Barber Felix did a fantastic job on the cut, and was friendly. Also was very helpful with deciding what I wanted. Couldnt recommend this place more and its only my first time visiting!
Great place and friendly staff who will go above and beyond to make sure you look your best!
Excellent attention to detail and very punctual if you need to have your haircut happen on time. That also means that you cant just walk in, either late or without an appointment, but the wait is worth the quality of the cut.
Legitimately the best haircut I’ve ever gotten. Made me look like a million bucks. Would recommend Shawn.
Absolutely love this shop. Shawn is a great barber. I like that I can book an appointment online and I dont have to wait long after I arrive.
Felix was efficient and got me in early so that i could leave with great haircut and get back to work
Feliz did a great job! Thank you guys :)
Kudos to Felix. Always does an amazing job!!!
Just arrived in Buffalo and needed a haircut badly. Felix gave me a fantastic trim; just like that Ive found my go-to place.
I went to AFM for the first time today.I made my appointment with Aric.Aric gave me one of the best cuts Ive had. (Im 68!)Hes a nice guy, friendly and professional, and takes his time to do a masterly job.You can tall he enjoys what he does.Thanks, Aric!
Can only speak to one of their Master Barbers (Felix) however he knows how to cut hair. Amazing on the trimmers and straight edge also. AFM has a very clean environment as well
Felix did an amazing job. I am admittedly a pretty terrible barbershop customer-- Im indecisive and I never really know what I want. Even with my very vague direction, Felix was able to turn that into one of the best cuts I have ever gotten. The shape is perfect and his attention to detail was evident. He also did an amazing job with my eyebrows. Environment is very laid back and cool. Would go back any time. On top of all that, the price was great for the quality.
New to Buffalo and decided to give this place a chance. Booked a cut with Michael and ended up with one of the best cuts of my life. 10/10
Great beard trim. Highly recommend
Best Hospitality and prices😍
Felix is the man. He always does me right and makes me look better than I should!
If you’re looking for a consistently solid haircut, look no further than Reinaro. Just tell him what kind of cut you want and he’ll execute it better than what you had in mind.
Fellas, looking for something to do the day of your wedding??? Look no further!! Architect For Mens Groomsman package will make sure that all of your fellas look sharp for your big day.While all the girls get ready, they will treat you to food, drink, and music of your choice and their entire space to get ready in. I could not be happier with my experience earlier in August. I had 13 fellas that all got cuts, styles or shaves and they were able to get it done in the time I needed it. Everyone looked spectacular and the pictures turned out amazing.The staff was amazing to work with, they will work with your schedule and have everything ready for when you get there. The package was fairly priced. I will recommend this to all of my friends that are getting married in the area for years to come.
Great experience. Excellent staff. Wonderful haircut
Walked in and was immediately impressed. A very nice, small but spacious, clean place. Making the reservation was extremely easy and efficient and ill definitely return
Feliz Thank you for the Sharp Hair cut will definitely be coming back. Overall 10 out of 10
I’ve gone to many high end barber shops in my time. It’s something I splurge on. Buffalo, Boston, NYC, etc. I appreciate a good cut.Nate gave me what I strongly consider to be the best fade I’ve ever seen. Even, clean, 000 to a 2. No breaks, no lines, just clean. I’m absolutely coming back. Highly recommend.
Felix Gutierrez is great
Mike runs the BEST barber shop in town. Centrally located in the heart of the city on Main St., Architect is consistently the best I’ve come across whether it’s Mike or his staff of talented barbers, you’re not looking as good as you should without stopping in for a cut. Their homemade hair products are killer and they’ve got a keg in the waiting area as well. What more could a man want? I’m a loyal man when it comes to good haircuts, I don’t see myself getting it done by anyone else. Thanks for always bringing your A game, boys.
