Owner puts me in a chair then goes to go to grab a smoke outside without saying a word to me. I am sitting there waiting for him, then he comes back breathing at me with his stale cigarette breath and no mask.First and last time there. Not a friendly place. Haircut is not good. No one talks to each other or to clients. This is a depressing place to get your haircut especially for $30+. I dont think they really care though.

If you are gonna charge 30 you better line up the hair, know how to line up with a razor. The worst haircut I have ever recieved . I could’ve just went to super cuts and had someone trim it up but lord have mercy . The one place looks nice, the pics are fake on the reviews unless they have another barber.

Zip zap bang boom! Walk in get a great cut super fast! Pricey but worth it. It would be worth another star but it is a $30 cut, suppose the rent is way too high. Takes walk-ins, very little wait time when I visited. Did exactly as I asked without any delays and foo foo. Very pleased.

Liked that it was walk in only and was lucky enough to get Yanni. Got exactly what I needed and the convo was great as well. 10/10 would recommend.

What a great haircut. A bit pricey but good!

I’ve had great cuts here many times but I just left there today because I had been waiting for a little over an hour for my preferred barber - he looks at list and looks at me I say I’m Troy I should be next - then walks over and calls someone else over - I’m done time to find a new barber

The first time I went here I got such a good haircut and was carefully taken care of. The second was not so good and my last was very disappointing. I was in the chair about half the time as my first visit and the two customers who went before me. Not once was I faced towards the huge mirror on the back wall to, you know, see how it was going and when he had already unbuttoned my cape he hands me a mirror to see. (Maybe the chair was broken or something, but still probably the only time I can remember not being turned. Facing directly at those awaiting the whole time was not fun either). I was glad to pay for the first cut but I feel foolish for how much the last two cost.

My boyfriend needed a military cut and they didn’t fade his haircut. It was Choppy, looked cut off and like they didn’t switch out the razor heads because it most certainly was not smooth.

Never had a bad cut. Walk ins and appointments! Great group of folks too.

Asked for basic short hair on the sides with a hard part down the center. $30 hair cut. I have never been to a barber before usually going to a Sports Clips or something like that, and I dont feel like it was worth it. They hard parted my hair, and the guy pressed the clipper so hard on my scalp that it cut my head down the center. The back of my head has some dark red marks, but they were not as bad as what is on top. The back of my head also was shaved much shorter on the left side than it was on the right.When I went back to complain, I ended up getting my money back, but they did not fix the back of my head, and they did not even apologize for their work.

Good conversation with barber very friendly and enjoyed conversation. There was no wait. Biggest issue is the price 50 for a hair cut and beard shape up hit me by surprise. It’s not in the nice part of town. I did see the prices in the board, but usually that’s À la carte. I did not expect a beard shape up would be a $20 trim. For that price I would expect a hot towel shave or even a beer or wine.

Came here while on vacation in Asheville, very nice and clean place. Waited 15 minutes and the barber took care of my hair and beard. Took about 30 minutes. Used a straight razor on my neck. Very expensive but I completely understand the high prices when you get good service. Left a tip as well.

Consistent and friendly. Would highly recommend

I was referred by a friend for my son, hes 20. Great experience, fast paced and clean. I believe hansel cut his hair. Will be returning.

We really appreciated the polite service. My son is 7 and we have been to other barber shops before where they are annoyed when a young client shows up. While my son is capable of sitting still for a long period of time he didn’t have to here. They were quick but also detailed in their work. Thank you Safet for doing a great job! We will be back.

Arturos always gives the best haircuts. My two teenage sons have very different hair types and like different styles. They are always happy with their haircuts when they leave, which was rare before we started coming here. Consistently great cuts, fast, and friendly.

