We LOVE the guys at Refined! They know us by name when we walk in the door and always give KILLER cuts for my 3 and 5 year old! Beautiful and clean shop, always a great experience. Highly recommend!

Austin and Daniel are awesome! This is an awesome shop. Great atmosphere and chill vibe. These dudes are in no rush when cutting, which is great. I wont go anywhere else!

Imma just call it like I see it. Austin is not only a great person but also an amazing barber. He’s not just a barber though, he’s a Chef and he always cooks with straight GAS. With the clippers in his hands it’s like Da Vinci painting the Mona Lisa. You will never be disappointed with his work because he’s detail oriented and cares even more about the client than the product which is a deadly combo.Bless

Best haircut Ive ever had! Austin Arreola is awesome & makes you feel comfortable in his chair from the moment you sit down. The new location in Downtown Bloomington is GREAT (right next to Coffee Hound)! Highly recommended!

Austin is the best! He does such a great job on all of my boys (hubby and 2 children), is always kind & courteous and my boys always look forward to getting their hair cuts! In the beginning when he was first learning my older son’s hair, we tried a few different things since he has a strong cowlick, but ultimately he worked with us to get a cut that everyone loved and was happy with! My boys always leave feeling so confident and happy with how they look! They also love talking to Austin; he always listens to them (even when they ramble on) and has encouragement for them and positive things to say!! The downside? He’s so good you have to schedule out months and months in advance!! We have been with him since his early days at his current location and plan to be with him for the foreseeable future! Highly recommend him!

Unique high-end barber experience. There is no other barber in the area that comes close to matching the experience you receive at Refined. Every last detail has been exquisitely crafted and refined from your everyday barber experience. Austin is a master of his craft, but the overall experience only starts with the amazing hair cut that you will receive numerous compliments on. The boutique style shop is typically filled with creative and professional types, and the conversation is where the experience shines. I could never go back to a boring barber experience again.

Best place to get your haircut in Central Illinois. He makes me not look near as ugly as I actually am. Great cut, great atmosphere, and an even better guy to talk to. I can’t recommend this place enough

Austin is flat-out talented and dedicated to his craft. Hes detail-oriented, and he treats his customers right. I love that he sees himself as an artist, and that he gets excited to do something new and innovative each time. I always look forward to my cut because I know hell be able to bring to life whatever crazy idea I have in my imagination.

Austin genuinely cares about each client, always booking out at least 50 minutes for each cut to ensure he is not rushed. He pays attention to detail and works with the client to carry out their vision. He is a creative, artist and man of integrity. You will NOT be disappointed in your experience.

Austins just a good dude, first and foremost, and is really intent on getting to know the people who come in the shop. The place is sharp - very relaxing to be in. As a barber hes got the best attention to detail Ive ever had in a cut. He listens to your personal likes/dislikes but can also give really helpful pointers to make sure youre always looking your best. Quality of cut and aesthetic of the shop are both top-notch.

Hands down the best barber in the Bloomington-Normal area. Austin is the master of his craft when it comes to cutting hair. Every cut is deliberate and diligent. He takes his time and does not rush through cutting your hair. You will receive the highest level of respect and customer service when you enter into his shop. His level of professionalism is second to none.

Austin has helped my husband find a cut that looks great, and has given him some very helpful tips as far as hair and beard maintenance. As a wife, I would highly recommend Austin for haircuts and beard trims...we trust his expertise, and plus, its fun to see my husband take pride in his haircut looking so stylish and sharp!

Awesome new location and amazing haircut! Austin has perfected his craft and consistently provides his clientele with the best haircut they have ever had. Coming to Refined Barbershop has been a very personal and enjoyable experience whether it is your first haircut with him or your 100th. If you are in the area, or even if youre from out of town, this is the barber shop you need to go to.

Best barbershop in Bloomington/Normal hands down. Refineds decor is very industrial but clean look to it, such an inviting place to go. Austin puts so much work into his cuts that Ive yet to find anywhere else, he truly cares about his customers. He stays insanely busy so you better book your dates now if you want a top notch haircut.

Cleanest Freshest Barbershop in the Bloomington-Normal area. Austin is the man, it is impossible to leave his shop unhappy with the cut or the experience. Professional, courteous, and relaxed are a few words I would use to describe Austin and the atmosphere at Refined Barbershop. Refined is the place to be when in need of a haircut.

Such a refreshing experience. My wife was scouting out a new stylist for me and came across Austins business. She was impressed by his authentic presentation and suggested I look into him. SO glad I gave it a go, as he offered an olde time feel with awareness of current trends. While new to downtown, Austins been practicing for years and has the experience of someone well into the craft. And thats exactly how he approaches it, as an art and craft, each experience uniquely tailored to the individual. He listens, he advises, and he provides a relaxing appointment for every person. He took his time, studied every angle as if it were his own hair, and made me feel as if I mattered as an individual. This is an artist who will become a mainstay to downtown Bloomington, and I would highly recommend ANY guy to give him a try.Buyer beware: Youll walk away wondering why you spent years going to a chain hair cutting store, and youll also never be able to go back to your old way of doing things. Be prepared to be changed, for the better. Thank you, Austin, for taking a risk in entering into being a business owner - youre providing an invaluable service to guys who need instruction in the olde ways of barbering.

REALEST BARBER IN THE GAME!-Mr. Arreola is not only a refined barber, but a barber with a refined taste for sneakers, Mexican food and interior design. He knows what he’s doing and he does it with style.
