Hawk & Fade Barbershop: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Justice was great! He took the time to listen and achieved what I was wanting for my 6 year old son. He made us feel welcomed and did a great job
Fantastic experience: Jermaine cut my hair and my beard, fantastic job. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: 1st time customer to Hawk and Fade. I’ve had my beard for close to a year and went a little too much trimming it up. I was at a point where I was going to shave it off and start over. Marc was awesome! After we talked some he assured me everything was going to be OK. Well the beard looks great and I’m super happy with the results! Marc also gave me some advice on haircut. Gave me options and reasons why. I will be back again! Thank you Marc!!!
Fantastic experience: Haley has been great. She is the reason why I will be continuing to come back here
Fantastic experience: Yanil is the best, great service every time!
Fantastic experience: Great Haircut! Thanks Haley! See you soon.
Fantastic experience: This place is great! Got me right in at the scheduled time and Justice did an awesome job. I'll definitely return.
Fantastic experience: I went to Jaime and hands down was the best haircut with an amazing experience. We laughed the entire time I was getting a haircut amazing atmosphere
Fantastic experience: Payton cuts my hair from Hawk & Fade and she is absolutely awesome. I bounced from barber to barber for years looking for one that could cut my hair exactly the way I wanted it and then about 6 months ago I sat down in Payton's chair. At first I was a little skeptical but when she was done she had given me the best cut I had ever had. Now I wont go to anyone else for a haircut.
Fantastic experience: Haley consistently does an amazing job with my haircut every time. If you are looking for a good haircut/beard trim and excellent service book your haircut with Haley !!
Fantastic experience: Paul did an excellent job on my haircut
Fantastic experience: First haircut after moving here to CLT. Jermaine got me in right away and cut me up exactly how I wanted it. A little pricey but worth the quality. Will be coming back.
Positive experience: Great haircut options. Hailey, Payton did a really good job getting a flow haircut
Fantastic experience: My main barber Clemente hooks up my son and I every time!
Fantastic experience: Got a perfect fade before my trip. My amigos from Puerto Rico hooked it up and gave me some Spanish lessons. Thanks for squeezing me in. Le debo una pizza a mi corillo!
Fantastic experience: I use to go there and see Mandi. Mandi moved on and I followed but it just wasn’t the same. I love this shop, the people are great and Payton Slycord gives a great fade. So looks like I’m coming back because of Payton. She took her time, didn’t rush, and it looks great. I didn’t have a hair cut due to a medical issue for a months, she trimmed a bear lol, and I’m looking fresh. Thanks.
Fantastic experience: As always, another great fade haircut by Yanil!
Fantastic experience: Elian is an amazing barber. He always listens with a kind ear and is incredibly patient and sweet with my son. Haircuts have been a challenge for us in the past, but my child truly enjoys going to see Elian, which means so much to me as a parent. Elian is very talented and consistently does a great job cutting my son’s hair. I’m extremely pleased to have him as our barber and highly recommend him.
Fantastic experience: Paul did a great job on my haircut.
Fantastic experience: Mr. Josh did a great job on my son’s haircut today. He walked out saying It was the best haircut he’d ever had and he definitely will be back! five stars from a seven-year-old. It’s a big deal! Thanks for being kind, Josh!
Fantastic experience: Payton was great! She was very detailed and made sure I knew what she was going to do before she did it while also helping guide me to get the hair cut I wanted. 10/10
Negative experience: got the worst cut of my life here. Gonna get bullied at school tomorrow. If I could have left a 0 star review I would have
Fantastic experience: Jermaine always does a good job and gets me right everytime
Fantastic experience: Awesome place, great service! even came with a beer!
Fantastic experience: Got a wonderful haircut and had a great experience. They were able to fit me in immediately!
Fantastic experience: First time at Hawk & Fade and it was a great experience! Will definitely be coming back. Haircut and beard trim was by Haley who was super friendly and knowledgeable.
Fantastic experience: Got my haircut with Paul and he did an amazing job! Definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a great haircut!
Negative experience: last time i went it wasn’t the worst cut ever but they cut so much off in length i asked for my hair to be at my eyebrows and to take off half a inch to a inch of bulk he took off no bulk and made the length go to middle of my head i asked for this cut and wasn’t satisfied
Fantastic experience: Clemente is the man! Gets me right every time and always a great conversation. Make sure to book with him.
Fantastic experience: Haley is an absolute artist. Cant recommend this place enough. The vibe is great and the cuts are spot on!
