I really dig Lyle’s barbershop. I have been going here for a while now and everyone on staff is top notch. I live pretty darn close but I would actually travel further to go see Rebecca to get my haircut. Rebecca is very professional and besides being a killer hairstylist she is also a great conversationalist. The Mrs. loves my haircut and you can’t beat the price. If you want an amazing haircut done right the first time check Lyle’s barbershop out!
This place really does great work. I had Rebecca cut my hair last time and she figured out how to manage this back cowlick thats been giving me trouble for years. Much appreciated!
I have been coming to Lyles for a while now and have had a good experience every single time. Rebecca is very skilled, and she takes the time to make sure everything is exactly how you pictured it. Really cool old school feel, with modern haircuts and friendly staff. I wont go anywhere else!
High quality old school barber experience especially enjoyed the neck shave after the cut.
Rebecca is an amazing stylist! She has been cutting my hair for years and she always takes great care of me. I never know what I want and she always seems to have a great idea that I end up really liking:)The shop is pretty rad. I really dig the retro feel to it. They keep it very clean and the staff is friendly.
Brian was awesome. It’s been a minute since my last cut, so I wasn’t exactly sure what I wanted. I gave Brian a few thoughts and he killed it. I ended up going with a mullet. Say what you want about it. After the cut wrapped up, Brian was nice enough to give me the option to chop it off the next day for no charge. Good vibes, great company, highly recommend.
Rebecca did my haircut, and she is the best! From the time I walked in she took care of me and gave me the best service! She is professional yet friendly, and excellent as a stylist. She asked me all my needs and specifications, checking in along the way, and I got a great haircut. I will definitely come back with the service and friendliness I got from Rebecca. Great job and I’ll be a repeat customer for a long time!
If youre looking for a great locally owned shop, then Lyles is it. They have this new stylist, Rebecca, who was very friendly and professional. Im very happy with the work she did and the conversations with her made the experience even better. I will definitely be returning!
Amazingly comfy old school barber chairs and staff that really care about making you feel and look good!
Sent my husband for a haircut and he came back a new man! They did a great a job cleaning him up and making him look handsome as hell. He really enjoyed the relaxed environment and conversation. I know he will go back 👍🏻
Great haircut but take cash only. Easy to schedule.
Excellent quality, Amazing staff. Rebecca was profession and joy to interact with. I was very happy with my haircut and will come again!
Gave me a great haircut with Rebecca!
Recently went to Lyles for the first time. It has that traditional barbershop vibe that most establishments try to create. Very authentic and great atmosphere. I decided to go to Lyles because of Rebecca Sweesy. She has been my barber for a little over 5 years and she is AMAZING! She is very professional and has great attention to detail. She takes great pride in her work and it shows in the quality of her haircuts. If youre booking an appointment online I highly recommend booking with Rebecca!
Hands down the best barbershop on the east side of town. I’ve lived in Portland for 16+ years and had been faithfully going to another independent barbershop for years that grew way too big for its britches. Enter Lyle’s Barbershop. The minute I saw this place tucked in the up and coming North Tabor neighborhood, I loved the nostalgic ol’ skool Americana vibes from the outside. But architecture is one thing, a legit barbershop is another. After getting trimmed for the past decade at my prior “barbershop”, I was always bummed to never have a solid standby barber that knew my hair and remembered my last cut. It was always somebody different. A rotating door of stylists that would try to stir up meaningless conversation while handing me another adult beverage to justify their prices. Not at Lyle’s. I’ve had my hair cut numerous times by the owner Brian and his trusty sidekick Kris, as well as another former stylist. Every time has been a rememberable experience. All the stylists are friendly and remember my cut from the last time—no questions asked! Not that you couldn’t change up your hair recipe, but I adore the no-nonsense approach. I always leave with a memorable experience and great conversation. I feel like Lyle’s Barbershop has built a 1950’s time machine with the availability to still book via your smartphone. Just remember to bring cash. No cards accepted. Yup, they’re that ol’ skool!
Kris has always been consistent and excellent customer service every time! Always feel well taken care of in his chair
This is my favorite barbershop. I got an amazing cut, and they use a straight razor on the sides, which perfectly complements there vintage aesthetic. The guys who work there are great. We never run out of things to chat about. Brian, the guy who cuts my hair, gave me a Godfather Trilogy DVD set because we talk about movies a lot. 10/10 all around.
Excellent barbers with exceptional customer service. Highly recommend
As always one of best haircuts of my life awesome and made me feel 5 yrs. Youger !!
Great baber shop. Been going there for years now.
