My hair is challenging, with cowlicks and such. I was in the area houshunting and decided to try to find my new barber as well. However, Cameron did not deliver on what I needed. At this price point, more precision, expertise, and attention is expected. I’ll have to find someone else to provide what I need in a few weeks.
To start, my appt started right on time. Before I sat down, Amy and I discussed what I wanted. I told her that a few places before hadn’t done what I asked for, but based what they did off of traditional haircuts. She absolutely killed it, and kept checking between each step if everything was still looking good. The end result was what I had tried to get at 3 different places before. Everyone was friendly and the shop was very nice, and clean.
Less than One Star, actually! Probably the worst beard trim and haircut I ever got. I did a walk-in and got whoever was on duty. The whole experience was a painful disaster. Dull razors. My head got pushed around in uncomfortable positions. Scratches all over my neck. Then I got doused in burning rubbing alcohol. Where do all these terrific Asheville beards get worked on?
I met Nick at a previous barber shop in the Asheville area and I’ve been going to him ever since (4 years). Wherever he goes, I follow. He, by far, does the cleanest fades. He is an artist and you can tell by the way he very intricately and precisely cuts your hair to the exact way you request. If you are nervous about going to a new barber: don’t be. You will be in good hands with Nick. He is worth his weight in gold.
Just did a walk-in. Great job on haircut and beard. Fun, laid back dynamic. Glenn was a pro.
I came in for a straight razor shave, a $40 service, and left getting half of it as a 5 blade Gillette and the other half was straight razer... I dont believe the guy, Nick, either knew what he was doing or was reeeaaal rusty. I addition to that he nicked me a lot. It is unfortunate because the guy was cool, but I wanted the experience and couldve just shaved myself for free.
I stopped in for a beard trim and got to be seen immediately by Cameron who was a total joy to have work on my unkempt beard. He trimmed and styled me to complete satisfaction.... making sure to check In with me periodically for my feedback. I’ll be back for sure. Thanks Cam for making me feel a lot better about my beard hairs!!
If you want the cleanest looking fade and/ or beard trim in the Asheville area, ask for Nick. I’ve been seeing Nick to trim & shape up my beard and I’m always impressed with his attention to detail and precision. Nick is a true artist who cares about his work and making his clients feel fresh and confident after sitting in his chair.
I was in town a month and visited a couple times for a haircut. It was easy to book a spot via the online system. Cameron is an excellent barber, who is detail oriented and took the time to ensure I got a good fade. Highly recommend this spot for a haircut!
Best place to get a clean shave and haircut. Been a long time since I had a nice hair cut and then I come here and this dude makes me look like a sculpture God himself molded. Defitnetly do recommend this place to anyone that needs a good cut. 1000000/10
Thanks Amy for getting my beard back in shape again! See you next time!!
Downtown Ashevilles only full-service barber shop located in the elegant and stylishly fashionable Grove Arcade. I tagged along with my BFF to this place as I do work in the Beauty industry & he had been raving about it for a long time, so I wanted to check it out. It was awesome! Felt like I was in NYC for a minute. I snapped some before & after photos of my guy friend who had the service and he looks FRESH. I also threw a selfie in there of yours truly in my new Adidas track suit dress for your viewing pleasure. :)
Well I called to make an appointment and the fella said they don’t take appointments, just walk ins. So I said I’ll come on down. I got there about 10 minutes after the call and when I walked in the guy said, “do you have an appointment?” And I said no, you just told me on the phone that y’all only take walk ins.He grabbed his phone and started looking at his social media and said,” that must have been the other guy and he just left to go have a drink. I only take appointments.”No one else was in the building...I was dumbstruck. I couldn’t believe anything that just happened.
Glenn is amazing. Great conversation and great service
What an amazing experience I had at this Barber. Traveling up from Florida and getting ready for my wedding I was hoping to find a place to not screw up on my hair and Nick did an amazing job with the hair and beard. Told my wife when we visit again we definitely need to come back here for a cut. Highly recommend coming here.
Awesome spot for a great trim.
Great service with knowledgeable barbers
Called yesterday to try to get an appointment for today (Saturday) They told me that they only take walk-ins on Saturdays and stop taking walk-ins at 2:30. We drove from Barnardsville, and got there at two and they were already closed. Pretty unfortunate because this is the second barber downtown in the last week where we haven’t been able to see a stylist because they’re not there when they say they’re going to be. Very unprofessional and irritating !!
Best beard trim and haircut Ive received in months. Professional atmosphere and great customer service!! Highly recommended.