Negative experience: I'm relatively new to Durham and was happy to find Jennifer at Hawk & Fade a few months ago. However, after 3 visits, I will not be going back. Here's why: Visit #1: My appointment was honored. We had a nice chat and did a good job, so I decided to keep coming back. Visit #2: She texted me a few minutes before my appointment to say she had double booked and needed me to wait 5 minutes. Not ideal, but fine. Visit #3: I walk in for my appointment and someone totally different tells me to sit down in his chair without even acknowledging that I had an appointment with Jennifer. And when I asked, he said "she's a little backed up today." Apparently, 1) the reservations that she gets from the attached salon next door are more important, and 2) she doesn't even give the courtesy to tell you that she's not going to honor your reservation. She could've texted me when she realized she was double-booked, but chose not to. She could've come in to the barbershop to tell me in person she couldn't make it, but chose not to. In other words, I chose her to be my stylist and she chose to disregard me. I don't ask for much, but I do expect my reservation to be honored. And if it can't be for some reason, that's not the end of the world, but for the love of sweet breakfast meats, tell me ahead of time. Otherwise, what's the point of a reservation?
Fantastic experience: Took my son here the other day. We are from out of town and needed a cut. John and Clay were awesome. Took time to talk to him about style and how to take care of his hair. Would definitely recommend and would definitely come back. These guys were great!
Fantastic experience: Amazing haircuts and conversation! Definitely give it a shot!
Fantastic experience: Yanil at Hawk and Fade cuts my boyfriend’s hair all the time and does an amazing job! The atmosphere is amazing! The staff takes care of you even if you’re just tagging along for the cut! Definitely the best barber shop in the area!
Fantastic experience: Jermaine is the man and does a great job every time
Fantastic experience: Babershop is clean and staff is professional and welcoming. Been going here for a few months now and will continue coming. Yanil is the man!
Fantastic experience: Moved to CLT in April, this has become my go to spot. All the barbers have done a great job, you’re in good hands
Fantastic experience: Haley has always done an amazing job! Good haircuts, good price, good atmosphere.
Fantastic experience: Jermaine is great! Always quick and professional
Negative experience: $50 for a sport clips quality cut. You would think for $50 they would ask you how you want your sideburns done before just chopping them off
Fantastic experience: Clemente hooked me up with the fresh cut and making my beard look less in shambles. Go see him to get what you need to look proper.
Fantastic experience: My hair is very difficult for people to work with, but John took his time and did a great job. I left looking like a different (much better) person.
Fantastic experience: Great place to get a haircut. They even have complementary beer .
Negative experience: Made an apt for a quick beard shave/trim. Apt was at 5pm, arrived 10-15 minutes (no worries) happy to wait. 20+ minutes after my appointment time and they aren’t even close to ready. If your looking for something quick, please look somewhere else
Fantastic experience: I scheduled an open appointment with barber, Daniel Clemente. He did a fanstaic job to say the least!! Very clean cut, I will be back 1000%. Also a very friendly and welcoming environment. Thank you!!!
Negative experience: Barber (jermaine) started cutting somebody else's hair When I was on time for my appointment. I walked in on time and he sat somebody else in the chair at my appointment time, If i show up on time for my appointment I expect the barber too as well. unacceptable customer service and a bad look for the shop.
Fantastic experience: I walked in randomly one day last minute on a Sunday evening to get an emergency cut and Payton was available. She has since been cutting my hair for months now and I'm blessed to have met her. She is amazing and versatile with both the clippers and scissors which has been an issue for me in the past as I require both. Definitely give her a chance if your reading this bc she is very professional, listens to your needs, cuts all hair types/styles, and always makes sure you're satisfied with the results.
Fantastic experience: Payton is the best, makes you feel welcome and fit me in when they were busy. Definitely will go back!
Negative experience: I’ve been to this location before and previously had a great experience. Unfortunately, my most recent visit was disappointing. I came in for a lineup and beard trim, but was told that what I wanted qualified as a haircut and that my 15-minute appointment didn’t allow enough time. The barber then offered minimal service and seemed uninterested in accommodating my request. At that point, I decided to leave rather than sit through an experience where I felt disrespected and dismissed. I would have gladly paid for a haircut if the situation had been handled more professionally. It was clear that the barber did not want to provide proper service, which was very disappointing given my past positive experiences.
