Super cool barber shop w great barbers! Very convenient location to downtown north knox and powell. Super cool vibe going on here. Plenty of space and great barbers. Be sure to book online to get an appointment. Don and Dillon have been great friendly and given great haircuts! Be sure to grab some of their awesome hair product. I use it daily and jeeps me looking great between cuts. Stop in and play chess or checkers if you have some free time im sure they would live to chat w you about getting a great haircut.

Mason is an absolute machine with the clippers. Best haircut I have had in years. Best barber and the shop has the best atmosphere in Knoxville. It is incredibly clean and everyone there is friendly as can be. Google doesn’t have enough stars for what this deserves. 10/10.

I moved here from the west coast and was worried about finding a barber. I was recommended to come here from one of the movers from the company that delivered our stuff. I picked Hannah based off the reviews I read. Hands down and will be my main hair and beard stylist here in Knoxville. She is very friendly, and very confident with her work. The hot towel was the best experience ive had, on the west coast that wasnt/wouldnt happen at all. Not to mention the atmosphere and other clientele is phenomenal and friendly.

I have received several haircuts at the shop. It is a very open, attractive, interesting and friendly shop. The manager is very helpful and easy to check in and out with. Everyone is smiling and all the clients leave smiling!! Greta is a terrific barber and great at taking care of younger and older clients using her training and skills. I endorse and recommend this shop with my highest regard!!

I have been twice to have Hannah trim my beard, and both times were very enjoyable. Not only does she do a great job with her trims, but shes very personable and makes you feel comfortable. To be honest, the hot towel and smell good stuff is worth the price of the trim, never mind walking out looking fantastic. I got so many compliments on my last trim, so Ill definitely be back again regularly.

Saints and Sailors Barber Shop provides more than an excellent haircut; the people who make up Saints and Sailors provide customers with an experience. Stepping into their shop is like stepping back into time with vintage chairs, classic floor tile, straight razors and hot towels. The barbers are attentive to each customers wants and needs. From the time you arrive, until you walk out refreshed and refined, you are treated as a friend. The investment in self-care at Saints and Sailors Barber Shop is a premium value!

I moved to eastern TN/KY for grad school. I’d been in the area for about 8 months and had tried a few barbers but no one could cut my hair like my stylist at home. Finally, a friend tried Saints and Sailors and recommended Jonathon. On my next day off from school, I drive the hour to Knoxville to see Jonathon and get my hair cut. The shop was clean, everyone was masked and socially distant. Haircut came out great. Sent a picture to my stylist at home and she said it looked great too but I couldn’t like Jonathan more than her. Highly recommend both Jonathon and Saints and Sailors Barber Shop. Will definitely keep going back as long as I’m in the area.

New to Historic North Knoxville and love our neighborhood and the variety of businesses. Wife and daughter suggested S&S and was delighted by the depth of service for a cut and beard trim. Haven’t been to many/any true barbershops and really enjoyed the hot towel straight razor touch ups and great cut. Welcome to East Tennessee Johnathan. Have been twice and Johnathan is a great guy new from Florida. Hope you enjoyed the snow and a White Christmas! I usually use a cheap chain local to my work but have set a monthly appointment with Johnathan and don’t expect to go back to the other anytime soon.If you are local or don’t mind traveling a bit for a great cut/shave/beard trim or whatever. Come check out S&S and enjoy the other pubs and local breweries North Knoxville has to offer.GREAT JOB GUYS!!

Super cool place! Everyone does a great job. The atmosphere is nice, the staff is professional, you get a very good haircut, and the prices are eminently fair. Anyone going to the big chain barber shops should switch to this place immediately.

Ive been going to Saints and Sailors for probably over a year now and I love it! Always a solid experience. You get in a chair at the time you are scheduled for, they never take too long, I love my hair cut, its a reasonable price, and great environment! Couldnt ask for more. I love their use of technology as well to schedule online or even setup reoccurring appointments.

Cool shop, super friendly people. Jonathan did a stellar job on my beard trim...essential-oil essenced, hot towel included. Definitely book an appointment with this guy. Damn, so good 🤙🏻

Review №22

It may really depend on who does the cut. The facility was super clean and great. The guy barely cut my hair. I asked for a cleaner close cut. He barely spoke. Idk if thats because I am a specific type of minority or what... But the haircut wasnt bad, he just didnt do much at all. He also barely spoke to me which is totally fine but couldnt figure out what the sudden silence was about. He he had been very communicative with the other people prior to me.The facility was great looking. Not sure if I just caught my barber at a weird time or if they literally didnt wanna give me a hair cut. If i go back Ill be more stern about what I want and look for a different barber/stylist at the location.

