My boyfriend had a haircut with Cari and it unfortunately did not meet our expectations. He did originally schedule with Andi as we liked her work, but it was changed to Cari at the last minute and he didn’t have time to cancel.I will say he did go in with relatively long hair, but wanted to cut it short like the picture. He came home after paying $65 + tip with this haircut. I understand an additional fee for longer hair, but to almost double the price for a subpar haircut seems unreasonable. As you can see in the first picture, he wanted a fade into longer on the top, but instead he got a practically hard uneven line.In addition, he went in a little nervous as he hasn’t cut his hair in 2 years and neither the atmosphere or Cari put him at ease.I really don’t like complaining about service work as I highly respect and give the benefit of the doubt to people in the service industry, and I wouldn’t have minded if it was $65 if the haircut had been what he’d asked for, but it just wasn’t. I ended up trying to clean it up and actually create a fade with his clippers and thankfully we could fix it to some degree, but we are really disappointed with the original outcome.
Cari S. Did a wonderful job cutting my hair. It has been months since I’ve been happy with my haircut from going to the less inexpensive places. I think it was definitely worth the price for sure! I told her what I wanted and she did a bomb.com job at listening and doing exactly what I wanted! I’ll definitely be back in her chair!
Prior to Jairleen launching her own establishment, myself and my two boys had followed her, as she made employment changes throughout Grand Rapids, over a 13 year span. After moving to Grand Haven, we now make the drive due to her excellent execution and consistency. A bad haircut or lesser experience isn’t worth finding somewhere closer or cheaper. Shop is clean, has a cool atmosphere, and close to other fun stops in GR. This place will continue to thrive.
My visit to the 1890 Mens Grooming Parlor was amazing! While the place oozes with old world charm, their state of the art services are absolutely wonderful. A shout out to Stephanie (facial) and to Jeff (deep-tissue massage) for making me feel like a million!
Hands down - one of the best haircuts and beard trims Ive ever had. Great job!Nose hair wax was crazy weird - but totally worth it.
Truly a full service barber. I was able to get on a regular schedule with Jarleen and I could not be happier. Dont forget to bring in your shows for a Thursday shine.
I had a appointment with Ashley S. Asked for a high skin fade with a comb over and a simple hard part. There’s no way around this, the haircut was just not good. The service was nice and the parlor was clean. The staff were friendly but unfortunately the haircut just wasn’t up to par. The fade had a extremely hard line and it seemed to arch along side my head. Would definitely not recommend this for 35 dollars. If this was a simple 10-15 dollar walk in hair cut I would be a little more lenient but being 35 dollars and having to schedule your appointments I would expect more from a establishment.
Absolutely awesome atmosphere. Everyone was cheerful and welcoming and the beard trim was on point! Blake Ann did an incredible job cleaning up the hack job I did on my beard! And Jeff was phenomenal with the shoulder, neck deep tissue massage! I have a hard time finding someone to get the knots out of my trunk of a neck and Jeff’s hands worked wonders, and was cheerful the whole time. I’ll definitely be returning!
Hands down best cut I have found in town & this local barbershop does it all. Jairleen does a fantastic job- no matter the time of day or level of traffic, she will take the necessary time to ensure you are taken care of, never rushing and never cutting corners to speed things up. The staff gets to know their customers & always is keen on the details. The place is always sparkling clean, the staff manages their appointments on time, and the energy and conversation is always a bonus too. I’m glad I’ve found a go-to barbershop in GR and look forward to many more haircuts from here. Thanks for all you guys do!
Wouldn’t recommend for the cost. $35+ with tip for a haircut. Scheduled appointment for 11am. Didn’t start cutting hair until after 11:10. Poor quality line up on my side profile. Actually pushed my hairline up a good 3/4inch on my left side and 1/2 inch on the right side so it looks uneven. Rest of the haircut looks fine.
Went in to get a much needed haircut for my birthday.Stephanie did an amazing job and I will definitely be going back to her for my next hair cut. She was attentive and delivered what I was looking for.Anyone looking for a great haircut/style should visit 1890 parlor and book Stephanie if you have the chance.
Had a haircut last week here with jarileen. It was a great experience! I have struggled to find a place that cuts my hair like I want it, and she did an excellent job despite my struggle to explain exactly what I wanted. As long as I am in Grand Rapids I will be coming back!