Go see Rebecca! She does a great job, every time.
Lyles reminds me of the old barbershop I got my hair cut at as a kid. Cheerful barbers doing amazing hair with good conversation. Its never difficult to get in for a cut and the coolest thing? My barber has the same name as me! Spells his Kris but its close enough. Always makes us laugh. Cash-only but theyre chill if you forget and need to go across the street to an ATM. Convenient bike parking out front, too. As long as theyre open, Ill keep coming here. Thanks Kris and the rest of the crew!
Great service, Brian is super friendly. Love this shop.
Lyles is the best in town! Quality barbers and a rad shop to hang out in and get your haircut. To say they keep it clean is a understatement. That place is spotless and professional.
Rebecca is the only one I trust to keep my head shaved down. In fact, Im overdue for another shaving soon!
Kris has cut my hair every time. I leave with a better cut every time. Its a relaxing place for me. They handled the hurdle of me wearing a mask while getting a haircut well. It helps to have a mask that just loops around the ears and not your whole head. I was happy I waited for Lyles to be open again before getting a haircut.
Brian does and awesome job everytime period. He is a professional barber and really knows his craft. Also he is incredibly likable, friendly, and affordable. What isnt to like?
Great shop with awesome barbers!Fair prices too dont miss this one
Outstanding service. Great staff. Good value. Wonderful experience. Definitely going to be a returning client.
Fantastic place! This is my new go-to. Very friendly, thorough, and an all-around quality experience.
Do not get your haircut here you will leave upset and unpleased and you will look opposite of what you wanted this place is a joke of a barber shop. NOT TO MENTION THAT THEY OR AT LEAST CHRIS WITH A k.lol, SO KRIS IS ONE OF THE RUDEST MOST UNPROFESSIONAL PERSON I HAVE EVER EVER EVER CAME ACROSS AT ANY DIRT OF BUSINESS. HE SHOULD BE DEMOTED & OR FIRED. I HONESTLY CANT BELIEVE THAT HE HAS A JOB ANYWHERE ESPECIALLY AT A BARBER SHOP. IEIEIE IF YOU CHOOSE THIS PLACE.. GOOD LUCK HAVING ANYTHING CLOSE TO WHAT YOU ARE EXPECTING FOR a CHOP!!!! If I could give NEGATIVE STARS I WOULD
By far the best place to get your haircut. They all are very talented. Prices are great for what kind of haircut you get with precision and quality. I would recommend this place to anyone that wants a great haircut. Very friendly barbers as well!!
Great to be able to get back to the shop. Always professional... and have put safety measures on place. Glad to see they weathered the shut down.
Friendly and fast. Will definitely use again!
My barber, Brian, is very professional. He made me feel comfortable, as it was my first time in a barbershop. He listened to my ideas and gave me a clean undercut. He even put in a little design, for fun. I enjoyed the visit and I would come again. Price was $30 for cut plus $5 for tip.
Samantha really took her time to listen and understand what I wanted, as well as check in with me as we went to make sure she understood correctly.I had the feeling she was really paying attention in every way from beginning to end, which made me feel very comfortable.I leave with the feeling that I just had the experience I always wanted from getting a cut, but never quite found until today.Highly recommend.
I’ve been going to Lyle’s since they opened, and I’ve been more than happy with my cut every single time. Brian and Chris are experts and easy to talk to. Even when I know I’m a month or two overdue, I am always welcomed back. Highly recommend!
Hands down the best place to get a haircut. Old school atmosphere like I remember as a kid, hot shave cream and a straight razor finish, not much better than that. Brian and Chris make you feel at home so please give them a go you will not regret it.
Best. Haircut. Period. Kris is the best!
I cant say enough good things about Lyles Barber Shop. Ive been coming here for well over 4 years and dont intend to change barber shops anytime soon.
Brain is the a beast with the clippers🔥 he takes his time and ask lots of questions and give recommendations for your hair or hair style you want. I always walk out feeling like a new man. Make an appointment and tell him RJ made you do it lol 😂 great guy🔥
Great cut, good conversation!! Ill be back!
Both Brian and Kris are kind, professional and talented barbers. I don’t trust anyone with my pomp and Kris is my go to. I would go as far to say they are the best barbershop in Portland. REAL classic shop with none of that fake vintage barbering they have elsewhere. Always giving you their undivided attention and great conversations. Can’t give enough praise!
Kris the best.
One of the best in town. I’ve visited many of the “top” barbers in Portland, but rarely find a reason to keep going back. Lyle’s is a no BS barbershop that offers amazing service for a fair price.
