll keep coming back, for sure.

Rosemary Bauman Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: We had a great experience! My son felt very comfortable and it was a very relaxed and welcoming environment. Thank you!

Sean Sullivan Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I appreciate the time that was put into the haircut as well as the concern to make sure that my needs as a customer were met. Excellent customer service! Thank you!

Jeremy Howden Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: My stylist, Ka(?), was great. My hair looks great. My only complaint is that I asked her to get rid of my gray and she couldn’t.

Richard Buss Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Been a while since I visited and glad to see that service remains fantastic. Amanda did an excellent job. Very happy.

Jonathan Dargel (Jon D) Published on Google 1 year ago

Positive experience: The past two times i have gone i didnt get a shouder massage with the gun. Honestly, i look forward to that. The last time. I don't get my hair washed. Kinda wild. That's what your advertise

Timothy Lumby Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Ka cut my hair and did amazing. It's hard to find a good fade but Ka made it looks easy! I'll definitely keep coming back!

Spencer Frey Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Charity did a great job. During the haircut I could tell she’s a cut above the rest of the barbers out there. Fantastic attention to detail and great technique. Even though this barber shop is far from my house I will be going back!

Connie Stone Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Great haircut & fade from Brandon. I had a bad haircut with a chunk of hair being cut out . Brandon fixed it & my hair looks great . I’ll definitely go back . Great place and GREAT PRICES

Jon Herr Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I let my hair grow for over a year so I don’t blame Charity for looking a little nervous when I asked her to chop it all off. She made sure of what I wanted and she nailed it. I’ve received so many compliments. I’m definitely going back.

Bill Mabrey Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Stopped in to get my hair cut on August 8 because I haven’t been able to get a decent cut from multiple salons for the last 1 1/2 years. Breanna took me as it was her turn, I was happy to find she understood exactly what I wanted, the standard “businessman’s cut” that so many stylists and salons seem to have forgotten how to do. She was a good conversationalist and we talked quite a bit about many topics. I was very happy with the cut she gave me, she did an excellent job. And such a pleasant personality and nice to chat with!

Dan M Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Ka did an excellent job cutting my hair, she didn't rush the cut like others have done in the past. Plus she's a very nice lady. I highly recommend Ka for your next haircut.

Kandarp Shah Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Great experience! This is my first time after growing a beard and Betty really understood what I wanted to get out of this trim. She recommended a tweaks to what I was thinking and it worked out great. Will definitely make this my go to beard spot!

Justin Nevel Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: 10/10 every time I’m there. Amanda(I think that’s who I worked with today) was amazing and super experienced, and knowledgeable. I have difficult hair to work with and she knew exactly how to work around it.

Michael Matthews Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Superb service and haircut. It was my first haircut since moving to Madison and I don't need to look anywhere else. Ka was gentle and efficient. Plus, she made me look great! I wasn't pressured into adding anything on to my service which can sometimes be a little annoying. Lastly, they wash your hair AFTER your haircut which I've never seen before, but is absolutely genius. Looking forward to my next visit!

KJ Published on Google 1 year ago

Negative experience: Could’ve been a bad night for the barber, but it was unfortunately one of the worst cuts I’ve gotten. I’m sure there are other good barbers there so I’ll give 2 stars, but it was a 1-star haircut. He shaved one half of my head and didn’t come close to blending it.

Hi Kirk, we apologize for the experience you had with us. Your next haircut is on us. We hope you give us another chance in the near future.

Eric Hahn Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: This barbershop accepts both appointments and walk ins. Their website is super easy to use and book appointments. I have never received a bad haircut from any of the stylists and their pricing is definitely worth it.

Zach Hefty Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Duane was fantastic. This was my first time at a barbershop, they have a customer for life. I'll never go back to great clips again.