Cool, clean place. Very professional and friendly.NOT the place to have your beard trimmed sadly.The haircuts I saw while waiting looked very good.
I had a deep tissue massage by Jeff, who works there now one day a week. Let me tell you, if you have any hesitation, for what ever reason for getting a massage, let it go! Hes been doing this for years and his knowledge and experience will make you feel like a whole different person. Treat yourself and your body will thank you for it. Its clean and professional and this world is too short and too stressful not to get a massage. Im serious when I say, Jeff will help you to feel great and its so good for you!! I guarantee, youll book another one after experiencing the change in how you feel! I loved it and I cant wait to go back again.
Great quality service and professional staff. This place is a diamond in West Grand Rapids. You can get your hair professionally cared for with reasonable prices, and they will also shine and recover your leather shoes / boots. I had two pairs cleaned and shined and am very happy with the results. Invest in yourself, protect your assets, go to 1890.
Great people love the atmosphere. Great haircut. Beard trim looks and feels great. Always feel good when I leave!!
Just had a deep tissue massage for the first time and let me tell you, Jeff is amazing. His skill is top notch and I would not hesitate recommending him to anyone. Clean, kind, professional and makes you feel completely at ease. I felt so much better both physically and mentally after it and I think anyone considering a massage, would be crazy not to try him out. I cant wait for my next one!
Andi B. did understand what I wanted. She owns it. 👍🏼 Done a fabulous work!
I’ve had multiple good experiences here, but last week Jairleen gave me what was probably one of the top 5 haircuts of my adult life, and I come from a family of hair stylists. This place is modern yet comfortable, clean, and with wonderful and relaxing men’s barbering services. Thank you for being a great part of the West Side business community!
I am new to the Grand Rapids area and am so glad to have found 1890, more importantly that I got Andi as my stylist. Let’s start with the professionalism of the staff and the impeccable appearance of the shop with its great looking barcelona chairs in the wait room, and the chance to have your shoes shined if needed. The barbershop is warm and inviting. Let’s move on to the quality of the staff. I’m sure all of the stylists are amazing but I was lucky to have been paired up with Andi. I kinda just throw a dart in the dark for an online appt based on my time slot. I couldn’t be happier, her professionalism and quality of my haircut was amazing. She takes her time and you never feel rushed. Her personality and attitude is so upbeat and laid back that you leave there a better person than when you arrived. My wife said its her new favorite cut for me, and that it looks like detail was taken into care. Getting a haircut is always something I look forward to every few weeks, I cannot say enough about the quality of the location and service provided. Not only will I continue to be a loyal customer but I am a fan and tell everyone I know about your services.
Amazing staff and for the price they do an amazing job! They snuck me in on a busy Saturday as I didn’t have an appointment and Ashley did a fantastic job on my hair and beard. Ashley will be my go to person for my hair from now on.
Great atmosphere and a fantastic staff. Andi really took her time and did an exceptional job cutting my hair. Ill definitely be back.
I absolutely LOVE 1890. The service is always top notch, the staff super professional, the atmosphere fantastic, and the haircut? Come on! Always a 10. Thanks to Jairleen and the staff for being SUPER AMAZING. I would recommend this place to any guy.
Always a great experience. Super easy to schedule an appointment, great haircuts and awesome service. Would recommend to anyone in GR!
For a fresh cut and a great conversation check out 1890! The service and atmosphere of 1890 is unmatched and I would recommend to anyone.Check out their website to see their other services too!
Oh man! Been going here since they opened and have had nothing but the best service. Everyone that works there is personable and great at conversation that makes the cut fun and quick. Nice job ladies, keep it up!
My husband tried this place, and its awesome! His haircut is great, and he liked the little extras that were complimentary, like the hot scented (lavender and sandlewood, I think) towel on his face, and the way owner/stylist Jairleen went to the extra effort of giving him a second haircut after the shampoo. He also appreciated the back of the neck massage and shave. Tasteful, simple decor, a combination of modern and turn of the century, make this shop a very welcoming, relaxing place to get a haircut at a reasonable price. My husband will definitely be a return customer.
Gents, never let a good suit be ruined by a bad pair of shoes. I cant recommend the shoe shine services enough. Evan from Harleys Shoeshine is top notch. Hell have your dress shoes shining like mirrors.The salon stylists are outstanding and knowledgable. Theyll have you feeling like a new man when you leave here.
