Those people are fantastic they know what theyre doing they really know how to style hair to make it the way you want it. Its a five-star salon. I had my ladys hair cut, colored and styled, wet and dry, and I had happy tears at the end of it, because she looks soo attractive. I would highly recommend them to any ladies or gentlemen.

Ja’mal at Brooklyn Barber shop is the best barber in Boulder hands down. He always pays close attention to his work and clients, and does a fantastic job every time. He does a great job with my curly and wirey hair, which most barbers have no clue how to deal with and is difficult to cut. Excellent results every time!

JaMal is a true artist. Be prepared for the best haircut of your life. Im an older guy and have had my hair cut all over the world by dozens of barbers. No one holds a candle to JaMal.

Awesome atmosphere...very friendly...and a great job. I got a head shave and beard trim. Jamal was awesome...took his time and was open to any changes! Didn’t feel rushed at all! Definitely recommend :)

Since Im growing my hair out, I only needed a quick clean up. That said JaMal did a great job (it was honestly more than I hoped for). He even gave me some advice on a protective hair style Im getting. Ill definitely be going to him for future haircuts.

My son came in for the first time recently and got the best cut and fade he has ever had. JaMal is great! Looking forward to being repeat customers.

In my opinion, it takes some searching over the web, thoughtfulness and good communication to find a great stylist. The first time I had my hair done by Jamal, I did not get too specific about what I wanted but gave him a high level idea as I was unsure and nervous. However, I got exactly what I asked for and realised that Jamal had great skills. The second time, I told him in detail what I wanted and showed him a pic from a magazine lying around to give a feel of what I wanted. I was amazed right after my haircut then, and am still amazed fifty days after my haircut as to how beautifully my hair has grown out even with much volume. I could very well say that my second hair cut with Jamal is the best haircut I’ve got in my life so far and definitely better than the haircuts my stylist for five years had given me before.Jamal is a skilled hairstylist and a successful entrepreneur, thanks to his skills in the trade and in the business. He is easy to talk to and he really listens to what you want. He doesn’t just give you a great hairstyle that’s trending not knowing what you want, but understands your hair and gives you a haircut that would look great on you and how you want it. The salon itself is a very nice place and I feel truly comfortable when I am there. Every little detail in the salon is well thought of, from how they treat their clients to how the music transitions from one song to the next.If you need a great stylist in an affordable price range, look no further than Brooklyn Barber Academy and I can personally vouch for Jamal’s work. I have an appointment tomorrow and am going to try something new this time, as I am sure that I have found my stylist.

Ive been searching for a stylist that can work with my hair for literally two years since I moved to the area and I am delighted to have finally found Jenny. I have thin, fine, curly hair and she worked her magic to transform my ugly grown out hair into a flattering, cute and edgy cut that I love.She really worked with me to figure out what I wanted and how my hair behaves, then applied her considerable skills to give me the most me haircut I can remember having.Also, this is the first time that I didnt feel like I needed to go home and wash the weird styling out: she knew what she was doing.Im so pleased and cant wait to go back. I encourage any gal who really cares about her cut to go see Jenny: you wont be disappointed.

Just moved to Boulder from NYC so naturally had to go to the BK Barbershop. Ja’mal was incredibly friendly and gave me a great haircut. He took the time to figure out what I wanted to do with it and I was very happy with the result. Definitely will be my barbershop from here on out!

This is a hidden gem. If youre looking for a reasonably priced shop with a great welcoming atmosphere without sacrificing stylist quality - this is your place. Stacy has been great every time Ive gone in. Great attention to detail. Great transparency and communication. I never have to worry about the quality and always leave happy.Plus, their online scheduling system is great. You can monitor the availability of each stylist and pick a time that fits your schedule. 5 well-deserved stars for a local small business.

Review №17

I moved from NYC and went to several salons in Denver and never felt satisfied with my cut or color. I couldnt find anyone who could texture my wavy/curly hair for the dry environment and color/highlight for MY skin tone. The stylists at Brooklyn Barber Academy are incredibly talented and the special attention I receive is heartfelt. They carry the best products and the entire experience is amazing. My 4 year old, husband and I would never go anywhere else.

