I saw Matt with haircut harry years ago, and when I came to Phoenix on a business trip I was honored with the chance to visit the legend himself. Matt is a master of the trade and has his own unique style. His barbershop is curated with thousands of fun objects. Matts Barbershop had a movie playing to enjoy while sitting in comfy chairs. The haircut was worth the $40 and more! Matt gave me a shave and showed his skill and thoroughness. At the end I felt like a million bucks. If your travels ever bring you to Phoenix, come visit Matts Barber Parlor for the experience of a lifetime with the friendliest master barber around!
Dude what in the world is this? I showed you a picture of what I wanted(shown below) for $40? You know the other picture I got for only $25 and its just perfect, maybe you should bring down the price to $20 if youre going to give cuts like this Matt. Last time I go over there. Pinkys Barbershop gives you unbiased cuts just like you like them, the only setback is you require appointments, but still worth it.
I visited Matts twice and both times I left before getting a cut. The first time there were about 6 people ahead of me so I wasnt waiting. The second time there was only one person so I settled in. Unfortunately, there was an action movie playing on their TV and it was super loud. Also I thought it was super unnecessary, because it was 9am in the morning. Not a fan of listening to crashing and exploding noises while getting a haircut. A relaxing environment seems more appropriate. I said ok, I can try and deal with this though. Initially, I also had some reservations about spending $40 for a haircut and then I saw it. I read a sign that said haircuts will be $60 starting 11/1. Who in their right mind would spend $60 to get a haircut? I understand raising prices to cover rising costs, but how about $45? I said forget it. This business is open from 8am-10pm most days so they should be making enough money. You just cant justify a price increase of that magnitude. Its just a haircut and it doesnt matter how good you might be. No haircut is worth paying on the wrong side of $50 for and I really dont care how cool your decorations are or that youre in downtown Phoenix. It just isnt worth it!
At first I thought paying $50 for a hot shave was kinda alot, but man is it worth it. From the decor of Matts shop littered with pop references and the movies, books to read, video games to play and much more. The shave was fantastic, he was a great host that understood what I wanted from my shave. The a massage at the end, it was a true experience that I will be willing to pay for again and again. Thank you Matt, you have a customer for life.
This is why I like getting my haircut done by the actual owner Matt, because Ive been sitting in the car for over an hr/1/2 because no one is answering the door, Im pretty sure lunch break isnt almost 2hrs or there should be a note at the front door, Ive been calling every 30min as well, I just gave up and about to leave, Matt needs to talk to whomever has the weekend shift because this is ridiculous, Ive never encountered this problem before and I know its not Matt because I went one day over the weekend and a different cutter was there and said he works the Friday-Sunday shift, and I dont live to close by here, very disappointed.Ill try again in the morning, then Ill change the rating.Edit: My apologies Matt, I didnt know that was the case, I dont think I saw any note, nonetheless thanks for heads up.
Best barber shop in town. Great customer service, exceptional space, perfectly comfortable, and the best haircut experience in Phoenix.
5 stars great experience and Zac was super chill. The razor shave was out of this world. The YouTube video dont do it justice.
Flawless cuts and service, every time! I feel like Im cheating if I let anyone else touch my hair and beard!
Matt is professional, has a great talent and his place is inviting and laid back. Best cut I’ve ever had. I got lucky and found him on google and won’t go anywhere else. He’s worth the trip
Found Matt on Google and figured I’d give him a try. His customer service, professionalism, and quality blew me out of the water. Best cut I’ve ever received. Matt really makes you feel comfortable. He asks questions about the cut you want and pays great attention to detail!! I highly recommend Matt’s Barber Parlor if you’re looking for someone that you can really know, like, & trust!!
Matt gave me the full Brittany (hair shaved off). I opened the door he immediately greeted me and pointed towards a vintage mini fridge. I was nervous, he heard me out and shaved my hair to where my curls fell into a ziploc bag. Chosing to have your hair shaved off is a big decision, he respected that. He communicates each move hes going to make and thanked me for trusting him with the task at hand. His attention to detail is amazing and I look forward to going back. On the way out you can help yourself to a water. Cash only. Eccentric.
