I just received The worst $30 haircut/shape up or whatever you want to call it smh. NC plz make sure these kids are on top of there game before you let them cut . I seen some crazy cutting while I was in there and people like me cherish there hair. Not saying don’t give the kids a shot but make sure the profile is up to par before they have someone sit down in that chair. A bad haircut/a good haircut and change someone entire mood. I’ll just take my 30 drive to get what I want. Good luck with this shop.
Hands Down the the BEST CUT I have had here in NC! Tried them out for the first time yesterday and I am more then happy with the work Leeza provided. Clean, courteous, professional etc… I will definitely be a Regular moving forward.
Kendrick was fantastic! Super quick and efficient I will definitely be coming back.
Kendrick is an artist. He really took his time and made my beard right. I could tell that the other folks working here are also awesome. I would highly recommend this place.
Fantastic atmosphere and fantastic Service. Nicole took time to listen to my concerns and what I wanted to do. Explained why I wanted wasnt really possible with my hair and offered alternatives. She took her time and made sure I was completely happy with the entire experience. Will absolutely be going again when I need another trim.
Use to keep my grandson’s haircut nice when he spent time with his granny! That’s been years ago. He is 15 now, that was oh about 9 years ago. Good to see you guys are still thriving. Professional, courteous service! Bless
This was the best hair cut Ive had in years. There was an obvious expertise at play, that is missing in a lot of the chain hair salons. Even though its a no frills place, to me it was worth the price. That neck trimmer could do with some sharpening though...
I love this barbershop. They’re professional; I don’t wait past my appointment time. I like my barber, Corey, who always does a great job. This is my primary and only barbershop I go to because of the excellent services they provide.
Kayla does phenomenal work! Shes super knowledgeable, gives good advice, and is very helpful when youre not sure exactly what you want. She was a good conversation and made me a customer for life. 10/10.
Nice and comfortable environment professional service.. I had the pleasure to be groomed by Nicole. She’s a sure win, and has definitely earned my business. Thank you.
Great experience... Will be referring Nicole Meeks to everyone I know. Amazing 💯
Went there for the first time today to try a new local spot and absolutely loved it. Place was clean, music was great, energy inside was awesome, and this dude Corey did me right. I dont see myself going anywhere else anytime in the near future as long as this spot is still here.
Great environment the staff made me feel very welcome and comfortable. It was my first time coming. Nicole did a wonderful job on my shape up. She had wonderful customer service.
Tim is awesome and always gets me right ✊🏾👊🏾
It’s a wonderful, professional and tends to the needs of customer. I highly recommend Jason Lopez. He’s skillful and handles every cut with care. Super talented barber.
I tell you I have to update my review every time I have the pleasure of acquiring appointment at this place. I wish to God I was the type of person that could make or schedule appointments for haircuts and beard trims and stick to them. If I could I would look amazing as I do right now all the time. I actually end up with a different barber everytime I come here because again the times are so spread out. This time my cut and beard was done by a young man named Kendrick who I thoroughly enjoyed my conversation with. Thats the other thing you literally have a good conversation with someone while they are cutting your hair. Im serious my hair and beard never looks as good as it does when I visit the Renaissance Barber shop. I dont have a clue who owns this place but I want to thank them for being a staple in my neighborhood. I have been here since 2006 and I think they were here before I got here. Please youve got to visit this place if you can find an appointment... They are constantly booked, So plan ahead.
Got a haircut here for the first time and while it wasnt exactly what I wanted, it was still decent. For the most part things were executed well. This shop could be taking COVID more seriously. A guest didnt have his mask on while he was getting a haircut and he walked out without it on. A barber himself also walked out of the back room without a mask on. The barber I got shook my hand which felt weird in a pandemic. He lined up my sides in a way I did not ask him to. I could have cleared that up better on my part but it was weird of him not to ask.
Walk ins welcome is a complete lie. After a business hour confirmation and thirty minute drive, I arrive to a closed shop at 3 pm. I called the number posted on the door 4 times with no response. I have to say this was a huge let down from a black owned business. Im beyond disappointed.
Place is fire 🔥 reminds me of the barbershops in NY and FL. They’re awesome the cut is clean and sharp! Will be going back soon! The vibe here is so chill and friendly!
My first experience at this barbershop and it was wonderful. My haircut by Leeza is exceptional. I should her a picture and she was on point. I will definitely be going back.
I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a new barber. My son needed a last minute haircut and they were open on Sunday. When we walked in we were greeted by friendly faces. You saw all different races coming in and received the same level of superb service. Brandon who cut my sons hair took his time and made my son feel super comfy. We will be coming back! Keep up the great work everyone!
