This guy gives the best hair cuts in town, and he gives investment advice π, he also had a shop downtown called taste of Jerusalem, great family and even better haircuts!
Excellent work. The owner is a great guy! I highly recommend it. My boys are very satisfied with their new cuts.
Great place! Ive had my beard trimmed here several times now and been more than happy with the results each time. Farouk is fast, friendly and professional. Even when hes busy, you rarely have to wait long at all and he makes you feel like hes been waiting to see you even if it was your first time. Worth checking out. *Id use GPS till youre familiar with where its at.
Cleanest cut in the panhandle. Farouk is the man.
Got me in immediately for a walk in for a great cut.
Thats my barber! Farouk is the man!
Farouk gave my boyfriend my favorite haircut heβs gotten in a long time. It was very fast and clean. He recommended a nice style that worked well with his hair. He also put a coconut product in his hair that weβre going back to purchase. 10/10 recommend.
Farouk is an awesome guy! And very good with kids. Plus hes the cheapest in town! However That does come at a disadvantage Because sometimes you get what you pay for. Hes known for being the fastest barber. While that may be so its not the best idea when you have guys like me with *african hair texture*. He lacks attention to detail. My lines are always crooked, he goes against the grain of my wave patterns and gives patchy taper fades. I would not recommend him to anyone ethnic hair. However hes an expert with fine hair texture. Probably best if you are a Military guy.
Efficient, sassy, and truly a pro at what he does. His speed and unorthodox technique marks him as a professional at his craft. Cool guy. Hes out here making dudes look good in 10-15 minutes.
BEST BARBER SHOP IN THE CITY.NO ONE CUTS LIKE FAROUK!!
Farouk does really good beard work, hes a pro with a straight razor. He shows professionalism and hes a cool dude too. I highly recommend you check him out, nuff said!
Farouk is fast, personable and professional you can trust that he knows what looks good and how to give a quality haircut. Highly recommend. He is the best I have seen anywhere.
Amazing barber with a great personality who knows exactly what heβs doing. He gave my brother the best cut and fade heβs ever had, and did it all in less than 10 minutes. My brother swears he will never go anywhere else. If you need a quick, good priced cut, definitely go see Farouk!!
Farouks is awesome....mu son has never looked better! Farouk gives the best hair cut. He is always super nice and very friendly!! My son will never go to another shop!! The best hands down!!
By far THE BEST military haircut my husband has never gotten. We will definitely be coming back our entire time here!!! He genuinely cares about his clients and even said, just because youre in the military, it doesnt mean you have to have a bad haircut.
He has been in business for several years. His hair cuts a good. He seems to be in a hurry anymore. My last hair cut I thought I was on a marry-go-round. He cut my hair in like 10 minutes and dry shaved a block cut. I like him but will probably not return. 18.00 a cut and tip just know he can do better.
Great clean cut with good conversation. Timely cut as well. I recommend.
Wow, just wow. Amazing barber. Crazy fast cuts and good prices. Today I told him to βjust get me rightβ and he made my hair look the best itβs been in 4 years. Absolutely recommend this barber shop.
This place is great. If you need a quality haircut quick. This is the place to go ! They will also trim and line beards. It does get packed. He has a lot of repeat customers. But even with that I was still out in under 30 minutes.
A clean barber and very respectful however very expensive and he was more concern to finish quickly than satisfying his customer, my request was simple I could of done it at home and I expected him to be professional and expert on what he offers instead when I asked him to fix my cut he ignored me and called the next customer. As a result, I went home and did it myself.Rule of thumb, if you run a business your customer is always right and you have to offer at least what he expected from you.In his case, he was focusing on finishing the maximum number of customers than satisfying them.
Fast and efficient
Farouk has developed a thriving shop that appeals to a variety of people. His cuts are top quality for a competitive price. Farouk is a class act and handles his business accordingly. Best in town.
Not our normal Barber, but he did an AMAZING job. Best haircut he has had in a very long time. Place was clean, friendly & price was reasonable for a great haircut.
Fast and reliable. Even with 2-3 customers ahead of me, I find myself getting in and out in well under half an hour. But more importantly, the cuts have been consistent and tight each time. Unlike fades Ive gotten elsewhere, Farouks grow out evenly and stay clean even with a few weeks of growth. Highly recommend this barbershop!
Best haircut around, the wait is worth the service and attention to detail.