Hold on, wait a minute, Im about to put some love into it... This review that is. This is a haircut AND beard trim review! Ive been looking for a Barber shop that can cut my hair at any length, long (as it was for this visit) to short (I watched a serious fade take shape just next to me) AND at the same time trim my beard the way I want it (yes Im picky) and the crew (Zakk specifically) at Matts was the best Ive found in 6 years here in Phoenix. I havent even started on the environment, take your kids, get your hair cut, sit and chill while a fun movie plays while you wait. This gets my Hidden Gem award for this month no question!
Great cut & very cool space, only reason for 4 stars is that it’s usually about an hour wait
Perfect place to get a haircut. Been coming here for years and will continue to come here. I highly recommend this barber parlor to anyone looking for someone that can give great haircuts.
A great place for a great haircut with a great atmosphere. Been going here for years.
Great hair cut, 100% satisfied. Very patient and I let the barber do what he does best, and he did a great job! My brother who got a cut before me said this is the best hair cut I ever got! thanks Matt!
Im absolutely in love with this place 😍 💕 THE VIBE IS RIGHT FR ✅ MY SONS are so happy with there hair cut and there sodas 😍 i feel like i found a gem 💎 in the desert 🏜 ❤
Worth it - ignore the haters complaining about the price!
I don’t write reviews but I made an exception this time around. Came to this shop for the first time cool place. I enjoyed just looking around and great haircut by Eric! I needed a shave as well and man...by far my best barber experience ever! I will be back. Thank you for the transformation.
The service is absolutely incredible. The gentlemen working there are very skilled. Just to note: The service no matter what is $40. Full hair and beard? 40. Touching up? 40. Kid cut? 40. If your look requires a lot of maintenance, youll get the best value. However, no matter what, your results will be quality. And, yes, this is the same Matt made famous for his delicate work in a multi-million viewed YouTube video on the Haircut Harry channel.
Great cuts everytime.
My boy Isaac will have you lookin sharp.
I dont write reviews often, but after my first visit to Matts, I have to recommend it. Other reviews mention the snacks, drinks, movies, and decor (which all reflect Matts personality), and its all great, but I have to mention the quality of the haircut itself. Matt said it was his passion, and I absolutely believe him. It was clear from the questions, skill, and care Matt put into the cut, that he is doing what he enjoys, and taking care to do it as well as he can. I look forward to the next time I need a haircut.
I called at 6 am because I saw they were opened online! I didn’t believe it. I called and Eric was a absolute gentleman! I thought the price was a little high but he explained it was an experience. I came in and it sure was. He gave me a tour which I thought was nice. During the cut gave me the mirror to ask me how it’s was coming along. Hair cut is on point! Thank you Eric! I’ll be coming to you soon!
Matt makes the great conversation and Im sure it helps him perfect his work because I left with a fresh looking cut.
My husband goes here. They always do an amazing job.
What a hidden gem!! Best haircut I have ever had! Thank you Matt!! He listened, talked to me about what I wanted, and executed perfectly! The inside of the shop is something to see in itself, but the customer service was second to none. Highly recommend!!
My favorite barbershop in Phoenix. No appointments but its always worth the wait for me. The barbers are friendly and really genuinely pleasant service. Technically, I think they can pull off any cut you ask for, so dont be shy
As a first time customer Matt is a true master at barbering. He was welcoming, knowledgeable and listens to exactly what your looking for in a cut.The antiques decor scattered throughout the shop, courtesy beverages, ambient lighting and great movies playing truly portrays Matts idea of providing superb service to his clients.5 star rating for the overall service.
Absolutely loved the place, will be back every time Im in phoenix
AWESOME PLACE!!! MY SON HAD GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE WITH MATT!!! HE TOOK THE TIME TO ASK PLENTY OF QUESTIONS THREW THE WHOLE HAIR CUT PROCESS. EVEN THOUGH IT WAS VERY CLOSE TO CLOSING TIME HE TOOK HIS TIME AND EXPLAINED DIFFERENT OPTIONS AND TECHNIQUES FOR MY SON!!! AND THE WHOLE PLACE IS DECORATED LIKE NO OTHER 💈BARBER PARLOR💈 WE WILL BE BACK SOON!!!