Fantastic experience: Really great place, I’ve went here three times and I get exactly what I ask for and it always looks good. Everyone there is nice and friendly, it’s a great environment and the best place in Charlotte to get your cut
Fantastic experience: Due to stubborn cowlicks I've generally just buzzed my hair but I recently decided to try a more stylish cut and gave Hawk & Fade a try. Paul cut my hair and I can truly say that I've never been happier with how my hair looks in my life. He was also a joy to talk to during my cut and went out of his way to guarantee my satisfaction and offered to let me come back in and have him fix it up later in the week if I decided there was something I didn't like (which wasn't the case... the cut was great). I'll definitely be coming back to see Paul again.
Fantastic experience: Great cut, professional place. Jermaine killed it. One of the best barbershops I've ever been to.
Fantastic experience: First time here as a walk-in near the end of the day. Payton decided to stay after despite being done for the day and did an amazing job with my hair. Super friendly and professional. Would definitely come back
Fantastic experience: Hailey was very nice and did an amazing job cutting my hair will gladly be going back.
Fantastic experience: I came here after I grew my hair out for a long time. I looked specifically for a barber that was skilled with the buzzer and with scissors. Carlos heard what I wanted and used his experience and skill to deliver FAR above and beyond what I expected and paid for. You could make a transformational before and after video out of my experience here, but that's just what they do every day.
Fantastic experience: Just moved to charlotte and couldn’t be more happy with Spencer for my mid skin fade! I got exactly what I asked for and he cut exactly the amount I wanted on the top and couldn’t be more happy to have found my main barber here in charlotte. If you’re looking for a good fade or cut this is the guy!
Fantastic experience: i came in looking to get a gender affirming modern mullet cut and i left with an edgy sick-ass mullet. my barber was Carlos, he made me feel comfortable and heard during the whole cut. the shop itself is also super cool, i’ve never been into a barbershop that had a motorcycle in the middle and also served modelo, soda, and water in a little mini version of a bar. me and my partner were just passing through Charlotte for the day but i will 100% recommend this barbershop to anyone local or otherwise!! (they also validate parking which isn’t anything crazy but was super appreciated) thank you, hawk & fade!! ️⚧️
Fantastic experience: Heard about Hawk & Fade and wanted to check them out. Jermaine was awesome! I went in like a chump and came out like a Boss!!! I’ll definitely be back.
Fantastic experience: It was my first time being here and I was seen by Carlos. Carlos is nothing but a professional at what he does and is such a down to earth person to talk to while you’re getting your cut.
Fantastic experience: it was my first time at Hawk and fade, and Jermaine got me right. Best skin fade I’ve gotten in a long time!
Fantastic experience: All I gotta say is I went in there not having a hair cut in 3 years hair was given back to me for donation and I was faded up with scissors some of the nicest people who just love what they do
Fantastic experience: Carlos is the most professional barber and hairstylist I have had the experience of knowing. With a lifetime's experience of cutting hair and his genuine and caring personality, he constantly exceeds any and all expectations. His knowledge doesn't stop at cutting hair--he brings a mentality of attention to detail, proper communication, and leadership that serves this shop incredibly well. He makes sure Hawk & Fade is cared for and goes above and beyond for each customer from the moment they walk in to their last step out of the shop. I cannot say enough about him and the environment he naturally creates here. If you're looking for a top tier cut every time without question, this is the place, and this is the man!
Fantastic experience: Cool spot and great service! Hard to beat being welcomed with a beer. The staff were super friendly and the haircut was exactly what was asked for! Quick, efficient, and priced affordably. Thank you, Carlos!
Negative experience: Yesterday I visited this barbershop for the first time, and while I left with a good haircut, I also left feeling frustrated and with a headache. At one point, a barber came in he didn’t even look like a barber because he wasn’t wearing the same uniform as the others. He went straight to the music, and while all of us clients were calmly talking with our barbers, he turned the volume up so high that it honestly felt like he did it just to make us stop talking. I think that’s really disrespectful to both the customers and his coworkers, who were working peacefully. My advice to the owner is that employees with that kind of defiant attitude are better off out of the team. I say this as a business owner myself with more than 20 employees it’s better to let people like that go, because they’re the ones who give your business a bad impression and hurt its reputation.
Fantastic experience: I had been looking for a great place to get my hair cut, and I am very satisfied. Payton did a fantastic job, she has great attention to detail and was very kind. I definitely will be returning.
