Description

Nic Grooming Barbershop was born from three generations of Philadelphia barbers. The Berardi men, took notice of the lack of men’s specialty barber shops in Philadelphia. They used their expertise in men’s haircutting to create the ultimate ‘old school’ barbershop experience in Center City Philadelphia. Nic Grooming is the ultimate blend of old-school craftsmanship and modern technology. It provides a premier barbershop experience and offers haircuts, straight razor shaves, and color blending at $50 each.

Excellent experience! Needed a new place to get my hair cut in the center city area and I came to the right place. Heather was incredibly helpful and skillful with the scissor and beard trim.

Great barbershop! Jack is my favorite and works the 20th street location on Tuesdays. If you’re looking for a fresh fade with good vibes, look no further.

I can tell my barber knew what he was doing; he explained reasoning behind what he was doing. I’ve received a lot of compliments on my subtle modern mullet.

Was looking for a proper barber in Philly after years of GreatClips cuts, having just moved here from out of state. Did a lot of research and asked for a recommendation from friends, and Marissa was AWESOME. My hair looks exactly how I wanted it to!Also—a VERY safe shop for women and transgender people! I didn't feel out of place or uncomfortable at all. If you're like me (a butch woman looking for a good and inclusive barber), I can't recommend Nic Grooming enough.read more

I recently visited this barber shop, and I can confidently say it's a cut above the rest. From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by the welcoming atmosphere and friendly staff. The barbers here are true professionals, and their attention to detail is remarkable. My haircut turned out exactly as I envisioned, and I left feeling more confident than ever. I'll definitely be returning for all my future grooming needs. Five stars well-deserved!read more

For my first time visiting a barber shop, I could not be more impressed. Dylan was great throughout the whole process, giving me possible options and tips for the cut and for styling. He gave me a lot of information to use for the next time around. The haircut came out great and I look forward to the next time around.read more

I have been searching for a good haircut stylist in Philly since I moved here six months ago! I tried different hairstylist, and none of them were good enough. I have very fine and pixie haircut, so that can be tricky. Until I found Yana! She is super talented and sweet! She corrected my haircut, and now my hair is stunning again! So, if you are looking for unique haircuts, look no further! Book with Yana! She is the best! ☺️🥰read more

I have never been to Nic grooming before. Yesterday I walked in and was immediately greeted by the 2 barbers, Dillon and Mark. I haven't been in a barbershop in Philadelphia and am new to the area. I have my regular barber back home in New Jersey who has been cutting my hair forever. So I am used to getting the skin fade and razor line up. Mark cut my hair, and after we talked for a little bit about the particulars and how I usually get cut, man, he went to work! I felt so comfortable, with a free cold beer and the awesome conversation, I can tell anyone that I feel like I literally got the best fade and finishing work with the straight razor that I have ever had in my life. I got a shampoo before the haircut and a wash on the way out the door. I never felt so fresh! Thank you Mark, I will definitely be returning!!!read more

The place looks nice and the barber was friendly enough but I just paid $50 for a bad haircut. He started to cut it as a part, which I didn’t ask for, then I had to tell him four times that it was uneven. I get home and I found that the left side was still really uneven and I fixed it myself.Also, walk ins only and as soon as I got in the only free barber went on lunch so I waited like twenty minutes. The person on the phone wasn’t very polite when I asked for an appointment. It’s so hard to find a trustworthy barber in Philly. I won’t be back at this oneread more