Great experience! Fantastic cut!
As close to a spa-like experience youre likely to find. Attentive, highly skilled staff, beautiful space wonderful service! I cant recommend it highly enough!
Hands down best haircut I’ve ever had, nothing even close..Stephanie was amazing, very detailed..won’t go anywhere else..
I have been to 1890 a few times and will continue to. This place is professional, relaxing and different options of services to pick from. This place is one stop shop for all men. Give it a try. I had my nose wax for the first time here and wow does it make a big difference.
A mans grooming paradise. My new favorite spot in town. Love the staff, atmosphere, and services. Highly recommend
Men, lets face it:we are hairy beasts. So let the staff at 1890 take care of you. The haircut, shampoo, hot towel and beard trim were great. I came back the next day for a shoe shine and again received an excellent service. Do yourself a favor and check them out.
Friendly atmosphere, excellent service! Got a clean cut and it made my day!
Amazing experience. Just moved here and found my forever hair place!
High quality salon! Andi is great and has a fine attention to detail. Would recommend 🙌
Ashley and Andi were awesome stylists ! Love this place, Guys ! We will be visiting again!💚💚 Professional, clean, safe Hi end Men’s Salon
Well this place has amazing service. Anne did a fantastice job on my hair. Her service is wonderfull. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
If you can, request Stephanie she did a phenomenal job.
I had an appointment with Jennifer today and I’m going back here again! This is why! It was such a wonderful experience. I usually get a cheap hair cut at great clips but I decided to splurge after Covid happened. I’m very glad that I did. Jennifer is a wonderful person and knows how to cut hair! The conversation was wonderful and the atmosphere here is amazing. I told her to cut my hair how ever she wanted to! She out performed my expectations. I look amazing and I can’t wait to go on my date tonight. I will recommend going here and saving your money up for a good hair cut! Thank you, Jennifer so much!! I will see you in 3 weeks for a trim.
This place is very unique. The vibe is chill and welcoming. The staff is professional and the women there understand men. Totally the best! Ill be back. Ill be a regular. No place like it!
I highly recommend getting a haircut from here. One of the best haircuts I have ever gotten. Heather did an amazing job. 10/10.
It was awesome I felt right at home haircut was awesome
Ive been getting my hair cut by Jairleen at 1890 for almost 3 year now and I will never go to anyone else. In the past, Ive always been very particular about who cuts my hair and the consistency of the hair cut. I used to go to some of the bigger, franchised-based hair cutting businesses around town, and the quality of the haircut would vary from one week to the next. With Jairleen and 1890, I never have to worry about that. They treat every customer and cut as if its their own family and the level of talent is unmatched. I typically get my beard trimmed and shaped as well, and Jairleen is an absolute pro at that. Ive received numerous compliments about the shaping of my facial hair and its all because of her. I dont leave many reviews on Google, but I would be doing a disservice if I didnt for 1890. I cannot recommend them enough to anyone that is looking for a haircut you cant count on.
Amazing service. Super friendly staff. Make sure you get an appointment ahead of time.
Charming place. Great services. Super friendly and attractive staff. Always get compliments on my cuts after!
Always have a great experience. Love the hair cuts I get every time!
Always seem to be running on time and offer many other great services.
Great stylists and friendly service. My new go to parlour!
Great place to get a haircut. There aren’t many places for guys to go that are comfortable and not a “quick cut pit stop”. Quality service. See you in 6 weeks
Blake consistently provides an excellent hair cut, relaxing head and neck massage, and pleasant conversation all in a laid back atmosphere at a reasonable price. Blake has been my stylist for some time and is able to work wonders for both haircuts and beard trims, turning me from homely to handsome like magic. Highly recommend this place! (Edit: changing to 5-star after many satisfied trips).
ALWAYS very happy with my haircut! Moved to GR from Seattle and after trying out a few places found 1890 where I love the salons style and welcoming staff. They listening to what Im wanting and make it happen which is why I will continue to come back here.
Did some Googling and found this place, ended up booking an appointment with Jairleen - glad I did. Place has a great atmosphere with some pretty good tunes playing in the background, not to mention it was CLEAN. The haircut and beard trim turned out great; really took her time on both to ensure they turned out great. I was surprised with their beard butter/oil - it smells awesome!Stop thinking about it and just book an appointment already.