I had Greta cut my hair and she was awesome, funny, and really made me feel welcome! And honestly, the vibe from everyone there was so amazing that I’d trust any of them near my head with a pair of scissors. Definitely going back the next time I need it!

We have never had a bad experience. Greta cuts my sons hair which is blonde and well, it takes someone special to do that. She is always asking his opinion, making sure he, and I as well, are happy. She converses and really makes him feel comfortable. I really do hope we have found “our” place.

Im bald, but I swear they make a shaved head look better than I can shaving it myself at the house. Also, they do a great job shaping up my beard. Youll walk out of their shop knowing you look better than when you arrived!

Review №29

High quality shop, and professionally run. They don’t rush, and take the time to actually get job done right and take into account what you want. The finishing touches are used here: hot towels on your beard, straight razors, and actual barber chairs, and it makes a difference. I have seen a few of the barbers here, and they are all good, but I recommend John.

Greta is amazing I gave her some artistic freedom and she knocked it out of the park. A professional experience with professional people. Accentuated with barbers license. This is the place for all your grooming needs! Don is always a pleasure to speak with when setting appointments and paying up. If you havent been here youre not doing yourself any favors.

Had been looking for a good, old fashioned barber shop, wasnt into trying the big chain shops, could not have made a better decision! This place is great, great people, skilled staff, didnt have to wait to begin my appointment. As a matter of fact, made my next appointment before leaving my very first visit. You cant go wrong coming to this shop.

Saints and Sailors is a fantastic Barber Shop. I always book online and pre-pay for my services. This helps me save time and not wait in line like I have had to do at other barber shops. The service is always top notch in an inviting environment. I will continue to use Saints and Sailors for all of my hair cuts and beard trims.

Hannah did a great job with my cut. It was actually first one Ive had during current pandemic. Wanted to make sure I went to a super clean place that took restrictions seriously. Saints and Sailors Barber Shop did not disappoint!The shop is large and airy (15 foot ceilings?) and the chairs are all spaced apart well.They did seat another customer one chair over from me, so wasnt crazy about that (he was distanced enough, but with chairs on the other wall, would have preferred they sat him over there).Love the truly contactless payment option (paid in full online before my appointment, including tip).Highly recommend (especially if youve waited 8 months to get a cut, like I did!).

Just started using Saints & Sailors after moving back to Knoxville recently and even after just a few appointments I feel like Ibe been going there for years. The aesthetics of the shop are cool which add to the overall experience and value of what you pay for. Employees and the space create a welcoming atmosphere. The barbers are knowledgeable as well as very skillful at their craft. Would recommend it to any of my friends.

I started going to Saints and Sailors since COVID. Ive been getting skin fades by Johnathan Tilman who has given me my favorite haircut Ive ever had and quickly has earned another loyal customer! My 3 year old son has also come with me, and Hannah Hamilton always gives him an amazing skin fade. Overall, everyone is super friendly and they make the whole booking/paying process simple and convenient online.

I have been going to Saints and Sailors for a few months and I really have enjoyed my experience there. Hannah is the Barber I go to and she does an amazing job. I am always satisfied with the work she does. I never have to wait long and they run efficiently. Saints and Sailors sells the best hair product I have ever used - Anchor Aweigh Hair Matte Clay. I buy the pumpkin spice seasonal when it is in season and use it all year. The product truly lasts a long time. Finally, they have implemented safe COVID-19 practices and I appreciate all they have done to ensure a safe, quality experience.

Review №69

I had a weird and unwelcoming experience at this place. I would not recommend it to LGBTQ people or allies unless the shop steps up their game.To be clear, the experience had to do with another customer, and not the staff of saints and Sailors itself. It does not reflect any other aspect of their service.But some hateful people are feeling very emboldened right now., and I asked the shop to make its privately stated acceptance of LGBTQ customers visible. Put up a rainbow sticker, something. The response I got back was underwhelming, to put it generously.I hate that l am left to assume that Saints and Sailors doesn’t want to alienate the anti-LGBTQ part of their customer base by stating publicly that they welcome LGBTQ customers. But I’d be happy if they proved me wrong.

For close to a year, I have been getting my barber needs from Saints and Sailors. After being with my last barber for almost five years, making a change was hard but I can say, without a doubt, this place is amazing.
