Moved to North Carolina and needed to find a new place to get a haircut. Read the reviews and liked what I read. Set up an appointment. Kay was great. I showed her a picture of what I was looking for and BOOM, she made it look just like that. Highly recommend. Good atmosphere. Good price. Great haircut. Thanks!
Been here a few times have always walked in and had no problems or a bad haircut each time. This most recent time Kay did an amazing job cutting my hair and trimming my beard. She knew exactly what I wanted even before I said anything. Definitely recommend.
Great location, clean, welcoming environment. We especially liked our services by Kay! She is skilled at precision cutting, super-friendly and funny. Well definitely be repeat customers!
The guys place is a great spot to get a relaxed and confident cut. I adore Myra and her service. She’s great at what she does and really makes you feel cared for. Thank you Myra!!
I asked for the person cutting my hair not to cut my hair too short and showed her a picture of the previous haircut and she freaking left me with short hair. If I wanted a buzz cut I’d go to the army. She was polite and asked if I needed anything else, but not like I can ask her to regrow my hair… I specifically asked her to only fix the top but not cut it too short… ok here’s what I asked for which is my normal haircut vs what I got: * edit I don’t want a rebuttal about the tip bc 5$ was the lowest I could leave *another edit not even an apology below but instead being lashed out at. How should customers feel comfortable going there?
I am very satisfied with the haircut I received from Kay, she did a very good job. I will definitely come back to visit your establishment again. Thanks Kay
I loved it for my son. She was great and patient with him. I was so nervous and worried being that we were just visiting town and I know my son is very BUSY. I can’t thank Kay from guys place enough!!! Go see her yourself!
Kay was such an amazing hair stylist! She was super professional and I highly recommend her for your next haircut! Way to go Kay! You made my family’s Labor Day weekend!!
My boyfriend goes here to get his haircut by Kay, she’s an amazing stylist and always does a good job on his cut.
Emily did an amazing job on my hair and was super professional making sure it looked exactly the way I wanted
@KayWilliams she is pretty decent, sharp and thorough! Great addition to the team!!👍🏿
Miss Kay was very in helping my husband with a really nice hair style for our family pictures
Kay did a very good job with my haircut, I’m definitely coming back.
I came in for a simple lineup and i definitely got that but it also cane with great conversations and customer service. Thanks Kay!!
Service was amazing! Kay is great at her job and personality matches!!
John cuts my hair regularly and is very professional. This time I added a beard trim, very well done. Clean, professional service at competitive prices
Kay Williams is a great professional I cant wait for my next vist
A great place with quick turnaround for a new client, me! Becca was very nice, polite, and understood my style needs. Though masking is required, I cant wait to see what razor shaves, etc. will be used. Inexpensive, good products and a nice shoulder massage to boot. Not gimmicky, just comfortable. Plus, the price is what the price is! No surprises.
Kay was great. Very thorough and provided a great cut
I have been a customer for years. Flavia spent 9 minutes cutting my hair and that includes the check in and check out. No offer to rinse or shampoo, or a shoulder massage which has been standard for years. I would understand if they were busy but there were no other customers in the place. I am going shave my head now.
Kay was the best! She got me right on the fade.
Kay is a great stylist definitely will be coming back ‼️
Called in to schedule an appt bc online appt wasnt working and when I went in, they didnt schedule it so I had to make a new one. Bad experience
Enjoyed it, gave me exactly what I asked for at a fair price.
If youre looking for a new place to get your hair cut then your search is over. A Guys Place in Durham has been the most consistently awesome barber Ive been to in the area (and Ive tried a few) while also being easy to get an appointment at, AND its pretty reasonably priced.Amber is my go-to from now on because she is extremely detail-oriented. I get a pretty basic cut, but she spends the time to make it look perfect. Plus, shes such a cool person to talk to. Seriously- go book an appointment right now. Youll wish your hair grew faster.