First time customer today and WOW!! Immediately my stylist recognized what was wrong with the hack job I got previously at a different barber shop. I explained how I liked my hair and she did an outstanding job. Very relaxing atmosphere with great customer service.
I walked in and Andi trimmed my beard. She did a great job. I am so very pleased and I will return. This is a nice salon conveniently located across from the Bridge Market. I had a great experience.
A classy, relaxed environment with a very friendly staff. Andi did a great job and took her time to make sure she provided a great cut. I would highly recommend checking this place out.
Love the atmosphere and how clean and mask oriented they are!
Skilled and personable barbers. Never had a better haircut in my life, somehow they managed to make my neckbeard look good enough to get the wifes OK to not shave off before a job interview. 5 stars, would come again before getting rejected.
Great stylists, relaxing atmosphere.
Amazing staff with great talent and a lot of experience. The space is gorgeous. Grand Rapids really needed a wonderful mens grooming parlour like 1890! Check it out!
Jairleen gives one hell of a head massage and an even better haircut!
Very cool atmosphere and highly professional staff. Probably the best place to get a mens haircut in Grand Rapids.
I loved the hot towel and the straight razor treatment for no less cost
Most professional cut I’ve ever gotten, high quality service and obviously well trained professionals. I would’ve tipped a lot if I had the money
Cannot say enough about this place! They were willing to sit down and talk about the style of hair I wanted and how to best go about that/ what hair products to use to best maintain said style. Very reasonable price for a cut, shampoo, and good conversation!
Jennifer is the best! Great place and service.
Great service by a friendly staff.
I love this place! Great vibe and even better haircuts. I would recommend this to anyone that is looking for a great haircut
Heather was amazing. 10/10 would recommend.
Very classy and clean environment. Professional ownership and staff!
Great place for a man looking for an old fashion grooming experience. This is a true barbershop located in the heart of the westside. There is also shoe shining services.
Great staff. Great service. Didn’t rush and took their time. One of the finer beard trims I’ve gotten.
Literally the best haircut Ive had in West Michigan and all of Michigan. I will always get my hair cut here.
Great service every single time. Andi is phenomenal and has become my favorite barber/hair stylist in Grand Rapids.
I had an awesome experience here. The haircut was great and the shampoo/head massage thing was awesome! They have a dope atmosphere and just overall do an excellent job.
Even though Jen is new to this location, Ive been seeing her for the last 6 years. My boys and I have our haircuts done by her all the time. Jen is very friendly and outgoing and understands how we want our hair styled. I go in regularly for beard trims and dont have to say anything, she knows how I want it . You cant go wrong with Jen. Ill continue to see her as long as I can.
The vibe of this place is amazing!!I won’t let anyone touch my undercut other than Jen!
Very good job!!! Worth the price!!!!
Service was excellent and very accomodating.
I cant recommend a better spot. Jairleen is the GOAT, the facilitys vibe is on point, and its in a great part of town.
Friendly and got us in on 10 min notice.
Absolutely amazing! Hands down the best place to get a haircut! Never feel rushed and the atmosphere is top notch!
First time visit today and I was wonderfully impressed, this is a great new business in an aspiring part of Grand Rapids on Bridge Street, Jairleen (Owner & Head Stylist) was fantastic, easy to communicate with and converse with and she is up to date on all of the latest styles plus they are very reasonable with the pricing. I noticed the other Lady Groomers also doing a great job with their customers. This will be my new go to place and will also be sure my boys try them out. AAAAA++
Verry great professinal staff. I have had a total of 5 complements on my beard and hair and i jist got them done in the last 30 mins. Amzing amazing amazing. Im a life long customer from here on out .
Amazing service here, the best in town also a good source of information about what is happening in downtown GR.
Awesome service! Offers a real gentleman vibe without overpricing their services. Nose waxing is offered!
Jairleen is super nice and does great work. I highly recommend booking an appointment. Fantastic location, very cool ambiance, and affordable.
Very friendly staff. Great attention to detail!
Never felt so attended to and well groomed that I recommend them to all my guy friends!
Gorgeous place and top of line treatment!! Definitely the best of the best!!
Great service in a beautiful salon
Great haircut and experience.