A true professional! From the moment I stepped in the door until I left it was a positive experience. You can tell the man has a passion for cutting hair. I told him to cut the side and leave the top and he politely asked to let him cut the top because it was uneven. It was obvious that he cared that I received a great hair cut. The other reviews are correct. He knows how to fade and cut military hair. If that isnt enough to convince you, he also has some great stories and you will wish that your haircut took longer. Skilled, fast, polite, and entertaining. Seriously one of the top 3 haircuts I have ever received.
One of the best people and barbers around. Hes great with kids and even if the shop is full the wait is not long. I highly recommend him even if you in town for just a short while.
Wow now one of my top two places to get a fresh haircut. Being a Marine I loved his work he did. Honestly I got a medium razor fade not only did he do a spectacular job but the cream he used was warm. Amazing fade by far, not many people could do a razor fade and was highly impressed. I live in texas but here for a job and will definitely come back if I get the chance.
Farouk is the best barber Ive ever encountered. Not only In Pensacola but within the United States. Regardless of the fact you spend money, hes doing you a favour.
Were just in Pcola for the week, traveling from NC. I was way overdue for a haircut so I asked a friend for a good barber shop not too far from where were staying. He immediately said Farouks. So I got online and checked reviews. I found almost all 5-star reviews but there were a few bad ones, mostly about Farouk working too fast. I decided to give him a shot anyway. I call BS on those bad reviews. Farouk had never seen me before but in about 10 minutes I had a PERFECT cut. Thanks Farouk!
6/03/18 - Really great experience, excellent haircut. Was initially a little concerned/impressed with how fast he finished the cut, but after a look in the mirror I couldnβt have been happier (no missed patches or lines and exactly what I asked for). Itβs cash only and $17 for a cut.
His description of what his skill set is and how fast and good his is at his job is unquestionable. Thats why hes always busy and works days other barber shops are closed. If you havent had the chance to get your hair cut or beard shaved by a master you wont be disappointed.
Terrible hair cut. Asked for a 1/2β trim on top. The barber gave me a 2 inch trim and my mid fade sucks. Got a line going all the way around my head. Definitely do not recommend. Plus the prices are too high
Awesome haircut and great service, he was easy to work with
I showed up a few minutes after closing and he unlocked the door and gave me a haircut, cant say any other place would do that. I got a med-low because Im in the military and he knows military haircuts so he got to it right away. The haircut was done in 10 minutes and my wife says its probably my best haircut yet. He also fixed what the previous barber did to my hair. I live in Milton so this place is far, and I plan to make the drive anyway.
Gives you a better haircut in 10 minutes than most barbers can manage in an hour. He knows exactly what you want and will give you a quality cut every time.For you Navy folk, this where you can get a military reg haircut without looking like youre fresh out of boot. Ask for the Navy Special
This man was on point ππ»! He is quick and I dont mean quick as in rushed...Quick as in Efficient. Came out looking so clean and fresh after a very short wait. I will be back and recommend him to many others.
Great for quick and excellent cutting. Family friendly
Great cut and open on Easter. Fast and know what there doing cant beat it. Clean environment as well.
Best barber Ive been to. Quick. Does a great job. Fantastic straight razor shave too. Very nice clean shop.
Very friendly and fast hair cut I want go anywhere else
Very busy place but they are very quick and friendly. Walk in are welcome
I used to take my husband (disabled veteran)to Farouks once a month for a haircut and shave,because it always makes him happy,and since Farouks does a great JOB .recently things been really tight, money wise,since I lost my job I have been cutting on expenses,and cutting my husband hair my self(not so good)!!,so we have not been to Farouks for three months,Farouks ask a mutual friend about my husband and that he have not seen him for awhile,the friend told him whats going on,so he ask for our phone number and called me,when I told him the story,He offered to cut and shave my husband once a month at no charge!!i never wrote a review in my life before,and it took me an hour to figure this thing out,but I just wanted to show my appreciation and point out a good man and a business owner!!THANKS FAROUK you are a GOOD MAN,GOOD BLESS
Farouk has an incredible attention to detail, all while providing a fun and laid back conversation. If youβre looking for a long-term barber choice, look no further.
Fast and great haircut and he was amazing with the kids. The kids now want to go back for their next haircut. They will have their jokes ready next time. Definitely worth your time if you are looking for a barber.
Farouk does a great job and in a very short amount of time. You can walk in and out in less than 10min if there isnt a line. I would highly recommend this barbershop!
What a fantastic haircut! In n out super fast and he does a great job. I was wondering what it was you put in my hair and where I can get some. Thanks Farouk!