Pretty much the best barber experience Ive had. Kris was super kind, personable, professional, made great conversation, and just made the whole thing really pleasant even though I was not looking forward to getting my haircut. He made sure to cut my hair EXACTLY how I wanted it, wait... better than what I wanted. He always asked me if things looked right, and if they didnt, he was more than happy to make adjustments. So seriously, just 6/5 stars.
Bryan is a real professional. Highly recommend him.
Great people great cuts great vibes!
Owner Brian is a very experienced barber in that he knows what you want with little to no detail, plus a quick cut. This barbershop is top notch and accommodating to all who come in. Great team, atmosphere and best cuts this side of Portland.
When getting a cut I look for three things in this order:1. Quality - Did I leave the shop feeling like I could go straight to a job interview or fancy dinner without having to go home, shower, and style my hair?2. Speed - Was I able to get in and out in a timely fashion or did it feel like I was sitting in that chair forever?3. Price - Did I feel like I got a deal on the cutting of the minimal hair I have left?Brian blew each of these things out of the water and was a pleasure to visit with; personable, fair, skilled. I truly look forward to my next cut.
No better shop in town. Brian and Chris are incredibly friendly, professional and talented!Look no further for your next barber!
Best haircut experience I’ve had.Kris communicated really well and gave great recommendations.I felt like I got way more than I payed for, best part was there wasn’t the sense of getting rushed out so they could get someone else in the chair. Best haircut I’ve gotten in a very long time.I will definitely be a regular.
Found my barber shop! 10/10 I highly recommend them.
Trust the reviews. These guys are outstanding. Where many shops (that charge way more than this place does) lack professionalism and courtesy, Lyles has these things in spades. No pretentiousness, no gimmicks. Just had my first cut there and will definitely be back.
Great cuts by great people.
Great spot. I went in for a shave and Brian was skilled at his craft, a pleasure to do business with, and charges a fair price. The next time I’m in the mood to treat myself to a hot shave, I’ll go back to Lyle’s.
I’d say it this way: My wife compliments the cut every time I come home. Brian is efficient but not rushed, great conversation, and really remembers you.
I had a stupendous experience, got a marvelous beard trim and shave from Brian. He was friendly and knew how to help a first time patron decide what to have done. I love how it turned out and will definitely be back.I highly recommend this establishment.
Brian is such an awesome person and one hell of a barber. Being a girl with a pixie cut most barbers try to avoid me but Brian rocked it and I swear it’s seriosuly one of the best cuts I have ever had. Will recommend him to anyone looking a nice clean cut and fade. The shop is also so amazing and has such a good vibe to it. Very old style barber that you feel you can just grab a beer and hang out in. Love this place and will be going back!!!
Fantastic barbershop! Kris is kind, professional, and cuts great hair. Couldnt recommend enough.
Kris has been my barber since they opened on 60th and Glisan. Great cut and conversation every time! Peaceful, welcoming atmosphere in a classic space. Thanks for helping me look my best!
Hallelujah, Ive found my barber shop. Very welcoming and inviting, and the guys that work here are fantastic! Kris gave me exactly the cut I wanted, and I left super happy. I will be back, and cant wait to tell everyone I know to come here. Things to note: make an appointment online and bring cash. Cards not accepted.
I would do 5 stars but they dont allow kids under 10.
Fantastic barbershop! Stopped into Lyle’s for a haircut and beard trim while traveling to the Portland area. Brian was friendly and gave me a sharp cut and trim. He had a lot of enthusiasm for his work, and the city of Portland. Very professional cut and also good conversation.
Awesome job. Great decore. Made me feel and look awesome. Perfect for guys with beards.
Was able to walk in around noon on a Saturday, no appointment but got a seat right away. Great haircut. Great conversation. Great atmosphere.
Easy to book. The two barbers were really friendly and took their time to talk though and understand what I wanted. Great service, reasonable price.
Ever since my favorite Barber moved away after his shop burned down, I have been on the hunt for someone who matches the level of quality I had grown accustomed to in a haircut. I had been to Rooks, Rudys, Bishops, and several other establishments before finding Chris at Lyles Barbershop. He exceeded my expectations and did it all with exceptional customer service. Im very picky about my cut, and he allowed me to stop several times during the cut to make sure I was getting exactly what I wanted. Youve earned a regular customer, thanks Chris!
Lots of better places to get a better haircut for cheaper in Portland. Theyll probably give you better beer too.
