I get a fairly stereotypical haircut, long/ combover/ back on top with a shorter buzz on the side. The conversation was pleasant and the atmosphere was nice. The haircut itself was average at best, and thats being generous. It was poorly blended and imprecise. On top of that, the prices were 2x that of barbershops in Philly that have given me a much better cut. I am very low maintenance, have never been dissatisfied with a professional haircut, and again get probably the most stereotypical, common haircut.Hairdresser was also quite rude to his younger assistant, but she did laugh along with it and did not seem to mind, so not knowing their relationship I will not judge harshly on that front.The haircut sucked and was expensive. I will not be returning.

I recently started going to Denim (have been in for 4 haircuts) and have been absolutely blown away not only at the fantastic customer service but the quality of the haircut I’ve received. Denim will be the only place that I go to for all my future hair needs. If you are skeptical about going to Denim you can rest assured that you are in good hands and may proceed with confidence.

Love the vibe of the shop. I have gone to Chris for several years and he consistently does excellent cuts. Punctual.

Phenomenal barber shop, been going there for years. Went back today for my first cut since the lock down, glad to see business as usual. All the Barbers do great work but cant go wrong with my man Chris.

Chris did a great job with my blended undercut! Even though I don’t live in the neighborhood, I’ll definitely keep Denim in mind.

Shouldve looked at the negative reviews before coming here. Attaching a photo of my reservation since the responses to the lower reviews are cant find your name in our booking systemCame in and was greeted kindly. Only Chris and Haley were in the store. Was asked how I heard of the place and replied google/yelp. He immediately started telling me about he had recently received a bunch of 1 star reviews on google and that they seemed suspicious. Also went on to talk about how hes hiring because so many people have been unable to continue working there. I asked for a simple clean haircut that was short on the sides and longer on the top and specifically asked that it not be too shortA majority of the time he was arguing with haley about when to order the pizza they were going to have for lunch while cutting my hair. He kept cutting the top shorter and shorter until I mentioned it was getting too short for me. Told me it would look fine once he brought in the sides. It did not. He also offered to do my eyebrows which consisted of him running the clippers over them once.Overall I didnt notice anything different about my eye brows, the vibe in the shop was awkward, and the haircut did not turn out how I wanted it. It was too short and like a couple of the negative reviews before me have described it the shape up was just round. Way too short on top and its fairly uneven (he was talking to Haley the whole time).I paid cash (it is cash only, and maybe its on the website but its not obvious if it is - I never saw it) and tipped but honestly I ended up with the same haircut I wasnt happy with when I was a kid from great clips/supercuts except instead of $15 it was $47

I took my son here a few months ago. The barber barely got it low and even and his shape up was just round. Never again. I could have shaped it up better if I have done it.

Good haircut and products. Definitely be back again. Friendly and talkative which made the experience better. Keith did my hair and it’s been awhile since it’s looked this good. Cool dude.

This would be the place to go before an event where you want to look your best. They take their time to give you a quality haircut. They also keep the place pristine.

I was welcomed by Eve (who took my temperature and offered me a selection of beverages). I was a little early for my appointment, but Keith was ahead of schedule and got me in the chair prior to my appointment time. I gave him free rein on what to do with my hair and he gave me a layered bob that looks amazing! Ive been walking around touching my hair for the last 24 hours! Also working were Chris and Brian and they were incredibly friendly and welcoming as well. The waiting area decor is beautiful; the bathroom was sparkling; the whole experience was great! FIVE STARS and then some!

I love Barbershop Denim! You walk into the shop and youre immediately drawn into the atmosphere. Everything from the original artwork, music and professional staff makes your experience perfectly enjoyable. I rarely wait, but when I do I always have a complementary drink to sip on and a cool show to watch on the TV. I go to Keith for my haircut and for 50 dollars its a great deal for a fantastic womens haircut in the city. Cant say enough about how great this place is!

I’ve been going to Barbershop Denim for 4+ years and you cannot go wrong here. This is the best barbershop in Philly. All the barbers are top notch - If they’re working at this shop, they can cut. There is a great overall and welcoming vibe that keeps me coming back.

Been coming to Chris for almost 8 years now since I moved to Philly, I swear every time I come back hes added a new service, trimmers, or something to the barbershop to make it THAT much nicer than it already was! Great place, super clean, friendly staff, and a Heineken with my cut..why go anywhere else?

First time getting my haircut here. Im making Barbershop Denim my spot. Walked in 10 minutes early for my appointment. Was greeted immediately. Sarah cut my hair, she rocks. Great conversation with her and everyone else in the place. I went in with some instructions and pictures of how I wanted my hair and beard cut. Sarah knocked it out of the park. Do yourself a favor & stop searching for a place to get your haircut. Barbershop Denim is the only spot you will need.