I went to Brooklyn Barber Academy today for the first time. I read most of the reviews before going in (which are resoundingly positive), and decided to give it a try. Even though the online booking agent will not allow you to book same day appointments (this is a problem), I was able to walk in at the right time and got seated by Stacy.She did a FANTASTIC job. I mean, one of the best cuts Ive ever had. If you like your hair cuts to be tailored by someone who you can tell genuinely cares about every move she makes, then you want to go and have her cut your hair. I will be back, no doubt.Also, I watched Jamal give a cut and banter with a customer. I can tell he is a legitimately caring dude. He seemed to care about his customers and gave a guy what looked like a really nice cut too.If youve been shopping around for that steady barbershop relationship, then you obviously havent been here. Dont waste your time going to those corporate turn and burn places. There really is something to be said about talent, craftsmanship, and quality output when it comes to haircuts. You deserve it.And, if you think it costs more than other places, think again. The price for my haircut was less than some of the big corporate outlets.Thanks,Travis T.

Jenna is relatively new to the Brooklyn Barber Academy in Boulder. However, Ive had her cut and color my hair for six years at another salon in Boulder County. I LOVE her work. Jenna understands how to work with different hair types, and she does an outstanding job of cutting and coloring my hair. I have short, straight, fine hair, and have never found a stylist who works so well with my needs. Im following her to Brooklyn Barber Academy because shes got the skills, talent, and experience that I want for my hair care professional. You wont regret your visit to see Jenna at this salon.

Ive been a client of JaMal for over 6 months now. He is very talented and works with all hair types. I have short, natural black hair and Im always satisfied with my haircut. He does great color jobs too. Book with him, I doubt you will leave disappointed!

Review №23

Brooklyn Barber Academy is the only place Ill get my haircut in Boulder. My first cut in Boulder was a very mediocre hair cut at an overpriced and super bourgeois barbershop on Pearl street. Not going back. I am stoked that Brooklyn Barber Academy is here in town and Ill choose to go there from now on. Jenna is great. She hooked me up real proper. Music selection was the best. Overall that was the most outstanding experience Ive had at a barbershop to date. Definitely earned all the five star reviews.

JaMal was super willing to give me (a trans man) a masculine haircut to help with my transition. Im so happy to have finally found a place where I feel comfortable asking for the cut I want and actually get my desired results.

Review №25

After almost 4 years visiting a variety of hairdressers, in this area, who pretended to know how to cut curly hair, I finally found this place and Jamal who really knows the difference between a cut on straight hair versus curly hair. He not only understood my request, he also delivered a great result making me finally happy and satisfied about my haircut. I will definitely keep going to him because he is a great professional!

Review №26

Jenna and Jamal are the bomb! New favorite hair place in Boulder. Funky, upbeat, masculine-but-not-exclusive atmosphere. Great cut, great perks (Jenna offered beverage, neck massage, scalp massage, straight razor use, and more), and great tunes. Family-friendly, too! Competitive prices for all youre getting. Cant really ask for much more - highly recommended!

Review №27

Ive been seeing Jenna for two years now. Very well-rounded! She has managed my hair when it was longer and now that its shorter too. Its very difficult to find a stylist that can make short hair look good! She gives great suggestions and is always open to doing something different. Love her!!!

I have been having Jenna color & cut my hair for years. She always done a fantastic job. She is very professional and easy to get along with. She listens to her clients and in my experience gives me exactly what I need. She did a color melt for me today of which Im extremely happy with. Dont think Id trust my locks with anyone else at this point!

Review №30

Jamal does a great job. Hands down one of my favorite spots. Worth the money. That said Im only giving 4 stars for a couple reasons. The phone number is pointless. Nobody ever answers and its a generic greeting, youre not even sure you called the right number. And the other reason is booking an appointment cant be done within a week or even 2 weeks- if youre not on the books, it is really hard to find a time slot in a reasonable amount of time so you have to constantly stay on it.

Review №31

This place is definitely the best haircut I’ve had in boulder. Even when giving sort of vague ideas of what I want for my hair Stacy has ALWAYS delivered an awesome look. It’s a real shame they had to move locations but I still feel like I’m really a part of a community when I go in.

Review №32

Just had my first cut here and I’m sold! Amazing cut by Stacy. Tons of attention to detail, offered me suggestions and spent the perfect amount of time. This place is no chop shop - it’s high quality and could charge much more. Will be back for my next cut and the 10 after that.