My partner got his haircut here by Nick and had the best experience. Nick took his time to make sure every detail was to my partners liking and was very attentive to making sure everything was perfect. I would HIGHLY recommend this barber and requesting Nick. Best haircut ever!
Amy gave me a great cut!
Best haircut in Asheville. Glen is the man!
Nick is one of the best barbers I’ve ever been to. I always get a perfect cut.
Excellent service and got a great haircut.
Absolutely wonderful. Stringent covid compliance. Cody gave my brother a hair cut and a shave. He looks better than he has looked in years.
My first hair cut in a long time and definitely the best. Glenn gave me exactly what I wanted and more. Will definitely be coming here from now on.
I’m honestly not one to even leave reviews but if I can help spare someone from spending $35 for a mediocre haircut I will. I was visiting and needed a cut for a performance, and though the folks were genuinely nice, I felt like I was getting my hair cut by someone completely unsure of himself and new. Took forever. Skin fade wasn’t a skin fade. Beard is uneven. Lines are not clean at all. I had to be a coach on things I shouldn’t have. Again, the dude was literally a cool guy but I’m paying for a solid haircut, not just a friendly conversation.
Glenn at Barber and Beard will give you the cleanest cut in Asheville. 5 star service.
Glenn is an awesome barber with a fantastic sense of humor. Great clipper skills I will be back.
I asked for a low fade and got a high and tight with a flop of hair on top ....I never know how to react when a barber messes up because whats done is down but damn....I cant show my head I.nPublic for months
Nick is great!
Awesome place . Great atmosphere Cam and the other Barbers were friendly and engaging. Cam did AMAZING on my cut and beard
Best place in town to get a beard trim
Came in for a simple trim. Haircut took about 45 minutes. I was the only customer there. Barber must fresh out of school or high as a kite. Edges were not lined up, random long hairs throughout my hair, back of the neck completely off. Look on Yelp to see the before and after photos.
Nice new cut. 5 star
I’ve been going to Nick for about a year now. Hands down the cleanest fade I’ve ever had! Sometimes it gets busy but I’d wait all day if I had too. Go to Asheville Barber and Beard if you want to look your best.
I have been going here since moving to Asheville a year ago and Nick has given me great, clean haircut every time! I have recommended a lot of guys to go there and ask for Nick. Really pleased with my experience.
Ive been growing my hair out the past 2 years and I decided it was time for a cut. I did my research before hand and traveled from Waynesville to here as I was searching for excellence. I found exactly that at Asheville Barber and Beard. I was instantly greeted when I walked in the door and within 2 minutes Nick was sitting down discussing what I wanted for a cut. We got right too it and this man was professional from the start and knew exactly what he was doing. Worth the drive, and worth the money. I will definitely be returning regularly.
I’ve been getting my hair and beard cut here for about 9 months and my Barber Nick does a phenomenal job every time. Ask for Nick you won’t regret it!
Amy is the best barber this side of the Blue Ridge.
Best Haircut in Asheville. Amy is the best!
Great haircut in the historic Grove Arcade downtown. The shop has a contemporary and modern feel to it. I have been a walk in the past three times I have been there, and I have never had to wait. My haircuts have been exactly what I have wanted. This past time, the barber was friendly and held a conversation as he cut my hair. The prices are on par for most places in town. The only thing keeping from 5 stars is that my beard trim felt a little overpriced and rushed. Overall great experience and the full hot towel and straight razor treatment is A+.
Have to say Trina gave me one of the best cuts of my life. coming from Florida on vacation i was worried i wouldnt be able to find anyone that can cut it how i like. I highly recommend seeing her!
Was rudely told to leave on a Saturday (walk ins only) over a hour before closing because there were three people waiting. Ok. Took my business elsewhere and never looked back.
Nick kills it. Every review here talking about nick is so positive and I agree 100%. Nick is an artist and if you want a great haircut he’s the person to see in Asheville
My son doesnt like getting haircuts. This is the only place I can take him where he wont cry. Every barber has done a good job every time...and the shop is very clean.
This place is a gem when in town. Professional, friendly, courteous, and Amy is a superbly talented barber. Its refreshing to know barbershops like this are still around. Quality service and a super comfortable atmosphere. Would highly highly recommend.
Ive been getting my hair and beard cut at Asheville Beard and Barber for almost 3 months now after bouncing around different barber shops in Asheville. A friend of mine told me to ask for Nick. Ive never been happier with barber. Nick literally cuts my hair exactly like I ask him too and always exceeds my expectations. Ive never left with a bad cut and never left not feeling fresh. I always schedule an appt and the time waiting is extremely minimal. Highly recommend. Ask for Nick.
