Hallie has been cutting my hair for several months now. I am so very pleased with the results. My hair consistently looks as good in week 4 as it does on day 1. Hallie remembers from appointment to appointment what I need, and her suggestions are always thoughtful and helpful. In addition to her skill, I truly appreciate her genuine Eastern NC friendliness and courtesy. The vintage atmosphere of the shop also appeals to me.
The place is set up backwards from every barber / salon Ive ever been to. They literally face you away from the mirror and stand behind you the entire time. I asked several times during my cut how it was going, because I couldnt see what the stylist was doing. End result, a cut that looks nothing like what I asked for after 13 months of letting it grow. If youre looking for a basic buzz cut, I wouldnt worry, but if youre particular about your style, ask them to turn you around while cutting your hair, or dont go here.
I’ve had my haircut (skin fade) and beard lined up (straight razor) by Luis and Hallie and both did a phenomenal job with attention to detail. The atmosphere of this place is top notch and sets itself apart from a typical barbershop. All the staff members are very courteous and friendly. This will be my go to barbershop from here on out.
I’ve had my hair cut by Alma over the last year. Due to a last minute trip I had to book with the first available - Katy. She was excellent as well. I’m convinced you can’t get a bad haircut here.I was hesitant to leave a review because it can be hard to get a haircut here due to how busy they are… the reality is this place is likely the most expensive men’s haircut in town and the chairs are always full - you get what you pay for!
The staff booked only half hour window for cutting my daughters hair. We were a bit late to the appointment. At the end of the cut, I was not completely satisfied with the outcome and requested for what I asked for originally when I called to book the appointment. The stylist pretty much said she cannot do anything more because her next booking is waiting. So pretty much asked us to leave? She did not fully finish the job but they charged us for everything. I had to find another barber shop the next minute we came out of shave on the fifth to finish what was started. The stylist was patient and good, but unprofessional in my opinion. She could have just said I am not experienced/not comfortable with what you are asking and I would have completely understood.. but saying I have to take care of someone else while my daughter was still sitting in the chair.. that was not expected..the hairstylist did not even ask her colleagues to finish the job.. they should have just rescheduled the appointment or set enough time because they already knew what I wanted 3 days prior to the appointment.. I came here spending top dollar thinking il get great service.. I was completely wrong..
I’ve been a client for the past 3 years. Always had a good experience. I signed up for a 3 week recurring hair cut. If your barber goes on vacation or they close for vacation nobody calls to tell you. They just cancel with no explanation!! Very unprofessional in my opinion. I’ve spent close to a $100.00 a month there. They at least should call you and try to reschedule. I wouldn’t recommend them!!! They’ll lose my $100.00 a month. Good luck.
If you want your beard trimmed right, friendly service and a clean place..this is where you need to go.
It’s a quality haircut but I find that often employees are skipping steps that make the haircut worth it. I went and got a haircut and a beard trim for 56.00 and I feel like my cut was rushed because it was almost closing time. No hot towel. No shaving cream when they did the beard trim. I just left feeling like I didn’t get my money’s worth.
This place rocks. Cool atmosphere, friendly people, and great cuts. I was nervous about getting my long hair cut off short but Sierra did an awesome job!! I’ll definitely be recommending this place to my friends and family :)
We sure love Ms. Hallie!! Great shop and great service!
Never doubt these Barbers, extremely great at their work
I’ve received the best hair cuts of my life every time I’ve gone, the barber named mike is especially good if you can book with him I highly recommend.
Best hair cut Ive ever had! Cole is remarkable and Id recommend him to anyone who needs a great haircut.
Best barber in gville. If youre ugly, theyll make your hair look good, atleast.
Luis is the man to see here at shave on fifth! I am a repeat customer and he remembers the way I like my hair cut every time and each time he cuts his hair it’s the same outcome. Very professional and soothing experience.
Went to this place for the first time last week and had a good and bad experience. First thing I liked is that I was able to schedule an appointment same day and within 15 minutes of the time I originally called. They have parking space in front of the shop and the environment inside has a real nice vibe to it. Took my barber 1 hour from the time I sat down to cut my hair and give me clean shave. Was pretty enjoyable experience getting a hot shave done. What I didnt like is that after paying $50 I went home and noticed I still had hair under my ears and lots of stubble around my chin area. Cant believe I was there that long and he had missed plenty of spots. Overall haircut was amazing but still had to come home and touch up what he missed during my clean shave. Would probably go back for haircut but definitely pass on the shave.