Great place. Eventially, I didnt make up my hair grooming. I kept the appointment but unfortunately the stylist doesnt know how to do a razor.
Ive been getting my haircut from this place since I moved to the area and I always have a good service. Today, Amber cut my hair and she did a phenomenal job. Not only am I completely satisfied with my cut but she was an all around pleasure to work with. Thank you for the service and the hospitality.
Shantise has been cutting my hair for the last 3 years. She does a fantastic job and I am so happy with the services she provides. I could not ask for a better stylist. I love that she shampoos my hair twice, its the best part of my day!
Quality haircut. Love the staff. Dont feel rushed. Now my regular haircut stop.
The staff here is amazing especially the newest stylist, Kay!
As usual my visit was punctual and the staff was very professional. My barber John always cut my hair(what I have left) too my exact specifications. Very good visit!
Consistent hair cuts and friendly staff. The only thing I don’t like is their credit card machine suggests tips starting at 24% and increases in 5 dollar increments. For a $20 haircut that seems odd.
Shan is my regular and she is amazing! She listens to what I want and makes suggestions about style and what works for my hair. We always have a good time during my appointment - laughing and sharing stories. The rest of the crew has always been very nice and professional. Ive been coming here for years and will continue. Great place for a haircut!
Go see Emily she’s amazing!
I go to The Guys Place whenever I can for a simple mans haircut. I have been groomed by several of the team there and always receive a great haircut. Shan is my favorite due to her maticulous care. I never get the feeling that she is in a hurry or would rather be somewhere else. Not that the other cutters are like that, but she just pays close attention to the little details that make the difference between an OK cut and a great one.
This is a great place, clean, and detail oriented. Wonderful job. You have to ask for Becca, she did a fantastic job and valued my input. Will definitely be back.
Shan did a great job cutting my hair. I thought the cost made the experience a great value. Additionally, I enjoyed talking with her.
Kay does an amazing job!!
My stylist Becca St. John was very professional and did an amazing job on my hair cut. Very impressed and pleased.
Excellent service and friendly faces all around. If you’re in need of a mullet (or any cut) that’s stylish, comfortable, and affordable, ask for Amber she does great work.
It was the epitome of luxury. Shout out to Shantise, she is amazing and very nice! I enjoy her cutting my hair each time.
Shan was awesome! This was my 2nd time here and it has not disappointed! Very clean and great value for the price! The shampoo and neck massage are also a great touch! Cant wait to go back!
My hudsband - Ken Bogue is always so happy with his hair cut and wont wear a hat so he can show his haircut when he goes out. Great Service and excellent haircuts.
Estelle did a great job on my hair
Shantice is Amazing not only is she a true artist with her craft but an amazing soul! if only we had more individuals proud of what they do and are always striving to do their best!
I always get a great cut when I come here. I will say my son wasnt too happy. he did not want his top touched and they took about an inch and a half off. He cant see when he doesnt have his glasses on so he didnt know
The only place I go to get a haircut which includes shampoo and conditioning.
Great trim and style on my beard!
For the best haircut in the triangle you have to ask for AMBER at the Guys Place Durham, NC. She takes the time to make your hair cut perfect each and every time!
I drive all the way from Greensboro to go to the Durham location. Ive had many different salon associates cut my hair over the last 6 years or so and Ive never had a bad cut!
Amber did a phenomenal job and cut my hair exactly how I wanted it. This is now my go-to spot for haircuts.
I moved to the area recently and I know go here exclusively for my haircuts. The people here are good at what they do and the price is reasonable. Standard treatment includes a hot towel and shoulder massage. A great experience overall. I would highly recommend putting in an appointment beforehand though. Ask for Lashaunda and shell get you taken care of.
I have been going to The Guys Place since I moved to Durham. Jenna is fantastic at what she does, and is the #1 reason that I keep coming back. She is friendly and courteous, as well as being very knowledgeable and professional. She understands a good customer service experience, and how to treat people. I have recommended her to others, and my son now insists on getting his hair cut by Jenna at The Guys Place. Thanks for all that you do!