Great service and cut.
Excellent haircut and service at a fair price. Solid spot for sure.
Matt was great. Loved the atmosphere so didnt mind the short wait. He gave me the cut I want exactly but he informed me as I was leaving that his prices would be going up and although hes great and his shop is cool, I just cant afford to pay more for a haircut as simple as mine. Thanks again but cant afford to return
This is a pretty cool spot to get your haircut. Good barbers and good vibes. Juan cut my hair and he was very professional and hes a really good barber. I definitely recommend this spot, you can watch a movie, read a book or play video games while you wait. Plus they give you free drinks!
This place used to be great (when Matt was still cutting hair) but now it takes hours to get a haircut. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll wait my turn to get a good trim but to not warn people that each cut will take over an hour, and to have one barber on at a time, is absurd. Things need to be fixed here. Wont be coming back until that changes. Very disappointing considering this place used to be amazing.
First time in today and got helped out by Zach. The dude was hella welcoming and chill! Definitely knew what he was doing, he has mad talent! Will be coming back to get my haircut by him 💯 Plus the environment is so cool, very laid back n comfortable. I love this place! Thanks guys!
Awesome parlor with all kinds of interesting memorabilia and movies playing to watch, tons ofLiterature to read for those who prefer that. Matt and Zach are great, friendly professional barbers that create a very positive and welcoming environment. Got an amazing cut and shave on a Sunday before a wedding and couldn’t be more impressed with the quality of work. Would give it a 10 star if i could.
Legit AF. Seriously though, the quality service you very from these guys is outstanding. True gentlemen.The only downside to this shop is since its a two man operation, wait times can get a little long, but its worth the wait if you have the time.Seriously, these guys put their hearts into every cut. Love this place.
Odd location / odd place.Always a bit of a wait.Honestly, I almost didnt stay my first visit.But these are real pros.Excellent hair & beard trim.Best barber Ive found in Phoenix.And Ive tried quite a few.
Always satisfied with my haircuts! Barber makes me feel comfortable and on top of that, the place is very amusing to be in
Awesome place! The decor captivates the imagination, Matt is a great Barber/Business Owner! He always greets me when I walk in the door and never fails to make sure I feel at home. Then theres the popcorn and soda pops that keep you refreshed, an awesome movie playing while you wait and once they are done with your cut you get a quick shoulder and trap massage via a massage machine. Very highly recommended!
Best barber shop I have ever been to in my life hands down. Clean, friendly and professional environment for all. Not only are the cuts A1 but the service is second to none. Matt and his staff really take customer care to the next Level. Movies, video games and snacks are all on the house. Dim lighting with comfortable seating and hot towel warm lather combo along with a shoulder and neck massage make the wait very much worthwhile.
Tell u what this place is on deck! You want that royal old school barber shop treatment. This is the spot. Matt is on it! You gotta experience for yo self especially after long day at work!
I went there with a friend and his wife I was visiting in Phoenix, he had an appointment for a haircut and shave. This small but intimate Barbershop makes you feel at home even if you arent getting a haircut. TV beverages and treats were offered for free while we waited.
This is the only place you should be getting your hair cut at. they offer wonderful hospitality by having the latest movie playing while you sit in the waiting are on such comfortable seats. they offer popcorn and a drink here too and when you’re turn is up for your haircut you will never be disappointed because they staff here are professionals.
Best Barber in all the Land! Matthew the owner truly has gifted hands. I hate going anywhere else and only do as of late. He is the best, there is always a wait, but never dissatisfied. Just don’t get stuck with one of his employees. It’s just not the same.
Matthew and Zack are phenomenal barbers. They take their time to cut your hair just right and if you need a beard clean up, theyre there to provide their remarkable talents and creativity. I highly recommend them. Definitely 5 stars.
Great customer service my teenage son has been getting his haircut here for a year now. I love how they stay open late on weekdays. My one year old got his first haircut they did great to keep him comfortable.
Loved my haircut. Matt is very meticulous with his cuts and always does a great job. You won’t be disappointed!
