Johnny is the only barber/stylist in town and has been cutting and styling hair for over 50 years. He has literally invented original hairstyles.He is extremely knowledgeable. Every time I go there, I get the best cut I’ve ever had. I’ve tried a lot of other shops in Greenville. El Toro is by far the best. Can’t recommend enough.

Not only a great cut but actually Educational and told me what he was doing to ensure I got what I wanted next time. HIGHLY recommended! Definitely going here from now on.

First time going there it is was great thank you Johnny for a great haircut

Great vibe, amazing hair cut and a great person. I am new to the area and I was looking for my “ultimate haircut destination”. Luckily, I have found it!!!

Great men’s haircuts! Quick and very knowledgeable of multiple styles. Affordable, great place for college kids.

Easy going Barber that does great cuts!! Fun atmosphere for all everyone! Been coming here for almost a year now.

Nice local barber who knows his stuff.

Great service, always quick and reliable. Best men’s barber in town!

El Toro Men’s Hairstyling is a 5-star business offering personalized haircuts and grooming services for men. With top notch customer service, Johnny provides a grooming experience unique to you; his talent is plainly obvious. I’ve been coming here for 30 years, and still happy with him; it’s not easy to find the old-school barber within a friendly, welcoming atmosphere. Waiting is rarely an issue, but when it occurs, you’re able to shoot pool on the billiards table, or enjoy the complimentary wireless internet.

I’d recommend this place to everyone!

Undefeated, best place in Greenville to get your hair cut. Built a one of a kind system for cutting hair.

Been coming here for years to get my haircut! Drive over an hour to just get a haircut! Quality men haircuts and you can walk in to get a haircut!

El Toro is the coolest barber shop in Greenville NC. You would be doing yourself a disservice to go anywhere else but here. Take it from me, because I have given just about every single one a chance. He truly cares about his customers and accepts all walk-ins! Unlike these overpriced, fancy new-school shops, with barbers who will skim your head as fast as possible to make a quick buck, this shop stands above the rest. He has about 50+ years experience and knows modern styles, does fades, etc. He also has patience with his customers and will work with you to give you the exact hairstyle you want. He is by far the best barber in Greenville.

I have been going to Johnny for about 20 years. A nice guy, always does a good job. Cool pool table. A guys place to get a hair cut.

He has been cutting my husband’s hair for years an he is the best around. Great to talk to you an great atmosphere.

Excellent and eery experience and quality does a Excellent job and take pride in work

El Toro is an awesome babrber shop with the best pirate memorabilia Ive ever seen. The barber truly cares about his customers and accepts all walk-ins. He has about 50+ years experience and knows modern styles, does fades, and etc. He is my favorite barber in Greenville. Go check him out!

Basically the cut started. i had asked him for an inch off of my hair. about half way through i noticed this man had cut off ALL of my curls. i’ve been growing my curls out for years and only trimming them but this man decided (without asking) to shave them all off. not only that but he told me that my hair was “too extreme” and he didn’t cut hair for “he-she’s” essentially telling me that my hair was too feminine. he also left the back way to long in spite of the rest of the cut and charged me $30 DOLLARS. outrageous

If you are anyone looking for a great haircut El Toro is the place to go. I am currently a ECU student and have been going to El Toro for 3 years. I have a tough hair line and Johnny has been the only barber (after going to many many barbers) to actually make it look right. He has mastered the art of cutting mens hair and has a system that makes it quick and easy every time you come in. Dont know what I am going to do when I graduate! Some people gripe about the extra charge he gives when new customers come in with long hair, but is it fair to the regular customer that comes in every couple of weeks to pay the same? No

Best haircut I’ve ever gotten. Grew up going to a salon and they don’t come close to this guy. Very knowledgeable in men’s hair

I come to El Toro for every haircut. They do an amazing job at an amazing price. Great bang for your buck!

Ive been going to El Toro for well over a year now. Ive always had a great experience and a top notch cut! They will even finish off with a nice straight-razor trim if you prefer.Johnny has a unique system to ensure you get exactly the cut youre looking for. Ask him to bring you up to speed with it and he will be more than happy to do so.The shop is also very cool. Relaxed and comfortable atmosphere with a pool table to help pass the time when it get busy.Definitely worth checking it out!

Quality haircut, good place to go in greenville

I have been coming to El Toro every month since moving to the area last year and I cannot say enough good things about this place. My haircut is great every time. Very consistent. If youre unsure about exactly how you want your hair (as I was my first visit) he has great advice stemming from DECADES of experience cutting mens hair. Disregard this guy talking about him not being able do a fade. He fades mine every time. I was in the Marine Corps and I KNOW a good fade when I see one. On top of the quality cuts, you will not find a better atmosphere. Comfy chairs, TV, radio, pool table, sports memorabilia, and kids toys make it a great wait for anyone. I will keep going here as long as Im within driving distance. 10/10

Always does a great job and really helpful if you’re not quite sure what kind of haircut you want

Very talented & experienced barber. You get what you want every time. Very clean, friendly & comfortable environment. Highly recommend.