Great experience today with Kevin — even under COVID conditions! Kevin was ready for me at the door when I arrived, led me through hand sanitizing and temperature check, and took me to my chair.His skill is unmatched in my recent attempts for a nice cut and style.Ill certainly return to see him or any barber at Renaissance. Thank you!
Excellent place to go for haircuts... Men and women.
I will definitely continue to visit Renaissance! It is so easy to make an appointment online. My barber, Jason, was punctual and gave me a great cut. I hope the business continues to flourish because we certainly need it around here.
Best barbershop Ive been in I got a great cut great atmosphere
This guys have got it going on! I just opened a new Ashley Homestore in the shopping center so I went over to pass out flyers. Took a look around and was instantly impressed with how clean and simple the design of the barbershop was. Asked the guys about how much the cuts were and the prices are so cheap for the quality of cut you get here. Got me in with an appt that day and was very impressed with the results. Look forward to seeing them on a weekly basis to keep the cut looking nice and clean.
Went to TIM for a haircut and he did not disappoint!!! The quality of service was top tier and theyre taking all the right precautions during times of covid (masks, temp check, sanitizing). Check them out.
Friendly and professional staff.
Been going here for over 18 months for a reason. Consistently a good experience and haircut. I pay a premium to get cut by the owner but you get what you pay for. I recommend this place to everyone, good vibes, good music, TVs everywhere and good company.
I love getting my hair cut here. They are very professional and detail oriented. The atmosphere is amazing and fun. I always feel welcome and at ease. Not to mention the conversations are always interesting.
Love my cut! Adrian was very professional and did a solid job for my first haircut since COVID-19. Highly recommended if you need a cut in Durham.
Since moving to NC, Ive spent the last two years searching for the perfect shop and the right barber to replace my barber in NYC (who I went to for over 15 years). Hands down, this is the spot. You will find more than one master barber here, but mine is KISA. She blends old school skills like the classic shave with cutting edge techniques (no pun intended).
This is hands down, the best place for barbering in Raleigh-Durham. Tim McIntosh is a consummate professional and scholar of his craft. Simply put, he knows how to cut hair and does it well. The professional attitude is pervasive throughout the shop with the other barbers.The family friendly multicultural environment is an added plus to the success of the business. Renaissance Barber Shop is a place for everyone, regardless of hair texture.Give them a try. You will not be disappointed.
If youre looking for a clean cut, this is the place to go, hands down. Tim has been my go to twice now and will continue to be until I leave the area.
I would genuinely drive up to an hour to get my cut with these guys instead of another shop. World class establishment. Ive been 4 or 5 times and I know every barber on a first name basis. Everyone is very welcoming and yet even more skilled with their cutlery. Youll get a very chill but traditional barbershop atmosphere- usually fairly busy, mostly regulars who have friendly banter with the barbers about sports, society, or just life in general. They make me miss home in NYC. Make an appointment or just walk in - you will not be disappointed!
The Renaissance Barbershop was great! It was very clean and friendly. I am new to the barbershop culture and trying to find a barber that is nice,understanding, and can cut female hair has been difficult but Tim checked off all those boxes!! He gave me exact cut that I wanted and he was friendly!! And their affordable!! Check them out!!!
I was in town on business and usually skeptical of shops I havent been to before, but I was put at ease as soon as I walked in the door. The Renaissance teams professionalism and skills, not to mention the shops atmosphere... everything was on point!
This is a great place for a haircut. I brought my 5 year old son for a haircut as well as my 76 year old Dad for a haircut. Service was excellent and the environment was perfect for both my child and my Dad. I’ve been bringing my son here since he was 2.5 to get his hair cut. I can’t imagine going anywhere else in Durham for this kind of service!
Have been going here the past 6 months after trying many local outfits. This is the best by far. They take their craft very seriously.
Ive been here quite a few times now and always work with Jason. Best barber Ive been to in a long time! Not only is he extraordinary at what he does but the whole staff there makes you feel welcomed the whole time. I will surely keep getting my cuts from Renaissance Barbershop!
I’ve tried many barber shops over the 5 years now living in NC. Having come from NY, we take our barber shop cuts seriously, and want to find the best. Well, I have found that in Renaissance Barber Shop - and particularly in Tim. They greet everyone with a warm welcome, and great conversation. The atmosphere is clean and professional, and the cut is always top notch!! They truly have the customers experience top of mind and always want to provide the best for them, whether they are repeat customers or just in town visiting and need a good fresh cut. Cannot speak highly enough about these guys!...HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend !!!
