Sasha is amazing and this place is so chill. Easy to make appointments online in advance. Got a great cut and shave for $45+tip. Not the cheapest haircut I've gotten, but between the hot towel, post-cut clean-up, and all-natural hair products they use, it's worth it. Sasha tajyes care around my cowlicks and styles around them in a way that results in some of the best haircuts I've gotten in recent memory.read more

This place is great. Have been to another good neighborhood spot but figured I’d give this a try. Great experience be being able to make an appointment online, tip with PayPal or Venmo, pay with a card, etc. Barber was really cool, telling me tips I never knew. I really liked the haircut and beard trim, definitely will be back.read more

45$ (plus tip) for a haircut, beard trim, and a bourbon on the rocks while I waited. Staff is friendly and determined to leave you satisfied with your cut. Prior, I'd been cutting my own hair for 16 years, but I will probably end up a return customer here. The service and the value seem hard to beat.read more

I’ve been getting my hair cut with this shop since they’ve been open and ever since then I’ve never received more compliments about how sharp my fade and styling is. The staff is beyond friendly and accommodating. They offer a wide variety of top of the line products and services. If you don’t know about this place or have never been, do yourself a favor and get your next haircut here. You’ll feel right at home and walk out with the best haircut you’ve ever had!read more

I'm kind of undecided on if I'll go back or not. The place is comfortable and staff is welcoming. My haircut was done very well but the reason I visited a new place was for the beard trim. The service provided was excellent, hot towel, friendly conversation. But I didnt feel like the final cut was worth the trouble of spending the extra money and traveling out of my neighborhood. Maybe one of the other barbers specialize in beards and would be worth the second try. But without really having any idea who is better at what I'm not sure id take the chance here or try somewhere else.read more

Edit: Gave them another shot. This time I went for just a beard trim. Andrew did an excellent job. Trimmed my beard the way ive been trying unsuccessfully myself to do. Took the time to try and teach me how to do it myself. I'll give the 5th star if my next visit is this good.I'm kind of undecided on if I'll go back or not.

When I originally moved to Philly about a year ago I was bouncing around from shop to shop and never found a cut that I was happy with. Since then I have found Philadelphia Barber Co and have been going here religiously for a little over 6 months now. The cuts from Jose are always consistently excellent at very affordable rates. Every time I go in he knows exactly what I want, and I always leave happy. I highly recommend Philadelphia Barber Co especially if you were like me bouncing around from shop to shop.read more

Overall, a solid barbershop. I've been to about 4 different staff members and all of them did a good job. Cool environment. The downsides are that they lack availability, likely because they offer these "clean up" slots. If you have a busy schedule or have to work around your work schedule, good luck. Also, kind of pricey for the value.What prompted me to write this review is the "Clean up" service that they offer. Its 15 min, and $20. I'm going out of town and couldn't find an actual haircut slot, but I really only need a hold-me -over - nothing to the top, or styling or anything. Well, we had 15 minutes. I asked if she could just clean up my neck and take the sides in a little tighter. Didn't really think this was a big ask, considering its the price of an actual haircut in the rest of the world. She said "oh actually you got the clean up, so we just trim the edges around the back". I felt like leaving, since I can ask someone to do that in 2 minutes for free. Since I already blocked off time for work and walked all the way over there, I sat while she kept pretending to do extra work around my neckline to fill up 15 minutes. probably the biggest waste of time and money I'll have all of this year.This would all be fine, if I had any idea what I was getting into when scheduling, it would be on me. Online it's vague - "clean up". I found out the hard way.read more

Jess was great. Thanks for the haircut and conversation. The owner was funny. He was eating two slices of pizza and talking about how his beard made him want to use a fork to eat it. Atmosphere was great. Kind, friendly, professional, and organized. I see some people didn't like it. That's a head scratcher to me. (shrug) I turned down the beer on tap (is it free?) I had to get to work afterwards. But definitely appreciate the nice touches making this shop unique and welcoming. Skate videos! Wut?Tip to new customers: they accept venmo or cash only to tip, so make sure you're able to do one of those before you go. The nearest ATM is a couple blocks away. No biggie though. :)read more