How do I put half a star ??... didn’t notice how bad my hair cut turned out, regular cut with a neck shave $20 bucks cash and left a $5 tip. Turn out to be the worse haircut I ever got. The same day I took my son to cookie cutters and they did a way better job & his 2 years old I can’t believe how they lady cuts hair for a living!! My first experience was good not nearly as bad, but for the price I expect better. Never going back to this place.
Dirty dusty booths, associate did not try to get to know me the potentially new client. The lady who cut my hair didnt really care to cut it properly nor did she get to know me. The owner apparently ignores employees and or clients that bring up issues. They use old dirty rags that are supposed to be hot and moist to warm your face with but are just hot dry towels with no moisture so the benefit of the hot towel is pointless. Store could use updating and or a remodel and the owners probably have been told by the employees about it and they refuse to fix anything. The location is a joke if you ask me. Full Services they so called provide you are not worth the price. I was looking to also spend more then just on the hair cut and of course the lady was rude and did not want to sell me those services. The employees lack customer service skills and are bitter.I would be too if the owner didnt make sure the store was clean and up to date.... This location I would highly not recommend for those guys looking to get a hair cut and other services. You can go to far better places and spend the same exact money and get what you pay for! A Guys Place is a place to go if you want a really bad hair cut and style.... I am not the first to complain or write such a review but the lack of ownership by the owners is ridiculous.... They think they have nothing to worry about and wonder why business will eventually decline. They refuse to listen to customers and they refuse to listen to employees. The store is in dire need of a remodel and the owners are too cheap to invest in their employees and business....When I was taken to the booth the first thing I noticed is how dirty the place was.... all the mirrors in the place were dirty and every stall had dust everywhere. You cant expect to be in business when you cant even keep the place clean and then that brings up the issue of sanitation of equipment they are using. If the booths are dirty then so is their equipment.Guys please stay away from this place.....The owners also live in their own little world where they ignore any problems that arise at the location and refuse to do anything about it.
Thought I would try this place out today and walked in with no appointment and was graciously asked if I didn’t mind to wait for 1/2 hr for next available. Since I wasn’t in a hurry I waited in there spacious and relaxing chairs. To my surprise 15 min later Rosie called me back and gave me a great haircut! Will definitely come back again. Place was clean and well kept and all staff were very courteous and kind.
Request Becca the next time you go! Shes amazing!
I’ve had fantastic experiences with Bess at her previous salon, and wanted to let the world know that this is where she works now! RUN, DO NOT WALK, to schedule your brow wax with Bess at A Guy’s Place! She does a fantastic job with men, women, and all genders!! She really listens to what I want and is a great conversationalist! I seriously could not be happier with my results time after time and can’t wait to see her again soon.
Great place for a quick cut! Jenna has been cutting my hair for almost 3 years now and let me tell you shes fantastic. AMAZING shampoo. I always make my appointments with Jenna and Ive never waited more than 5 mins to be seen. All the staff that I have encountered have always been professional and helpful. 5 stars all the way!
Great place for a quick haircut, kind and courteous hair stylists! During this Covid 19 stuff they are taking all necessary precautions as you enter the store and get your hair cut.
This is the only place I ever get a haircut. The staff is friendly and skilled. The price is excellent. And I always get compliments on their work.If youre looking for those high dollar, salon experiences that take all afternoon, this isnt the place. But if you want a quality cut from quality people at a quick pace, I highly recommend The Guys Place.
Made my husband an appointment for 2:20PM on Sunday after good reviews from friends who visit the Raleigh location. He walked in at 2:26PM and was told his appointment was cancelled due to being late. They referenced a “5 minute late policy” which is not noted on their website nor were we informed of this over the phone. Beware when scheduling appointments here.***Editing to respond to the owner:Thank you for your timely response. I have now navigated your website to find the hyperlink required to click on to read your policy - which still does not reference a 5 minute late policy. It is a shame that customers arriving 6 minutes late our turned away for service especially for an initial appointment.Your appointment policy states, We will do our best to accommodate you by placing you into the walk in wait list, reschedule your appointment, or call our other local shops to see if they would be able to see you right away - none of which was done by your staff. You dont have to worry about us utilizing your services in the future. My husband was able to get a job another barber in town and was highly satisfied with the service.