I had a terrific experience. I was quickly greeted and seated. Jeff gave me an excellent haircut. I couldnt have asked or expected anymore than what I received. Top notch.
This is the best barber shop I’ve been to on the east coast. The shop was clean and modern but had an old school feel to it, everyone talking and having conversations with each other. Timothy was on time, gave me the best fade I’ve had in a long time and was personable and professional, like everyone else who worked there was. I will absolutely go back to his shop and recommend that anyone who appreciates a phenomenal haircut and great environment do the same!
I thought I found a new barber. The first two visits were good but the third visit that I thought I would experience with Jeff this morning...never happened. I had an appointment scheduled for 7am. That’s pretty early for me to be up, let alone get to the barbershop and I hear that Jeff is on vacation and I knew nothing about it. I’m very disappointed because I was looking forward to making this my new go to barbershop.
I was in town from out of state for Christmas and away from my barber. Will took his time, asked great questions, and gave me a professional cut and beard trim. Very excellent with razor line up. I know what barber to come to when I come back in town to see family. I give this barber shop 5 stars. Ask for Will.
Part therapy. Part discussion community. Best cut in town. 6 out of 5 stars
The Renaissance Barbers provide quality.Unprofessional barbershops make me feel bad for spending money on a good cut. I appreciate the opportunity to schedule an appointment in advance, be greeted when I arrive, and not have barbers be more attentive to their personal proclivities than their professional responsibilities.In my experience, The Renaissance Barbershop has discovered how to sculpt the best technological services, as well as displayed the best clientele rapport, and the best haircuts in the Triangle. After all, our money isnt just for the cut . . . but also for the convenience, comfort, conversation, class and culture of a shop.
This is a Dope establishment. Very professional and on point. I will going back again!
Very professional! Usually a greeting from the Hair techs upon entrance. Atmosphere very mellow and laid back. All that, and technicians that hand out cuts so crispy itll make kfc and the Colonel jealous
I booked with Kevin, he was very thorough and did a awesome job. All of the barbers in the shopWere friendly and professional. Will be returning toThis shop when I am In Durham. Thanks
Moving here from VA, I was in search of a GREAT barber. I went here one time before and didn’t care for the cut I received. Same thing for my 7yr old son.HOWEVER, when I took my son here again after a horrible haircut (from a different shop) Jason turned it into a masterpiece. I was beyond speechless and THAT’S when I knew I found MY barber. Jason is awesome and it’s beyond apparent that he takes pride in what he does.Very friendly staff as well! Good environment!
Great price and amazing service. I was very happy with my hair done by Timothy. He was attentive and very friendly! I recommend him for any women that wants a good women’s haircut.
Great service, great people, fair price.
Excellent service, very professional, and the barbers are so personable. I went before work one morning and I will definitely be going back. Jeff was amazing!
I went here for the first time this week and was a bit nervous but they made me feel right at home! Very friendly welcoming staff. Very clean and professional shop. Great price and service. Cory cut my hair and was very attentive and asked for feedback. He made sure I did not leave unhappy with my cut. Definitely coming back!... They prefer appointments but will take walk ins if they can.
Corey and Leeza are great. Always get a warm welcome and great haircut/experience. To anyone who complains about the price I say you pay for what you get
Tim was excellent in addressing my hair styling needs. He remembered the last time I had came in which was 8 months ago. Great atmosphere and vibe! Will definitely come back again. The option to make appointments and selecting barbers has never been easier!
Very nice, clean establishment. I come to Renaissance because of a barber who no longer works there. I just want my edges back (thank heavens (my) hair grows back). They were cut off without consent. Just wanted to get cleaned up and lined up. My forehead is formidable on its own, now it appears much larger. Never had a barber shave my edges away before. I am aware of masculine and feminine lines but I really like my hairline the way it is. Ughs. Letting it grow all the way out now. Always wiser to cut less hair than more, you can always go back and cut more off if requested.
Every time I come here they treat me like family and offer the best service around
I visited this shop two days ago. My first experience wasnt so great cut wise but the guy who did my cut was nice. Tim however went above and beyond to recover my haircut and gave a great experience the second time around. The staff is friendly and I loved how they greet you when you come into the shop. I will come back to visit again Thanks to Tim.
I thoroughly enjoy my haircut experience from Kevin Bowick, at The Renaissance Barber Shop. I appreciate the fact that he takes his time and executes the perfect cut. Kevin is very professional, but is still laid back, he is an excellent barber one who aims to satisfy the need(s) of the customer.
The Renaissance Barbershop is top notch. You feel welcomed in and valued as a client. Kisa is an amazing barber, takes pride in her work and pays attention to the details! Great experience overall.
