Came into Northwest Barber Association the day before my best friends wedding met the owner Cody and he set me up with some drinks then went on to get my haircut by Kyle Graf and he absolutely killed it I didn’t know what I wanted and he showed me some stuff and helped me out haircut fade with zero lines! and a straight razor to finish. It was absolutely amazing! 10/10 would recommend anyone come into this shop best prices and quality I have found here in Portland. Thanks Kyle and Cody I’ll be back!
Loved this spot! They offered me a drink right when I walked in and made me feel right at home. The amazing artwork throughout the shop helped. I wasnt expecting a hair wash but they insisted so... of course. It was so relaxing and it was not a bad feeling to have their hands massaging into my scalp. I didnt quite know what I wanted but they gassed me up and made me feel beautiful. They gave me great face framing layers and told me how to to style it and everything. Excited to go back for the good talks and the good style.
I have been getting my hair cut by Breezy for years and its always a pleasure to come here, hang out, and get a cut. Fun, clean, professional shop, they always make sure I walk out feeling good about how I look and the pricing is very reasonable for the great level of service. Would recommend to anyone, but especially if you want a modern style with tight, clean lines.
Good cuts solid crew good location.
Lauren is a Rockstar. I followed her over from her last spot because she does great work. Most of the time she has free reign to do my hair and always comes out great. Cant recommend her enough.
My barber Lauren was fantastic! She takes her time and has such a great eye for detail. Highly recommend booking with her!
Need a super fresh fade? Breezy is your person! Always does an exceptional job on my hair and I could not be happier!
Isaiah is the best! Love how he makes me look and feel great after a haircut! Just do it 😉
Awesome interior, very clean/sanitary and great music. Definitely my new go to spot. Got a haircut with christine. She did an amazing job and was great about communicating with me about what she was thinking about doing to my hair.
Honestly had high hopes seeing that this place is 5 stars. My haircut was beyond rushed and it seemed like there was no attention to detail. The overall haircut was average at best and it lasted 15 minutes max. I then had to pay $40 for a haircut that seemed like my barber put no care into. Highly disappointed in my visit and how rushed I felt out of there. I was going to ask to get the front cleaned/edged up and he had already took off my robe. Never going here again.
Ive had a awesome experience with Kyle he always takes care of me and gives me the best hair cuts Ive ever had thanks Kyle!!!!
I’ve been going to Brielle since I’ve moved here which was almost a year ago. She has always got me in last minute no matter the day or time. (I need to get my schedule figured out). She has MAD skills for all styles and brows. I always let her do whatever she wants because I know I’ll leave looking fresh AF. I get so many compliments from the hairstyles she gives me along with the line work and fades/Style. I 100% would recommend getting your hair done by Brielle as her customer service is top notch. She is very personable, sweet and kind hearted. Brielle is quick and efficient and has Mad skills. Brielle is the one who even did my wedding burst cut/color/ and line work. I have originally very dark Mexican/Asian brown hair and Brielle was able to bring it to the color that I wanted first time. (Very. Very. Whitish blonde.). If you are reading this to find yourself a barber 100% go to Brielle, her insta is (Steezbybreez) you can see how much talent she holds.
Got a great cut on my first trip there.
Isaiah always gives me a cut where I leave feeling great. Cant wait til they get to serve a drink with a cut.
Ive been getting my hair cut with Chachi for many years. Do yourself a favor and head in for a cut or a shave with one of the fine folks at the NWBA. Classic Portland barber decor and always good vibes and good music.
The best barber shop in town, hands down! Super chill environment, the staff is so polite and welcoming and you even get a freakin beer when you walk in the door. Talk about the right way to do customer service! 👌🏼I have had a top quality cut every single time I come here. Superb establishment. Highly recommended. Check them out!
Go see Lauren. She is phenomenal!
Nice folks and great 90’s country
Excellent location, excellent staff, excellent atmosphere. The haircut you receive is a direct reflection of their professionalism, you will not be disappointed. This is one of the nicest barbers storefront I’ve ever been to, and I’ve been getting my haircut once a week for over 22 years, all over the world.
Lauren Carey is AMAZEBALLS! You need to go see her
The shop has a really cool vibe with great barbers.
I have been following Cory Lee for years, spanning 5 locations. Now that he owns his own spot its good to know that I shouldnt have to drive to a new place any time soon. Fun space, conveniently located. The crew is awesome, top to bottom. A great place to get a hair cut, I always get all taken care of. Definitely worth checking out.
Booking is super easy online but Isaiah has always got me in when I needed. They seem to have a well oiled machine where everyone shows up on time and they are there ready to work. Shop is extremely clean, has music or the game. People have a sense of community there and know all the good food places. Isaiah has been cutting and dying my hair for 3 years and always has something fun and interesting to do (I am moderately easy going and just want something different usually) My partner went in yesterday to get a totally different hair cut that before and the person that helped him did a great job and took their time shaping his beard. I would say if you are looking to change up your look and also need beard trimming and maintenance this would be the place for you.
