Had to deduct a few stars. The price was a bit high for my tax bracket @ $30 for the cut, style and razor; Now they're up to $40 but added a wash to justify the raise. $30 was about mineupper limit, almost a splendor. Great place, top notch talent but lots of other places out there. I have to leave it to the Starbucks crowds to make the big bucks.Continue reading

The best haircut I've ever gotten. Alex is the man. Very competent hair technician. Prepare to sit for 40-60 minutes as they are very detailed in their work. Worth every penny, come back every 2weeks.Continue reading

By far the best place to get your hair cut. Also LOVE the new laundry service, and you get an extra 15 minutes. The best fade I've ever gotten. Jack is amazing.

Prices may be high, but this really is a "you get what you pay for" situation. Every time I get in shape, I get numerous compliments on my hair. The hairdressers are all real and the mood is rightThe place is great. Fair warning it's a barber shop, you might hear a few cuddling. Also, you definitely want to book an appointment through their website. They're usually so busy that they don't have too many places open for walk-in customers. Also, Tommy is the best.Continue reading

I recently had a haircut from Jack at the Wanamassa shop and I couldn't have been happier. The ambiance of the store itself makes me feel like I'm staying in a cozy cabin and the staffmakes me feel like all my friends are there. Jack is undoubtedly a master of his craft. He was attentive to my requests for the style of editing I was going for and added his own suggestions, which are always appreciated. Needless to say I was beyond thrilled with my experience and would highly recommend anyone to book an appointment with Jack!!Continue reading

This place is undoubtedly fantastic. I have had a beard for 8 years and I usually grow it and take care of it myself along with my hair. Once or twice a year my beard and hair need a professionalTrim to reset (split/break/transparency) and that's the only place I go. This time I had Amber and she did an excellent job. She took her time and even gave recommendations on what hair/beard style would look best. She was very knowledgeable about all things hair and beard. Sometimes a big beard can be intimidating for some places; not this place. I may not go as often but as little as possible I always go looking and feeling great! Thank you very much!Continue reading

I highly recommend making an appointment with one of the barbers at one of their shops in Wannamassa or Asbury!Continue reading