Excellent quality barbershop
First time in, 15 minutes late starting, didnt do a shampoo that was supposedly included but the cut and the beard trim were pretty good and the guy was nice so I let it slide. He also nicked me but accidents happen. Second time in, 30 minutes late starting, nobody even checking. Was told 15 minutes after my appointment time that the guy was running late by somebody who was clearly free but no acknowledgement whatsoever from the guy cutting my hair. When he is available, he is apologetic and friendly, and seems to really want to do a good job. Asks a few times if its alright, I ask him to cut it shorter and he eventually reaches the right length. He takes money off for being late so I even give him a tip. However, I get home, and while he did cut the front shorter when I asked him, he had not checked if the rest was even, so the back is far longer than the front. I get that he was checking with me if it was fine (after hed put product in and its harder to tell) but I dont expect to have to check every single hair to make sure hed done the most basic thing of making it even. Pretty appalling standard. Guys here are friendly, but apparently poorly trained, unskilled and inconsistent.
My first time going here and I am very glad I did. I know where Ill be getting my hair cut from now on!! Shawn did an amazing job and he made sure I was good with what he was going to do before he just went and did it. Very nice and friendly environment as well!
Felix is fantastic
This place is really quite a fantastic location to get a haircut or a shave. All the guys that work here are super cool, down to earth, noon-pretentious, and extremely talented. I travel a lot for work and I’m in Buffalo monthly I always get my haircut here. The space is clean, well-designed, and bright; it’s also very easy to get to and parking around the corner is free.
I have been looking for a barber shop in Buffalo that knows how to treat me right! Architect for men is the PLACE!!I got my haircut by Mike the barber and all I have to say is it was the best haircut Ive ever had. Period! The detailed work, steam towel, and knock shave was unbelievable.I strongly recommend this place if youre looking for a haircut!!
Nate gave killer haircut exactly what I asked!
First time going here after reading some reviews online and was very happy that I chose Architect for Men. Drew was my barber and did a fantastic job on my haircut as well as being very personable to make it an enjoyable experience. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a barber in the Buffalo area. Its in a great location downtown and had a very welcoming atmosphere.
I’ve been going to architect for a few months now, never seeing anyone specific, but always getting a good cut. I saw Shawn today and got the best haircut I’ve had in years. Definitely going to be a regular here.
Came in with long flow that needed to be tamed. My man Shawn definitely hooked me up big time! He took his time with the cut and was with me for a full hour just so he got the look right! I appreciate his patience and his love for the art of cutting hair. A true Picasso of the hair game I cant recommend him enough! Look forward to coming back again!
Great place for a haircut. The atmosphere is casual, and modern. The people are cool, and the time passes fast with the crazy conversations. Definitely worth it to at least check out.
New to Buffalo .. was on the search for a good barber shop.... And my first choice was not a disappointment.. Felix had me looking right!💪🏽 🍻.. its a great atmosphere plenty of flavor.. and great conversations.. architect for men has a new customer
I started coming here after the guy I always used to see at my last favorite place. I chose Drew because I saw his name most in the reviews. I have gone countless times since then, every time but once to see Drew (I really needed a cut but he was gone for a few weeks). Not only does he always give me a great cut, but he asks me multiple times if it is looking good and if there is anything else I want him to do. Drew is also a nice guy who is easy to talk to if you like conversation. The place itself is modern and beautiful. You can book appointments online for every service which is really helpful. I would recommend Architect and Drew to anyone.
I was in town for a couple of nights for a wedding and needed a haircut. I called and made an appointment with DREW! He was one of the nicest barbers I have ever had. A very laid-back and friendly guy, but also an amazing barber. He took his time to make sure I was 1000% satisfied with my cut. If you’re in the area and need your hair cut, definitely check this place out and see Drew.
Great staff, chill environment really enjoy going here
I had my first cut with Drew earlier today, and I hope it will be the first of many.Ive moved and traveled quite a bit, so Ive been to a lot of salons and barbershops. Until today, Ive never had a haircut feel like hanging out with a friend (with the added benefit of that friend being a brilliant barber!).From the atmosphere of the shop to the quality of the products and the friendliness of the staff, everything is top notch. Well done!
I had a wonderful experience today at Architect for Men. My barber was Drew and I have a great haircut. He was very accommodating and we had a great conversation. It is clear he is passionate about his work and the time was pleasant. The shop is terrific and features wine and beer if you are interested in that. All in all, a terrific experience and one I look forward to repeating many times. Drew now feels like a buddy and a barber. Thanks to AFM.
Amazing! Super courteous and know what they’re doing! Nate is excellent! The atmosphere is also super relaxed and just a nice change of pace from the financial district outside!
