The best barber place I've been to in a long time. And they did a great job with my beard. A very fun place to go and get your hair done or beard.

I absolutely love this place & the stylists. Atmosphere is fun and welcoming. I had Seren cut my hair last month and she made it look pretty and healthy. Went back last week last minute on a whim to get it cut short and asymmetrical because I didn't have the guts at the time I saw Seren. Tory cut my hair this time and she did exactly what I wanted. Very happy with both of my experiences here. Thanks Seren & Tory!read more

This is by far the best barbershop in York. While my barber of choice is Rick, every single person who works here manages to be both quite interesting and incredibly skilled at the profession. Leave your apprehensions and prejudices at the door and you’ll be treated to a good conversation and excellent haircut. I recommend making an appointment or going in on the odd hours of a weekday. Waits can get long, but the quality of the work is more than worth that wait.read more

Traveled from NYC to this location since I was told they have someone who does wonders on dreads. Rick was able to clean up and tighten all 61 of my dreadlocks. They do all types of hair, friendly staff, and I'll definitely be traveling back to get future dreadwork maintenance done here!read more

I always thought getting my haircut was a chore and dreaded doing it. Now it’s one of the highlights of the day since I’ve been coming to this joint. Keep up the great work dudes.

I love this place. They just give great men's haircuts. Real quality time and effort put into every cut. They don't cheap out on anything. Heated shave lotion, experienced suggestions, and they take the proper time to do everything right without cutting corners (pun intended). Also, they have coffee!read more

Just moved to York and needed a place to get my son’s hair cut. Picked this place because it looked cool and edgy. Grew up in a household of barbers and hairdressers who owned small salons, so not a big fan of chain places. My son has the thickest most unruly hair imaginable, but being a teenager he still wants a stylish look, and Smiling John did an amazing job. I have taken my son to a multitude of salons in the past trying to get him a decent cut, and this by far is one of the best, if not the best haircut, my son has ever gotten. Amazing clipper skills! John really took his time making sure the cut was even and perfect. Looked great! Completely impressed. Plan to come here from now on. Price was reasonable and inline with other salon prices.read more

Fantastic! Seren was wonderful and I love my cut! They're doing a great job of following covid protocols. My temp was slightly elevated at first so I sat for a few minutes for a retake and was fine. It's very reassuring to see businesses actually follow protective measures. Everyone was super nice and seriously, my first haircut in months and I feel like a million bucks. Thank you!!!read more

A former coworker and great friend named Jason works here, I'll admit, he generally cuts my hair a bit shorter than I intend, but it always looks great, he is friendly, fairly priced, pays attention to detail and does a great job, while its always shorter than I generally want, I've never gotten a bad cut from him. Jon and Didi the owners are always friendly, love their customers, their barbers and stylists and the community, they are a corner stone of York on Duke St. and one of my favorite local businesses. Pamper yourselves gentleman, and do it here at this local business, they always have a smile and a cold beer for you when you walk in, I won't go anywhere else in York. Great place for a straight shave too!read more

Called to see availability and if appointment was needed. Some do appointments and some don’t. Barry did, had a tight schedule but got me in near the holidays when they were very busy. I’m a tough hair cut because I’ve got blond hair that shows every line and imperfection, if there are any. It’s been a real task for me FOREVER to find great, not good, great stylists or barbers. Barry killed it!! Me never having been here before or trying his ability was a gamble but it couldn’t have been better while traveling through this town and I highly recommend this shop because of it. Thank y’all for caring about quality here over quantity, hard to find! Great place, and genuine people to talk with while getting cut.read more