My boyfriend got a haircut here yesterday. The service was amazing, the staff was so friendly. The location is very convienient and the shop was clean. He and I both love his new haircut! Would definitely go back!
I had a hot date last Friday and really wanted to impress this girl. Got my hair cut and came out super fresh! Needless to say, I have a second date this weekend. Thanks you!! Will be back soon!
My son-in-law, on his birthday, came back from this place and his hair is ridiculous. He didn’t know how to tell her what he wanted. She was going to charge for a redo. I have never paid a second time when my hair isn’t what I wanted.
Excellent spot for haircut and shave. Spent a sabbatical in the area and it felt like home. Efficient, courteous, friendly staff, with fantastic workmanship. Will be back when in town.
Flat top was awesome. Beard not symmetrical. Husband had to retrim bread when we got home. Over priced. Definitely not returning.
My boyfriend met Alicia for a haircut and she did a fantastic job! She is very professional and reasonably priced. 10/10 would go back to Asheville Barber and Beard!
Wanted to find a new place was very pleased. Nick did a great fade highly recommend.
Great local barber shop. Really detailed in their work. Highly recommend.
Maurice is dope and he always gives a great haircut! All of the staff is exceptionally talented, but I always schedule with him.
Nick did a great job with my hair and beard. 👌🏻
They do great work. You pay a little more but it is worth it.
Probably one of the best cuts I‘ve had on the east coast. I highly recommend it. Give it a try if you’re in the neighborhood.
Nick never disappoints, only barber I trust anywhere.
Really disappointed. My usual spot was closed for vacation so I thought I would give these guys a chance to earn my business. Asheville was busy so I parked a good 15 minute walk away from their shop. Showed up 75 minutes before the posted close time on a Saturday which is strictly walk ins. There was no one else waiting and I was told they weren’t taking any more customers. On the way out the door I double checked their posted hours of business just to be sure it said 3pm and it did. Certainly not impressed by their lack of professionalism and will never be back. Don’t waste your time, go to Local Barber & Tap on Walnut St.
I come to see Amy every time. Awesome job on my cuts.
Do you feel like you cant find a barber that can fit your hair to your head? Do you walk out of your regular baber looking like he may have cut your hair with his eyes closed. Well look no further. Asheville Barber and Beard will take care of you, you wont consider going back to your old barber again. The laid back but profeasional atmosphere gives you just the right feel. You will know once you get out the chair that you made the right choice.
Very trendy DT barber shop right next to the grove, was able to walk in and be seen with in 15 mins by Nick. Nick was very professional and talented barber who takes pride in providing the highest quality of service. I would definitly recommend this barbershop and Nick if your looking for a clean and quality cut!
Ive been going here for years. This place is amazing
Best place for a trim and cut hands down. Go see Cameron he will hook you up !
Got bad vibes from the dude that owns the place and the guys that cut my hair. Not only was it like they didn’t want me there but my sub par hair cut cost $25 plus tip. Not nearly worth the money.
Just a great classy place to get a great classy haircut.
I work in the Grove Arcade and have been getting my haircut there for years. They have a cool atmosphere and keep me looking fresh.
Quick service, knowledgeable staff, great cut!
Unfriendly atmosphere and an argumentative “hairstylist” Trina.
Fantastic place to get a quality haircut experience.
The best cuts I’ve ever had are from here.
Best barber shop in Asheville! Jamie does a great job everytime.
I love the cuts and the environment, definitely the best barbershop in town!
Nicks the best barber in Asheville, hands down.
Stopped by to get a haircut and a shave before a big interview. The staff was so friendly and did a great job!
Great cuts and beard trim at reasonable prices
Great shop and friendly people.
Jamie Mills does a great haircut and beard trim for me!
Took my son here and he loved it! Very friendly staff.
Best haircut and beard trim in town
Best Barber In Asheville hands down.
Located in convenient area, great atmosphere, and awesome service
My boyfriend just came home and its the worst haircut Ive ever seen. From behind it literally looks like a bowl-cut.
Great place
Tried to get a walk in, they were a little bit busy and when I went to sign in they rudely said we are to busy to take walk ins right now can’t you see that
Damm good cut
Mello shop, expert cuts, 10 stars...
Jamie Mills has a signature fade like no other barber in town!!!
Pete is great !! Attention to detail !!
Pete is excellent!