Was in town for a wedding and needed a haircut and shave. Probably the best haircut Ive gotten in years. Highly recommend.
One of the absolute best experiences and haircuts in Buffalo. Every time I walk into those doors I’m immediately greeted and taken care off. Great vibe and even better people! Definitely a place to stop and get an edge up or hair and beard trim🙌
What a great barber shop. I myself am bald, but I have a great beard. I needed it shaped and cleaned. Will did a great job. Great atmosphere, awesome people, oh and they have beer. I know where Ill be going from now on.
In town for a wedding and in need of beard grooming, turned to yelp of course. Architect for men came up and it was the best decision I made. Mike is an exceptional barber. We talked about how to tame the mane and he was precise, detailed oriented throughout. This was the best beard trim I have ever gotten. Trim included hot towel, and straight edge. It was worth much more than the ten bucks (in fact, the pricing is incredibly reasonable). Almost wish I could live here just so I can come to Architect for men. This place is amazing! Do make an appointment!
Modern, clean, and welcoming, Architect for Men is so close to the Fountain Plaza station all you have to do is fall off the train and youre there.Nicole gave me a fantastic haircut; taking my this is how I usually do it and improving on it dramatically. A great haircut and, whatever their custom products are, I smell great now too. Hell, she did such an amazing job I probably wont be single anymore by the end of the weekend.Ill be back and you should too.
Stopped by from out of town and got unbelievably great service from Drew! He knew what he was doing and was great in conversation. Drew is such a great barber that I thought I might need to move to Buffalo! Definitely book an appointment with Drew and check it out.
A great place! Very modern and the staff really knows what they are doing! Best hair cut Ive ever had. Highly recommend.
So Im in town for a film I am producing but I have also been on the road for 6 weeks and my beard and hair is getting pretty wild. A couple of the local guys on set recommended Mike at Architect so I booked an appointment online (super easy - great website). Mike is an awesome barber/stylist - not only talented but friendly as hell and a real champion of Buffalo. He did a killer job - made me look human again. Definitely going to come back before heading off. Buffalo has a real treasure in these guys!
Highly recommend Architect. Scheduling is easy on their website or through the Fresha app. Friendly staff & nice location. Right across from the Expo Market. I always book with Nate. He does an excellent job cutting my hair. If you want a nice fade go to him.
Just moved here from Baltimore and Chicago before that. Compared to the best barbers in each city, Mike rates at the top. Might be the best haircut Ive received. Excellent attention to detail, and he nailed the shape I desired. Mike is also a great guy. Really enjoyed the experience, and Ill definitely be coming back.
My barber Reinaro is great. I have not been disappointed once by my haircut. The environment of the shop is relaxed and you can book online. I recommend this place.
Cool place. The girl that cuts my hair is really cool. Hot towel on the neck is awesome. Neck shave comes with the cut. They have a steam machine for your pores if you want. I recommend it.
Take a look in the mirror, ask yourself do I need a hair cut? If the answer is yes then head down to Architect for Men! My boy Mike and Will can get you looking clean and feeling fresh, you will not be disappointed! Highly recommended!!!
Sleek. Stylish. Clean. Modern. The haircuts and the shop! Very cool dudes. Good conversation and probably the best haircut and shave Ive ever had. Pricey but you get what you pay for with these guys, Ill definitely going back!
It was my first time here visiting from Memphis, TN and had an absolutely amazing experience . Reinaro was awesome and took his time giving me a great haircut. Overall I was very satisfied and will definitely come here again! :)
I went to Architect for Men for a long overdue haircut and Nate was my barber. He did a phenomenal job, cut my hair like a true barber, lined it up, shaped it, and made everything much better! His advice was directly on point! You will not find a better mens cut then here and with Nate or any of the other guys. Best of all, you are not rushed and they know how to use a straight razor! It is a treat and I am looking forward to my next cut!
Always amazing service. Mike or Felix can hook you up with anything from a beard trim to a full fade and make you feel and look like a million bucks for a great price. Today I went in and Star Wars was playing on the TV which is always a huge bonus. Best barber shop in town.