Friendly employees, Chill atmosphere and most importantly, quality haircuts
This is a great shop. It is new and clean. The people are creative and I couldnt imagine anything that they would not be able to do. The do a classic style with touches like shaving the back of the neck. I recommend this shop for family and friends. Parking and traffic can be tough.
I’ve been here twice and been amazed both times. I got my hair cut by Nate, he gave me the fastest skin fades I’ve ever had and they looked great.
Finally found someone who understands how to cut my girlfriends hair. Seriously. She no longer comes home with an old lady haircut.
Kyle was amazing. Love this place
Was turned away at a (very) nearby barber who didnt expect walk-ups. At first I was annoyed, but turned out to be glad that happened. Nate and the staff at NBA welcomed me in immediately. I got great service and of course a great hair cut. Will definitely return.
Easily the coolest place for a cut. Kyle is my guy, but i know all the other barbers in there are as dope as they come.
Its a barber shop, but new, clean, and shiny. The staff are appropriately hip, and there is the expected options of soda, beer, or whiskey. Im very happy with the cut I got from Logan, and I know Ill be back.
Love this place! Friendly with quality barbers. Isaiah Mark always takes good care of me. Highly recommend this place!
Three friends of mine suggested I go to Nate specifically, and a few others suggested this shop. I wasn’t disappointed and even a few weeks later I’m still happy with my cut. I’ll definitely be returning for more business. It’s a great environment, and parking isn’t impossible in the area.
I went to Kyle Graf for a long hair cut, and I definitely will be going back! Ladies don’t be tricked into thinking these dudes can only shave a head. Kyle loves cutting longer hair and did a lovely job! Love the shop, the vibes and everyone is super nice! Thanks again Kyle ( :
Have been going to Nate for years. This is by far my favorite shop he’s been at, great atmosphere, easy to get to, cheap parking, and free beer! You absolutely cannot go wrong with a cut from Nate, and most likely anyone else at this establishment. Always worth the trip
Exceptional establishment with exceptional barbers. Brielle does an amazing job with my hair even so with little direction. She simply understands what I want, and how best to go about making me look great.
Great experience at this shop. I’m always a little nervous about anyone cutting my hair since it is curly but Chris did a great job. He listened to what I wanted and made it happen. Definitely going back for my next cut!
I’ve been visiting Kyle at NWBA for the better part of a year now and have yet to leave disappointed.The atmosphere is great and the easy appointment system keeps me from waiting an hour to get in a chair.Good fades and good conversation. I definitely recommend a visit.
Quality, quality, quality, Northwest Barber Association is my go-to barber. Ive had 4 haircuts from Chris so far and every time I walk out feeling like a new person. He has a passion for what he does and it makes for a first-class experience. Id recommend Chris and Id recommend Northwest Barber Association if youre looking for the best!
I go to Chris every time for my haircuts. Portland born and raised, I’ve been all over the place before, and Chris Morgan is awesome. Great guy to chat with, down to earth, easy going, and very talented with the way he cuts hair. Be sure to ask him about his special “fade in the back!” Where he makes my haircuts actually look better longer as it grows in.If you’re looking for a new barber, this guy is the real deal.
This place is awesome! I get my hair cut from Chris and not only is he talented as a barber but he’s also a super chill genuine guy. The venue itself is nice and well kept also! I’ve been able to talk to other workers there as well the past few times I’ve gone and everyone was so friendly. I always recommend this place to everyone I know as they don’t dissapoint.
Friendly and great service
I cant believe I have not reviewed this place before now. Great staff and a chill vibe. Since I started getting my hair cut here I cant go anywhere else.
Nate is the best. Hes been cutting my hair for 3 years. Love this spot.
This is the cutest little place!! Easy to find, adorable little plants, fresh atmosphere and cold beverage while you enjoy your cut. All the products smelled amazing and are cruelty free 🐰 Nate did my undercut and I am very picky and he made sure I got exactly what I asked for. I will definitely be going back!
Great staff of barbers. Chris Morgan was the barber that led me to NW Barber Association and I’ll be back. Super close to my spot and Chris’s attention to detail with my hair is why I tracked him down at his new place of work. Highly recommend checking this place out.
Recently went in for my first cut at this place and had an overwhelmingly positive experience. The shop is nice but not overdone, the staff was friendly, and it’s centrally located. I’m fairly particular about my hair and have been to several barber shops in the area- Throne, Cloak and Dagger, and Modern Man (before closure) and I can confidently say that Nate Easton, now with Northwest Barbers Association, is one of the best around. Would highly recommend.