This is a fantastic salon/barbershop! Best part? Open on Sundays. Highly recommend!
I have gone to John twice for my haircut- and it is quick, effficient, and perfect. They have a strict policy about being 5+ minutes late to be aware of, but when I was 6-7 minutes late John was kind about it. I also went in once for a free neck trim between haircuts which was quick and also perfect! The staff is kind and I would definitely recommend coming here.
The appointment at this store is a completely joke.I made an appointment a day before, and the second day I arrived at the salon right on time, they made me wait for 40 minutes. What’s ridiculous is that during the time I was waiting, they have at least two stylist sitting around having nothing to do.Weird right? So I asked the receptionist why I’m I still waiting, and I didn’t ask for a specific stylist at all for my appointment. Her answer was even though I didn’t pick a stylist, they still assign me to one, and that stylist is currently servicing the customer before me, and it went too long. I was like how about one of the other stylists that are sitting around? She said they have appointment, and their customer haven showed up yet.You know what’s more ridiculous? The receptionist told me, next time when I make an appointment, I have to specifically tell them that I need a buffer. So they can leave some time before the previous appointment. Excuse me, are you serious? Who the EFF know that I have to tell them to be on time for my service? What’s the point of making an appointment then? You waisted 40 minutes of my time waiting there like an idiot. Their stupid appointment system is a completely joke!!!When it’s finally my turn, the dude didn’t even apologize or saying anything but did a really bad haircut. I didn’t say anything, and I paid the tip that I supposed to pay. I used to go there all the time, and this was the second time they messed up my appointment. So after this time, I’m not going back there anymore. Also, I will tell this awful experience to everybody I know.Really awful experience. Really awful business.
Becca has given me the best haircut since I moved to the triangle. Trusted her with my haircut before proposing and she did not let me down—I’m now engaged haha
Awesome employees! Great atmosphere! Great haircuts and very comfortable. Ask for Courtney or Tracy.
I had looked this place up on google and seen some good reviews recently so i thought i would try it out. Unfortunately these reviews are misleading. Going further back on the reviews everything is more accurate. Receptionist was short and rude. Stylist, who i believe was the manager was short with me. Over heard her cussing at the desk when i didnt hear her instructions to go to her station. Every other time Ive gotten my hair cut elsewhere the stylist always greeted me so this caught me off guard. She didnt talk the entire time and my shampoo was all of 30 seconds. If this is how the management acts, i can only imagine how the rest of the store acts.Edit:After putting up this review the owner did not try to apologize, did not even try to solve the problem but instead called me a competitor and moved along. This is a horrible way to run a business! Also you do it publicly on google! DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE
Consistency is the issue, here, if you are one to just pop in for a haircut. Everyone is competent and friendly, but making an appointment is the way to go with someone you trust. Great for the whole family, and conversations are always enjoyable. Great place for mens hair products, as well. Marketing is a little masculine and feels like its trying to be cool, but at least it has some ethos.
I always love the service. Getting a massaging shampoo, condition and a shoulder massage can completely turn around my mood for the day. Everyone is always friendly. Rosy always treats me well!
Jenny gives me the best haircuts Ive ever had. She gets my hair looking exactly how I want it (even discussing options with me when Im not sure what I want), and she is a pleasure to be around. When Im feeling talkative she provides great conversation, and when Im feeling tired she makes sure the TV is turned to whatever I want to watch (oh yeah, you get your own TV!) The space is pleasant, clean, and comfortable. Haircuts are extremely affordable and include wash and a back massage.
