I live nearby and tried different barber shops before. It’s been two years since I started going here and I am a happy customer since then. Both Alex and Josef are great. I usually just walk in and have a haircut with either of them who is available. If I have to count, I would say the majority of times that was Josef. This guy is really accurate and thorough with details. He always gives me a really good haircut. Good job bro 👍 Cheers, Max

I have lived in the neighborhood for nearly 20 years and tried many different barbershops. Alex, the owner, gives the best cut around. He is reliable and attentive to the tiniest details. He also has a great dry sense of humor.

Nearly 38 years I’ve been on this planet and never have I had a haircut so good. Alex (great name btw) did an amazing job cutting my hair in a way where it just sorta holds its style a month later and requires such little maintenance for it to look right. In the past I’ve always used hair product to tame frizzy or messy hair, and for some reason this time around my hair basically just stays where I want it to. I could kind of tell he was cutting with greater expertise than a lot of the past barbers I’ve gone to. A lot of times barbers will just use a comb and an electric razor, maybe with some scissors at the end, but this time it was mostly scissors except for little touchups and fine-tuning. I’ll definitely be returning and highly recommend this spot, and Alex!

I’ve been getting my hair cut by Alex for the past year, and I couldn’t be happier. Every time, I leave with a clean, precisely cut, and expertly shaped haircut. His background as a professional hairstylist clearly shows in the quality and attention to detail he brings to his work. The shop itself has a great vibe too—quiet and relaxed, tucked away on the lively Columbus Avenue.

I had a really disappointing visit and won’t be returning. The barber was friendly, but he only did the bare minimum—a straight-across cut with no attention to detail. I clearly explained what I wanted, but he rushed through it and seemed stressed. To make matters worse, the owner, Alex, tried to charge me $50—significantly more than the price listed online—for what turned out to be the worst haircut I’ve ever had, and he was extremely rude about it. I left feeling very unsatisfied and taken advantage of. I would not recommend this place, and Alex needs to learn to check his attitude.

Came with my brother this time for his haircut. He was very happy with the way it came out, glad we made an apt online the process was fast and easy. Love the energy and cleanliness of this place.

Accommodating of walk in’s however I can see how having an appointment would be best, as this place stays very busy. Very clean and professional salon with laid back, quiet atmosphere. A good place to sit and relax while enjoying a trim

I came in with high hopes to get a good haircut. I thought I was specific enough with what I wanted my hair to be. As I arrived for my 5:30pm appointment with Alex, I was told to wait as he just started someone else’s haircut. I must have waited 15-20 minutes. I cannot express my dissatisfaction with my haircut. I asked for a light trim on the top and now have only my bangs long with the back, starting mid crown, practically buzzed off. he free handed the top with the clippers which left divots/choppy hair. Alex also left razor burns on my neck that still sting well after the cut was done. Overall, Alex rushed to get through my cut and didn’t seem to care about me or what I specifically asked for and did not ask along the way throughout the cut until it was too late and all done. Highly disappointed, will not recommend.
