Traditional Men's Barber Shop Conveniently Located in South Wilkes-Barre!My teen son and I recently started patronizing Carey's Avenue Barber Shop, and we're absolutely thrilled to have found Dan! The atmosphere is inviting, relaxed, and fun, with a few fully-equipped game tables and light refreshments in the back room to pass any waiting time (or for after-haircut amusement). Dan is a warm, friendly individual who is enjoyable to engage in conversation. Well-rounded and gregarious, Dan seems to enjoy his interactions with his customers, and I always leave having learned something.This shop is great for children, teens, and adults, and Dan is very responsive to customer requests. He ensures he is clear on customers' instructions before the first snip, and his styling and service suggestions are always welcome. Dan is also very skilled in trimming and styling facial hair, so a beard trim and clean-up during my haircut make me feel even more put-together.The best part (for me) is that Dan does not take reservations, so I don't have to worry about fitting a previously-made appointment into my schedule. Still, I have never had to wait for more than two people ahead of me. Even better, he welcomes calls from customers who are on their way, so they can join the wait list before arriving. On such occasions, I have never waited longer than just a couple minutes.Enjoy a hot towel before you go, and don't forget to ask for a loyalty card!read more

Great ambience, interesting conversation, well organized, even a game room! The cut looks terrific and the neck shave is superb. A more than fair price for the cut to boot. Really couldn't ask for much more. My cranium has found a new home.read more

It is extra nice paying a fair price for a great haircut from a professional barber. If you want a place to get a haircut without paying way to much money check this place out. They even do the hot shaving cream on the back of your neck with a strait razor . This Barber shop is extremely clean as well you can tell he has a sense of pride in hus business.read more