El Toro is a great shop and Johnny is a great owner. He has been in the same shop cutting mens hairs since the late 1960s and he definitely knows his stuff. He is friendly and will give you exactly what you ask him for. The prices are excellent, especially for the level of service you receive. He does prefer cash, but you can use a debit/credit card with a small fee. The atmosphere and decor are classy and comfortable. The pool table is a great way to pass any waiting time, although there isnt much because Johnny performs the cuts quickly and skillfully.I will happily visit El Toro every time I need my hair cut from now on.

Very professional. Consistent good quality.

Best place in town to get your hair cut. Won’t take you more than 15 minutes. Plus the barber is the man

Incredible detail and workmanship. Treated me like i’ve been a customer for years! Will come back for sure!

The man that runs this shop is an artist. Been going to him to get my haircut in Greenville, NC for the past three months. No one has cut my hair cleaner or in less time. My average cut is ten minutes or less and the quality exceeds objective professional standards.A must-go if youre looking to change up your style or simply need a tight professional haircut. Highly recommend it.

The best and cheapest in town. I am always satisfied with my cut when he finishes. A real deal for 14.oo dallars..

He has been my barber the entire time Ive been at East Carolina University. Its never a long wait and he always knows what to do to my hair, even when I dont. Best barber Ive been to!

Johnny gave me a great haircut and was very nice! Great experience and I’ll be back

Old school barber shop. Quiet calm. Excellent

Best hair cut ive ever had and good custom service

Great place. I am new to the area and he is the best! I am a type A, so I take great pride in everything I do! Trust me this man is an artist.

Ive been going to El Toro for about three years now and have never had a negative experience. The barber is a real nice guy with an interesting unique system for cutting hair. Hes got a lot of different methods for cutting various kinds of hair with a system he can explain well to his customers. 10/10 recommend to anybody in greenville looking for a good haircut.

Great man. Always gives a good cut and always available.

Been coming here the past 4 years and have never been disappointed.

High-end mens hairstylist with decades of experience. By far my favorite hair stylist.

Johnny gives the best haircut in Greenville. I get the same haircut every time and I’m always happy with it.

Johnny can be a bit difficult to communicate with at first, but once you understand his system, youll be a convert. On your first visit, you should point to a picture on his wall of haircut examples; hell then tell you the number that corresponds to that cut in his system. Thereafter, you just need to say gimme a number 3 (or whatever) and hell do a great job.

Neat barber shop. Things to do while you wait. Fast and friendly service

Great barber, been going to this shop for 35 years. Highly recommend going here!!!

Phenomenal service along with the best hair stylist you will find. Highly recommend. Great prices and works fast.

I don’t understand how people say it’s “top of the line.” New to the area, Figured why not give this place a try! after numerous cuss words, negative politics of how everyone not affiliated with his party that he didn’t like was “thugs” and criticizing how all other barbers of the area sold drugs to make it just to make his business look better i was about at my limit. The icing on the cake was a simple medium fade, ended up having half of the lower part of my head 2 different lengths and the top wasn’t even at all! Ended up having to almost shave my entire head to get all to the same length! It was one price originally then ended up being another at the end because i questioned why it looked the way it did, so he went back over it and made it worse! then informed me of a $2 service fee for using a card!!!!The ABSOLUTE worst haircut I’ve ever had. And will also give this barber free advertisement of DO NOT GO THERE!!!!

Did an amazing job. Looked out for the finer details of my hair.

Im questioning these negative reviews for Johnny here. You know it takes a special type of person to go somewhere, spend only 20 bucks and then take probably 20 bucks worth of time to write a negative review online.I mean you have to really on the fringe of society to do that. A real baby most likely. Just saying.Ive been going to Johnny for years and have received the absolute best cut every time. He knows more about hair than anyone Ive ever met and can get your hair to do whatever you want it to after just a few cuts, regardless of how some franchise amateur might have screwed it up. Hes not going to hold your hand or baby you. He is old school. It isnt about you. Its about him and his craft and you either have respect or you dont.For those of us that appreciate a real haircut no one else comes close. If you arent able to communicate to him what you want then that is your fault my friend. Because the man can cut hair better than anyone in the area.

When my barber retired I started going to the hair cut chains but often experienced disappointing and inconsistent results. After my first visit to El Toro, I knew that I had found a seasoned profesional hairstylist in a league of his own. Johnny knows all the styles and what is trending, but he also knows (based on hair type and head shape) what will look best on each person. I have come to trust him implicitly and have never been disappointed.

You won’t find an establishment quite like el toro. A neat place. The prices are a bit high, however that is a matter of perspective, and you get what you pay for. If you want a good haircut, I recommend trying this place out.

Awesome haircut go check it out! Best equipment in town

Get a good quick haircut for 20 bucks. Hard to beat and the barber shop has a great atmosphere. Johnny is good at what he does!

