I’ve seen James twice and each time has been great. The two best haircuts I’ve ever received. He has great rates and is very professional yet personal! He is very skilled at what he does... you can’t find a better fade around!!

James is awesome! I went to see James with my girlfriend, and upon walking in, both of us loved the venue. We had a wonderful experience through our conversation, and his expertise. The best fade cut Ive ever had, hands down. Already booked the next cut.

The stylist gave me the best haircut of my life and my beard looks amazing. This place has great music, a timeless aesthetic, and friendly staff. Found my new spot!

This is a great place. All of the barbers are friendly and very good at their profession. This is an example of an old time barber shop with very reasonable prices.

James turned my Chewbacca looking hair into the perfect fade. I have finally found the place where I can sit back, relax and enjoy my time.

I’ve been going to James for a while here. Every time I return he out does himself from the time before. I have not been disappointed and definitely would recommend to others.

Horrible. Reservation was @2:45 didn’t get response until 3.05. If you don’t respect time better do walk-ins. Don’t waste someone else’s time. 0/5

5 stars to James all the way. Sit back, tell him how would you like your hair to be cut and leave the rest to him. Tremendous talent and passion.

Not 100% happy with my haircut, but it was most likely the best haircut I ever had. Place your appointment ASAP or you wont be able to get an appointment for like a month, month and a half.

I dont leave enough reviews, but this was legitimately the best haircut Ive ever had. My wife sent me to him since a friend of mine used his services strictly. James is a great guy with an inspiring background. His business is clean, comfortable, and inviting. His skills are perfect for any guy looking to up his hair game. Trust me, one haircut with this guy and youll be going back.

James can fade! Im glad I took a chance on his business. Hes personable with his clients. He wants whats best for your fade. His consultation is professional and pleasant. Hell work with you to get your hair the way you want it to be. Hes extremely flexible in times of situations that come up when an appointment needs to be rescheduled. Tough to find another place like #Faded.

Every man needs a skilled barber in his life. James is the right, reliable, and best man for the job!He has experience, skills, ongoing training, confidence, and love for his craft. Consistent and sharp haircuts.I receive a lot of fresh haircut compliments from strangers, friends, and family. More than with any previous barber or salon stylist in decades. I recommend James.

James is awesome at what he does. I highly recommend going to one person for haircuts and James is the guy to go to for any and all cuts. Schedule is very flexible and he puts a ton of effort and care into his craft. This isn’t your typical 20 minute in and out cut. This man is a damn professional.

Review №22

I have been going to James for over 2 years now. He is honestly the best barber that I have ever been to. The quality of the haircuts are always great, and the new space is amazing. Parking is super easy and the location is right off the highway which makes it very easy to get to. James is very personable and it’s always a great time going to get cut. The free clean ups in between cuts always keep my fade looking nice.

James is a great hair artist! I went to my first salon a year ago and met James and his creativity and skills astonishes me. Well-rounded barber who knows how to fade among numerous other styles. Hell listen to your wants and needs for a dream hairstyle and make it happen for you!

Review №24

James will forever spoil you; you will never be able to settle for anything less than what he offers. Styling and hair are beyond enjoyable to James. Instead, he focuses on this craft with the love, passion, and desire for improvement of any true artist. Without a doubt, James has found a way to get paid for something he would enjoy doing anyway.Come experience how hair is meant to be cut; I have never been any less than thoroughly impressed by his results and am confident you will feel the same.

Review №25

James is an incredibly talented individual and very personable. Not only as a barber, but in his ideas and vision of his work of art and the details that go into each and every cut and beard trim. Days gone are the mall barbershops and barbers that care about how many cuts they can get in one day, as opposed to how many quality cuts can be done in one day. The difference between James and the others lie in the details, which translates to superior quality. Very happy about each and every cut Ive gotten. Highly recommended!

Review №26

James is a blessing to talk to and does an outstanding job on your hair. The detail and perfectionism James has for hair is incredible, even though I didnt get a fade he still killed it.

Br
Review №27

James is the perfect combination of energy and skill. It is evident that he LOVES what he does, and the results speak for themselves. If you like your current barber be careful.... one cut with James and youll likely be breaking up with your current guy.