Let me begin my review by saying how neurotic I am about my haircuts... I like an old school, vintage pompadour style. After doing tons of research, I still couldnt find a local barbershop that either specialized, or at least had good reviews about this specific style of cutting. (Unfortunately for those cutting my hair) My hair is very curly, and I have to blow dry it straight to manage this style. I tried a few shops downtown and around Asheville but I was never completely satisfied with the cuts I received. For some reason, the word traditional gets tossed around a lot here and can be very misleading.I found Arturos Barbershop on Google and decided to give them a shot... And boy am I glad I did. I came in at a good time and got to sit down with the man himself, Arturo. After giving him all of the warnings about how complicated and unmanageable my hair can be, he got to work. I brought a picture with me and explained how I wanted things and he listened and executed to a T.All of the staff here is very professional and willing to strike up a conversation. The entire shop was very clean and all safety standards were being upheld. I dont even know where to start with how happy I am to have finally found a shop to call home. Do yourself a favor and stop in and see how great they are for yourself, you will not regret it.

I was hoping to have a good experience but that was not the case. I booked a haircut with Arturo and I could tell he has skills, but he didnt listen at all to my request. First he cut my hair in like ten minutes almost like he was rushing. I asked him not to fade my hair too high like I was back in the Army. Well, that exactly what he did. I couldnt really tell until I got home. He gave me a high and tight and blended it. Very disappointed and unhappy. I felt like if he would have taken a couple of minutes to make sure he understood my request and didnt rush it would have been a positive outcome.

Arturo provides a great cut, at a reasonable price. One of the few places that actually solicits customers instructions and is able to deliver on them. The only slight negative is the lack of appointments...currently walk-in only. Best hair cut in South Asheville.

Closed 3 hours earlier than posted hours...

Art was the real deal, he did a great cut. Also does great beard work. Definitely my new place to go. Friendly and professional.

My man Oscar. Let me tell you if you want the best haircut you can possibly get Oscar is the man. He is truly a wizard behind the scissors best of the best. Great personality, very spiritual and makes you feel like your at home. Highly recommended to anyone and everyone would go back any day.

The shop itself is fine, nothing stood out as exceptional. It was approximately $40 for a hair cut and a bears trim. The gentleman who cut me did a fantastic job on my beard, the whole process seem to take about 40-50 minutes which longer than I think is necessary, considering how little hair I have. Arturo himself was highly recommended, wish I had a chance to sit in his chair.

Very expensive for two haircuts. Adult and a child under 5 was $60.. the adult hair cut by Arturo is very nice; however charging $25 for a child haircut that was maybe 2 different guards and 5 minutes worth of work is ridiculous to me.

My guy went to get his beard trimmed up and came back raving about this guy Carlos. His energy is amazing and he is awesome to talk with... Plus his face looked great when he got back... so I went to see Carlos too.I have short hair and usually I cut it myself so it was.. creative. Now is has epic layers and yes Carlos is AWESOME! I wish my hair would grow faster so I can see him again. He is new to the community so I wanted to give him a shout out and if anyone wants a spiritual cleanse and stylish vamp... Go See Him!

Hanzel did a great job

Got a much needed hair cut my barber suset was so professional straight to business yes you could get a cheaper cut but thats what you will get these guys are awesome

Ogi was great! Did an awesome job giving my teenage son a brand new cut. He is very happy! Clean, professional shop. We will be back!

Ask for Carlos. Came for a haircut—walked away feeling more human (and with an excellent fade).Today was my first visit to Arturo’s Barbershop, but it will certainly not be my last.I experienced Carols as an expert in his craft and wonderfully, genuinely human.I will return again, and I can personally recommend Carlos‘ craftsmanship.

Awesome hair cuts and beard trims

Always get a great haircut. Can get a shave here also.

I took our son here for the first time today, after struggling to find him a barber who could deliver what he wanted. Hands down what he received today was the best haircut he’s ever gotten! The barber listened, asked questions and he walked out of there like a new person! Several people have commented about the prices however, we’ve been to multiple shops and the prices are comparable to other shops in the area. You get what you pay for and if you’re wanting a cheap cut then that’s probably what your haircut is going to look like when you leave...cheap. We will definitely be back here!