Good atmosphere, the man knows what hes about, definitely sees plenty of military guys... caters your cut to your branch. Basically knows what youre looking for as soon as you sit in the chair. Definitely recommend giving him a try.
Took my son earlier today and this guy did an amazing job. Even though my son lost patience from waiting, this guy made his wait worth it!! We will definitely return for cuts in the future!!
Farouk does an outstanding job when he cuts hair. He is also very friendly with everybody that comes to his shop. Would definitely go to him whenever my boys need to have their hair cuts.
Hands down the best barbershop in town. The attention to detail is impeccable. Comparable rates with superior quality. Highly recommend.
Excellent service, quick and done right. Ive been returning to Farouk for haircuts ever since finding him a year or two ago. Would highly recommend for professional and stylish haircuts.
I want to comment on this barber shop. Like Omar, I do not live in Pensacola. Actually I live in Dallas Tx area. I received a hair cut from here one year ago and I am going back a year later when I come in town this upcoming Sunday, Oct 11. The haircut was awesome.I decided to get a trim a month ago so I could get a hair cut from him again. I recommend it highly. Actually, last year was the first time I was there and they would not take a card for payment. He told me where an ATM was and I left without paying--trusting young man--and returned and paid for my haircut.
Great service, great haircut, reasonable prices, clean facility, and heβs impressively quick!
Best haircut Ive had in years. Competitive prices in a clean and friendly environment for a quality cut. Best barbershop in town.
Place was chill, the owner Farouk was a cool guy and I just let him do his thing and got a great haircut. Definitely will be back.
Took my special needs 3 yo to get a hair cut as well as my husband. I cannot tell you how exceptional Farouk was with my son. Usually to be honest after getting his hair cut we have to take him to the park to calm him down. This time just the lollypop worked! So impressed with the soothing way he talked to my child. Hands down would recommend this man. The shop is neat and very stylish. Husband even liked his cut!
Great place! He always gives recommendations based on hair structure and condition of the person in the chair. A+++++
Best Barber In Town, always a good experience. This man works very hard.
He does a great job, Everytime! I was thinking of buzzing it off, but I let him do his thing and was like...maybe I can keep it styled after haha. Great price too!
Farouk gives great haircuts. He certainly knows how to render straight razor head shaves as he has done for me. I am happy with the way he skillfully maneuvers the straight razor smoothly and with confident ease. The shop is clean, spacious, and uncluttered. I will go back to get my razor head shave with Farouk.
If you want the only style he can do its a great place but if you want something different there are better places in town.
Been a few times now and love being able to get in and out. Does a great job.
Just came back from there, and I was VERY impressed. Im rather picky when it comes to a haircut, mostly because it can take so long to recover from a bad cut, but I will stop by and see Farouk again. Good price, and great service.
Farouk is a wizard with the clippers, really did an excellent job with my hair, and his prices cant be beat. Shop is clean and still looks brand new. Definitely the best barber Ive been to in Pensacola.
Its a bit terrifying how fast this guy cuts hair, yet he does it flawlessly.
Went here for the first time today and received the best haircut Ive had in a LONGG time. Definitely a great man who knows what hes doing. And will be going to him from now on.
Hands down the best place Ive ever been to get a quick and spot on cut, every time I go its the same cut on point with no slack...absolutely best barber in Pcola. the only downfall is that I cant recommend my friends because hes already super busy (completely kidding) farouk knows all his continuing customers and really focuses on getting them in and out fast, a slow barber is a nervous barber and no one wants that. Thanks brother keep up the great work!!
Perfect fade! You can tell when someones is good at what they do. This guy is good and a real barbershop. Great conversation also.
Farouk is a hair master. Nobody has time to sit around for an hour-long haircut - youll be in and out of his shop in less time than that when the line is out the door! Not to mention, less than half the price ($17 for as long as I can remember) and perfect cut every time.
Does a rushed job, and lacks attention to detail. Uses a razor for touch-ups, which results in awkward ingrown hairs. Prefers to buzz your head and not bother with scissors.
Farook always does a great job. In and out fast with an amazing cut or shave. This is the guy to go to in Pensacola.
I donβt know why I used to go somewhere else. Farouk will give you a great, fresh clean cut in less than 10 mins. Only takes cash.
Literally the only guy im going to from now on. I hate trimming my beard on my own and he does it with precision. My beard was butchered by another barber and Farouk fixed it perfectly. Service is professional and friendly. Id been to him once before and still remembered me. Definitely will be recommending him to friends.