James B. Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I went in and got a cut from Temarcus for the first time because all of the reviews I saw online praised his cuts and in particular his fades. He not only lived up to expectations but surpassed them. Also, he was humble and took an artist's pride in his craft. I've been getting cuts in Madison for 10+ years now, and his work on my hair and my beard was easily some of the best I've had since I moved here. I cannot recommend him highly enough--truly great work.

comrade ziggy Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I got the shorter hair cut and beard trim after not having either of those in 3 ish years. They were careful concise and quick while still making it a good experience overall and they were genuinely friendly.

Julian Portway Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Tia was really good. Knew exactly what I was looking for. I go to this barber shop regularly and no complaints. Recommend asking for Tia if you make an appointment. Julian

Joseph Kutzke Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Always a blessed experience at this nook of magical service! Duane makes a smooth experience with the razor! Definitely go here.

Chuck Carter Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Charity did a great job. My head is majority bald on top and my remaining hair is pretty unmanageable. She did a great job of making me look less bald and more GQ - to the extent that was possible ;). She's also got the job done quickly which I appreciate.

Tang Hang Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Tia did a great job! My son has very thick hair that grows upward & the texture is quite rough. It has a wave/curl texture that you cannot really see based on how it grows out. We showed her a few photos of what he wanted & she took her time to examine his hair & texture. She started with buzzing all around the requested area, keeping it at midpoint as requested. She then started to spray but after picking at it she completely wet his entire hair to see the actual form on the top! This was thinking outside of the box & an extra step we appreciate bc his hair has always been cut dry or sprayed and at the end the top was always cut too short. With this cut and careful texturing/blending all around it gave him the slick back look that he was hoping for! This cut complimented the way his wave/curl grows & it definitely gave him a more Stylish, age appropriate look!

Michael C. Roberts Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: The beautician was very nice, very fast and ended with good conversation and shoulder massage. I will definitely be going back, and i live in TEXAS!

Michael Kahle Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Another great haircut at The Barbershop. I've been going to The Barbershop for 10ish years now. I started going to the Lien Rd location and when the Sun Prairie location opened I went there because it was closer to my home. I went back to the Lien Rd location to follow Temarcus who gives a perfect fade every time. I've always found the locations to be clean, polite and professional even after all these years. I also never feel like it's a "rush" job like I've experienced at certain "Great-Sports-Clips-n-Cuts" types of places. My first review for The Barbershop and it was long overdue. Don't forget to tip your stylists!

Eduardo Barrionuevo Published on Google 2 years ago

Negative experience: Was told if I showed up at 6:09 for my 6:10 appt it would have been fine but because I came in the door at 6:12 it was a problem and the barber wasn't feeling it... I'm a repeat business but not any more

Dee A. Published on Google 2 years ago

Negative experience: I arrived at the salon and was directed to Dwayne's station. I noticed that the station was unclean and had a strong smell of cigarettes. I requested if he could trim more of the sides, but Dwayne was not accommodating and rather impolite. I also observed that his own hair was not well-groomed, which was surprising for a hairstylist. A hairstylist should know how to present themselves to customers, but unfortunately, in Dwayne's case, his skills are not reflected in his own hair. I was disappointed by his attitude and lack of professionalism, and I have no intention of returning.

Hello Dee, thank you for your feedback. This is not typical for Duane as he is one of our top requested barbers within all 3 of our locations. We apologize for your experience with us and hope you give us another shot. Your next service is on us.

Thank you.

Fantastic experience: Very nice clean , & welcomed ! I had Diane cut my hair she was a sweetheart & gave me a great shampoo & massage along with a very good haircut!

Rickachu Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Got a hair cut and beard trim from Duane, and he did an amazing job! Very professional and great at what he does. The only issue was that some of the other hair stylists had their TV volume on along with the holiday music coming over the PA system, and having multiple shows and music playing at the same time made it hard to relax. Aside from that, everything was great, and will be back to see Duane when I need another trim

Katie Collard Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: My husband went to THE BARBERSHOP and loved it. I didn't know if they took women there and they do! So I made an appointment. While I got some strange looks when I went in, my stylist, T.A. was so kind, friendly and good! I am a Senior and she was so caring for my physical challenges. It was a wonderful experience all the way!!