Review №28

James is the best barber I’ve had. He loves his craft and does it perfectly. He is also a lot of fun to chat with while he doing his magic. It’s the perfect fade every time. Parking is super easy and the free cleanups are always great in between cuts.

Review №29

We LOVE James! He is a true professional and a genuine artist. He consistently gives my teenage son a superior haircut. James is thoughtful, patient and always takes the time to figure out exactly what my son wants. He is meticulous and detail oriented. I have referred at least 4 others and all have become repeat clients. James takes pride in his work and it shows. To add to the experience, James is a genuine, kind person. He shares life lessons and incredible insight just through small talk. We look forward to each visit.

James is definitely a cut above the rest. Unmatched attention to detail and flawless execution. A great conversation and interaction combined with the atmosphere of the new space makes this the experience to beat. If its time to step-up your game see James. Your personal and professional life will thank you!

James does an incredible job. I moved to the Twin Cities area in the summer of 2016. I found James at his old shop and never looked back. Guy is an artist, entrepreneur, and fun to be around during my cuts. Highly recommend.

Review №32

These reviews brought me to James, and after the cut I received, its only fair that I add mine to the 5 star pile. James is a skilled professional who will take the time and care to get you the cut you want. Today was the first time Ive walked out feeling like I got what I wanted, and I didnt just settle with the cut I got like when I wasted my time with the bigger chains. I dont think Ill ever be anxious before getting a haircut again :)

Review №33

I’ve been to several barber shops both here in the Twin Cities and in Chicago when I used to live there, and frankly James is one of the best. Lots of experience, super attentive to detail, and a really great guy who loves what he does. I strongly recommend paying him a visit. #faded

Review №34

I wouldnt normally leave a review, but James is a great person and deserves the shout-out.Hes easier than most to have a conversation with while hes styling your hair and before he even started cutting we had a good talk about what I was looking for and issues I have with my hair. I feel like he really took everything I said into consideration before starting.During and after the cut he took the time to explain things about hair that I had no experience with and gave me excellent, detailed advice on what I should do to my hair in order to make it behave the way I want it to.I truly appreciate everything about the way James interacts with his clientele.

I mean, wow. James really took the time to give me a killer haircut. And taught me so much about my hair that I didn’t even know. I absolutely recommend him to anyone.

Review №36

#faded is great and James is awesome. Ive been seeing him for a while and he actually listens to how I want my hair done. I like to change it up a little every few months and I usually go in with a photo or a plan and he makes it happen. I literally recommend him to everyone.

Review №37

James is the real deal. Ive seen James for about two years, and every friend Ive referred has become a repeat customer. Each cut has been high quality, and the free trims keep your fade looking sharp! He is also very personable, and gets to know his clients. Highly recommend!

James is the best Barber I’ve ever been to. I’m from Germany and my English wasn’t really that good when I met him and he was able to cut my hair just from looking at one picture.Beat guy, keep it up !

Review №41

After moving from California to Minnesota, my biggest concern was finding someone to replace my old barber. After a few failed attempts, I met James and I’ve never looked back. His attention to detail is enough to make him stand out from the rest, but he goes above and beyond to ensure I receive the best experience every time. Not to mention the added perks that come along with one of James’s legendary hair cuts. James is truly the best!

I first started getting my haircut with James after booking with him randomly at his old shop. Since then Ive never looked back; he pays attention to the smallest details and Ive never had a better cut than Ive had with James. I recommend him to anyone.

Review №46

Ive had the pleasure of receiving James expert fades/cuts for well over a year now and I whole-heartedly approve! His technical skill set, attention to detail, customer service, and private workspace are all top notch! Not only is he aiming to make his customers look their best, but he has aspirations to make waves in the hairstyling community as well! He pampers his customers with a relaxing mid-cut steamed towel applied to the face -- excellent touch! He also lets me watch cartoons on his big screen while he works... James has all the right ideas! Hes also honest with me regarding my hair and I always head home feeling great about how I look!

James @ #faded is simply the best. The man doesnt cut hair, he cuts a new piece of art every 3 weeks! The cuts are great, the free clean ups help the wallet, and the entertainment (James himself) is second to none.