Awesome place. Nice environment, I go to Mike. He always hooks me right on up. Got a new home to my cuts now
Stayed late to finish my hair cut. Very nice
They recently expanded. Their waiting room is enormous now, equipped with a full-size pool table and a small bar. An already nice barbershop just got a little bit nicer.This is a full-service barbershop. If you need a haircut, a fade, a beard trim, or a straight razor shave, they do it all. And they do it well.
Best place in Greenville to get a haircut!
Very nice space and great atmosphere. You definitely get good cuts here, but be prepared to wait A LONG time. Multiple times, my appointments was pushed back over an hr after I arrived on time. They double and triple book appointments, so you may have multiple people in front of you. Personally, I don’t have 2 hrs to spend at the shop just to wait to be seated.
I have a beard and a bald head. I wanted a fresh cut and smooth head for graduation. I requested that a straight razor be used for shaving my head and that my beard have a very crisp outline.... it was cringeworthy. The barber seemed unfamiliar with the straight razor. He was not cutting any of the hair off my head, I couldn’t feel it coming off. As far as my beard, he took some clippers and cut the stray hairs. When he took the cape off and brushed me off and handed me the mirror.... i was so upset. I touched my head and I could feel the stubble all over (despite him using a straight razor). My beard was basic. The cut was free per the manager but I felt bad for the guy. I left him a monetary tip and a verbal one. The only thing that your getting from this place is an “experience” and the “atmosphere.” It’s vintage, got the exposed brick, and there are drinks that you can have (alcohol). Would not recommend. I walked over a block and went to “another level.”
The only place to get a cut in Greenville. Everyone on the team is extremely talented and they have created an awesome vibe within their shop.
Scheduling an appointment was very easy and straightforward. There was no wait when I came in for my appointment for a haircut + beard trim. Beard trims looks excellent. The haircut looks good too, but not performed per description.Per my instructions I wanted ~ 0.5 inches off the top (and accepted the professional recommendation of my barber of 1.5 inches based on the rest of my haircut description). I am essentially blind during haircuts, since I wear glasses, and put my faith in the initial description. However, after my cut was over with my hair was definitely not cut back 1.5 inches. Measured it when I got home and there is ~3.5 inches missing.
Wow. What a great experience. I’ve never been in a barbershop like this before. Luis was wonderful. I hope I’ve found myself a new barber!! Highly recommend
I started getting my hair cut here with Mike before I left college in 2018. A highly experienced and professional barber with a great cut for a great price. Just came back for a wedding and got my hair cut by Alex. (Mike was booked up). I’m skeptical of letting new people cut my hair, but he hooked me up with a clean cut and perfect hard part in less than 30 minutes. Dude is ice cold with the clippers. Feeing fresh for this wedding. 10/10 would recommend.
Brooks knows what he’s doing. Took forever to find me a barber in this town that does a great cut. Timing could be better but life happens. Here lately booked an appointment and I’m not I’m the chair until 20 - 30 minutes later after my appointment time.
Always have gotten an excellent cut here, and the staff are very polite!The atmosphere is great!
Leah is amazing and always gives an excellent cut. She is friendly and pleasant to talk with each visit. The extras that come with the haircut make it so relaxing!
Had great experience having my hair and beard trimmed here. Very friendly, clean and excellent hair cutting experience!!!!
Took myself and my 19 year old brother in for the first time and it was the best money I’ve ever spent. A beer and a soda on the house, great customer service and an even better atmosphere. Huge thanks to my barber James, I wasn’t even sure what I wanted walking in there but he got me right and cleaned up looking NICE! Will definitely be back! 10/10 recommend.
Excellent service, good value, and fantastic staff.
Well managed appointment system and an excellent cut. There is an atmosphere of quality and professionalism inside that is echoed by the barbers.
I wanna give a BIG SHOUT OUT to Leah ! I had a not so good experience a couple of months ago from another barber. I went in on a Wednesday afternoon and she made time to fix my hair. I was back this past Sunday and she did a most excellent job! She took her time and went the extra mile to make sure I had the best haircut and beard trim!
Great haircut every time. Luis does a great job and I love the setup and vibe of the place.
This place is great. Was really surprised the first time I came here because I was so used to going to my barber back home and they did a great job. I always go for Chris and he always does a great job. The atmosphere of the shop adds to the experience. It also helps that they have beer on tap and coffee.I can always get an appointment when I check a few days before I need to go. The staff is always smiling and are great to talk too.
Went here once to try these guys out because I heard so many good things. The cut I received was not what I asked for. I asked the barber to trim it down a little more, I was told there was no time and that next time I needed to book a full service instead of just a cut. Everything was completely impersonal. I felt more like a number and less like a customer. I won’t be returning, sadly.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Katy was my stylist, she did a great job of my haircut & beard trim. I have been getting compliments. Thank you Katy!!