Michael Churley Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: My barber was the best. Besides being super attractive, he was very attentive to detail, got it done in a timely manner, and held a great conversation to make the experience more comfortable. The rest of the staff were very helpful and the building was super clean. The waiting area was the most comfortable place I've ever been to. The price may seem a bit high but once you are finished you'll realize it's worth every penny! If my barber reads this "hit me up you know where to find my number" lol

Conner Wolf Published on Google 2 years ago

Negative experience: I had been going to Betty or Becky I always blank on the name and she was absolutely phenomenal until I went in there after booking an appointment with her only to be taken and cut by the manager Duane(not sure about spelling) . But he proceeded to give me a subpar cut and ended the haircut with a very creepy and uncomfortable massage. Heard I’m not the only one. All the other stylists are AMAZING tho. Just will not be going back because of that

Esteban Antuna Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I had my hair done by Ka and it came out perfect, not many people know how to cut men with longer hair and style it but Ka did amazing!

Juju Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: First time here and man was it a good experience for me! I advise, everyone to go here. Their workers are incredible, especially Ka, so shout out to her! She is hands on and will give you an amazing cut! All men’s go here! For $32 you cannot beat it, also I always leave a tip it’s not easy, standing up and working long hours. Thank you and again go ask for Ka!

Joseph Matzelle Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: The shop has a lot of signage and the other reviews talk about neck rubs and such. I didn't get one. In fact, my experience was very cut and dry, pun intended. My barber was very quiet and quick, with nothing extra added. That is what I wanted, so five stars.

Oussama Bouguendoura Published on Google 2 years ago

Negative experience: I had two experience with them, the last one the woman was nice and kind, but the haircut was horrible, i didn’t like it, i don’t care about being kind or nice just be respectful, I need a good haircut as I expect and described. The first experience the woman was not nice as the last one but she did the job and she was respectful, the haircut was acceptable, not good but close to what i wanted.

Hi Oussama, thank you for your feedback. We apologize your experience didn’t meet your standards. We have several great barbers at all 3 locations. I suggest requesting a manager next time and they will take good care of you.

Devin Walker Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing service. Actually the best service I've had in over 20 years! Highly recommend for any guy wanting a foil fade shave for sure.

Jill Raschein Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I bring my adult Down Syndrome nephew here. He is always treated very respectfully and gets an awesome haircut that looks great. He loves getting "the works" a hot face towel and neck massage afterwards. These people are great!

Travis Fabisch Published on Google 2 years ago

Negative experience: Stylist was nice but the haircut was absolute trash!!!! Not faded or blended at all!!! DO NOT GO HERE EVER!!!!!

Hi Travis we apologize you were unhappy with your haircut. We would like you to come back in so one of our managers can take a look and fix it for you. Again we apologize and hope you give us another shot.

Valerie Lopez Published on Google 2 years ago

Negative experience: The lady with the 4th of July hat didn’t take her time on my boyfriend who went in for a a haircut. The lines on the side wasn’t even faded, his hairline was left uneven .Both sides of his head were completely different .In & out the chair within 20 minutes. Don’t recommend!

Elizabeth Martinez Published on Google 2 years ago

Positive experience: Diane was great she was able to do a tight fade right up to my hair line where I'm growing my hair out. Highly recommend

Caoimhín Brummagem Published on Google 2 years ago

Negative experience: I came in with a very easy and straight-forward haircut request, but I was left deeply dissatisfied. I don't know if the person who did my hair was tired, or distracted, or just having an off day, but they were rough and brisk to the point where I ended up with an unfinished and uneven haircut. Not only that, but the clippers they used were too sharp or used incorrectly and left painful red welts on the back of my neck that hurt the rest of the day. I've always had a decent haircut at this location in the past, so hopefully this was just a one-off thing. Regardless, I will think twice about using that stylist again.

