Jamil is the REAL deal when it comes to cutting hair. He’s a master barber, meaning, there is nothing he hasn’t seen. His shop has clean finishes, fun amenities & even an aquarium. If I still lived in Cbus, we would be going on a decade [he was my barber for 7 years before I moved out West].

Been going here for almost two years now. By far my favorite barber shop that I have found in Columbus. The staff is very professional, keep the store clean and make good conversation. The owners two dogs are really nice as well. I personally get my hair cut by Chad, he has done an excellent job on every haircut and bear trim/shave Ive had from him.If you are looking for a new barber shop with experienced barbers in Columbus I highly recommend trying this place out.

Been going to Paragon for 5+ years. The service is top-tier, the people are second to none and the vibe is unmatched. I consistently walk out of there feeling like a new man and I always get a compliment or two on the fade which brightens my day. I never viewed getting a haircut as a luxury experience until I started getting cut at Paragon. Shoutout to the boss, Jamil, for bringing consistent quality throughout my years with Paragon.

I’ve been going to Chad for about 2 years now and I have nothing but good things to say. He really listens to what you want and takes a lot of pride in the quality of his work. Highly recommend coming to see him.

Chris was awesome, made a special appointment to get me in today with my work schedule. I recently moved back to Columbus and have been looking for a good barber for the last few months and have not found one close to as good as Chris. Really takes his time and takes pride in his work which I appreciate as I am very particular. Most barbers you find in the area are just turning and burning, you wont find that here. Will definitely be a permanent customer with Paragon moving forward. Shop was clean and professional. Thanks guys, keep up the good work.

Got a great cut from Chad. Laid back place, good conversation. Will be back for sure!

Chris always gives me a perfect, very detailed, skin tight fade. He always makes sure the cut works with your head and is all around the best it can be. He’s honestly a great guy and I highly recommend booking with him!

My boyfriend got a haircut here and he loved it. He booked an appointment with Chad. Chad was very nice and professional. He will definitely come back.

I never write reviews, but this crew deserves it. Ive been searching for a good barbershop for over a year since moving to Columbus, and I finally found it! Paragon is the real deal. They take the craft seriously without being pretentious or pushing product in your face. I have had my hair cut by Chris Phillips twice now, and cant wait to go back! He offers some of the most authentic and interesting conversation without sacrificing an ounce of quality on the cut. In fact, I have never had so many compliments on my hair as I have since I started going to Chris.

Ask for “Slate” and be prepared to tell everyone where you got a haircut.

Slade got me looking great for my birthday!!

Great service and great prices. Ive been going to Chad for a while and he always kills it. Very friendly and welcoming crew working there

Love this place and the two big doggos go see Slade!!

Yo Slade that guy, go get cut by him!! This place is Lowkey but the cuts are high key my g.

FriendlyWell versed in modern hard cuts. And older style of buzz cuts,afro sculpting.Wash and dry hair before you go.Male and female clientele.

Literally the best barber shop experience I have ever had! Chad is a master of his craft! Haircut and beard trim were perfect! 11 out of 10

This shop is incredible! Reasonable rates, personable staff, welcoming environment, knowledgable and professional barbers, seamless & upfront online booking, and just an all around positive experience! Would strongly recommend if your looking for a barber (& one that is walkable distance from OSUs south campus).

After 8 months, it was time to stop wearing hats and get a haircut. Ive been to Paragon a number of times and trust any of the barbers (including the owner, Jamil). Scheduling online is quick, easy, and syncs with Google Calendar™. I saw a few solid reviews for Chris and opted for the 9:30a slot.Chris is a professional and artful barber that takes pride at every step with his clients. His attentive communication and a relaxed shop atmosphere are a few reasons why I keep coming back to Paragon for a shape-up, beard line-up, or in this case the works.I was a bit apprehensive with Covid-19, but Chris wore a mask the entire time and kept a clean booth during the visit. After seeing the before and after photos, I quickly realized theres some things that need to be left in the hands of a pro.If youre looking to upgrade your grooming repertoire and make your partner smile more, Id highly recommend Chris or any of the barbers at Paragon.

Everyone Ive had there is great.

I am a native of Columbus, but have never stopped into Paragon until recently. I can without question say this is the best haircut I’ve ever received. I cannot say enough good things about CHRIS (aka No Collar Barber). He gave me exactly what I asked for and took the time to discuss the unique things about the way my hair grows to make sure my results were the best they could be. Laid back environment and he was in no rush to get me out of the seat. Great conversation, extreme attention to detail, and a relaxing experience. I’ve already scheduled my next cut with Chris. Make sure to ask for him!

Great work, Chad cared about what I needed done. Very happy with my experience

Went there for the first time today for a beard trim. Good barbers, and good atmosphere. Beard looks great.

The hours for Saturday: CLOSES@5PM. NOT 7PM.

Love this place. Quality work.