I LOVED Barbershop Denim. My go to place. All the reviews here are true. Great atmosphere. Awesome cuts. But this last cut warrants a review. Had a cut with a new employee Sarah who said she’s been there for a week. But with all due respect, this was absolutely one of the WORST haircuts Ive ever had. She did only one sideburn. Right hand side looks nothing like left. She was great at talking, but AWFUL at cutting hair. Sorry, but if I return I’ll request to not have this girl cut my hair.

Chris and his team are awesome. My first visit and they are clearly passionate about what they do and it shows in the work and culture. A great find in Philadelphia and one I will recommend to many others!

My husband has been going here since they opened- he even had the groomsmen get ready here before our wedding. Chris always does a stellar job, especially considering cutting Asian hair is no easy task. Id spent many hours sitting on his comfy couch waiting for my husband when I finally decided to get my own pixie cut cleaned up by Jenna. Cant say enough good things about this place!

This place is great. Barbers know what they are doing. Great vibe, free drinks, and a good place to hang out. It has a warm feel. My haircut cost $40 and I got what I paid for.

Review №29

If youre looking for a good cut/fade and or taper, then Denim is the place to set time aside for. I usually get a nice side/temple taper, and style the top accordingly. Usually I have to visit 2 hair spots. One to get the back and sides done, then another to get the top cut properly, but Jenna B hooked it up something amazing. She does men and womens hair like some sort of Asian hair Wizard.. Definitely go check her out, especially if youve been having trouble getting exactly the cut youre looking for!!

Been here 3 times now, never disappointed. Free refreshments while you wait, cool atmosphere, nice conversation with staff. They only take cash though, FYI, but they have an ATM in store so its easy.

Chris and his shop are great. I’m glad they’re on Booksy now, too, but I’ve never had a problem calling up the shop to schedule a cut or a beard trim in the past. I’ve surfed around a lot of Philly area barbershops, and this is a place I’ll always trust.You’ll always be in good hands here, no matter what you’re looking for in terms of style - and if you don’t know, they’ll offer solid advice.Finding a barber who can work with thinning patches of hair and who can guide you on growing out your beard in a clean-cut style is a rare fine. Don’t worry if you’ve still got plenty of hair to work with, I’ve seen these guys turn out all different styles with clean, sharp consistency.There’s no gimmick here, just quality, and that’s what keeps me coming back.The shop is really chill, they’ll offer you water or a beer while you wait, and the conversation is always great if you want it. Cash only - but there’s an ATM at the shop, and plenty others nearby.

Came in a complete mess, left his chair a different man. I told Chris to go nuts, do whatever he thought would look best... He spent more time on my beard then I ever have and sculpted the perfect cut for my lumpy ass head.Chris gave me an excellent haircut in a super chill environment keeping me laughing the whole time. I searched yelp for hours trying to find the perfect shop for my personality and he knocked it out of the park.

Been getting my hair cut by Chris for the past 5 years now. He consistently keeps me looking great for my day-to-day (work in sales so my appearance is tied into my livelihood), I truly appreciate his professionalism and innate talent to make people look and feel their best.Since he opened the shop theres been constant growth and improvement, its a place that I look forward to spending time in and its always changing for the better. He and the team have made Denim into a relaxing Center City oasis with a great neighborhood vibe. Expect walls covered in art, visually interesting and comfortable waiting area, top of the line barber chairs/equipment, all manned by consummate professionals who are invested in your satisfaction.If youre in Philly and looking for an exceptional barber and shop experience, look no further than Chris Cahill and Barbershop Denim!

Came here for the first time a few weeks ago to get cleaned up. New to the city and havent established a barber just yet.Jenna did a great job giving me exactly the cut I wanted and even touched up my beard a little bit. I thought the service was great, the shop is cool and clean, and the conversation wasnt your typical banter (which was entertaining). My only drawback is the price - at $35 for a mens cut Id at least expect a shampoo and maybe a free beer (just for the hell of it). Id reconsider coming back simply because of the price (and no student discount..?). Otherwise this is definitely a solid barber shop that appears to do great work.

Review №47

Walked in to see if they had availability. They said “yes” to me and my brother.The whole haircut was rushed,especially for a $40 haircut, they cut our hair within less than 15 minutesThey don’t accept card, So they have a ATM in store. Who the hell doesn’t accept credit card?My brother had long hair which was going to take longer to cut, they stopped cutting his hair half way through because they had a a scheduled appointment arrive.Totally unprofessional!!They asked my brother to wait, to start the process again and we told them no.Would not recommend.