First time in! Made an appointment online- quick and easy process. Found street parking close by. I was promptly seated right away. Nicole listened to my particular requests and worked her magic and skills to achieve one of the best cuts and beard trims I ever received. Finished off with a straight razor shave. Definitely coming back!!! Thank you!
First time here and had a phenomenal experience. An extremely friendly staff and great quality service. Had my haircut done beyond my expectations, especially as it was my first time. Had my hair cut done by Mike, and his work has proven his countless years in experience. I highly recommend to anyone that wants their hair cut done the right way. Have lived east coast and west coast and will not hesitate to say this mightve been my best hair cut experience yet.
I will never go anywhere else. Walked in and the atmosphere was very comfortable. I saw Nate he got me checked in and took me right over. I dont usually get my beard trimmed because you cant really trust anyone but he did an amazing job! Oh and the beer is a huge plus!
This is exactly what I want in a barbershop. Was in town for business and decided to grab a haircut. Saw this place was close and Im really glad it was. Great hair cut and customer experience. Every time Im in town Im definitely stopping by even for a touch up. Wish they were in my hometown.
Reinardo did an awesome job on my hair. It was my first time in and he got everything exactly right. Spot on haircut, beard trim, and straight razor shave. The shop is very nice as well. Modern and clean, with beer on tap! Ill be returning regularly
Reinaro gave me the best haircut. Highly recommend because he’s young and a true progeny. Gave me the best haircut I’ve ever had, compliments from everyone. I love half the year in Rochester and will literally never go to anyone but him
Great, affordable haircuts! Aric always gives my husband a fresh look. Love him!
I work downtown and badly needed a haircut. I got in to see Drew, who did an excellent job on my haircut and was just a great guy to talk to. Very responsive to what the customer wants. Drew is a great barber and very nice guy. I would highly recommend him
I came in from Chicago for a wedding and I needed a haircut. Nicole was amazing! My haircut came out great and she gave me a shave! I couldnt have asked for better service for a great price. I highly recommend.
Great place, love the vibes and ALWAYS come out looking fresh
I have hard hair to cut. Ever barber has done a fantastic job. The massage I got from Jess was elite. This is a fantastic self-care place. Highly recommended.
Always a great experience and cut from all the master barbers there! Be sure to check out their beard oil and pomade too. Top notch fellas keep it up!EDIT June 2020 - Mike and his crew maintain excellent standards in cleanliness and distancing efforts. Aric is AWESOME! Even my mother (a beautician) commented that my fade was superb. Keep it up guys! You kill it!
Shawn is great. Tell him what you want and he takes the time to make it work and look better than you imagined.
Super relaxed. Welcoming vibe. Michael will treat your head like a bonsai tree. Sculpting with perfection. Just moved here, so I was super anxious about letting someone else cut the dome. No regrets whatsoever. Fade game is on point!
Great vibe and very professional. Was in town with a show at Shea’s, and I got a cut from Drew. He’s passionate about his craft and you can tell from the final look. Great cut and great conversation. Go to Architect and ask for Drew!
I’ve walked by here several times and always wanted to get a haircut from here. I gave them a call and was able to get an appointment easily and even got a confirmation on my phone. Came in and was greeted and then had Nate take care of me. I only had to tell him once as to what I needed to be done and he got everything right! A true professional indeed. Highly recommend coming here and supporting a great local business who really take care of their customers.
If youre looking for a great barber shop this is the spot. Im the kind of person that knows I need to get a haircut but never knows what I should get, or only a gist of what it is I want. Either way these guys have never let me down.
Ive been going here for probably about a year now. Professional, clean, and always a perfect cut. Went in recently a couple times before a job interview to get me hair and beard shaped up and Michael (one of the barbers/owner) got me ready for the interview and I ended up getting the job too. Ive had nothing but positive, and welcoming experiences here and would recommend anyone to try this place out.Also, great hair styling products that work perfectly with my hair.
Reinaro cuts my hair every time and does an amazing job. Never rushes a cut and always makes sure it comes out perfect. Always been satisfied having him cut my hair and wouldn’t go anywhere else.
I went to Architect for Men for a simple line up on my sides (the simplest haircut one can ask for) and they absolutely butchered my hair line. My hair was more proportional when I walked in to this place than when I walked out. They have wonderful marketing with the free coffee, boutique decor, and fruity creams they apply so generously. They offer just about everything besides a decent cut. Tomorrow I am going to a different barber to fix their mess. Some advice, lose the unnecessary extravagances and focus on the fundamentals of cutting hair.