I read the reviews and expected this place to be amazing...boy was I wrong. One good thing I can say about the place is that the atmosphere is great. However, I get a military haircut (med or high fade) and he charged me an extra $4 on top of the regular price? Next, he attempted to fix my hair 2 or 3 times and STILL couldnt get both sides even....seriously this guy is not that good like the comments are suggesting. I also found him to be quite rude as he cursed and was unprofessional. I literally left this place and went to Head Hunters and got the best fade Ive had in a long long time...now thats a place I would recommend to someone. Dont be fooled by these people. Cheers

I LOVE this place! Come every two weeks and John does a great job. Working in TV, I need the best cut and he gets it done.

Great hair cuts every time all it needs is a beer cooler..

Great barber shop! Johnny is really knowledgeable about mens hair. The shop is filled with Pirate memorabilia that gives it a very cool feel. You can even play pool while you wait for one of the best haircuts in Greenville.

Great barbershop, quick fast affordable prices. Recommended!

Ive known Johnny for years. Great guy!

Awesome environment, awesome quality haircut. Johnny has great experience and all of the right tools to produce a perfect cut every time. Check him out!

I always have a great experience and he is a awesome guy and pays attention to detail!

Looking for a QUALITY haircut? Look no further...This is the best place to get a haircut in Greenville. Ive been going going here for two years and Ive had a great experience every time. Great atmosphere, great price, and overall a great place to get a haircut.

He remembers me and what I like and gives me great suggestions on what I might want to try to change it up if I want.

Me and my roommates come in every couple of weeks to get our hair cut and every time we are met by a very warm welcome at the door and an outstanding haircut every time. Can’t beat this place

Moved here from New York back in 2009. Johnny has been cutting my hair every single week since I have moved here. Thats a lot of haircuts. Im a funeral director so I try to maintain a sharp appearance. Johnny reminds me of my barber back at home. Now I live in Washington, North Carolina and of course I make the trip to Greenville to see Johnny because nothing else compares and I would never try anywhere else either. Johnnys awesome at what he does and is a good friend as well.

Never really a long wait, and has a pool table to pass the time. The guy has been in Greenville forever and it shows. Cuts hair real well as well. Definitely recommend

Does great hair cut! Very knowledgeable

Classy babershop. Next level decoration and great haircuts!

Always a great experience, Johnny is quick, professional and always takes care of ya when you go into his shop.

Johnny has been cutting my hair since 1996. I wouldnt go anywhere else. There was a time or two when I had my hair cut somewhere else because I was out of town but ended up having to come back to El Toro to have it fixed. True story. Lesson learned. Johnny gives the best haircuts in NC, period. The atmosphere is really excellent too. Unlike any barber shop Ive ever seen before. WiFi, a pool table, pirates everywhere. Super comfy environment. Theres nowhere else in town that comes close to El Toro. Johnny is a true professional barber.

Mr. Johnny knows what he’s doing. Would highly recommend

Great barber shop, fair prices and very quick service.

Friendly guy. Always a good cut and consistent. Cool atmosphere as well.

Favorite place to get a haircut. Never have been disappointed, prices are clearly stated, and Johnny clearly knows his trade very well. Highly recommend.

Best haircut I’ve had in Greenville, period!

Great atmosphere, most knowledgeable barber I have ever gone to. Great place for a quick cut.

Always gives cut and great service best barber in town

El Toro is the only Mens Hairstylist you will be finding on this side of NC. He knows his trade and the experience is much more professional than any great clip you come across. Theres a reason this business only gets 5 stars or 1 star and no in-between. Weed out the weak.

I cant understand how you wouldnt love this place! Such a nice atmosphere and He always does a great job... would recommend to anyone!

Great barbershop! Been coming here for over a year and get a great cut every time!

Ive been going to El Toro for over a year now and it is hands down the best hair cutting place in Greenville. Great and fast service every time, and his prices are a steal for his quality of work.

Consistently the highest quality, best service in Greenvile and area. Plus a very confortable place to relax!

The best there is, period. I dont understand how anyone can rate this man under 5 stars. Wish I found him 10 years earlier

Best men’s haircut in Greenville. Johnny is the man.

Great place to get your hair cut, definitely recommend

Johnny can cut any type of haircut. Just be speceific and explain exactly what you want done. Couldnt ask for a better barber

Johnny is a great barber at cutting hair

Great haircut! Will be back!

El Toro is thee only option for men in Greenville and the surrounding areas to get an excellent haircut from a real barber. Johnny is the best around and truly cares and knows hair. The environment of El Toro is like a barber shop should be, tv, wifi, sports magazines, a pool table and plenty of ECU memorabilia. His low prices are a steal for the quality of the work. If you want a real haircut see Johnny at El Toro.

Not as good as reviews show here. My hair didnt get symmetrical cut. One side is longer than other one. Wont recommend to anyone.

Best barbershop in town. Period.

Fastest best shop in town. Love the atmosphere.

Great job on the cut and the beard. Thanks Johnny
