Easy appointments, great staff and clean place.$35.00 not bad but jumping to $42.00October 1, 2021. That is insane for Little Rock Arkansas. That’s not even with a shampoo.I will miss this place but way too expensive for a haircut. DogTown still holding at $30.00 or $35.00 for haircut and shampoo. I saw one review where it said Handlebar is “Over confident with the $7.00 price hike” and “price gouging”. I have to agree, sadly.

I finally found my barbershop, amazing atmosphere and very clean shop. Very friendly staff. I showed my barber a picture of what I wanted and he gave me something 3x better! Still new to getting undercuts and designs but I love it!

Its very convenient to book an appointment online. This barber shop is very welcoming. I highly recommend Alain if youre looking for a fresh clean cut!

Ive gotten a cut and beard trim from Ray and Cody and theyre both awesome. Seriously, the best cuts Ive ever gotten. Chill environment. Knowledgeable barbers. Go as often as you can.

Fabulous! Finally a barber shop where I got a haircut just the way I wanted! Great service, clean spacious place and hip-hop classics in the background - exactly what I needed! Highly recommend.

Forty years sitting in the barber chair. This was the best. Showed up just before close, and Pachi was able to get me in. First Class and worth every cent. Great vibe....Was traveling and would travel back here just for the experience.

Great service. Excellent people. Nice place. They have always a good talk. Time flies by when a conversation starts with the barber.

Timely, awesome attitudes and quality work on both hubby and son. I am pleased. Thanks Pachi!

I feel like a new man! My hair is amazing now, Pachi took his time and made sure that my hair looked perfect. There’s no way I can go to any other barber now after this! Thanks guys!

I have been looking for a barbershop for a while and a friend recommended handle barbershop. Halleigh did a great job and exceeded my expectations! I highly recommend this place!

1st time being in the chair. Very good experience. Barbershop very cool. I highly recommend you try this barbershop 💈 out. A++

Best gym in Little Rock hands down. The programs and health and wellness options available to members is not equaled anywhere else. Cleanliness, amazingly nice and professional staff, hours and amenities are top tier! Its not just going to the gym, its an experience!

This place is the best. Pachi takes good cate of me.

Great barber shop with a very nice atmosphere. Alain is an excellent barber and provids great and consistent haircuts.They also follow the mask mandate during the pandemic and the place is super clean.

Clean friendly staff with professional barbers...ish, some apprentices in the mix but under decent supervision.Make no mistake, this is a real barber shop, with a trendy twist, which creates a pleasant atmosphere. Just be sure to allocate plenty of time for a real haircut.

These guys are the real deal. Best cuts in central Arkansas hands down. I live 35 minutes away and I don’t go anywhere else. I use Ray but not one of these guys will let you down. Good atmosphere, music, and vibes every time.

Ive never experienced a barber with more pride in their work than the fellas that cut my hair here. Every single one of them are amazing.

Best haircut Ive ever gotten. I had Mr. Alain Ravelo. Fantastic barber and exemplary attention to detail. If I lived in the area I would exclusively use this barbershop.

Well staffed and extremely friendly, they have found a way to make it feel normal even with COVID restrictions. I have had three different barbers that I would ask for again when I go back. Kids haircut was adorable and professional, along with working well with my child during the cut. My favorite part is the attention to my beard when it starts to grow out to much and needs a clean trim to look great.

First time going there they are very professional and they have a inviting environment for customers. Will definitely be returning to them

Finding a new barber is on my list of things I could do without for the rest of my life. Unfortunately, moving my barber to Little Rock was not an option and flying to LA every three weeks isnt practical.Enter Handle Barbershop, a stunning shop in the heart of downtown Little Rock.I was one of two customers on this cold and dreary October afternoon, sitting on the opposite end of the storefront from the other guy. Alain took care of me, a skintight mid fade, while wearing a mask. Had me in-and-out in no more than 30 minutes, feeling like a human again. Very clean work. The razor finish a must.Came home to a happy and approving wife. Now ready to celebrate our first anniversary, looking fresh.Happy to call this my new home for haircuts.

I will not be returning and I’d advise against others going to Pachi. I requested nothing done to the top of my hair, and just to slim up the sides and back. My haircut involved at least 2 inches being taken off the top of my hair, and the sides literally longer than the front

These guys are great. They ALL know what they’re doing and especially with facial hair. Great cuts and greater shaves.

Great service, fresh haircuts, and a fantastic environment!Definitely will be frequenting here!