Great shop, great conversation, and more importantly great people. I’ve been getting my ears lowered by Cory Lee ever since I moved to Portland, coming up on 5 years now. It’s always a struggle to find someone who can cut thick Asian hair, and Cory finally ended that for me. He asks the right questions to get to know you and will work work with you to get one of the freshes cuts you’ll ever had. We’re at the point where I trust him to freely do his thing.
Nate it the best. Long drive for me but worth it.
If youre looking for a great barbershop where the barbers are consistent, fun to hang around, and will leave you looking like a million bucks every time... then look no further! Isaiah has been cutting my hair for about a year now and the dude is freaking awesome, and very talented at what he does. This is a fantastic shop. As long as theyre open, Ill keep coming back!
Ive been getting my hair cut by Cory for about 6 years at this point, and have followed him from his old shops to this one. Great looking space, solid barbers, and reasonable pricing. Parking can be a little tough, but thats not on these guys. Proud of you Cory!
Best cut you can get in PDX...I’m here on a schedule like clockwork for a proper fade from the best. Isaiah has mad skills, and so does every other barber here. You wont be disappointed with a cut here. The shop is huge and you’ll always feel welcome.
I had a great experience at this shop! Everyone working was really down to earth and friendly. Nate gave me the best fade I’ve had. Way better than the last place I went to. I’ll most definitely be coming back every time I need a cut.
Had heard good things, but honestly wasnt too impressed... Barber wasnt very friendly and haircut didnt turn out as good as other places in Portland (especially for $40).
It is outstanding that Cory Lee (formerly of Brick & Mortar and & The Modern Man) has found his own piece of the pie. This is a barbershop that cares about one thing only: giving great haircuts. Theres no ego here or aspirations to be the next Paul Mitchell or rockstar that just happens to cut hair on the side. Its a cadre of Portland veteran barbers that want to give great service. Their prices are reasonable to where a grown man doesnt question if hes at his wifes high-end salon or a barbershop to get a fade and straight razor shave. You will not be disappointed.However, plan an extra 5 minutes arrival due to the parking around here is trash.
This place is so Amazing. Possibly the most amazing barbershop in Portland! (Of which there are many😏) The passion and dedication to excellence the people at this shop exemplify, will shine through all the way to the root of each tiny little hair on your head! Snipped just the way you like it. Products to Knowledge, you are among the best in the business. I felt like a ⭐️
Logan hooked it up clean last minute and was super friendly and great convo! Ill def be back ✊✊
Got referred by a co-worker to check this place out and it is awesome! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a great Portland barber! Drinks and atmosphere were a plus*
Just received a hair cut from here today. I can’t be happier with the service, styling, hospitality, and professionalism I was shown!Alycia took the time to give me a great cut and style and I am very happy I decided on this barber shop! I will be returning for future cuts.Highly recommended!
Isaiah was great! Very professional and friendly. The shop was very laid back and comfortable. I enjoyed my long cut appointment with him. Check out his work on IG!
Came in for my first cut as walk a walk in. Amazing service got greeted at the door and they had an amazing drink selection! My hair cut came out amazing from Chris. I would recommend northwest barbers to anyone in the SE area Ill be back forsure.
Best customer experience ever. Professional employees and very welcoming. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an awesome haircut.
Great experiences here at this shop! Appointments always run on time, the space is clean, and Nate does consistently great work. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming here.
I followed Nate here from his last spot...great hair skills, consistent results and a super solid guy to boot! Absolutely recommended!
Ive been going to Kyle Graf for a few months now. Consistently excellent work, highly recommend.
Amazing place for a haircut and or shave. All the staff are very welcoming. You can tell these people are experts in what they do.
Perfect haircut everytime. All the staff know their stuff and have years off experience. Havent messed up once and in fact go above and beyond every time. Take their time and dont cut corners. Awesome place.
The barber shop crew here are the best! Always good for a laugh and a classy cut. Ill be coming back here again.
Rad shop, super nice and humble owner, who also gives a fantastic haircut, even for a picky guy like me. Highly recommended.
Awesome place! Great environment, friendly folks, and fantastic haircuts. I’m always excited to go back when a haircut is needed.
Awesome bunch of barbers in a welcoming, friendly, chatty environment. Kenzy is incredible at what she does 😎
I have been going to chris for the last few years to have my hair cut and beard trimmed and as been nothing but awesome everytime. He is consistently improving his knowledge and pushing more and more to kept up with modern cuts and styles. NWBA is a awesome shop and it is only going to get better. All the barbers there are great people and have been in or around the industry for years. Great prices and good selection of beer too
I just checked out the shop and couldnt have been more stoked on my cut and bead trim. First class barber shop 🙌🏼Thanks fellas!
The only place I will go. I drive all the way from bend just to get my hair cut here
I drive a hour to get my haircut here everytime. Chachi is my man, but I believe everyone here in steller at what they do! Come here and get treated well!
Amazing place. Chris goes above and beyond what any other barber has done for me in the past.