Hello everyone I use to work here with really cool barbers. I just recently opened my own barber shop. If you like the photos of my work and wish to receive a haircut by me you can book your appointment at Carlosthebarberruiz.booksy.com

Walk ins only but my wait time was short. One of the best haircuts Ive ever had, very impressive. Id recommend this place to any guy looking for a good cut.

Stopped in and got a great cut by Maurice. Very happy to have found someone who really knows how to make a cut look perfect. Thanks!

Best cut of my life.

Great haircut! These guys do you right. As good or better than downtown, plus I dont have to pay to park!

Arturo have the best haircut Ive had in years! Caution during lunch, even though Arturo had designated parking, the biscuit place gets packed. Definitely will be back for my next cut

Great haircut every time Ive been to there

I love This Barbershop?! i highly recommend this place and you will get exqctly what you ask for.

Definitely a blast from the past and relaxed atmosphere. The prices are a bit on the high side for the area they are in. Very friendly and professional staff and a very clean shop. I will continue to be served by this establishment even though the prices are a bit higher than I was paying in December 2018. Try it you will like it!

A positive atmosphere, skilled barbers, and easy, free parking makes this one of Ashevilles best barber shops! Plus its right next door to Biscuit Head, if you find yourself wanting a post-haircut snack. :-)

Arturo is pleasant, professional, and very skilled. He cut my hair many times before he had his own shop (including for my wedding), so Im happy to see him open his own establishment. I trust and recommend him.

BEST HAIRCUT IN TOWN. I wish I could write some long eloquent review, but I dont need to, the results speak for themselves. Followed Arturo over from Barber and Tap for good reason. The man is an artist.

Well first, the haircut I asked for came nowhere near what I asked in DETAIL for and showed a picture of and on top of that it came out uneven too. And he typed in a higher price than what was posted for the haircut also with the haircut being pretty high as it is. Worst experience and haircut since I went to great clips 2 years ago. Will never come back here.

Great clean shop with relaxing vibe. All the Barbers are top notch and listen for what you want. Nicest Barber Shop in Buncombe County hands down. Go check it out.

This is the best barber shop in Asheville. Great atmosphere, modern and clean, and Arturo is an excellent barber. He certainly takes the time to listen, and then delivers a great haircut. The service is worth every penny.

This review is for the shop as a whole. Three stars bc we were initially upset but one barber there redeemed this place. CARLOS THE BARBER stands out by himself as a five star barber. We had been here before and my man got f-cked up but we came back bc we were told to see Carlos about fixing it. I dont know how he managed to take what the guy in the middle barber chair had done to destroy my mans head and turn it around to make him look great but he did!..best fade and beard shape Ive ever seen my man with. So like I said if you want a great haircut come to this place and ask to see CARLOS ONLY!!!

Arturo is the best, I ant cant comment on the other guys cutting there. Its not dirt cheap, but if youre going to be walking around with it on your head for 2 to 4 weeks, its worth spending a bit more, imo.

Great haircuts, Arturo is always good and I can strongly recommend Carlos as well 👍🏻

Good cts. Good people. Way expensive compared to most barber shops.

Not the worst, not the best. Highest price Ive paid in Asheville, no beer offered, and just an ok cut. They didnt use a straightedge at all during the haircut even with a skin fade, so that seemed weird.

Arturo is an awesome barber. I highly recommend him and his barber shop.

Great location in South Asheville on Hendersonville Road. Pay the money and get a great haircut.

Like the other reviews, Arturo is very professional and conveniently located. Definitely the best barber I have found and worth the money!

Always a short wait for walks-ins. Great atmosphere.

No paying $30 Dollars For A Regular Hair Cut Taxin. Smh 😒🙄

What a cool place I love it

Went to Arturo after another barber messed up my hair and he fixed it up no problem. I’m going to start going there now instead.

Carlos is a great barber.

Walked in, place was empty, asked how much for a razor fade and was told $40...Im from LA and have never paid over $25..ridiculously overpriced.