, my husband got his haircut here recently. We were a little worrisome because we never been here before and we never heard anything about it. He was very happy with the haircut he got and it was significantly cheaper than the other place we normally go. This is probably going to be the new spot for my husband. Its also very very close to our home so it makes it super convenient to get there. They have a nice open space and three separate chairs. The hours arent too shabby either! You want to make sure to schedule your appointment online so you dont have to worry about not getting a spot.
I hesitate to leave a review because I don’t want to share my secret oasis, but Brian and the rest of the team at Lyles deserve all of the credit in the world. I can’t say enough great things about this barber shop. Brian is an incredible barber. He listens to you carefully and gives you the cut you want. His haircuts are always sharp and grow out very well. He takes care of the little details that most miss. The service is always above and beyond and includes a straight razor clean up. There really isn’t a thing if change. You always feel welcome and cared for from the second you enter the shop to the second you leave.
Got my haircut here wanting to find a nice, chill place to start getting my haircut regularly. And I can say that after one visit this will be my new spot to go and get my haircuts from now on. Would recommend!
Two guys run the place and they both give out really fresh haircuts. Its a nice small place. Parking sucks, but the haircut makes up for it
Great haircuts !
I love coming here! Brian is so attentive and positive. He makes you feel completely comfortable and puts all of his effort into every cut. Just make sure to bring cash he is currently cash only.
Only place to go for a razor fade, everyone there cuts great. Family ran, get in at the rite time, and the games on.
Got a haircut with Josh and he did a great job. I’m very particular with the way I like it to be cut and he nailed it. Happy, great experience and would come back to him again!
Damn good haircut. Its shockingly rare to find a barber that understands how to do a fade without turning it into a high and tight when you want it short on top. Go here. Oi!
Outstanding cuts by Brian. The shop is a breath of fresh air in the world filled with Great Clips. Love the aesthetic. From the classic chairs to the 1950s fridge filled with beer, its got style.
Brian is the best. I stop in for a haircut (almost every month) when I’m in Portland for business.
Great place, old school feel, excellent service for a fair price, barbers address always friendly
Great barbers, friendly, funny and a very clean shop
New to the neighborhood so figured Id try this place out. Really great atmosphere, good price, great conversation, and of course a great haircut. Definitely gonna be my go to barbershop.
The environment here is always a lively one as well as the professionalism.
Great service! Good guys.
In town for a wedding and got a rare walk in opening! Great cut and beard touch up from Brian! Excellent quality in a timely manner!
Brian and I forgot what the other homie call. They are both hella koo and chill. Their skills, I dont need to tell yall. Come and see for yourself. Oh, it is Chris, my bad Chris.
Brian is awesome with his service! Hell help you out with any style you need. Cordial and awesome, everything you need from a barbershop is gonna be right here!
I have high standards when it comes to barbering, but these dudes met and exceeded it. Ill definitely be going back, and would recommend.
Great employees, cool old timey feel to the shop and great prices with great cuts!
I dont normally review places, but I felt the need to review this one. I have so far had 2 cuts by Lyle and 1 by Kevin and they have been exactly what I wanted. In my experience, I go to a barber shop and they have that one cut that they give everyone. The pdx slick style. Lyles actually listened. They are also very upstanding people, never putting down competition when even when given the chance. They use the community craftsmen to renovate their shop which I find to be refreshing. They are investing in the community and if you have the choice, I would whole heartedly recommend you invest in them. I would give it 6 stars if they ever offered me some of that whiskey I stare longingly at. Lyle, if youre reading this, how does one become a member of the whiskey club?
Brian and Kris are the best barbers in town! Lyle’s Barbershop is a neighborhood staple. Great company and a perfect haircut.
Great place! Got a fantastic cut. Very nice people, casual atmosphere.
Great haircut at a reasonable price. I love the old-timey vibe.I was able to get in an appointment on my lunch break and setting up that appointment was nice n easy thru their website.
Been here twice and it has been top notch both times. Great haicuts. Brian is always very friendly and very real.
Kris cut my hair. Great hair cut, great conversation, cool place. Highly recommend.
I typically don’t leave reviews but Lyles deserves an exception. Was in a crunch to get a haircut and dropped in. Best haircut I’ve ever had hands down. Brian brings back the real barbershop. It’s clear he loves his job. Incredibly skilled. He wants you to look sharp. I highly recommend Lyles.Right now he’s just set up for cash, but if you forget, there are ATMs next door. Swing in, have a beer, enjoy good conversation and walk out looking better than you have in a long time. I guarantee you won’t regret it and you’ll be glad to have found your new barber.
Lyles is the spot for an exceptionally clean haircut and a great experience!