It was okay. Cuts hair too fast. Charges 15-17 but basically 20 after the tip is expected. By no means worst experience but not the best either.
First time customer, never coming back. Told him to do a one on the sides and shape up and take a little off the top. He takes the sides up super high, past the crown of my head and the natural part, completely cuts out the swirl in the back of my head, and shaved off my widows peak, all without saying a word or asking me. Left the top full length with a super abrupt transition from 1/2 long hair to 2. Also he straight razor shaved the back of my neck and the rest of the edges completely dry, no shaving cream. My neck was on fire. Had to go to a different shop the next day to get it fixed, but I have some regrowing to do before it looks anything like a normal haircut.
Best barber in Pensacola. Enough said
Great haircuts in a timely manner.Friendly service.
Simple as this... Best barber in town period, puts others to shame not only with a perfect cut, but also very clean organized, and your in and out in no time. You will NOT find a better barber.
I have gone to Farouk a couple of times now and he is the best barber I have ever had! I just moved down to Florida and was searching google for a good barber and man, am I glad I found Farouk. He is professional, does a great job and his prices are perfect. Dont go anywhere else.
He did a great job not only cutting my four year old sons hair, but he was really good at making him comfortable. Ill definitely be back.
I have lived in pensacola all my life and must say that Farouk is the best barber in town!!! Still uses a straight blade, and you are in and out super fast. I have tried everywhere else. He is by far the best.
Best barber in town
Not only is Farouk a talented and precise barber he is also a great person. Unfortunately another barber butchered my hard part during a cut. I went to Farouk and in 5 min he gave me a clean and great looking hair cut fixing what I thought was unfixable. He even offered to clean the line up further after a week at no charge. Glad I went to him and heβs earned my business for life. I highly recommend you check him out!
Concur with everyone here. I like a very low fade to be in regs, but the rest to look like a normal civilian cut. Did a great job, professionally and quickly! Straight edge too!
I wouldnt mind q quick haircut as long as it looks good, but this is not the case. Quick, expensive bad haircut.
Amazing fade. Best shop in town, hands down.
Great guy. Knows how to cut difficult hair and make it look good.
Best barber I ever been to. I give him a 33% tip everytime I go because his haircuts are just a steal
Excellent haircuts in less than half the time of other quality barbers. Definitely worth the price.
Great!!! Quick witch is good cause Im usually a busy person and Farouk does an awesome job Id highly recommend
Ive been going to Farouk for almost 2 years now. Consistently a great haircut. Highly recommend!
Farouk was quick, professional, and very personable! Well definitely return.
I have been going to Farouks for over 2 years. I first found him solely because he was the only shop open on a sunday. I asked for the buzz cut I would usually get at any other barber and Farouk said let us try something different. He made my hair look better than it ever has before. The rest was history and I ALWAYS get compliments in public from strangers on how good my hair and beard looks. It even changed one of my old bosses perceptions on the professionalism of beards and now he too goes to farouk to get his beard egded up! I dont trust anyone else in town!!
Great cut, great price, straight blade neck shave. But without lube. Be warned!
Quick, high quality haircut. ($18)
Hands down the best in Pensacola. If you are a flight student, go here.
If youre a black man, this is not the place for you. Well, unless youre just shaving everything off. Probably a good place for military men, which I have seen raving in the comments. My husband spent $20 getting his haircut and came back and just wanted to shave it all off. He has textured/curly hair and keeps it in a short mohawk/faux hawk that fades as it goes back and has the sides shaved. It was about an inch and a half long on top when he went in. The man didnt have a pick in his barbershop, which is weird. The man also didnt fade his hair in the back, like he always has done. It was the same length all the way back, which he just didnt want.
Ive been going to Farouk for a little over a year now, I think...he is a no nonsense barber. Hell get you in and out of there with a shave and a haircut in 15 minutes if there isnt already a wait. The skill that this man has would take most barbers 30+ minutes to even come close to matching! Other barbers in the area have cut my hair, all take longer, most dont know how to use a straight razor or offer a good beard line up, some are even old and racist...I dont have time for any of that.Farouk is very respectful; someone most people could learn a thing or two from if they would open their ears instead of their mouths. He talks when he has something to say and isnt trying to get a shop full of military men through so know when to let him do his thing. Be respectful and hell show you even more respect in return.Also, make sure you tip this man, hes worth every cent.