Matt knows how to cut! Place is decked out in Parlor decor and very welcoming. I was in from out of town and needed a cut and he did an awesome job! Better than my guy back home.
Expect a wait to get the best service there is! Absolutely worth it! My son and I get our hair cut here. Usually the newest movie is playing (unless the newest movie really sucks and then its usually something recent that didnt). He also had a PlayStation that my boy could play on while we waited. Once we get in the chair, the amazing service continues and we get exactly what we ask for every time. Worth the wait time and price!
This a small shop but very quaint. You gotta go see Zzack, the best haircuts in the world. If there is a wait, kick back, have some popcorn, a soda and watch a movie. Straight razor clean up and shave with a hot towel massage. This place is amazing you gotta check it out. Oh! Beforre I forget, they only take cash.
Best. Haircut. Ever.I tried just about every barber in Chandler before finding this place randomly while in Phoenix. Never going anywhere else again even if it means a bit of a drive.Barbers are great, friendly, chill, and the movies and drinks are great bonuses.Thank you!
Barber Parlor is the real deal. Located in a quaint adobe style multiplex, you need to keep your eyes open or youll drive right by it.I was quite impressed with the professional and courteous service. Excellent haircut and shave.I will hit this joint whenever Im in town.
Great haircut every time!Matthew has created a very cool man-cave for those times that you may have to wait awhile...yea, its happened a few times, but theres free soda and popcorn to enjoy while watching an action flick, which is always playing!
Cool barber shop, small and quaint. Zakk does an incredible job cutting hair. The only draw back is they dont take appointments, you put your name on a list and can not leave so if the wait is an hour, you must sit and wait.
Matt & his other barbers are great!
The only place where I get my haircut. Super legit!
First of all the pictures online do not do it juctice. When you walk in. You feel like you step into the man cave from heaven. I walked in and Matt welcomed me, as if I was his lost friend. He listens to everything you say. He cut my hair better then I wanted. If your looking for a place to get a great haircut and has a atmosphere. This is your spot. I have been looking for the right barber for almost a year. So glad I found this spot. They make you feel appreciated!
This place is awesome! Very cool! I came for a haircut while visiting family for Christmas holiday and it was cool that he was playing Home Alone 2 on VHS. I showed up right when the place opened and Matt cut my hair very well. I can see why this place is very popular. Moments after I sat down in the chair 3 other people came in all seeming to try to get the first spot of the day. Matt is very good at what he does and he works very quickly, almost too quickly, to the point where I was nervous at first but his fade was on point and his personality is wonderful. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants a good cut and a good experience, although you may have to wait a little while.
I wish Id had the same great experience as other reviewers.The place itself is neat - quaint and cool. 2 barbers on-site. Extended hours are a huge plus. Walking distance from my loft.Ill spare you the gory details, but the moral of the story is that I got a decent haircut, but not at all the haircut I asked for. One of the more pricey barbers Ive gone to, so I expected what I asked for (and was very specific in my description of what I wanted). Ill likely give this place one more shot, but will wait for a different barber (like the owner).
Unique shop with cool vibe and my haircut came out great.
Great attention to detail in the cut and precise skills for any style. The Parlor is the best Ive ever seen. The surround sound movies are always perfect and the setup is cool with pictures, antiques, etc all over the walls!
Matthew does an amazing job every time. The decor and entertainment while you wait is also top-notch. Hell take care of you.
My boyfriend needed a new barber, so I found this place while sifting through google maps. The place is a true man cave. He had a great chat with the barber who cut his hair and really loved the cut. The price was a bit up there, but he said it was worth it. I guess he found his new barber!
Friendly, good atmosphere. Cut was not very good lol. He didnt really listen to anything I told him. I said high fade and he took it all the way to the top of my head. He also was cutting people in like 15 minutes so I should have known it was gonna be trash. Other barber was taking his time so maybe you could get a good cut out of one of them.
Definitely has to be the best barber shop in Phoenix. Watch movies while you wait. The place smells amazing and all the old school decor is legit. The haircuts are always on point no matter who takes care of you.