Ive been here multiple times and it certainly lives up to the hype. Ive had appointments with several of the staff members and so far I love Cole the most! He takes his time, doesnt talk too much and doesnt just try and get customers in-and-out. Big shout-out to Cole, I choose him every chance I get!
Kinda pricey but if you want a quality job with positive interactions this is the place to go. The cut while professional was quick and the barbers were personable. A laid back atmosphere with barbers that seem to enjoy each other. The sitting area is also a nice touch and the beverage they give you is just icing on the cake.
I HIGHLY recommend Shave on Fifth to anyone that is looking for a new barber!! I usually go to Alex everytime and he is the best is the game! Keep up the good work!!
I’ve been a customer since this place opened. First off atmosphere. Light, fun, and manly. Want a beer? Have one on the house from a great local brewery or a water or soft drink. Have yet to ever leave disappointed. Reasonably priced for the high level of service you get and the staff is great to chat with and treats you like an old friend. I live in Wake County now but still drive the hour to see Mike and his crew for a top notch haircut. They have a second location at Coffman’s Menswear which is the location I used today and loved it as well. Do yourself a favor, book the full on haircut and shave. You won’t regret it.
Best barbershop in Greenville, NC! Both locations have a relaxing atmosphere and all the barbers are amazing! My son especially loves Chris Stafford to cut his hair.
Awesome place! Super nice looking, very clean, and great atmosphere. All the staff is incredibly nice and welcoming. Always get a haircut and beard trim when I go. Brooks hasnt let me down yet! Like Bob Ross with a straight razor.
Great barber shop! I had a great experience at the one in Coffmans and now at this location as well. Thank you James Starling for an excellent cut and thank you Shave on Fifth for being a phenomenal barber shop!
Always get a good cut from these guys. We had a misunderstanding about a appointment they allowed me to come back later and gave me a free haircut and beard trim. Definitely recommend these guys if you need your hair cut and you’re in the area
If you have a beard or any facial hair this is the place for you. They will help you keep it neat and you looking Sharp. If you want a fresh professional shave this is the place also. Need a haircut or new hair style this is the place to go.
Absolutely the best barbershop around. Excellent atmosphere, lots of laughs and fun. I have a standing appointment every week. Come on down and get on the list. You will not be disappointed! These folks have become my extended family.
I will never go anywhere else again, on time, very professional and amazing hair cut and beard trim. This was my 1st visit but will now be my new haircut home!!
Great place. Great atmosphere. Great hair cut!
Katy is there now and really is the only person who has ever gotten my hair right. She did a great beard trim too.
Grant done a great job. Nice place. Will be back
Had a great experience. Everyone is really nice and welcoming! Chris S helped me incredibly since I wasnt sure what to look for with my current hairstyle. Definitely will be coming here plenty!
This place is a legitimate barber shop. They have a vintage style, but they also mix in contemporary elements to make it a modern and welcoming place.Booking appointments on their website is easy, and once your appointment is booked you get a confirmation text as well as a confirmation screen with links to automatically add the appointment to your calendar.When I arrived (a little early) I was acknowledged and offered a beverage while I waited. When it was my turn, I noticed that Mike took his time to properly clean and arrange his tools, which I think says a lot about his dedication to his craft. The haircut was very precise, and I can tell a lot of care was put in to it. In my opinion this is the difference in a true barber and someone who just cuts hair. That extra attention to the trade is appreciated.When it was time to pay I was able to quickly and easily pay with their tablet system, and I was able to add the tip straight to my card.All in all this barber is exactly what I was looking for, and I plan to continue coming to them for the foreseeable future.
Great haircuts in a nice environment. The service is very good and the staff professional. Its very much an old-fashioned barber shop but with a modern twist. They have a 100 sanitation rating and very reasonable prices. Ill definitely be back.
Yes. Yes yes yes. Call this place steak sauce...because it’s A1. This is by far the best experience I’ve had with a barber shop. Mike (the owner) gave me a great cut, clean line up on my beard, and honestly, he was really easy to talk to and to get along with. The atmosphere of The Shave is what drew me in. It’s rustic, bare bone, and old school...but with a new school feel. There’s a mini fridge with complimentary drinks while you wait, playing cards, magazines, candy bowls, etc. You will NOT be disappointed. I found my barber.
Ive been a client of Mike since his door opened. The atmosphere is like no other shop in the area. Very Very professional and his staff is great. Forget waiting inline or even someone jumping in front of you. Download there app Shave on Fifth and schedule your appointment. Sit back relax enjoy a soda, a water, a cup of coffee or even a beer. Thanks mike and everyone at Shave on Fifth. You guys are phenomenal.
