Great location, honest pricing, nice staff who will be as interactive (or not) with you as you please. Sports on the TV and old school seats from Dukes past to use while your wait for a haircut to complete the vibe.
Great place to get a hip haircut! Friendly barber
First and foremost, great haircuts. Friendly and bright people who have a wide range of interests. Went here after the worst haircut in my life (somewhere else!) and got the best haircut in my life at American Tobacco. New to area, and glad to have found a shop I trust and enjoy.
Love this shop. Included is a hot lather shave on the back of the neck. Ask for Tenekka, she’s awesome.
Great place for a Saturday morning haircut. They take the time to do it right...warm towels, straight razor shave, great bear trim. Definitely a great 💈!
Quick enough for a Saturday morning. Service varies between individual barbers. Not cheap, but will be back.
The folks at American Tobacco were gracious and nice, but I asked my barber if he had any experience cutting straight hair and he assured me that yes indeed he knew....he unfortunately was not experienced at cutting straight hair and left parts of my hair longer than others. I asked for a mid fade (up the sides and back to about mid way up) not an undercut and he went all the way up into an undercut after I clearly told him not to go up! Hair will grow back but I won’t be visiting them again!
Quality cut at an affordable price and the service was fast. I popped in during my lunch break and had enough time to eat after!
I took my one year son to get his hair cut this past Sunday morning and we had a great experience! Mr.Johnathon did an excellent job with his hair! My little guy was not fussy or annoyed throughout the duration of the cut. Maybe it was because he had two lollipops while sitting in the chair and watching the news! We will definitely come back for the great service!
I got one of the best haircuts of my life from Scotty. Thanks for the great haircut and a nice conversation. Ill definitely come back.
Solid shave and a haircut. Ambiance is great. Tony helped me out and stayed past when he would ordinarily leave to give me a straight razor shave. Also, American Tobacco is just a really cool campus — its quickly becoming one of my favorite places in Durham, and places like this are part of the reason why. Itd be nice if theyd throw a shampoo in with a shave & haircut.
Great barber shop! Never saw anyone walk out with a bad cut, and I will brag on my barber - Tenekka “Red” Whitaker. She is awesome! If you are in Durham and need a hair tune up - check em out!
I love this barber shop. No frills, just four chairs, two TVs, and great haircuts. I dont have a specific barber I ask for as I have never received a bad haircut from any of them. Ill walk in at lunch time and usually be in a chair within 10 minutes, if not immediately. The dont take credit cards, so make sure to stop by the ATM in the American Tobacco lobby before you go.
Its kinda hit or miss depending on who you land with. I had a great haircut one time and very average the other so if you find a good one there stick with him/her
Great haircuts! There also a cafe right outside the door (Saladelia). Clarence Smallwood cut my hair and did an excellent job.
Its the place I go to get me my fresh on. This place can style some hair. Give you the care you really need. They all good like that, including this place.
Brought my 2 year old son here after he got a terrible haircut at the kids hair shop down near Target. Scotty does a great job with kids - told my son what was going to happen before he started cutting; let him hold the clippers; put Curious George on the TV to watch. Gave him a good haircut considering how bad it looked going in to the shop. If youre going to spend your money on a good haircut for your child, Scotty makes the investment worth it.
I was in town for work and needed a quick trim. Great service and hospitality. Cant recommend them highly enough!
Very satisfied with the service. I have cancer andwentinan to get he and face shaved. Tenekka took her time, added several nice touches, and was professional.
This is a traditional barber shop. Loved the straight razor shave. Great atmosphere, barbers are very talented & entertaining. Park in the south parking deck for easy access.
I hate haircuts. Hate them. I went to American Tobacco Barber Shop and had the best haircut Ive had in a long time. The crew was great to chat with and I got a great haircut besides. They made me look forward to my next cut.
I liked everything about the American Tobacco Barbershop! The staff was very nice and made you feel welcomed and very interesting conversations.
Love the attention to detail. The vibe is great. ESPN on two screens! Always satisfied with the service.
I live like 4 hours away and Everytime I go visit family in Durham I swing by and get a cut. Scotty is a great barber.
Only the best. 5 stars is an understatement wish I could give 10..... An u get free beer while u wait!!!!!
Good service and friendly staff.
Got my hairs cut here twice. The first time I asked for a low fade and a trim on top. I got exactly what I asked for but didnt like it the cut. The second time I asked for a medium fade and a trim on top. The barber instead gave me an undercut (not at all what I asked for!) and left large patches of hair on the sides uncut that I had to fix myself.
I have been going there for nearly seven years. I look forward to haircuts because they do a great job and I get to spend a half hour with what I consider to be good friends.
The team at American Tobacco Barber Shop have always been professional, timely and talented. They foster a relaxed and unpretentious atmosphere and make it a point to get to know their customers.
Tony and the rest of the crew are very talented. They do a great job every time.
The best place in Durham for that true old time barber shop experience, great cuts, great conversation.
Tony is that dude. Great haircuts, TV, beer, and good conversation. What more can you ask for.
I have known Tony for a long time great guy and the best barber I know. Thanks
So, this is my go-to place for getting my hair cut. But I’m here at 9am and you guys aren’t open. No signs or postings on FB or your website to indicate you’d be closed this weekend. Kind of annoyed.
Because men belong in barber shop thats why !!!Highly recommended.tip: get there using the free bull city connector bus from Duke in only 10 min.
Need a haircut...Tony can cut all types of hair. BEST IN DURHAM!
This is the best, most consistent authentic barbershop between Durham and Chapel Hill.
Great Barber shop! No waiting
The shop is nice but I just had the most expensive and worst fade ever.
Best cuts I have ever had!
Great cut. Appointments or walk in.
They are not very inclusive.
Great cut, conversation and atmosphere everytime!
April is the best around
Ive tried to come here for the last two weeks. I somehow always show up when they ate closed. I dont understand who can come here when it opens.
Wonderful people
Ignored me