I would have to say this is best Barber Shop that I have personally been too. Amazing staff that is fast and efficient. Awesome job cutting hair. This is the shop to go to.
I have been going to Renaissance Barbershop for about 4yrs and me and my son have enjoyed being groomed by Curtis Lee. Curtis is an excellent Barber, he always gives us his best. When my son sits in Curtiss chair hes not just another kid, curtis inquiries about whats going with Joshua. They actually have conversation and Ive really enjoyed the relationship that weve built with Curtis. The other Barbers in the shop are also welcoming and great people. The thing that I moat like about the shop is the ability to take my son into this shop and feel comfortable that the language is respectable. Thank you Renaissance for making our grooming experience great.
Best hair cut till date in the US! Very friendly folks, greet n treat well. Not your ordinary Super or great - shops. I recommend for anyone who wants to experience a local great haircut!
I am new to North Carolina and I was looking for a Barbershop for my 8 year old to get his hair cut. After researching, I decided on Renaissance. The reviews were great, but also the fact that they were open on Sunday was a plus. We walked in without an appointment, but we only waited about 10 minutes before he was in the chair. Tremaine did a great job, BUT my Sons line up was uneven. It was cut back too far on one side. It was crooked. I didnt notice this until we left and I didnt had time to go back. This is why I only gave 4 stars. For this to be his 1st experience that was a little disappointing. However, everyone in the shop was very nice. They were cutting hair of all ethnicities and types and this was a great thing as well. I will be returning tomorrow for another cut for him, but I will let them know that I expect them to correct his line. Overall Renaissance is a great place for a cut!
First time at the Renaissance Barbershop. Great experience, friendly atmosphere, clean. Kevin Bowick cut my sons hair and he is awesome. I recommend him to everybody. Skies the limit for this young man.
The vibe is very cool and laid back. Barbers here are very knowledgeable and pay very close attention to detail. Would 10/10 recommend.
Absolutely love going to Renaissance. Going to the barbershop is more than just getting your hair or beard done. This is a place that gives back to the community and the youth. They treat you like family and listen to you. Tim and the boys are always friendly and happy to help. I am always looking forward to my next visit.
I love the service and professionalism presented at this location! It is best to make reservations online because it is a popular spot but they always welcome walk in customers. A diverse array of barbers who cut all types of hair from a diverse array of clients. Tim and his staff are great - highly recommend!
Best fade in town! Called ahead to another place first and they forgot my appointment. James got me in right away, even took me back 20 minutes before my appointment. They don’t rush here, and they listen closely to what you want. Give them a shot!
Always friendly and accommodating. All barbers are skilled in different hair textures.
Great experience! Tim was professional and knowledgeable based on the haircut I wanted. He did not disappoint. The shop was clean and I was greeted with open arms. Cant say enough about Tim and his shop.
It was a very good atmosphere for my client he loved it we are scheduled to go back on the 20th so see you then
Great environment, positive energy, clean, respectful, they take their time perfecting your hair! If there is any females needing a barbershop, this is definitely the place. Thank you again, Kevin!
I’ve been going to the same barbershop for years before moving to the triangle. I tried Renaissance Barbershop and was hooked. They have a great group of barbers with old and new school expertise and also have modern features like online booking and credit card payments.
Yesterday (03/21/19) was my first time at renaissance barbershop and it will be my last. $21 plus tip was too much to be cut up. I left knowing I had redness and swelling. Today the swelling was gone but it is evident I was cut. You win some and lose some. Yesterday I lost. Now I am left with this embarrassing cut on my face. On a positive note, everyone did seem friendly and the place was clean.
Recently relocated to North Carolina (RTP) and didnt know where to go for a quality haircut. I did some research and found the Renaissance Barbershop. It was close to me and had a lot of great ratings. I decided to give them try and scheduled a haircut. Gentry did his thing and my hair looks great!! Everyone there is super friendly and easy to talk to. Theyre affordable, cater to everyone, and the atmosphere is relaxing. Thanks Gentry!!
My son gets his hair cut regularly at Renaissance. Curtis is great with my son and all of the kids I see come in the shop. He and his colleagues are very professional and most importantly give my son a great cut every time. The location cant be beat, right across from Southpoint. It is very clean, bright and modern and a great place to catch up on sports and current events while you wait. I highly recommend Curtis and The Renaissance Barbershop!!
First time visiting and my Barber was Kisa. My haircut was nicely cut. I must say the environment was great and welcoming. Im Definitely coming back!!
Every one is so friendly and welcoming. My barber kisa is the absolute best. So professional and knowledgeable.