Was turned away today for not wearing a mask. Normally this is not something I would object to but there were employees and other customers that were being served that were not wearing masks. I am disappointed that this business tries to force practices they deem safe onto customers but doesnt require their employees to follow them.
Brooks has been a regular barber for me the last couple of months and he has always been fantastic. Great environment, great conversation. They really go for a quality experience and hit the mark. I would absolutely recommend it.
Attention to detail at its best! And every time I go in there, they seem to step their game up. Their equipment, staff, and customer service/experience is top notch. Highly recommend. Mike, I love you brother! Thanks for coming to Greenville and keeping us all so handsome. See you soon!
I was recommended to try these guys out. I truly have to say that this place isn’t just a place to get your hair cut and/or a shave, it’s about the atmosphere and the experience. These guys definitely know how to do exactly that. I had them cut my hair today and it turned out absolutely amazing. Hands down, this place is a must to try out and for me, it will be where I continue to get my hair and beared trimmed from now on. These guys are the best in town without a doubt.
After hearing about this place from a ton of different people, I decided to check out the new location they just opened above Coffmans. Mike did an amazing job and certainly lived up to the hype. I typically get my haircut at the most convenient place to where I am but todays experience has changed that. Great atmosphere, great haircut, and great service - cant beat it anywhere else. Keep it up!
Awesome shop with a great vibe. Always get a quality cut!
Shave on Fifth is incredible! I will not get my haircut by anywhere else so long as I live in Greenville, NC. Firstly, the staff are incredible. They are genuine men’s hair sculptors, and are extremely talented at what they do. (I get mine cut by Cathleen). They are friendly, and care a lot about your hair. The experience is great too! They offer complimentary drinks, the shop is artistic, and it feels like a man-cave. I’ve been twice now, and plan to go back consistently. 10/10 recommend this place!
I have to start out with how impressed I was with the facility, staff, and overall experience. The team members there are very attentive and helpful in making your full experience better. This was the first time I have had a full cut / shave combo and I will never settle for just another hair cut again. You feel fresh and rejuvenated leaving there, I would recommend it to any man or boy in your life! I will be back for my 2 week follow up to keep it handsome
Just so dam expensive for no reason! Haircuts are good. But you have to have some sense! A short haired mans haircut should be $20 max including tip!
Great guys & a great establishment. In and out in 25 minutes, yet the best haircut i’ve ever had. Chris is a cool dude and better barber. I highly recommend The Shave on Fifth and i will be returning.
Where to begin!? The Shave is a fine establishment located on the outskirts of uptown, the staff is extraordinary, and their professional haircuts could land a bum a job. Friend recommended the place to me and now I don’t know what I’m gonna do when I leave Greenville. May have to make the 2 hour drive back once every 2 weeks to get my fresh cut. Special shout out to my girl Kathleen, didn’t even look in the mirror before I left today after my cut. Always 10/10, keep up the great work guys.
Shave on Fifth offers the charm of an old school barbershop with all the modern amenities to pamper you and put that confidence back in your swagger. Booking can be done online and with ease. Overall, fantastic experience
Had my first experience with shave on 5th this morning and I have to say the staff and atmosphere was outstanding. Leah does an amazing job every time and I highly recommend her. Not many places will give you a complimentary beverage, cant wait to go back.
High quality haircuts is what sets this place apart from the competition. These guys take their time with every cut. They offer a level of style and sophistication that you can’t get anywhere else.
These folks help gentlemen look their best. They know what a mans haircut is supposed to look like, and how to do it. They speak the old-school barbershop language, too. There arent many places where you can say that you want a high-top boogie, with a hard part, and bald-fade without them looking at you like youve just spoken Greek. But, these folks know what that means.
Pretty cool place to go. Looks super classy and feels that way. Very up to date on technology and its a great price. I went in to get my beard cleaned up for an evening where I was going to get my wife from the airport after being apart for a week. I got sat down with Chris Stafford and that guy is awesome. Very knowledgeable and precise. I will definitely be going back for everything I need now. Much better than the sports clips Ive been going to. Go see Chris Stafford. He will hook you up.
Killer place to get your hair cut and a beard trim. They keep it classy and old school. Aslo free drinks when your waiting.
Been going here for almost a year now, always have a great experience! Me and my son always get exactly what we ask for, we love the staff and the environment is top notch. We recommend The Shave on Fifth to anyone looking for a great barber shop, you won’t be disappointed!
Amazing service, really make the best out of their customers. Hands down the best barbershop. Really recommend coming here!!!