Fantastic experience: Duane is an amazing barber he does an amazing job everytime im there and he is extremely friendly and professional I don't even live on the east side but I travel to see Duane because I'm never disappointed great staff great service thanks again!

Kyla Hills Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Charity is amazing. She is so patient and sweet with my young son and despite him being less than cooperative, she still manages to give him a good haircut every time.

Lane Slotten Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great job on my services. Promptly got me into the chair and Cazoua had me looking great in no time! Love her as my professional groomer. Will be back soon!

Patrick Menting Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Lori has cut my hair now for the past year and I would highly recommend her to anyone! Her manager, Tanya, has also been very helpful!

Gordon Elliott Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: This was my first full service haircut and I was not sure what to expect. I went in thinking it would be my usual experience of getting my haircut and leaving to deal with the after care myself. Instead I was treated to a haircut, wash, and meticulous hair removal so I didn't drive home itchy. I was offered a shoulder massage, which was well beyond what I was expecting. For the price I will be sure to return again and again.

Derek Krismer Published on Google 3 years ago

Negative experience: Bad experience both with the service and the haircut. All interactions with staff made me feel uncomfortable and as if I was being difficult. I don't have a difficult haircut but it usually takes longer than 10 minutes. I do not think that is enough time to give a good haircut and take the care to leave the customer satisfied. Will not be going back and will be quickly getting a second haircut to fix my current one.

She goes above and beyond and she always has a smile on her face. Amazing service by everyone!!! Thank you KA and everyone at the Barbershop!

Fantastic experience: Amanda is great! One of the kids had hair down to their waist and Amanda cut it into a cute pixie for them! Kiddo is living their best life now!

Kia Tzun Wong Published on Google 3 years ago

Negative experience: I got my worst haircut at this place. I can’t do anything as it was cut way too short now. The length of my front hair is uneven. Have anyone seen a “Nike “ sign front hair ? What was she thinking when she cuts my hair? I bet no pictures of me on my travel. Thanks to the Barbershop.

Fantastic experience: Worth your money. I love getting my hair wash after the haircut and sometimes they offer you back massage. They are nice also :)

C M Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: really expensive, and they charge 1.00 more if you pay by card. so with tip it will run you about 40.00 for a hair cut @ the lowest cut. Your response was totally juvenile and you are not comparable to others so for the hair cut alone is out of line as far as the other things you consider with the cut I pay for that as well as its included in the cost of the cut. Have a happy holiday's

The Barbershop A Hair Salon For Men

Hello, thanks for your feedback. We only charge $1 more if you pay by card. Our prices are actually still on the lower end compared to everyone else. Other than the price complaint we hope you are happy with your haircut.

Edgar Cuevas Published on Google 3 years ago

Negative experience: I used to love going to this place they generally do a decent job at doing fades and haircuts. Recently, I have seen a dip of quality both in haircuts and customer service. For insight, I usually do a mid fade comb over with texturizing and hard part line. They are one of the best places to get it done in Madison.... If they are not in a rush. They seem to be double booking and not being as attentive to details. Unfortunately, the straw that broke the camel's back was reached for me. I was scheduled for an appointment on a Sunday closer to closing time and they just cancelled my appointment altogether. I drove all the way to the shop just to be told that I could no longer be taken. This was very unprofessional and they didn't even offer to reschedule. I don't know if there's been a change in leadership but I honestly find that outrageous. I recommended a few friends to go here but will now let them know that they are not reliable and consistent.

Hi Edgar. Sorry for your experience with us. We try to accommodate everyone as best as we can but if someone runs over 10 minutes late, we can't always do so. We hope you decide to give us another chance in the future.

Angie M Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Tanya always does a fantastic job with both my husband and my son's hair. She's kind, patient and we love going to her!