When I moved to town, I thought there was no way Id be able to replace my previous barber. Id recommend Ray to anyone who thinks the same (anyone in general really!), he never disappoints. Hes consistently given a great cut, and Im glad my search ended so quickly.

I called to make an appointment and I got an immediate call back. I got great instruction about the process of checking in and about how they were managing the issue of COVID-19 concerns. Jacob did an exceptional job. Best haircut ever! I really enjoyed the great views of our wonderful downtown Little Rock Main Street area. The entire staff was extremely friendly and conscientious. These folks are real pros!

Pachy is the absolute best ever!!!

Always do a great job

What can I say about the best barber shop in good ol Little Rock. First off how can you not walk in just from looking at the shop. The windows stretch across the whole shop giving it a very welcoming atmosphere. You walk in and the ascetic of the shop just grabs you. The lay out is perfect relax on the couch or the chairs while waiting for your cut. Listen to the good music flowing through the shop or the conversations.. because that’s barbering at its best. There’s nothing like a flow of conversation throughout the shop while your in the chair whether with your barber or the client next to you just a great vibe all around. The cuts I mean come on... choose your guy! Each style or haircut you want there’s a barber there that fills your needs. All in all one of the best shops in south. And one of the best up and coming shops look out these guys are the REAL DEAL.

This place is great, the staff is great, the atmosphere is great, and I always leave with a great cut, style, and shave.Pachi is the man

Designs by the best this side of Mississippi, thanks JR. !

Recently move to LR and was looking for a great barber. I found many 5star reviews of guys at Handle and had to give it a try after a failed attempt elsewhere. I scheduled with Jacob and couldn’t have been more pleased. Amazingly detailed and I received the best cut I’ve ever had. This is my place moving forward. Super cool shop. It seemed that all the guys there would be more than capable to handle any cut.

HALLEIGH, is Handle Barbershops coming attraction, she is a hair artist! Online quick and easy bookings as well as personal attention to make sure I had my best haircut ever! Rember FRIENDS DONT LET THERE FRIENDS GO TO sports cuts.

Pachi is the man. Best shave and haircut I have ever had

I have been going to Handle since they opened and have never had a bad experience.If you want a legit good haircut it is the place to go.

The guys that run this shop are very professional and are masters of their trade. When I was in LR for some training, I went to Handle Barbershop the whole 6 weeks. As soon as you enter the shop, they treat you right. They offer a greeting and a beverage. I would look online to schedule a appointment just because it gets busy certain parts of the day. The price is reasonable. They have a hot/cold towel which is amazing when getting your cut. I didnt get to try them all but I usually stick to one barber for continuity. I started with Austin and he did not disappoint. I also had Jacob, he was a new addition to the shop but he has a ton of experience and gave me a detailed cut. The bald fade is my go to cut. Handle is a friendly spot with good music that creates a chill atmosphere. I would highly recommend them!

Showed up for appointment sat there for 20 minutes and was never acknowledged, even though others came in after me were attended to.

Looking for a classic shave and a haircut? Cranford will hook your up. The place has such a cool vibe without being pretentious. The guys are all super welcoming and it’s great place to go when you need to be taken care of.

I’ve been coming to Handle since they first opened, and let me tell you - this is a top notch experience. Not only will you get the best haircut in town, you’ll also feel welcomed and cared for. They’ve created a community, a family, that I feel a part of and excited to support. I look forward to booking every appointment. Don’t take my word for it, come in and let them show you for yourself.

I love Handle Barbershop. The shop has a sick downtown vibe. The music is on point. I was greeted as soon as I walked in and offered a free beverage just to help me relax. The first thing my girl said when I got home was “That’s the best haircut you’ve ever had.” Thanks Cody! Recommend scheduling an appointment rather than walking in. Easily done via their website. Easily the best cuts in Little Rock.

Great service, awesome vibe. Sadly, the cut wasnt what I was asking for. Luckily, I own a lot of hats. Would highly recommend if you need a trim or buzzer work.

Well stars do align. My wife suggested this shop. I was somewhat familiar with it but once i finally booked the appointment and showed up I was amazed. Great service. A bunch of guys that take pride in their craft. Shaves, haircuts, beard trims, you cant go wrong. This is nothing like the turn over places you have been in the past... skip sports clips, etc you will really like this place... i have only been once but will go again. My barber was Jacob and he did great job!

Highly recommend Handle! You cant go wrong with any of the guys there. Its basically like hanging out with your buddies in a cool atmosphere with a downtown vibe and cool music. But these friends know how to cut hair, really well! The warm towels after a straight edge shave is awesome. Everyone is so laid back and they take their time to do it right. I wanted to change up my hair slightly and Cody listened and created the outcome I was hoping for. I just put my trust in him and he succeeded!