This place is absolutely great! The atmosphere is amazing and the owner really gives you a good experience. I got a great haircut here and didnt have to wait forever due to their booking system! They also provide gift certificates for their services as well. Really a top notch experience and I would definitely suggest this place to anyone.
First time at the shop and definitely wont be the last! A comfortable and friendly atmosphere greet you at the door. The first time hair cut and shave was an amazing experience, which will become a monthly visit. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys a decent cut/shave different and doesnt want to have it done at your run of the mill hair cutting places.
My first visit here was last Monday (12/16/19) James Starling was fantastic conversation, excellently skilled with plenty of creative and classic ideas for my hair. As I just recently got into my dream job of sales, I have been looking for new ideas and concepts for everything in my life(I.e. clothes, hair, style, etc.) and after my first experience I will be returning here for every cut I need. On top of that even though I am a younger individual(specially in the service/sales industry) normally younger folks are discounted or not taken seriously, however James was patient, calm, took his time(I was in there 1.5-2 hrs with the cut shave and all), and most importantly you could tell he wasn’t ever thinking about how much $$ he was making off me or how much I was spending. In the end I left a $20 tip, bought the product he used in my hair without him “selling it” to me he just simply explained how, when and why to use it. I walked out spending over $100 (unluckily they only had the very small and biggest tins of the product and I bought the biggest so I didn’t have to keep repurchasing) and I couldn’t be more satisfied. Great job James and thanks to you, your company will be receiving my business repeatedly, if it’s not obvious yet anyone going here for the first time, get James! I’m sure everyone there is great but as a salesperson the first impression he provided will stick with me for life!
Great haircuts, easy scheduling and some of the best customer service I’ve ever received.
I really enjoy this barbershop James is a awesome barber. The customer experience is second to none. If you are looking for a GREAT barbershop this is it!
Hands down the best hair cut I’ve ever gotten. Mike did a phenomenal job. He convinced me to step out of comfort zone and try and new haircut and it looked great and I’m very pleased with it! Great place!
Amazing! I love it and I will be going back. I love the environment! The barbers/stylists seem so welcoming and actually care about customers. You can tell that everyone in there takes their time in what they do! Many barbershops around Greenville and surrounding areas don’t take quality in their work. I have to say, the barbers of Shave on Fifth take their time and actually care. This is the first time I’ve been to a barbershop (with appointment) and didn’t have to wait at all. Peak times are understandable, but I was shocked that I got to sit right in the chair immediately! The interior is designed well too. 10/10 review
Mike has a great barber shop with an old school feel. His staff is friendly and warm. Leah did a fantastic job with my young son. Do yourself a favor and experience the Shave on Fifth.
Had a great experience at shave on 5th. Chris S hooked me up. Only came in to get my ends cut and my neck clean up and I ended up getting my beard shaved as well. Dude was cool as hell and hooked it up.
Brooks cut my hair yesterday at the new Coffman’s location. He did an outstanding job on my haircut. These guys take their time and their close attention to detail sets them apart. The Coffman’s location is a really cool concept. Great service and a great haircut. I would highly recommend Shave on Fifth!!!
Customer service is incredible. The entire staff is welcoming and accommodating. Kathleen always does a great job. I highly recommend The Shave on Fifth.
Chris did a fantastic job and was super professional. Shop is very squared away and the atmosphere was very nice. Highly recommend them to everyone!!
First they fit me in on their already tight schedule. Then Micheal did a great job on my haircut, beard trim and razor edging. I thought I would be late for work but Micheal got me in and out with a sharp look and I did not miss a minute of work. I am definitely going back and bringing friends.
One of the ladies did my boyfriends hair and he told her how he wanted it and she did something completely different. The cut itself was very short almost to a buzz cut, he ended up with a cut on his neck and she missed his side burns. He’s always been pleased with his other hair cut from there but he got someone who took barely any time and messed up his hair.
Great customer service. Amazing quality!!
My fiance loves going to this location for all things beard. A great environment with quality services.
Cant say enough great things about this place. I went for the first time this past Sunday, and the whole operation was efficient and clean. I hadnt had a great haircut in years. Kathleen absolutely knocked this one out of the park! My wife, who usually is very critical of my haircuts, has complimented me on it multiple times over the last few days.
Bought a gift certificate for my husband as a Christmas gift- he loved it and is now a repeat customer. Mike is very professional and fantastic at what he does, always leaves my husband looking fresh!!!! Highly deserving of 5 stars, would give it 10 if I could!!!!
Outstanding experience here. A true professional barber with attention to detail you simply will not get at a chain. The atmosphere is top shelf. An example of the best Greenville can offer.
Great barber shop for a great price. Everyone is super friendly and takes great care of you
