Matt is a very talented barber and even better person. Always generous, kind and welcoming to all with a giant smile on his face. I wish there was a 6th star available because he deserves it. Highly recommend!

AWESOME place!! After trying what seems like 100 different places, my son finally found his place! Matt did a great job and my son loves his new cut. Make the drive to Apex and support this small local business. You will not be disappointed!!

I moved down here about 1.5 years ago and have tried about 10 different barbers in the area that have just not cut it (literally)..... until I tried this place. Matt is awesome. Great guy and even better cut. He takes him time to make sure he gives you exactly what you’re looking for. This is the first haircut I’ve had since moving here that I’m legitimately happy with. He crushed it and it’s safe to say I won’t be going anywhere else. I can’t recommend this guy enough. You should definitely be going here if you’re not already.

Look, I rarely write reviews, but Matt is too good not to review. Ive been to many barbers in the area and Ive gotten haircuts ranging from What is this?! to Itll do, but I never got Damn, thats perfect...until I went to Matt. Matt was dead on time, friendly, accommodating and gave the best fade Ive had in the area.Do yourself a favor and skip the guys handing out choppy fades and go see Matt to have it done right.

I love going here to get a haircut & beard trim from Matt. I used to go to a place right down the road that never did a great job. One day I stopped in to see Matt & he cleaned up the bad job they did for me. He is easy to schedule with, knows exactly what I want, and always does his best to send me on my way looking my best. He will go over every last detail without me even having to ask. I can tell he takes pride in his work and never wants to send someone out not feeling confident in their haircut.I seriously cannot recommend this place enough. I just recommend calling ahead as he can be busy or stopping in to see when he has an availability. Go check it out, you wont regret it!!

If you havent tried this spot yet, youre wrong! I now know why you need to make an appointment a few days in advance. I havent had a cut like this since I got out the military and trust me Ive looked high and low. Matt did his thing and you can tell he takes pride in what he does! Ill be a regular going forward! Got me looking on point!Word of adviceIf you walk into a spot trying to get your hair cut on the fly, you dont really care how your hair looks. Make the appointment cause its 100% worth it!

The BEST barber in the area! My son has been to different barbers in the area and it would look great when he left but grow in terrible. You could tell it really wasnt a good cut. Matt is amazing and consistent every time. My sons hair grows in perfectly. Matt is a true artist. We wouldnt go anywhere else!

Review №22

Found Matt on Google and glad I did. Best haircut and beard trim Ive had in years. I called, in advance, to schedule an appointment and Matt was flexible about fitting me in, which I truly appreciate. Once I was in the chair, he listened to what I wanted and I left with a haircut and trimmed beard that exceed my expectations.The shop vibe is straight-forward and relaxed. Matt provides top notch customer service. Whatever your cut or styling preferences, Matt has the skill and attention to detail to deliver all your tonsorial needs.I have tried most of the other barber shops in the area and there is a reason Long Island Barbers has the top ratings and best reviews - Matt earned every one of them. I will be a repeat customer from now on and you should be too.

Highly recommend Matt. He is professional and always accommodates the day/time when a haircut is needed. He is an expert at his craft and I frequently receive compliments on my haircuts. Additionally, my two sons (10 & 8) love getting their haircuts by Mr. Matt. He is great with the boys and they are always so happy with the finished product.

The only barbershop in the whole triangle with culture. If you want a clean cut at a good price you cant go wrong. Not to mention his in-house dog the size of a nerf football is all the entertainment youll need.

I don’t think that I will ever step foot into another shop/salon. Matt is by far the best around. He’s genuine, funny, down to earth & really good at his job. So glad I found him!!

Review №32

Just went here for the first time after my last stylist left the place she was at and I was very impressed with my cut here. Matt was a great barber that definitely seems to understand what you need before you even tell him, just goes to show his level of experience. Nothing gimmicky about his shop trying to fool you into thinking it is better than it is is, Matt just does a quality cut. Will definitely be coming back and I am super happy to have tried it out!

Review №33

By far the best haircut and beard trim you can get in the triangle area. Matt never rushes a haircut and makes sure not only he thinks it is perfect but that you think it is as well. I have been going to Matt for about a year and refuse to go anywhere else. He is always willing to try and be flexible with his hours to get you in. The vibe in the shop is an extra positive!