Fantastic experience: Been coming for a few months now, my barber Payton S. always hooks me up with a clean cut and some good conversation. Definitely makes the longer drive worth it. Definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a new shop.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely great experience. If you are looking for a great and professional haircut then book with Payton. You won’t be disappointed.
Fantastic experience: If you’re looking for a fade, shape up, or beard trim, Payton will hook you up. I’ve never had haircuts looking this good in my life! It’s well worth the price and the drive! I will definitely be back.
Fantastic experience: Peyton is the BEST barber at this shop. She always does such a good job with my haircut! ♀️
Negative experience: When you go to places like this, you expect a certain level of expertise — especially when their website claims they have experienced professionals. Unfortunately, my experience was quite the opposite. It was, without exaggeration, the worst haircut I’ve ever had. I understand it can sometimes be difficult to explain exactly what you want, but I even showed a photo for reference. For someone who truly knows what they’re doing, that should’ve made the job simple. Instead, the result was far from what I asked for. Very disappointed overall.
Fantastic experience: My son got a low taper fade by Sierra. He liked his haircut alot. I took my son to multiple haircut places and he would always be disappointed with the outcome. He liked this place and said he wants to come back to Hawk & Fade next time. The place is very nice and clean. The people there are very nice and friendly.
Negative experience: No respect for appointment times. Had a 6:45 appointment, showed up early. Person checking people in lets me know that the person my appointment was with was running a little late. At 7 when he was finishing the haircut of the customer in front of me, the customer’s kid then gets on the chair and he starts a new haircut. What’s the point of making an appointment?
Fantastic experience: Got my hair cut by Sierra they did a great job, hot towel after the beard trim was a really nice touch
Fantastic experience: Showed up five minutes early and was greeted right away with a cold beer can’t beat that kind of hospitality. My chair was already open and ready with Spencer, who was super friendly and professional. The haircut turned out great fade was sharp and clean, and he finished it off with a razor shave to line up my beard perfectly. Great experience from start to finish. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Carlos is awesome! Experienced and skilled, he can take what you tell him and absolutely nail it. Best cut I’ve had in years!
Fantastic experience: I found my New Barber Shop!!!! Wanted to try some place new to get my hair cut and I was NOT disappointed one bit with Hawk & Fade. Paul was great, easy to talk to and very knowledgeable!! Wasn’t sure exactly what I wanted he was able to give me a cut I really enjoy! He also trimmed up my beard and it hasn't looked that good in months!!! I will definitely be coming back to see Paul in the future.
Fantastic experience: This was my first time at a Barber Shop. I had Paul and he was absolutely incredible. Super personable guy. I can tell the crew works well together. They were vibing well and the t was a fun atmosphere. Everyone was friendly and the place smells good with a nice ambiance. I will definitely be a retuning customer.
Negative experience: Booked a first time appointment online. Get there on time and they check me in. Tell me it will be a few minutes. 22 minutes after my appointment starts and they take a walk in customer in front of me, they ask if I’ve been helped. The person who checked me in says nothing so I respond, I had an appointment that was supposed to start 22 minutes ago. They go to the computer and say they’ll call the barber to let them know I’m there. I decided to cancel the appointment. What’s the point of an appointment if they aren’t going to honor it. I wouldn’t waste your time coming here. Plenty of other great barbers within a mile. Take your business elsewhere!!!
Fantastic experience: Very happy with my haircut! Sierra was very detailed and careful, and very good at listing to the haircut I wanted while also giving feedback on what would look best. Will definitely be back
Fantastic experience: I had a great experience. If you want a great fade and your beard lined up, Yanil is the one to see. I live in Asheville but will be back!
Fantastic experience: Went in there after a really bad fade from a salon, thought I might need to shave my head. Yanil hooked me up and fixed it no problem. Great service I'll definitely be back for my next cut.
Fantastic experience: Hawk and Fade has the best barbers around! This was my first time getting a haircut anywhere other than GreatClips and I can confidently say I will never go back to them again. I wasn’t fully sure of the style I wanted to get so I asked my barber Payton for some suggestions to fit my face and to do whatever she thought would look best on me. I booked the appointment with extra time to ensure I could get a quality haircut, and Payton definitely delivered. Great work and great service!
Fantastic experience: I love this place. Carlos is my hair guru (pixie for the win) and my two sons and husband get their hair done here as well. The talent at this shop is out of this world!!!