Ive been going here for about a year now and absolutely love the atmosphere and the friendliness of the staff. I recently have been seeing Bess and she is absolutely phenomenal. The cuts are right and her personality is a 10. Make sure you ask for her she wont steer you wrong!
I didnt go to have a lady in a leopard print apron tell me about covid-19 being a conspiracy while my wife works in the hospital dealing with it daily. Totally unprofessional. I will not be back.
I brought my son in for a haircut about a week ago. Ariel was very helpful! Wonderful service!
They were able to take my walk in. They were all very pleasant and attentive! Great conversation, of course, great hair cut! I would recommend The Guys Place to family and friends. Awesome job 🙌🏻
Good place for a decent hair cut at a cheap price. Rosie is particularly fantastic. I would give this place a much better rating if I hadnt read through the owners response to other reviews. Please learn how to take constructive criticism. Your responses read like those of an insecure 9-year old.
Best place Ive found in a while.
Great haircut! Thanks Amber!
Probably one of the worst customer service experiences you will come across. I called at 1pm and asked if they had time for a walk in or if I should just make an appointment and was told there was plenty of time and no need to make an appointment. I got there and waited almost 45 min to an hour. I had customers apologizing to me because they notice the bad customer service I got. I even noticed the staff looking at me like oh boy I hope this guy does not get angry and say something.While I was getting my hair cut the person doing it literally got up and left to answer the phone 3 times during the process. It would have been fine until she didnt realize she cut my sides uneven. I was so pissed off I didnt even get the shampoo and just paid and left.Not worth paying the money to get treated by the staff so terribly with angry attitudes. I even told the woman hey can you not take out your frustration on my hair. What I complete joke this place was literally no pride in the work they do. MORE MONEY for less customer service they hold true to that!.
This place offers solid haircuts. Ive been going here for a few years. Appointments tend to fill up, though. You can usually get one if you call early. The process have gone up considerably, though. Used to be a cut for$12 and now its over $17. Also, they charge extra for using a credit card. Seems odd for a chain business. They offer peanuts in the lobby and TVs while you get the cut, which is nice.
OK, I’ll be honest, I feel a little guilty giving money to a place with such a cartoonishly masculinized premise —BUT— I got a quick appointment and a great haircut at a good price. More than once!
Best bargain in all of Durham. Eleven dollars would be cheap for a haircut anywhere, but then they throw in a shampoo and conditioner, and a shoulder massage! I paid four times that once for the same services. The staff is attentive and efficient; I was in and out in less than half an hour and I got one of the best haircuts Ive had in a long time.
Great place to get your haircut. I have been twice and have not been disappointed. Its around $15 for a haircut, shampoo, hot towel, and quick shoulder massage. Very relaxed atmosphere.Update: It is impossible to walk in now. You have to have an appointment. Which is ridiculous for a Mens Haircut place. Also their prices went up.
The lady was so rough with the clippers my scalp on the back of my head has bloody spots and she left the cape so lose hair went all down the back of my neck! Don’t waste your time or money here unless you’re desperate.
I love getting my hair cut here. Rosie is my favorite and she is always consistent in the way she has cut my hair for the last year. Nancy has also been awesome when Rosie isnt available. My favorite part is the hot towel and the shoulder massage after the hair cut. It makes my day wonderful and I think they undercharge at $17-$18 for a mens haircut.
I started going to Jenna when my friends referred her to me because I really needed a haircut. She never lets me down and she always amazes me with the outcome of my haircut. I walk out look and feeling a hundred times better.
This place is great. I recommend it to every guy out there. Genuine ladies.Krystal did a fantastic job. She was very friendly, held a nice conversation the entire time, and all around gave a great experience and made me want to come back.The place is wonderful. I didnt wait at all on a Tuesday at 8:00 at night. They have booths sectioned off so you feel alone and they have TVs in each booth! Loved that.A wonderful hair cut followed by a nice hot towel on the face, shampoo, condition, and an added shoulder massage with a neat little instrument.Overall if I could rate it better, I would.