Review №36

Matt is awesome!! Ive been going to him since 2016 when he was in Cary. Ive followed him to any shop that he went too. He cuts great and he takes his time. He has a great personality & hands down the best customer service. Hes fair & honest!! In a pinch, he can squeeze you in if he has room in the schedule. However I wouldnt make it a habit if you need a cut on same day unless you go after hours, he is usually booked which means hes great at what he does. I also like the fact that he will cut after-hours if needed and his schedule allows it for an upcharge. Ive done it a few times as I needed a cut when he was booked all day. Remember its his time that you are paying for with the upcharge. If you dont agree with the upcharge fee, make your appointment early for during business hours. Go see Matt, just make sure you call for an appointment ASAP. You wont regret the results!!!

Just moved to North Carolina from New Jersey/New York, and found Matt and his shop on google. Fantastic haircut, solid work all around, super cool and authentic guy and nice vibes in the shop as well, if you want fresh haircut with skill this is a one and only shop for that. Best experience at a barber Iv ever had. 10/10

Long Island Barber is unassuming from the outside but inside you will find the best haircut in Raleigh. Ive been to many barbers since I moved to Raleigh, even The Dominican, and none of them will treat you with the care and respect that Matt at LBI does. He is hands down the best the city has to offer.

Br
Review №41

I’ve been around to most of the barbers in the area - Matt is the cream of the crop. Do you need a fade? Matt kills it. Don’t get butchered at Sports Clips. Don’t be embarrassed walking around with a bad haircut. Give Long Island Barbers a try, you won’t regret it.

I finally found a barber in Apex I like!Saw the sign on the building during the Apex holiday parade, and decided I should check out Long Island Barbers. I am very glad I did.Matt not only gave me the best haircut since I moved from Long Island in 2012, we had a great chat about places in Long Island we both knew. What an enjoyable experience and a great haircut, to boot!Thanks, Matt!

Julian is very attentive to customer needs and gives a precision cut every time! If there’s ever any concern, he checks with you to make sure all is good, and absolutely makes sure that you are happy before you leave. The price is more than reasonable, and backed up with quality work. I followed him from a previous place, which says a lot. You want Julian to give you your next cut! I’m always happy to call him, versus trying to schedule through a big shop. If you want ease of scheduling, personal attention and a great cut.... call Julian! :-) I’m a big fan. :-)

As soon as you step through the door, the atmosphere is welcoming. You’re immediately greeted, and treated like you’re part of a family. Julian and Matt will ensure an amazing hair cut. Beer is offered as you wait. TV’s to keep your kids entertained while you’re getting your hair cut. They even have an amazing shop dog! 10/10 recommend coming here for quality cuts and the people!

I’ve been going to Matt for 6 months now. During my first cut he said “I want to be the last barber you ever see.” As long as he’s in apex I won’t go anywhere else. He takes the time to make sure you love your cut and always is having a good day.

Ryan R- I’ve been coming here for almost three years and won’t go to anyone else. Matt’s the only one I trust making my hair and beard look the best.

Aside from being very professional and thorough, both Matt and Julien are exceptional barbers. I go to Matt and have been very pleased with his work. Great fade and even better scissor work. They offered me a quality cut at a very affordable price. I recommend making an appointment because the shop can fill up quick, it’s worth it.

Review №74

Matt is my barber, better yet I come in for only a beard shave, fabulous job in doing so and is always on point with the shave. He is bad with a razor, and as you know most barbers these days do not know how to use one. I drive 30 minutes out my way for my shave, so worth it. Give this barbershop and chance you will not be disappointed. Thanks Matt for always taking care of me.

I have been taking my son to Matt since he was in Cary. We then followed him to Raleigh and now in Apex at Long Island Barbers. The fact that we didn’t just go to the next local barber says a lot. I love the professionalism, respect, and hospitality. Of course I LOVE the hair services as well. I have recommended several others and speak highly of the service we receive. We will be customers as long as their doors are open!!

Easily the best place to get a quality haircut in Apex NC and quite possibly the Wake County. Matt takes his time and gives you exactly what you want. I showed him a picture of Chris Hemsworth, he gave me Chris Hemsworths haircut. Now I look like....me with Chris Hemsworths haircut. My only regret was not getting a beard trim. Next time for sure.

I’ve been seeing Julian for a while now. Like most guys, I’d rather go to an old school barber shop than the commercial places that pop up everywhere. Julian gives me a perfect cut every time, and the customer service is top class. I highly recommend this establishment to anybody looking to break away from the cursory haircuts you’ll experience at the commercial places.
