Dan is old school, meaning exactly that, he gets my fade so crisp Without using a comb. Hes a true artisan, a brilliant storyteller, and a great guy. Lately business isnt anywhere near what it was, pitch in and keep Dan on the block!! Cheers
Dan was so friendly and did a great job. Definitely will be coming back 🤗
Took my Son here to get his hair cut this weekend. What an amazing place. Dan is an amazing guy. Did a wonderful job with my son. This place reminded me of barbershops my dad used to take me when I was young. My son and I loved the experience and will be returning.
Dan’s a man’s man. Great quality cut with all the fine detailing you’d want. Great stories. Great music. FYI: There was a strong smoke scent, but you’ll be fine if that’s not something that bothers you 👍🏽
Pretty disappointing. I live right around the corner and was excited to support local and small business.I walked over in the rain and when I got to the door - a sign said open but all the windows were drawn. I opened the door to a completely empty business - totally closed - with an unlocked front door. Pretty weird. I closed the door and then had to walk to rooks. All phone calls went unanswered.I’ll try again and hopefully update with a stellar review - so far - I’m not impressed.
I came to Dan after *attempting* to cut my own hair. I asked him to do what he thought best and he took the mess I made and gave me truly the best haircut of my life! Super chill guy and knows exactly what hes doing with your hair and cares how you feel walking out. Highly recommend if youre lookin for a cut
This guy rocks! Best haircut Ive ever had! Plus hes always playing great tunes and is a great conversationalist. I wont get my haircut any place else. Also the price is extremely reasonable. $20 for a mens haircut. You cant beat that price for the 45 years of experience Dan has of cutting hair. From what Ive seen he can do any mens hairstyle you could ask for.
Elvis is alive and doing a great job cutting hair the old-school way at your local barber shop. Come for a cut or shave, stay for the chatter. Hanging out at your local barber is still alive and well.
John just took over the spot and I am very happy with his skills. Made me feel like a regular. Love my fade he provided. Will ne back before leaving Oregon.
Ive never cared that much about my appearance, to be honest. And when it comes to my hair, I really just dont care. However, that all changed when I went to Barber Dans. He gave me the best haircut I have ever gotten in my entire life, and I must say, I felt really good and supremely confident!I highly recommend Barber Dans! Dont be turned off by the price, its worth it!
Best barber Ive ran into on the west coast. Hes a lively character though so anticipate that. Bluegrass conversations and gpod barbering is what youll find here. Not what you Want? I could swear theres a salon right around the same spot.
Barber Dan is my man. I am one who has had two professional haircuts in the last 10 years, and they have been in the past 6 months on Gladstone at Barber Dans. He is a wonderful character to have a conversation with while he cuts your hair. He has changed my mind on barber shops, and he didnt charge me an arm or a leg to do it.
Best haircut I have ever had. Believe the hype. Knows exactly what kind of cut works best for whatever type of head you have. Takes his time until everything is perfect. As long as Dan cuts hair Ill be in that chair.
Dan is a cool character. Affable and easy to converse with, his demeanor puts you at ease right away. He’s quick with a story and genuinely seems interested in just getting to know you. Even if the haircut sucked (which it didn’t), I would still go back.
Ive visited a few places since moving to Portland, but I think Barber Dans is a great spot for a haircut. He takes pride in his craft and is as affable as they get. Good haircuts, conversation and music... small, local business that has been here for decades.
He has such a passion for what he does. A perfectionist with a welcoming shop. He willFigure out what works best with your hair and tell you how to deal with whatever random cowlick you may have.
Best $20 I have spent on my hair in ages! Dans a super cool guy who is really down to earth and is a SUPERB barber. Not to mention he had wonderful Blues playing the whole time. Why are you still reading, go get your hair done today!
My old barber had went out of buisness i had been looking around for a couple of weeks. After reading reviews on here I decided to give Dan a try. First of all I have never had a free handed fad done before. Second the guy is really cool. One of the best cuts I have had I a long time.
Barber Dan is one of a kind. Seriously. Best haircut Ive ever had, hands down. He is old style, takes his time, talks to you, and listens to great music. Most of all, he is a true artist and reminds you that hair cutting can be an art form.
Best barber i have ever been too. It may take some time to get a cut, but you cant rush genius. Dan is very knowledgable about hair, how to cut it, and how to maintain it, even down to dietary advice. Plus, he has a gold record on the wall.
Dan is a skilled craftsman, as a barber. Not cheap, but he doesnt let you get out of the chair until you look good! Dan usually has honky-tonk, country-bluegrass on to listen to and is a musician himself.
Really personable guy. Took his time and dont think I have ever had a better haircut. I am coming back.
Dan sees your hair as an individual and thats why he takes his time to listen and teach you about your own hair as he gives you the best cut in Portland. If youre lucky hell bust out the guitar and play a tune!
Great Barber, very experienced and actually gives advice on what to do with your hair. I went in for the modern haircut everyone is getting these days, I ended up with something similar, but much more stylish and fitting. Thanks Dan.
I really enjoyed your professionalism there I highly recommend at least trying it once and I promise you will go back
A true barber! He knows mens hair and gave my 13 year old son the best ever! We found our forever barber finally!
Awesome men’s cuts, nothing postmodern about it; Dan is the real deal and a Portland institution. Optional bluegrass tracks.
Dan cuts hair like a master sculpture works clay. He knows his tools, he knows different types of hair, how it grows, lays, and fits with the heads shape. All the while he is an excellent conversationalist, is genuine and friendly.Second haircut there - would have Dan and only Dan cut my hair for the rest of my life if I could help it.
He disclosed that he had pink eye -- then I saw the puss oozing out of his eyelid -- then permanently kicked me out of his shop when I suggested that maybe I should come back the following week. Thanks for helping me find a new barber, Dan!
Quick, affordable, stylish and cool. Dan can hook you up with a nice cut.
Classic mens barbershop! every time i go back i get a better cut Dan is amazing w/ attention to detail
Great conversation, great music, and even better haircuts. Love this guy!
With a trade that has all but disappeared, Great local barber with many years of experience to back up his shop. Thanks Dan!
Best Barber in town!
Always a great cut. Reminds me of going to my neighborhood barber as a kid.
Got my head and beard totally right with only one explanation. Great Job!
I think i found the best barber in the world. Dan is a great guy. Super easy to talk to (and i have terrible social skills). Listens to great music. And gives by far the best hair cut ive ever had. Ive been to tons of barbers and guys that have been doing it way longer than ive been alive but dan is definitely the best. His cuts cost 20 for a regular cut and 22 if youve been in need for a while but jeeze is it way worth it. He didnt just cut my hair he educated me about my hair, the way it lays, the way it should be cut, etc etc. Ill never have anyone else cut my hair again. Hands down
Felt comfortable as soon as I went in.Great conversation, better haircut.Worth $17.Going again.
Dan gave me a new hair style that I badly needed. Thanks Dan!
Been searching for a barber since I moved here and have tried a few different places without being completely satisfied. Finally, Ive found my barber with Dan.
You cant beat decades of experience.
New barber. Takes his time, ensures a good cut
Dan is a character and a great stylist.
Great all around!
Good barber.