Review №33

Stacey was nothing but an absolute pleasure. She’s a great person to talk with and have never seen someone put so much time and care into my hair. She even stayed an hour past her normal closing time just to make sure I was completely happy with the cut. I’m only in Boulder for the summer and my actual barber from Brooklyn doesn’t do this good of a job. I can’t recommend this place enough.

Jo
Review №34

Went in to the shop today after not being able to find a decent cut in Boulder. Was totally blown away by the service Jamal provided; an excellent, clean cut at a great price, engaging conversation and a styling tutorial to keep my looking good till the next time I come in. I will 100% be coming back to Brooklyn Barbers. Thanks Jamal!

Honest Review.This is review is way overdue, but it must be written. First off, anyone looking for an african american black barber who cuts black people hair (along with white) in the Boulder area, this is the place you wanna go. Jamaal is a godsend. Does good fades, very professional and engaging, model citizen, just all around good people.

Review №40

Really liked this place! Unfortunately it was almost impossible to find. They have no sign and didnt answer the phone when I called to get directions. My maps app didnt help much either. Eventually I called the stylist and got directions. But maybe this is just all part of the experience. If thats the case then I think they should have a code word at the door and a little entrance thats just a meat locker. A door person could hand you a written quiz on bat anatomy and then grade it. Once youve passed the quiz you can get your dope haircut and leave through a side exit. So yeh, good luck finding this place.

Review №42

This is the place youve been looking for - whether you know it yet or not. After years of being mostly satisfied with one of the large barber chains, I decided to try something different - for both my hair and where I got it cut. For a comparable price, the experience is night and day. Easy online appointments, great hospitality and service from start to finish, and highly skilled pros to meet every style need...I couldnt be happier and know Ill be back for years to come.

My old barber, Tony at everyones hair, closed up shop. I decided I needed to find a new barber. Jamal was on his game and gave me an excellent cut today. I appreciated his attention to detail and the shampoo and massage which is something new for me in a haircut experience. Would recommend to anyone looking for an excellent cut.

Nothing but positive things to say, Ive only had my hair cut by a handful of people, mainly due to personal preference, but had a great time trying a new place. jamal is super personable and the shop had a really nice small business vibe. price seemed very reasonable considering the attention to detail. will be seeing them again for sure.

The best barber shop I have ever been to. Ja’mal who cut my hair (into a very tight taper fade) paid so much attention to detail. Definitely the best spot in Boulder, miles beyond Floyd’s or Bullocks when it comes to staff.

Jenna is a true professional. She does great work and is always learning more about her craft. After my long-time stylist moved out of town, I struggled to find someone with the skills and attentiveness to deal with the way my hair can drive me nuts. With Jenna, I have received a great cut every time and she has also taught me things that have made a huge difference for my daily routine.

Review №59

Ive been living in Boulder since 2004. Ive been to more than a dozen barbers and hair stylists. Jamal is easily the best. Hes attentive to detail, an excellent listener and a very likable person. I have thick curly hair that is difficult for many barbers, and I until I found this place I often left haircuts disappointed. Now Im getting compliments after. Its the only place Ill go. I just wish I remembered to schedule before I needed the haircut rather than afterwards. Jamal is popular and he is often booked out a week in advance.

Review №61

Ja’mal is a hidden treasure. When I decided to cut my hair into a silver undercut, I knew the wrong stylist could make me look ridiculous (or charge me a fortune). All I wanted was someone who could give me a reasonably priced, classy cut every 2-3 weeks. What I got was a look that makes me feel sharp and stylish despite my salt and pepper locks. I trust Ja’mal to always keep me looking fierce but feminine without spending a ton of money for a 30-minute cut. He’s everything I want from a stylist with a barber’s price tag, and I could not be more grateful I found Brooklyn Barber Academy!

Just had my first Brooklyn Barber Academy cut today, and Jenna was fantastic. She asked a ton of questions about my hair and what I wanted, to make sure I understood my options. She was also okay with me throwing up my hands and saying I trust you. :) She gave my long, straight blond hair a natural, swingy, easy care cut that I love, with lots of movement, and did a fantastic blow-out. She also gives a super relaxing scalp massage, and both she and JaMal were very personable. Loved the Motown in the background too.