From the authentic hello to the gracious goodbye, this barbershop is absolutely incredible. Tim is my usual barber and always does the best and most consistent haircut Ive ever had. All employees are nice and helpful. You cant go wrong choosing Renaissance for your next cut.
The guys who work here are very friendly and make small talk without being annoying which is really nice, but I ended up with probably the sloppiest cut Ive gotten.A week ago I made an appointment and came in that same day. I asked to get my hair cut short on the back and sides, and take some off the top and just leave enough for me to comb over. I faced away during the haircut, so I didnt really pay close attention while it was getting cut, but after I got home and looked closely I noticed a few things that made me unhappy. The left side of my head looks like it was cut to a half size or maybe even a full size longer than the right side of my head. You can clearly tell this when looking straight on at my head that one side is significantly longer. I feel like if the barber just looked at me to check over his work, he would have noticed this. On top of this, he cleaned up my hairline to look more straight, but where my hairline transitions into my sideburns you can tell that the two sides of my face didnt match, so if anyone looks closely it looks like one side of my hairline was touched up, and the other looks untouched. I also asked to get a hard part put in on the left side of my head where I usually have it done. But instead of following the part that was already there but was partly filled in by new hair, he put in a part higher up a little bit, making that area look really weird if you look closely at all since theres a small patch of hair hanging out in between my old part and the new part, thats disconnected from the rest of my hair.The atmosphere here is really nice, but I would strongly suggest that anyone reading this pays close attention to their haircut before leaving.
Love going to Renaissance Barbershop. Professional staff with a healthy, kid friendly environment. Tim does a great job with my 6 year old. Gets him in and out timely and we are always pleased with the results.
The entire staff makes you feel at home. I have seen kids as young as 1 year old and senior citizens as old as 100 in there. I have seen men and women regularly. What I have never seen is a bad haircut or unsatisfied customer. I will always trust Renaissance, they take their time and make sure its done right, every single time!
Talented barbers and welcoming atmosphere. You will pay for it though—the price is 40% more expensive than the barber shops I’ve been to. Overall nice place.
Got my cut from Jason, and man does that man care about his craft. Takes his time, goes back over his work and makes sure that you walk out looking as clean as possible. Super great guy.
Professional and relaxed atmosphere. Discounts and promotions towards youth, college students, vets and seniors. Barbers use great quality clippers which is important to me because I have sensitive skin. All the barbers seem to be versatile in meeting the demands of the customers needs.
I’ve been a Customer for more then 10y doesn’t get any better the The Renaissance Barbershop. The staff is warm, friendly and make you feel at home. Best cuts in the city.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND! I am from up north and have been to alot of barbers here. It took me a year but finally found the perfect spot. Will was excellent listened to how i wanted a NEW hair style and did amazing! He stopped every inch of the way ro make sure it was what i wanted Can not wait to go back feels great when you find the perfect place to get your hair cut
At Renaissance Barbershop, I have the ease and convenience of scheduling my appointments online using the mind and body app. The barbers there are excellent. I’ve been associated with them for 15 years. The atmosphere with the flat screen TV’s everywhere and the conversation makes the experience even better.
Fantastic, friendly environment! Kisa always gives 5 star service! My beard thanks me every time!
The professionalism from all staff members is admirable. The convenience to set up an appointment is a nice touch. Can’t find other shops in the area that open 7 days a week like these guys, Superb!
Great customer service always. Tim is a very professional and experienced barber. He will always be my barber. The atmosphere is great and the energy always positive and respectful. I highly recommend him to all customers and nationalities.
This is by far the worst attempt of a haircut I’ve ever received. After asking Corey who the best person in the shop was for fades, I was told that they were all good and that this was the best place in town for fades. I told my barber that I needed a very clean fade for my upcoming graduation, after which he proceeded to give me an atrocious haircut. Despite telling him not to shorten the top of my hair at the start, he went ahead to cut 3/4 of it off without asking a single question. Should have spent more time focusing on the haircut instead of talking, especially considering that not a single question about my hair was asked and I ended up with 1) a completely uneven fade on both sides, 2) one side burn being a whole inch higher on one side than the other, 3) the sorry attempt at fading the back of my hair, which is lopsided and looks completely unfinished. Not to mention the fact that my friend left with a 2 inch cut on his face by the same barber. Save your $30 and if you really need to do something about your hair, I’d recommend buying a hat instead of a haircut from this place.
I have been going to Renaissance for over a year. This place is fantastic. My barber, Trae, take his time to understand my styles and give suggestions. The results are always better than expected.Not only his barber skills are great, his service and attention to detail are top notch. I highly recommend Trae. Make appointment with him before coming, hes usually have clients waiting.