K D Jennings Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I scheduled my appointment with Tanya, who took the time to listen to my needs. I don't think I ask for anything difficulty, but it's amazing how many stylists can't seem to get beyond what THEY think I'm asking vs, what I want. Tanya listened to what I described, and provided the cut/style I wanted. Experience won in this review.

Brandi Jean Published on Google 3 years ago

Positive experience: I called ahead today because I’m new to the area and wanted to get a first time Mullet with a fade. As this is a new hair style for me, after growing my hair out for a year, I was pretty nervous about it as anyone would be. I got Amanda on the phone who was my stylist for the day and when I asked if they’ve done Mullets before or if there was someone there who specializes with them I was rudely responded with “yeah we are a BARBERSHOP that’s what WE do”. Sometimes barbers are better at certain styles. Maybe customer service isn’t your strong point. I’ll take my business elsewhere.

We apologize for the bad interaction you had with us. We have very talented barbers at this location and hope you decide to give us another shot.

Gary Mitchell Published on Google 3 years ago

Positive experience: Service is good. However the price was ridiculous. $29 to run clippers with a number 2 guard over my head for three minutes is outrageous. I should have asked the price before I sat down. I still tipped $8, it wasn’t the stylist’s fault they are overpriced.

Max T Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I’m in town for the weekend and saw Duane for a haircut. He’s a pro who should have his own studio and chair, and charge $50 per cut. They’re lucky to have him!

Brian Collien Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: The online scheduling system is convenient. Appointments are always on time. Staff are service oriented. Lauryn is a first class person and has done an outstanding job building this business.

Everett Reid Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: The professionals that work at The Barbershop are great at what they do. It’s a fantastic environment and has great energy. They communicated well through their texting system and had reminders to when my haircut was scheduled. I will 110% be coming back for a haircut every time I need one.

Matthew Kuphal Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Chelsea was not only friendly right off the bat at 9am mind you) but she was also very good at her job and recommended a product that suited my needs. I would highly recommend seeing her when visiting.

Rachel Brown Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: We went to many barbers prior to coming here and then we started seeing Tanya! She ALWAYS does an amazing job with my boys hair! I’m always happy with the results. :)

Calvin Xiong Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Ka provided an amazing service for my haircut, it was awesome seeing her work and her experience speaks when she already know what’d be my best fit/look from the beginning. Quick, easy and clean.

Fantastic experience: Very impressed with my visit to this location. They fixed my chopped cut and made it look sooooo much better. Will definitely keep coming back! Thank you for such a satisfying appointment. 5 ⭐️‘s !

Allen May Published on Google 3 years ago

Positive experience: Great haircut. Very pleasant stylist. Only objection was upon arrival. The women who "greeted" me seemed really annoyed that she had to come to the front desk to check me in. I got a look as if I had murdered her mother. Not very professional.

Lucas Isaacs Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Passing through Madison, WI , decided to get a last minute fade, the place was busy but they were able to accommodate my walk-in and within 15 minutes i was getting a great bald fade, hair wash, and neck massage! Such a relaxing experience ! 10/10

Tim Kempster Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have gone here ever since I moved to Madison, had a few different stylists and have been consistently seeing Diane for my haircuts as needed. Always a great cut and good experience. Highly recommend to anyone who values the full service (the shampoo and shoulder massage is really what puts this place over the top :)

Jeff Arevalo Published on Google 3 years ago

Positive experience: Had Amanda "fix" a previous haircut I got elsewhere. She did a great job and I didn't have to explain much, she just knew what I wanted. This barbershop is my go to whenever I'm on that side of town. Always busy and always a good haircut

Scott Byrnes Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Love using Duane. He does an excellent job every time. After each visit i typically receive several compliments, they always ask where i go and i always tell them use Duane.

Daniel Bowser Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Duane is seriously the best. I’ve been taken care of very well by the people at the barbershop over the years, but Duane is by far the best to have ever cut my hair. He always seems to find a way to best his previous work when I come in. He is such a valuable asset to the barbershop! I hope they take good care of him there!

