I always use their service. This shop provides a very nice hair cutting service at a very low price. The location is not too far from our place, it’s easy to find their location. I liked also the staff for shes really good at handling the haircut. When I looked at myself in the mirror, I was amazed for I looked so beautiful. Thanks a bunch!

I am from out of state and just needed a beard trimming. I booked and crossed my fingers. Well, I was so pleased and impressed with Nathaniel that I booked another appointment for a haircut before I leave the state! He was extremely kind and engaged. 10/10 would recommend!👍🏼

Duncan at Phoenix Local Barbershop is in a league of his own. I travel for work and have had to use many barbers over the last few years and Duncan puts all of them to shame. If I’m ever in Phoenix again, I’ll be sure to make it back.

I was feeling shaggy And I certainly need a haircutI highly recommend this place. Amazing job and my 19 yo daughter said I had a “Fresh Looking” haircut.5-stars for sure since that’s the highest I can give them.I am from out of town, Fresno, California to be exact. I looked online and surprisingly found a Gem. I Definitely will return the next time I am in Phoenix.

I had Ben, he was amazing. He took my vague description accompanied with an old photo and gave me one of the best haircuts Ive ever had. You could feel how passionate he is about his job with the care and meticulousness he provided throughout the entire cut. The shop overall was clean and friendly. The only downside is the parking downtown, but will definitely visit them again

Absolutely amazing experience every time I go there. Did my research, they were highly rated, and they did not disappoint. Nathaniel is amazing at what he does and the other barbers are pretty awesome too. Besides the amazing haircut I have a blast every time Im in there, its a legit barbershop you just want to hang out in. Cant speak highly enough about their service and establishment in general, Ill never go anywhere else as long as Im living in Phoenix!!!

The only haircuts I’ve ever actually liked on myself my whole life have always either just been done by myself or from friends while being in jail haha, but this place gave me my favorite haircut I’ve ever had and I’ve actually never even left a review for anything on Google before but I really liked this place and really liked my haircut and I recommend this spot 100%! The dudes that work there are super rad and easy to talk to and enjoy a conversation with, they play cool music, and they’re amazing at what they do because they know what they’re doing plus they actually cut and style hair the way their customers ask them to! I never thought I’d be the type of person to have a “go-to” barbershop or the type of person to review any specific small business, but this place is so sick and I’m stoked to go back in the future!

Nice place, decent haircut, HORRIBLE BEARD TRIM!! He decided to blend in my beard with my haircut, which I clearly stated i was letting my beard grow.........will be shaving my beard off as soon as i get home. Very dissatisfied....The person who cut my hair is a white male with lots of old style tattoos......BEWARE!!!

I am a streetwear boutique business owner who traveled from downtown Los Angeles. Best cut I think I’ve ever had. Definitely worth every penny and should be priced higher in my opinion. Very great place and will recommend to anyone in town. Might even travel here from LA on a regular basis. Not sure yet

Nathaniel is hands-down the best barber Ive ever been to. Ive been going to The Local for a few months now and will continue as long as theyre around. These guys are all highly skilled at their craft and I walk way feeling great about my hair after each visit. Good conversation, cool shop vibe, great value. If you havent given The Local a shot, I highly recommend that you do!

Review №61

Usually, my haircut experience involves me sitting quietly for 20 minutes and leaving. This experience was entirely different, with everyone involved being super friendly and comforting to be around. I left with a smile, a perfectly-executed fresh cut, and a business to come back to!

Local has been open for quite a while just a stones throw from my workplace. I saw Nathaniel on the corner this morning as I was setting up my bar and asked if he had some time for a cut this afternoon. I am so glad he did! Upon my arrival I immediately felt like I belonged... a warm, inviting, and safe space. It’s cute and quaint and comfortable. Nathaniel was an amazing conversationalist and an even better barber. I now have a new place to get my hair done and so conveniently located. I wish I could give more than 5 starts because Local and Nathaniel truly deserve it!!! Thank you!!!

These people know how to give a good haircut. Youre missing out if you dont come here. I asked the barber, Nathaniel, if he could help switch up my hairstyle. He said absolutely and explained what he was thinking of doing. He didnt just give me a cookie cutter haircut either. He really took the time to make sure it was what I wanted and the cut looked fantastic. Hands down the best haircut Ive ever had. Bonus points for the employees being all around cool people and having great conversation!

Review №74

I never write reviews, this is the first review I have ever written, but this place was so great that i had to. I showed up 10 minutes early and was greeted immediately by by barber Dunkin who was already ready for me. He asked what I wanted and even though I was a little indecisive, he rolled with it and gave me better than what I could have asked for. He took his time and made sure it was perfect. Even if you didnt get the best cut, (be cut I have ever had from a barber) it would still be a 5 star experience. Both the barbers there were friendly, willing to talk about anything, and made sure every customer was comfortable. Couldnt recommend highly enough. If youre unsure of where to go and hesitant, just book an appointment, you wont be disappointed!

Really nice shop with the absolute best staff you could find. My barber Nathan took me from a 7/10 to a solid 9/10 with this fantastic cut. My hair looks so great, that I’m confident I could easily get a B list celebrity to date me. I highly recommend this place for the atmosphere and great cuts!

I don’t have much hair to start with! I don’t get hair cuts very often cause I like to grow it out as once cut it looks even worse, but for the first time in over 2 years I had Anthony at the local barber cut my hair for the first time this past week! I’M so impressed how good my hair looks right now! I really appreciate it and this place was awesome as well

I was in Phoenix on Presidents Day for a conference and needed a haircut. I happened on this place, and becase of the holiday, just the owner was working. I enjoyed a wonderful conversation with him while getting a great cut. Told him next time I need a haircut, Im flying back to Phoenix.

The level of meticulousness and professionalism at The Local is absolutely unrivaled. Each cut is crafted to perfection and you will never leave the chair looking anything but your best, Patrick and the other members of the staff make sure of that. Once I started going 3+ years ago, I knew I had found the only barbershop Id ever need. It was the classic tale of love at first cut. I truly cant say enough great things about this place. THE BEST!
