I had a very disappointing experience here. The haircut was poor quality, and everything felt rushed. They clearly didn’t take their time, especially with the beard trim. The barber simply ran the trimmer over my beard for less than a minute and charged $35 for it. They didn’t properly clean up the edges, and I left with small stray hairs above my beard line because it wasn’t cut correctly. They also didn’t use a razor for a clean finish, just the beard trimmer. Honestly, you would get better results trimming your beard at home yourself and I’m not exaggerating.

Terrible haircut. They will shave you like you're a sheep and make your head like a boiling egg. The outcome is nothing like what in the reference photo and they charge for $27 (only accept cash) for a single man's haircut.

Terrible experience. Please avoid the younger man on staff — he clearly doesn’t know how to cut hair or handle different hair types, and communication was almost impossible. The result was nothing like what I asked for. Would not recommend.

I absolutely despise this spot. They cut my husband’s hair before our wedding - the back hairline was very sloppy and the hairs on the side of his head were uneven (like left vs right) - how does this even happen when you’re using clippers with set lengths? Additionally, my husband said he asked for a slight trim, and they cut his hair nearly down to the scalp on the sides - the shortest hairs around his neck and ears were 2-3 mm long. This was highly inappropriate and too short for a wedding. This place seems to do the exact same haircut for everyone where the hairs are maybe 2-3mm long as they fade out at the bottom. Even if you ask for modifications or for longer hair, they do NOT listen - like a one trick pony. With this level of disregard, they shouldn’t even be charging $25-30 - that rate assumes they can at minimum make modifications to length. This is more like an $8-12 haircut where you come in and they do the exact same haircut for everyone. Lastly, I called them politely to ask if they could even out the hair, and the guy didn’t understand me because of the language barrier. Instead of even trying to use a translator or have someone else get on the phone, he used a very rude tone as if I was inconveniencing him and then hung up on me. Even though this place is cheap, you get even less than you pay for - my husband was better off before the cut than after. I’d give this place negative 10 stars if I could.

There are masters of the job. Last year, in my first experience, it wasn't very good, but later on, master Lee was an expert and preferential.

*2025 prices are $27-28* Good, efficient, and affordable priced cut ($26-27). Whole haircut took 20-25 minute long. Would definitely come again! -Came in on Saturday 1130am time. Pretty busy, About 4-5 barbers, all chairs were getting cut. But pretty efficient, didn't have to wait long (may vary). -Walk-ins OK. I called number, to ensure they have spots open! Recommend calling. -Asked for high fade and scissor trim on top. -Cash or personal check only. No Venmo, No Card.

A simple and fast experience. You walk in point at picture of the haircut and pay up 25$ and walk away. With the cost and speed, I think they are doing the best job possible. Really appreciate the folks here to keep things simple and affordable.

Great place to get a basic crew cut, dare I say the best place! I was in and out within half an hour, received a terrific looking crew cut, and only paid $25. I’ve had my haircut at a smattering of places across the nation and Campus Barber Shop is the best I have experienced. Can’t beat the price and quality.

No frills, local shop with talented barbers. Expect a good fade to take 15 mins and cost $25. Walk-ins only, but their line is normally short (1-3 people) and they normally have a number of barbers on staff at any time. Cash only.

Out of town and had to get a haircut. I went in the morning and was instantly seated. The gentleman did a great job on my fade and it was very inexpensive ($25) compared to places where I'm from. Recommended.
