Ive gone to a number of barber shops in my life- I got to say this is at the top of my list.This is more expensive than your typical roll-the-dice on what you end up with chain barber shop. But as they say, you get what you pay forThe place was clean and a stylish mix of old school and hip. I was welcomed as soon as I stepped in. I decided to go all out on my first visit, haircut, premium beard trim, and even ear and nose waxing (the waxing wasnt painful, but not something I would do on most visits)I was lucky to get Zack (though I am pretty sure the other barbers would have been wonderful as well). He did a consult on what I wanted and made a few suggestions I agreed to without question.He took his time with the cut and paid attention to detail resulting in one of my better haircuts. Then he trimmed my goatee and mustache.Then we got to the good part- the shave- wet towels and straight razor. There is nothing better than this kind of shaving experience and if youve not tried it you are missing out.As I said the ear and nose waxing wasnt as exciting as the rest, but the rest was worth it.Bottom line, I found my new barber.
Can’t say enough good things about this place. Have been a longtime customer at another barbershop in town and thought I would never leave there. When this place opened on the corner of our street though, I decided to give it a try. I am beyond glad that I did. Zach, Sarah, Ryan and the crew are incredible. I know whichever barber I go to, I am going to get a great haircut. They are super talented barbers, the shop is incredibly clean and they’re always on time. Love supporting another locally owned business and they definitely have a customer for life.
Always get a haircut here. Great reservations system. Clean shop and courteous staff
Today was the first time since I moved to Louisville several years ago that Id gone somewhere else other than Great Clips for a haircut. I made an appointment online earlier this week, and they sent me a few reminders which was helpful. Sarah was my stylist and she did an amazing job! My hair can be stubborn and difficult to work with, but she skillfully and patiently cut my hair exactly the way I had envisioned it. It was helpful to have her talk me through each step and explain what she was doing. Sarah also offered suggestions on how I could style my hair along with what products might work best.The price might appear surprising to some who are just used to going to a chain barber shop like myself, but I think it is very fair for the convenience, neat atmosphere, and excellent service you receive (it includes a neck shave as well!).Im glad I visited this location today because I left with the best haircut Ive ever had!
Great environment. Professional but relaxed. Friendly staff all around. My stylist, Zach, was very detail oriented, skilled, accommodating, friendly and communicative. Ill definitely be scheduling with them again. Thank you Handsome Fellows!
Always a great time visiting the St. Matthews shop and getting a super solid haircut and beard trim from Zach! Great atmosphere and all very friendly barbers.
I have been looking sometime for a barbershop in Louisville, so when Handsome Fellows popped up close to home on Frankfort, I had to try it.Booking process was super easy online. I chose Zach, but honestly everyone looked pretty legit. I cross referenced my decision w/ Instagram so I knew he could do a solid cut.When I arrived Zach and I think Sarah (not sure if right name?) were there and very nice / conversational, which made it easy to settle in.Zach killed it - great attention to detail and knew pretty much exactly how I wanted my haircut even though it was my first time. Would recommend him to anyone.Value is there, too. Neat store and great products to top it off.Ryan (owner) seems to be a great dude, too.5 stars, thanks!
6 Stars! Best barbershop in town.These guys are professional, skilled, and humble. Shop’s always clean, atmosphere’s great.I’d even feel great taking my kids here!
After several years at another local barbershop I decided to try out the new St. Matthews location. Ryan has consistently provided top notch and consistent service both with my haircut and beard trim. I’ve already gone ahead and scheduled out my cuts for the year with him, which is another advantage over my previous place, the ability to schedule and reserve a time. Definitely recommend!
Been to both locations, and they are great! Clean spaces and professional barbers who make the experience that much better! They do a tremendous job and would highly recommend giving them a try!
Awesome shop! My barber was personable, professional and skilled. I dont have the easiest hair to cut/style and he knocked it out of the park. Recommend!
My son has despised getting his having his hair cut his entire life. We’ve tried countless barbers/stylists/salons, most resulting in tantrums and tears. He wanted to try Handsome Fellows Frankfort Ave location for the “cool” look of the shop. He was booked with Zach. When he got home he was so excited about his cut and how “chill” Zach was. He had his 2nd cut with Zach this week and was equally thrilled with the results. I’m convinced his self-esteem has gone up. Highly recommend!!
Fantastic shop, very clean & modern and the staff is always professional. Book with Sarah, she is truly a master of her craft!
Impressed! Chris did a fine job, he is very attentive and a great guy to talk to. Pros: flexible hours that fit my schedule, prices are reasonable considering the high quality haircut I received. I will for sure go back.
I have been a handsome fellows client since they started on 2016. I went to their new St Matthews location on day one and I was nothing less than blown away. It was so clean, comfortable, updated, and had so much natural light. The atmosphere was great! The service was impeccable and joyful just like the Middletown location. I would not recommend going to any barber anywhere else! If you are anywhere near the St Matthews area you are doing yourself a disservice if you don’t frequent this barber.
Ive been seeing Ryan (the owner) at Handsome Fellows for haircuts from its inception to its newest location. Ryan takes pride in his craft and cares about his customers AND his fellow barbers. It definitely shows b/c everyone is always polite, talkative, and happy. Within the last year I started bringing my son (5 yrs. old) in for his haircuts and I was nervous he would be shy/apprehensive. Ryan made him feel comfortable and connected with him on his level from the jump. Great place for a father/son session!
Great group of professionals! Highly recommend. Zach has been hooking me up with fresh fades for a couple months now and Chris gave my son a mullet Hulk Hogan would be jealous of! Go check them out!
Top notch service as always. Highly recommend this shop. Erics the man.
Best Barber Shop in Town! Hands down. Ryan and team do an excellent job listening to what you want and executing it to perfection.
I’ve been going to Ryan at Handsome fellows for a few years now and I just had the opportunity to visit the brand new St. Matthews location. Like always a great haircut for a great price. The new location is very conveniently located with a friendly atmosphere. I highly recommend this place!
Great Guys . Professional service, Zack hooked me up with a fresh cut. Shortest my hair has even been.loving it!!!
I’m a transplant from Louisiana. It’s hard moving to a new place and finding “your guy”.Chris is definitely “it”. Attention to detail, easy to work with, and consistent.Louisville is my new home now and Chris is my guy. I trust him and his work.Now, I just need to find a groomer for my dogs😜
Eric did the best beard trim I ever had and a top notch hair cut. Would recommend them to anyone.
They gave me a nice clean cut they were really nice and they even gave me neck tickles
I scheduled a cut at the new location...not realizing it was opening day. Really proud of these guys, it is a really solid shop with a good team. Good location, interesting space. I am sure it will be busy.Ryan has been cutting my hair for three years. He keeps an old guy looking sharp.
You need to book with Zach. He really cares about the quality of his work, has a very customer focused mentality and is fun to talk to.
Handsome Fellows is fast, friendly and very professional. Sarah brings a little extra joy to the shop. Thanks for keeping my haircut and facial trim fresh.
Really love the clean aesthetic of this place. All the barbers there are very nice and professional. Highly recommend.
My favorite barber just moved to this shop and its a great place. Its a very clean and professional environment with a good group of barbers. My barber is Zach Brutscher and would recommend him to anyone looking for good conversation while getting a clean cut.
One of the best barbershops i’ve ever been to here in louisville. amazing atmosphere with excellent employees. I had the opportunity to have zach cut my hair & he did an excellent job, did everything I asked & I had a great time. I will be back for more haircuts. very impressed with the prices & how clean the shop was. excellent music as well!! 10/10 & would recommend to people of all ages.