Mike Crum Published on Google 3 years ago

Negative experience: When you come in the evening 20 minutes before closing time, walk in for a cut, 3 people are standing around, and you ask if you can get in for a quick hair cut and they say they are closed. With 20 minutes before closing time, no one else in the shop, It's very frustrating. Then as I walk away someone says "sorry" very patronizing and asks if I want to make an appointment. NO, I would like to get a hair cut for the $30 you charge because you are not closed yet and just standing around. This kind of customer service is why I stopped coming here.

Fantastic experience: Tanya is a fantastic barber! She's been my go-to for the past year. It hasn't mattered whether I had known what I wanted before I came in or if I had been unsure of what I wanted, I've always left with a killer cut!

Negative experience: Living on the west side of Madison I generally go to the Barbershop off of Junction road. They did not have any available appointments until Sunday so I decided to book a time at the location on the east side and it was only an hour after when I booked it, great! The stylist asked what I wanted to have done, I wanted .5 inch on the back and sides and .75 inches on the top with a bit of a fade between the two lengths. The stylist then asks me if a 4 on the back and sides and a 6 on top was okay. As a layperson to haircutting I said sure. They then cut my hair without wetting it at all (I have curly/waivy hair) which I knew was going to produce some serious inconsistencies with the length. They buzzed the top first to the '6', and buzzed the back and sides with the '4' after. They then took a normal buzzer and cleaned up around my face, my ears and the back of my neck. Now normally, this would be fine but due to the nature of curly hair I had anywhere between .75 and 2 inches on top and anywhere between .5 and 1 inch on the back and sides. From there, after the haircut, there was no offer for my hair to be washed or have product put in (the stylist just decided to put in something without letting me know first). I don't have any haircutting experience, however, I could have done a better job in the mirror myself. I had to clean up all of the inconsistencies with the hair length myself at home because there was no chance that I'd have the issue fixed at the east side Barbershop location. I've had my fair share of bad haircuts due to the stylist not wanting to take the time to use scissors and verify the length is consistent across my dome but instead they figure a buzzer and guard will do just as good of a job. I used to really like the Barbershop across Madison and the Fox Valley locations but my experience today has propelled me to find a stylist at a local shop that will be consistent with what I'd like to have done.

Fantastic experience: Best haircut I have ever had by excellent staff. I will be returning! If you get a fade go here. Don't waste your time going anywhere else.

Fantastic experience: The staff was super accommodating and got us in and out quickly. I was very pleased with the haircuts that Lauren and Diane gave my boys. I would definitely go back to them!

Fantastic experience: Always love going to get my haircut there. Especially when you find that one person that gets your haircut right the first time. Chelsey has done an outstanding job and knows how I like my hair cut. She is the only one I go see there. Just a great family friendly place.

Positive experience: A little bit of a wait because they were busy, but worth the wait. I recommend Lori if you have a choice. First time with her and was really satisfied for the first time which is rare.

Negative experience: Brought my two sons in for a haircut. One was fine, my other son ended up with a horrible haircut. He has thick wavy brown hair that was quite long and asked for it to be “shorter” on the back, sides and top. What he got was a buzz with a three or a two all the way around. No style. I could have done better at home myself. He was crying in the car. He is a high school boy and now has to worry about this bad haircut. Apparently he stated she started buzzing him on the top of his head so he didn’t see a chance to say that’s not what I want. I will NEVER be coming back. We have been there several times in the past and it has been okay, and everyone is friendly enough but this is too far. At the very least the stylist could have asked, “you want me to do a three all over your head before buzzing it off?”.

Negative experience: Went in for a trim to get my hair under control for a formal occasion I had coming up. Emphasized that I was trying to grow my hair out and only wanted a little bit off to shape it but took way too much off. The online system also canceled my appointment but they were still able to work me in. Other than that, the staff were all nice and the cut was pretty cheap so I guess you get what you pay for.