By far the best place I have ever gotten a haircut at. I have literally been to almost every single barber and it has been hard to find anyone to cut my hair. Worth the 30 mile drive and the wait, I will be back every single time. Very trustworthy owner.
*CASH ONLY*My husband’s go to barbershop. Him, his brothers, and his closest friends all only come here for their haircuts. Matt is great, shop is great, unlike any other. They provide free drinks (soda and water), popcorn, and whatever snack they have on their table that day. Usually gum, candy or chips. Also they play a movie, set up as a mini theatre, while you wait or you can play on the xbox they have set up in the next room. Definitely not your typical shop, a little on the higher end, like $20something but considering the amenities, great customer service, and great haircut you get out of it, it’s well worth it.
The best place to get the cleanest and most precise haircut for men. The environment inside makes it worth coming back several times for a clean up. There is even free popcorn and movies playing while you wait! Make yourself at home and come in for an amazing time!
Visit the Barber Parlor youre looking for A very unique experience and the best haircut. Mary did an outstanding job on my hair and beard. Ill be back for sure
Great service....
Matts place is the bomb
This place is rad. Sure, you might have to wait for a cut and you might pay a few extra bucks but its well worth it. Ive been to many barbers around downtown Phoenix and this is now my home. Mathew listened, took his time and made sure I got exactly what I was looking for. Ill be back!
What a cool place. So clean too. Got a shave and a quick clean up...very nice job!
Matt has an excellent barber parlor for us here in Phoenix. Been having Zakk the Barber handle my cuts and beard trims for over 5 years... top notch!
Would give these guys 7 stars. Great people, artistically done work and a cool place to get a haircut. Thank you Zack and Matt!
Hands down the best haircut I have ever gotten! I showed him a picture of the cut I wanted and boom! 20 min later it was exactly like the picture. Matt is also relatable and fun to chat with. His spot is unique and cool! I will definitely be a reapeat customer!
Best Barbershop ! And the Barbers give great detailed haircuts & shaves. Very Experience
Always great service, amazing culture and atmosphere, and perfect cuts everytime. Movies are on constantly, waiting chairs are comfy as hell, and the prices are SO nice. Deff go here
Great Barber & Experience! After reading all the awesome reviews on yelp and here. I decided to get my hair clipped here and it was an awesome cut and a great ambience and experience.
I absolutely love this place! Every time I come I feel welcomed and at home. The decor is very modern and there is lots of cool artwork to look at while you wait.
I got in on a walk in while traveling for business. Great service/cut.Note for 1st timers... Cash Only
Clean haircut and good conversations
Awesome place, really cool guy and great price!
Great customer service
The Parlor is a very cool and interesting place. I was really impressed and Matthew did a great job. I would recommend the Barber Parlor to anyone in Phoenix looking for a gentlemans cut with a great environment
Been coming here for a year and by far my favorite barber shop hands down. In my opinion it doesnt matter which barber you get because everyone is going to do great. It’s cash only so remember that before coming in and they do not do appointments so you may wait for awhile depending on how many people are in front of you but they always have a movie laying in the lobby, they have a fridge full of free drinks, a pop corn machine and a ps4 with 2 controllers and grip of games. So even if you have to wait an hour there is plenty to make the time go by and to keep yourself entertained.
Great cut and shave for a great price. Park in the back. The nice atmosphere and service and a bonus.
Tried to go 3 times... each time the wait is an hour plus plus. Last time waited over 45 minutes and was the first person in line. At least they had a good movie on.
The place was great, great service my man zach hooked it up he did a good job didnt mean for it to turn to a project and all 😅😅😅 yesterday made my mind up i have found my barber for sure 👌🔥💯great job guys keep it up -Alex
This place is amazing! Precision cuts by everyone there! I drive from the West Valley because its worth it. I will not go anywhere else!
Been going here for 10 years ..and for all of those years matt has been calling me kevin...its way to late to correct him..so my name is kevin whenever im getting my hair cut
This is my favorite place to get a haircut. Highly recommended 👌💈
Ive been going to Matts for years. Hes a great guy and an even better barber 👌
Awesome barbershop! Period
Awesome place! I dont trust anyone with my beard except Matt!