Great spot. Professional, clean, on time, and best cut every time. I use Ray but have plenty of friends that use other barbers there and theyre all legit.

I cant begin to tell you how pleased i am with Handle Barbershop! Cody gave me my first beard trim and also got haircut. From the second i walked in everyone was friendly and very professional. Great experience from start to finish, worth the four hour round trip!! Cody thanks so much!! I will look no further for beard care or haircuts. Highly recommend!!!

Looking for a new barber? Want to change up your style? Looking for tips and great products to take care of your hair and skin? Want to enjoy getting a hair cut? Handle Barbershop is your best move. This shop hands out fresh, clean, crisp cuts all day long! From clean fades, to trims, to razor shaves they can do it all. Excellent location downtown. Best barbers around, you can not beat Handle Barbershop! You will not walk away unsatisfied.

Awesome place. Great straight-razor shave and excellent haircut. Would highly recommend to anyone whos looking for an old style barber shop with a new, hip flare.

Handle has been setting an industry standard in the state since they have been open. I have had the privilege to cut hair alongside these guys and they are all professional craftsmen at what they do. Cody has taken care of me and does an outstanding technical job along with giving an overall great service. I look forward to walking in and paying them a visit any time I am in Little Rock.

Jacob is the man! Stayed in Little Rock for the summer and came upon handle barbershop. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Could easily say this is the best barbershop in Arkansas. They can give you any cut you need. Considering flying back here just for haircuts!

So glad that I made the decision to switch to the Handle Barbershop! I chose Cody when I first went and have definitely found a long term barber relationship!! Cody is amazing at what he does and each hair cut he does just proves that! I was fortunate enough to sit with him while he was training a barber and was just amazed at the amount of information that I heard that it takes to truly give a precision hair cut ! A+++++++ all day long!

These guys are top notch. Great environment, great conversation, and the easily the best haircut in town. If that wasn’t enough, they will even make a beer run for you while you’re sitting in the chair. Elite level service. #MambaMentality

Best barbershop ever. I am very well taken care of when I go there, and they all a very good at what they do. its an incredibly classy establishment. pay them a visit!

From the time I opened the door to when I walked out I was pleased with my experience. Cody did an excellent job on my hair. Total attention to detail. No more chop shops. Precision Haircut, hot towel neck shave, peppermint cold towel to feel refreshed, and hair styled for the rest of my day. Will return as long as the doors are open.

Handle offers the total barbershop experience. The atmosphere is comfortable and familiar, yet the aesthetic is new and luxurious. A haircut, beard trim, and shave here is nothing less than professional, and you will leave feeling confident in your look. All of the barbers are creative and well trained; none of them are debutantes who lucked into a great placement. They live by their craft, and the craftsmanship they provide sets them apart from the chains and barbershops of yesteryear.

I love this place! I stumbled upon it randomly and was able to walk in and get an awesome hair cut. Super laid back and welcoming atmosphere. The guys are committed to doing good work. Cannot recommend enough. Downtown Little Rock needed a place like Handle’s.

Started coming here mid-May and have been 3x in total, but my man Austin kills it each and every time. I always trust the man with my hair and I will only allow him to work on it. The vibe of the place is super welcoming, and makes you want to come in early just to chill with everyone. Definitely recommend it for anyone who is in town on a trip looking for a quick cut, or for a local looking to try something new and fresh. Will not regret it.

This isnt your average barbershop with average haircuts. These guys are top notch barbers that really take pride in their craft. Treat yourself to a haircut and straight razor shave and I bet youll find yourself there when its time for another cut. The shop is in a great location and theyve done a good job dressing it up. They welcome walk-ins, but these guys stay busy so its best to make an appointment.

I love this place. It has that classic barbershop feel and the barbers are there to truly give you the best experience.

I’ve been going to Cody for a long time now. Handle barbershop is by far the best barber shop I’ve ever been to. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a place to be a regular. The shop has a great atmosphere and they go out of their way to make you fee welcome and relaxed. All of the barbers are first class and I would trust any of them with my haircut.

This barbershop is amazing. Brings the old style feel with fresh cuts. Jacob knew exactly what I wanted with out me doing much explaining. They will not let you leave looking a mess. I always feel great leaving this shop!