I scheduled a quick lunch haircut at the first place I found on Google because I was too lazy to get my car from the garage and drive to Super cuts.. what I got was an AMAZING haircut and experience. The master barber is personable and an amazing barber. The salon is clean, modern, and has a big screen TV. I will be returning for my regular haircuts from now on!
First time I went there. Very clean and relaxing environment. Alvin gave me a great haircut exactly what I wanted and he took his time but wasn’t a potato. Parking sucks but that’s downtown buffalo for ya.
One of the worst haircuts I ever received. I needed to go somewhere else a week later because how uneven my cut was. There was no blend. The top was totally scrappy (longer in certain parts). The line for the part was uneven. How can they charge $25 when they can’t even do a proper haircut? You could go cheaper and elsewhere for a better cut.
Warm atmosphere. Good music. Nice design and layout. Great staff. Fresh cuts. Beer.... What else can I say?
Needed a quick cut on my lunch break and glad I picked this place. Atmosphere is great and Nate was fantastic. Got the perfect haircut. Definitely will be back. Couldn’t be happier. Thanks guys!
Always a good cut with good service. Always try to do their best. Highly recommend
Nice cut and great conversation with a skilled barber (Mike). The space is great. Staff is very accommodating. Making a reservation was extremely easy via their website. Downtown location is fantastic for lunch time or end of workday cut.
I highly recommend this place. The atmosphere is very welcoming and serene. Coffee/cold water is available while you wait for.your barber followed by some great times over the radio. Michael ( Owner) and Master barber is hands down one of the best to ever bless me with a pair of scissorsscissors, although he has a great team of barbers by inside. Priced very fairly considering the treatment you receive and their location.(Downtown buffalo on Main st)I even got a hot towel before my beard trimming and shave. Excellent customer service!I will most definitely be back. Id give 6 stars if I couldgi
Went for the very first time for a cut today and was thoroughly impressed with Architect. The layout and vibe of the place is awesome and the attention to detail and precision from Michael was amazing. Definitely will be coming back on a regular basis.
Legit barber! Tino is a good dude, Great to talk to, and very skilled. I got a cut and beard trim - perfectly blended and edged. I couldn’t possibly have got my beard looking this fresh on my own. Highly recommended, see you next month!Tom
Best place Ive ever been by far to get a haircut. Love the location the feel of the barbershop and how friendly everybody is. My barber Reinaro has done an excellent job cutting my hair, I get compliments wherever I go so you better believe Im going straight to him every two weeks for as long as he is cutting hair!
After seeing their reviews, I was already sold. Then I set up an appointment through their website, which was super smooth. Mike D. is amazing! Super consistent cuts. Make sure to get their architect for men structure product too, very high quality!
I tried this spot for a haircut as it is very conveniently located in downtown Buffalo. Staff was incredibly friendly, atmosphere well done and modern, barber (Mike) gave a great cut. I scheduled online which also made getting in and out very easy. Needless to say I will go back.
Great place! They hook you up with draft beers while you wait! It has a cool vibe just being there! All staff members were nice! Go see Reinaro for a great fade!
Beautiful shop, friendly staff. Felix is the man. Great attention to detail and a great dude.
This place is phenomenal! The vibe is great and the barbers are very skilled and communicative. Usually Reinaro cuts my hair but last visit he was not in so Nate cut my hair. I highly recommend both barbers. This is my go to place for a fresh cut!
I went in for a beard trim during my lunch hour, and did not wait long at all for my appointment. Mike was very personable and informative about what he recommends as far as what would look good on you. The guy had it down to a science, was very precise, and knew what he was doing. Ill definitely be back for another trim and get a haircut next time. Thanks!
I’m pretty picky about how my hair is done and Jake did a great job! I just moved to Buffalo from Denver and I think I just found my new barber. Thanks for a great cut
Moved out to Buffalo in June and came here for a cut. Got one from Reinaro and have been going to him since. Gives a great cut, good guy and always makes time for his clients. If youre going to see anyone when you go here make sure its him!!!