Fantastic experience: Absolutely top-notch service! My experience at Hawk & Fade was fantastic from start to finish. The atmosphere was clean, welcoming, and relaxed. Payton really knows her craft—attention to detail, great conversation, and most importantly, a flawless haircut. She took the time to listen to what my boys wanted and made sure everything was perfect before they left the chair. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a skilled and professional barber. We’ll definitely be back!
Fantastic experience: 10/10 cut from Jermaine, and had a great conversation with them throughout. I will definitely be back, and would highly recommend H&F to anyone who hasn’t been
Fantastic experience: I want to give a huge shoutout to Carlos for the great job he did on my hair! I have had alopecia for a couple years now and my appointment with him was my first haircut in 3 years since my hair has now grown back. I do still have some small bald spots from my condition, but when i told him that and how I wanted it cut, he went straight into action. He was very polite and extremely careful and meticulous with my hair. Being gentle and explaining every step along the way, and why he was doing it. He even cut it in small sections to make sure the hair laid right and covered my small remaining bald spots. I couldn’t be more happy with the conclusion, as I left feeling very happy and confident. The respect and care was top notch so I would definitely suggest Hawk & Fade to anyone, and to especially book my boy Carlos!
Negative experience: My fiancé received a very poor haircut from here and they booked him for the wrong service. He has a spot on the back of his head he specifically always ask for barbers to keep covered and the girl cutting his hair cut it way too short and you can see the spot. It’s really the only thing they could have messed up and they did so he won’t be coming back here unfortunately.
Fantastic experience: Amazing Barber shop with a talented Barber named Yanil. His cut was on point and he brings a suave Miami style. He is a Master Fader... ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Fantastic experience: I had an amazing experience with Sierra! I gave them full creative freedom to do what best for me, and Sierra, absolutely nailed it. The attention to detail, precision, and overall professionalism were top notch. My haircut turned out even better than I expected. Sierra is the one to go to. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: I experienced this place and the barber was named Paul. I had heard about him by my other friends. He was great. He does short hair, fades and beards. The people I know who have been to him are all happy and they are all different ages young and old. He does all kinds of hair white hair and African hair. The place is great. I really relaxed.
Fantastic experience: Best barbershop hands down in Charlotte. Don’t waste your time looking anywhere else. Carlos is a wizard with clippers & scissors, and the other barbers/stylists are very professional and skilled at their craft. Very nice atmosphere. I can’t wait for my next cut.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been going here for almost a year now and haven’t received a bad haircut. Great place to get your beard trimmed too. I’ve had Carlos, Spencer and Mandi cut my hair. All great!
Fantastic experience: Carlos did a great job, I got a taper fade. I’ve been looking for barbers in Charlotte for a while, being from Orlando. Carlos got it done, also great guy.
Fantastic experience: Definitely would recommend checking out this spot, and book with Jermaine. He is one of the best barbers I’ve found in Charlotte with good skills, listens to what you want and just all around good guy to get your cut from. Will be back and booking another cut with Jermaine. ….don’t usually leave reviews but had to bc Jermaine is that good.
Fantastic experience: Just finished getting a cut with Carlos. Came in from out of town and just popped in as a walk in. No wait time. Carlos took care of me immediately Gave me a great cut low fade with a comb over hard part. Great conversation 10/10 would recommend
Fantastic experience: Carlos! Carlos! Carlos! Singing his praises Aye look guys & Gals my guy Carlos is here at hawk and fade. Been getting a hair cut from him for some time and I follow him faithfully where ever he goes. Cut was and is always top quality. Great barber don’t hesitate he will get you straight from who’s that to I need that! My baby mama always know a Carlos haircut she want me back all of a sudden lmao! Thank you for the great conversation and consistent work!
Fantastic experience: My 1st Visit to your Kernersville store. Miranda was Great ! She cut my hair exactly the way I wanted it styled. Everyone in Kernersville should visit their location there !!
Positive experience: Not my regular store , i had to get an emergency cut and decided to visit this shop. Had a decent experience, i guess for me the chemistry between client and barber matters, thats why i probably stick to one barber. One time experience was fine. Very unique shop tho, love the wall with jordans, very creative.
Fantastic experience: Just got my haircut with Mandi L. I can’t say how much I recommend getting a cut with her. She was extremely interested in doing exactly what I was looking for AND recommending what she thought would help, which turned out amazing. Everyone should book with her. Thank you so much Mandi!
Fantastic experience: Mandi knows what she is doing! I’ve been looking for a good cut for months with several barbers. I came in told her the general idea of what I was wanting and she made it look perfect! Awesome job and highly recommend.