I went once and it immediately became my main shop. I sit with Austin primarily and have never gotten a better cut anywhere else in central AR. The shop has a really chill atmosphere and everyone is friendly and professional. You won’t regret trying it!

Handlebar never disappoints and Jacob did great work on my head providing me a new style while providing recommends on how to maintain and style. Ill be back soon!

Jacob did my haircut. Absolutely amazing! It makes me wish we had a barbershop like this in OKC. All the guys are super chill. Good conversations. I got exactly what I was wanting. I am definitely going to recommend this place to my buddies visiting Little Rock.

The service is 5 star all the way. You walk in to a welcoming atmosphere. Cody did a top notch job with my beard and haircut. An ideal barbershop experience!

The shop is fairly new to downtown Little Rock, but it’s a great central location is perfect just about anyone in a 30 mile radius to come and get an amazing cut from any of these great barbers. I personally see Austin Shelton 2 times a month and it’s a perfect experience on top of a great cut, beard trim, and razor shave. The shop is clean, and is so comfortable being in. I promise you can’t go wrong setting up an appointment here. Business men, working men, or any one out there kids included.

My friend booked me an appointment here to show me how “great” it was compared to where I’d been going...in his opinion. I was really looking forward to it actually, the concept is great and the guy’s are all personable (except the one I got, but I’ll get to that) the vibes are good overall and I might try it again however, I will definitely NOT allow the guy I had last time to do my hair ever again! His demeanor was smug and condescending, he didn’t want to do what I asked, so I had to settle for a haircut that’s not what I wanted. Besides that he kept bashing these people he used to work with, but to be honest I feel like it was his loss their gain, Just terrible experience all the way around, and his haircut was trash. If you come here just avoid Jacob he’s got issues.

I love this place. Love the guys. Love the vibe. Love the cuts. Take care of yourself and get your hair cut here.

Cody Mayes is the man! I never got regular haircuts until I started going here. Amazing place!

Easily the best barbershop experience I’ve had. It’s easy to tell how much thought these guys put into creating an amazing atmosphere. All of the barbers are definitely capable of providing a cut that you would be proud of.

Great location and great service! Very easy/convenient to make appointments. Very skilled barbers here - everything from a simple trim to to crisp fade. Book with Ray for the best fades in town!

Awesome atmosphere and Vibes! These guys know what there doing and the mind blowing work is out of this world. The straight edge razor shave & unique hair style that fits you is what they give me time and time again! I would definitely recommend this shop, you wont be disappointed...

Amazing place! Ive gone here to get my beard trimmed and left very pleased with my look. Will definitely return, I just need to remember to bring cash!

Handle offers the best experience and quality in mens barbering in AR by far. Theyve put so much thought into every detail-- and it shows. Cody and all of the barbers are super talented, and Id trust them with any of the dudes in my life!

Cody is by far the best barber and has the best personality that I have ever had in my life. The handlebar barber shop is by far the nicest and cleanest place that I have been in.

Great environment and excellent experience

Awesome location and atmosphere. Very reasonablely priced for what you get.

Great service and awesome people, Cody does great work. Had a few bad hair cuts from other places that made me want to wear a hat all the time, but Cody has completely changed my look and now I have a standing appointment every 2 weeks. I will never go to another barber. Thanks Cody and all the guys at Handle for finally giving us a good barber shop in Little Rock!

Have been looking for a barber shop for about 6 months now that had that manly feel to it. Was driving down Main street today and found this place. I walked in and was met with a sweet 4 legged friend at the door. I was a little sceptical as it was a new place for me. I was not disappointed. Austin got me in his chair right away and cut my hair just like I have been needing. He took his time and made sure everything was even and nice. I have found my new barber. Thank you guys for making me feel so welcome. I look forward to my next visit. Austin you rock man.

If you’re looking for TRUE barbers these are the guys. Hands down the best cuts in town. Damn can Ray fade I left looking fresh and confident as a man should after a hair cut.

Cody has been my barber for years, so I already knew the cut was gonna be on point. From the many artistic touches (the custom barber chairs are incredible) to the ambiance of the shop, the whole place is just downright impressive. Mix that with the downtown setting and you have the best barbershop experience in Little Rock, hands down!

Best haircut Ive ever had by far. Id give more stars if I could. Coco is a beast with clippers. Ill definitely be back. I drove 45 minutes to get there and was skeptical at first, but to be honest Id drive 2 hours to sit in a chair at this shop. You wont find another barber shop on this level around here especially for the price!!!

Excellent Barbershop!Staff is experienced, pleasant and pay great attention to detail. The shop itself has a chill vibe with very nice views from the inside. Great place to relax while you get your haircut.