Hi Kevin. Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate your business! We are in the process of switching to a better online booking system. We hope to see you again.

Negative experience: Lori was an awful stylist. She was rude, impatient, and for whatever reason did not care enough to give me a proper cut or even clean me up after the cut. I suspect she was hungover, given her curt demeanor and momentary step away because it was quote "so hot". I would write a more detailed skewering, but I have given myself more even haircuts and right now my time would be better spent finding a barber who can cover this mess up.

Fantastic experience: I got a haircut from Diane and honestly was one of the best haircuts I’ve gotten in quite some time. Her attention to deal is incredible. She’s got great talent and I would recommend her to anyone. Will definitely come back and see her for my next cut.

Fantastic experience: So I was here about a year ago, and didn't have the greatest experience. But because this place is so highly rated in reviews, I decided to give it a second chance. Let me preface by saying; haircuts make me anxious and nervous, I've had so many bad ones. Today, I was taken care of by Chelsey. She was very kind, and had a very calm, and reassuring demeanor. On top of that, she just gave me a really nice haircut. It's a great fade. She took her time, didn't rush, paid attention to detail, and did a fantastic job. Chelsey; thank you so much! The last time I was here, the hot towel facial, the shampoo, and the shoulder massage was not even offered to me. The stylist I saw last time just gave me a very rushed haircut, then booted me out of her chair. Today, Chelsey offered me everything, the whole works. The hot towel facial, and the shampoo was so relaxing, and so wonderful. A whole day of stress from working and traffic just disappeared, I almost fell asleep in the chair! And because I was offered the shampoo, I ended up being introduced to a fantastic conditioner, and I bought a bottle of it so that I could use it at home too. This experience today was totally and completely polar opposite to my last experience. Now I can see why so many men like this place. I would be more than happy to come back here, and would feel privileged to have Chelsey be my stylist again. She truly provided a wonderful experience today, and I can't thank her enough. Now I've rated this place 5 stars, and I would absolutely recommend. If you're like me, and you feel like your hair is difficult to cut, and you get nervous about haircuts, ask for Chelsey. She did an amazing job.

Negative experience: I had an appointment this morning at 930 to get a hair cut, and it I had to get done today. Keep in mind it did snow pretty hard last night, but after leaving early this morning to make sure I got there on time, roughly 15 minutes early I arrived to an empty parking lot. I called several times and eventually had to call a different store and "luckily" the district manager (DM) was there to tell me they decided to open that location at noon instead. Apparently she could see I was the only appointment but no way to see my phone number to let me know in advance. So heres my problem. 1.This is completely unprofessional way to run a business. 2.If they deemed it unsafe for their employees to go in why did they think it was ok to not inform their clients who could be making a similar drive? 3. If I was truly the only client that morning and the DM was at this other location across town why couldn't she come across town to fill in for the one appointment that morning? 4. If the DM can see I'm the only appointment that morning why couldn't she also see my number? does that mean they put my name on an electronic calendar and not my contact info? 5. They asked me to come in again at noon. SO, I have to make the drive twice when they didn't feel safe enough to make it once? Sounds fair and reasonable.... 6. Between waiting and 2 round trips to get my hair cut I will have wasted nearly 2hrs. Not including the actual haircut This company has disrespected me and my time. Seriously pay extra money somewhere else where they will actually give a damn.

Hi

Yes, I did speak with you this morning. I apologize for this. A few of the stylists there live very far from work and we just weren't expecting this much snow. I absolultey would have driven across town in a blizzard to cut your hair but unfortunatley I was already booked at the west side location. I can assure you this is a very rare incident. The safety of our staff and clients is our number one priority. We are working on improving our system to make sure this never happens again! We hope you give us another shot.

Fantastic experience: All my boys go here for their hair cuts. Great service, great price! Shannon always goes above and beyond making my autistic son feel comfortable whole getting his hair cut. She is amazing and patient with him.