Step up from the barber and get a haircut. Good location, walk up is easy, lots of places walking distance. Casual environment, well staffed.
Just moved to the area within the past year and have been on the hunt for a good barbershop. I have been to this location twice in the past two months and service has been excellent. NOTE!!! PLEASE CALL AHEAD TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT. They have a very busy shop and may not be able to fit you in if you do not schedule an appointment. Dont be the a**hat walk-in who comes in 15 mins before they close to get a haircut and expect to get one. You wont get one since they dont take appointments that close to closing.Service is excellent overall and they are very accommodating. I have recommended them to friends and co-workers as well and they love the service at this place.
I made an appointment. I hit some slow traffic on the way and was 6 minutes late. I thought nothing of it. Went to the counter to let them know I was there and got a serious attitude from the receptionist. I was informed there was a 5 minute late policy and I had to wait longer. I was not informed of this when making the appointment and did not consider my tardiness that bad. That combined with the terrible attitude made me turn around and walk out. I cannot see ever using this place due to really lousy customer service.
This place is amazing! You walk in, sit down almost immediately, they hand you a remote for your very own tv, and thats just the start. Staff is very friendly and talented (I recommend Jenna), and they are attentive to detail. For 11 bucks (plus a good tip), I was able to get a great haircut, wash, eyebrow/facial hair trim, plus a shoulder massage! You cant beat a deal like that! This is a great business that I know I will be supporting in the future.
Since I have been traveling through the area quite a bit recently I needed to find a place that could fit me in with my hectic schedule. I arrived at 6:36 PM without an appointment and they had me out the door by 7:05 with a great haircut for an excellent price. Great atmosphere and quite a few small children and normal folks as well. I had a good conversation with my barber and felt very comfortable.
Great staff and peanuts (precovid)
The manager is great and I never have to wait. I have been going to this store for many years without any problems. You can make an appointment or walk in. If they have to cancel your appointment for any reason, the store will inform you days prior to your appointment and you can reschedule. I give this store 5 stars.
Ive never had a bad haircut here in the 2-3 years that Ive been going, and the price is still fair. They havent ever messed up any appointments either. The downside, to me, is that whenever I find a good stylist that I trust, they leave. So as long as youre not picky about who you see, this place is really good for the $.
Can usually get an appointment at your convenience. Very seldom get the same person twice.
I just moved to Durham from Orlando. I got my hair cut at a different place and they had no idea what they were doing. I had uneven sideburns and hair all over my face when I left.Found the Barbershop on google and it sounded similar to a lot of the places I frequented in Orlando before I moved. Came in without an appointment on Saturday and was in a chair within 10 minutes. I told Jenna how I wanted it cut and she knew exactly what I wanted. Fantastic service and I couldnt be happier with my haircut. I will be coming to the barbershop every few weeks to keep it nice and tidy. The shop also uses American Crew products which Ive found to be fantastic. I couldnt ask for anything else from this shop, the price is ridiculously cheap, Id easily pay more for the haircut I got.
I really like this place and for the price it cant be beat. Be forewarned however that if you make an appointment and you are over 5 minutes late they will move on to someone else and you will have to make a new appointment. I have heard plenty of people be upset with the staff because they are slightly late and they are not allowed to slide right in line while sometimes the hair stylists are 10 minutes late without repercussion. But thats business and their 5 minutes late policy is clearly stated.
Yes, asked questions on how I wanted it cut. Yes, agreed the length to cut off. Yes agreed not to buzz the sides. However, dont believe the hype for a second. It all depends on who you get and whether that person will provide the hair cut you request or just do what they want. We agreed on 1/2 off of the length I came in with. She then cut about an inch off of the top, then before I knew what she was doing, she quickly cut 2 inches off one side even though the top was too short. Because.... I had to, to make it shorter than the top. I think she only knows one hair cut!! beware