Really cool location and set up. This is the barbershop Little Rock has been missing. I got a cut, beard trim, and shave from Pachi and it was wonderful. Im fairly confident I would have been happy with the result from any of the barbers there. Go check them out, you wont be disappointed.

This place is fantastic. Great prices for even better cuts. Great atmosphere in a great location. Only place I’m getting a hair cut from now on.

My name is Mo went today for a pixie with Jacob. Absolutely the best I don’t have to overly explain myself to get what I want how I want it. I’ve had Cody cut my hair love it love at first scissor cut (a lot done without much explaining he knows what he’s doing) but I made the mistake to get it “trimmed” by someone else at another shop worst mistake but Jacob saved me and my interview today. I won’t ever betrayed them I felt bad for cheating. The vibes, the no JUDGE zone the most liberating feeling in the world being here and getting a cut without being judge because I’m a chick wanting to rock a pixie or a short style. Love this place and YES chicks are allowed here 💇🏻‍♀️🥳.

Hands down best place to go in Little Rock for a men’s hair cut. Jacob did an amazing job. Will be back.

Just a fantastic barbershop all the way around! Cool atmosphere and high-quality, unique products for sale. I can always rely on Cody for an incredible haircut and some helpful tips for keeping my hair styled and looking great in between visits. I highly, highly recommend you pay Handle and Cody a visit!

Love this place. Cody has been cutting my hair for awhile now, and I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Clean, and professional. Nothing to complain about!

I always go to a barber shop to get my haircut for the atmosphere and quality of the cut but usually my standards are low as long as it’s a neat cut and short enough. This place specifically Austin who cut my hair went above and beyond and made me actually look at my cut and genuinely appreciate the effort he put into it. I haven’t had a cut that made me double take in the mirror in a long time. Repeat customer for sure!

Super-cool new “old school” barbershop! Cody did an excellent job cutting my sons hair to his specifications. Awesome experience! Will definitely be visiting again soon!

Very happy with the cut and overall experience. Jason was laid-back, friendly, and professional. I normally hate getting my hair cut but thoroughly enjoyed the experience here. Ill be back.

Best barbershop in Central Arkansas. If it’s a clean fade you’re after, just ask for my man Ray. However, this is the first barbershop I’ve been in that I can honestly say each of the four barbers employed there are highly skilled and I’ve seen them giving out great haircuts first hand.

One visit and you will be hooked. Absolute amazing atmosphere, very skilled barbers and very friendly staff. Go see my boy Austin for the best cut youve ever had

Without a doubt the best barbershop and barbers in Arkansas! Great location and atmosphere. It’s an experience, not just a haircut. I’m so thankful I’m booked weekly for life, Cody is the best!

First time I had Alain. Cut and styled my hair the way I showed him and I’m pretty particular about my hair. Really quiet though.Edit: About a few months later...went in a second time because I had a generally good experience the first time. Weird vibes walking in. Just sorta stared at me like they didn’t really want me there. Sat down, everyone was just really quiet, including my barber. Really awkward. After I paid, on my way out, everyone just stared at me like I wasn’t welcome there. Like I walked right past one of the barbers, and he just stared at me like I was some weirdo. Probably won’t come back again.

Great place. Complimentary beer and great hair cuts. Had to travel for an interview and someone opened early to see me when I called ahead. 10/10 will go again

Literally the best barber experience Ive ever had, got the straight razor beard trim. Jacob shapped my beard just how I wanted it. The atmosphere of the barbershop is second to non, and the prices are reasonable. I will be recommending this place to all my friends.

I have nothing but GREAT things to say about Handle Barbershop and these guys. The shop has a vibe that we have been missing in LR and for me, its way more than a place to just go for a haircut or shave. The atmosphere is chill, relaxed and welcoming; you feel like youre just hanging out with old buddies. Friendly, professional and chill guys that love to do what they do (and do it well) and you cant beat that anywhere.I started going to Cody a little before the shop opened and at this point, I dont even have to look when hes done. The Dude knows what hes doing.Def go check it out, you WILL NOT be disappointed.

I’ve been seeing Cody for several years now and can’t explain how awesome Handle Barbershop is not only for the customers but for the city of Little Rock. It’s hard to put into words a true barbershop experience, so go experience it for yourself. You won’t be disappointed. -Kovak

Best barber shop, hands down, in central Arkansas. Their attention to detail is second to none. Cody is meticulous each and every cut. Highly recommend checking them out.