Chris fit me in his schedule the day of calling and gave me a great haircut. Don’t overlook this spot

Beat barber I’ve found in Columbus very clean an welcoming atmosphere love getting to see the pups when I’m there just all around a good time getting your haircut an always looking good an getting compliments after!

I came in for my first haircut in over 3 months due to quarantine and I was treated very well! Chris was professional, courteous and personable! I walked out more than satisfied with my new haircut and the time I spent getting it cut. I will definitely be going back!!

Chris is a great barber and the barber shop is excellent and is a very professional place to get your haircut great guys.

Carlos is a dope barber I only go to him but Ive seen the other barbers work and Ive never seen anyone with a messed up cut..

Fantastic people, fantastic haircuts

Chris Phillips is the man! Great guy and very talented barber. Check him out!

One of the best places to get a cut. Chad always has me looking my best. Great cuts and great atmosphere!

These guys are so friendly and talkative, absolutely one of the most comfortable places I’ve gotten a cut at. My man Chad took his time listening to the type of cut i wanted and executed PERFECTLY. Would recommend this place to anyone for sure, this place is fire

Had a lot of compliments for my cut. Dogs are dope [Italian Mastiffs].

I’ve been here twice and got my hair cut by Chris both times and he did great I’m for sure recommending this place and Chris I’m going to be coming back for a long time

Chad is an excellent barber with meticulous attention to detail and a sense of pride in what he does. After my last barber retired, I had a bad experience at another shop and then stopped in to see Chad. Within a few cuts, he made every adjustment I asked for and had it looking perfect.The shop is welcoming, price is fair and they have a shop dog. Whats not to like?

Great hair cut and locally owned

Greatest barbershop Ive ever been to. A unique and comfortable location with a friendly atmosphere. Go see Chad, and youll not be leaving disappointed. An amazing barber with a clear passion for his art, and a need to perfect his craft!

When i walk in there i straight up feel like family, not only there equipment is great but also there behavior with customers is awesome.💈

Best barber I’ve ever been to, in 14 countries and 18 cities. Jamil is careful to select excellent barbers and you can count on a quality cut. I recommend the hot towel shave 👌🏽

Great personal service here. Mostly only men’s cuts available. The owner has a big Italian mastiff inside, but he is a gentle giant.

Great price, excellent service. Carlos knows what’s up. I showed him a picture of what I was looking for and he didn’t disappoint. Definitely recommend.

Great shop. Great barbers. Great owner. Classy, and you always feel comfortable walking in as you can lounge and hang out before and after your cut. More importantly cuts are always on point. Parking is always easy which is rare downtown as well.

The atmosphere at this barbershop is warm and welcoming, along with a rustic yet modern feel makes this the perfect place for a shave and a haircut. The waiting area is comfortable and the customer parking is an added convenience that adds to the experience. The regulars at this shop are never short on conversation and laughs that can be enjoyed by all walks of life. If you are tired of simply getting a haircut and want to have a full service barber lounge experience this is the shop for you.

Always professional the environment is great, makes you feel like family. My husband sees Carlos and have no complaints he is awesome. Keep up the good work!!

Got my hair cut by Chad. He was a perfectionist and made sure everything was lined up perfectly. By far the best beard trim I have ever received. Great conversation and great atmosphere.

Excelent service. My son is a client at the Paragon Barber Shop! Dedication and service of staff is excellent. They not only give an excellent service but also treat clients like family! Recommended 100%

Chad is an awesome individual. I highly recommend the barbers that work here.

These guys are super friendly and make getting a fresh cut an easy and awesome experience. I cant put enough emphasis on how great the haircuts are here. Plus its all in a classy and comfortable environment. Ask for Jamil!

What a great experience. Chad did a great job with my hair. Great atmosphere. Highly recommend it.

Hands-down, best barbershop in Columbus. Have sent all my friends to this place because of the quality and environment. Its a relaxing and fun time at Paragon and is an hour of my day I look forward to all week!

Hit up Paragon for a mint cut from an actual barber

Fresh line up by my boy Jamil

Best haircut Ive gotten in the Short North... Staff was super friendly and it was only $16!! (I believe thats their Tuesday special)

I told Slade what I wanted and he did it exactly right! Already getting complements on the cut! Very solid, sweet atmosphere. Would recommend! Skilled barbers than can cut any type of hair.

Great guys. great barbershop, great cut! Will definitely be getting my haircut there from now on. Slade hooked me up with a SICK fade!

Great haircut, Chad listened to what i wanted, did a Quality job, and wanted to make sure i thought it was perfect before I left. The shop had a good atmosphere, was laid back, and friendly just like you would expect from a local barbershop.

Yo. These guys are awesome! Made the mistake of letting just anyone cut my hair and laid the price but along came these guys and they fixed my fade, line up and part. So skilled they can make a masterpiece out of a mistake!!

Jamel’s haircuts are always on point.

Made an appointment, store was closed for no apparent reason and nobody was there but a dog inside.EDIT: Upgraded to a 3 due to owner’s response but I literally did not get a voicemail and the cancellation email was like 5 hrs late.
