Needed a haircut last minute and could not have found a better place. Kat gave me exactly what I wanted! Solid fade, really attentive to sensitive skin, paid attention to everything I wanted done. Honestly just a great experience all around. Ill be back next week.
Had a really nice experience here with Shelly, she was patient and thorough. Great conversation, her easy-going nature helped create a comfortable experience despite the pandemic. They adhered to Covid protocols, no concerns there. Only concern was how much hair I still had on my head after the cut, usually it’s a bit less noticeable- had to shower up.
Booked a haircut over the phone for a fade but when I got to the barbershop I was told they dont do straight razor line ups... a fade isnt complete unless you get lined up around all the edges. This business should not be advertising fades when their stylists arent licensed to complete the job they claim they can complete. Wont be back!!
Can always count on Everett for a solid hair cut; great attitude and skills. Would highly recommend!
Bills been cutting my hair for years now and he always kills it. Whether I give him a little direction or I just tell him to swing away, I get compliments and feel good about the cut. Shelly and others here are always awesome as well. Highly recommend, worth every penny.
I tell myself....NO! NO! NO!..🤬But time passes, and we are in THE CRAZY!!!! I went for close 🤬🤬🤬I am solidified in what I already knew to be!!!! Im...DONE! NEVER AGAIN! EVER!!PE is kid/teen palate....FULL STOP...DONE!!!! 🤬 (That mad face is for me, thinking what I already knew...would be different 🤬🤬🤬🤬)!!!!
Made a appointment to get a beard shape up, no one was there to perform that task
This shop doesnt have that off putting bro-ey vibe most of the newer shops have. And thank you for naming it something straightforward instead of, like, Blade and Branch. Shelly does great work.
I was from out of town searching for a good Barber shop stop by here by chance very impressed with the owner and the staff I would highly recommend.
Been going here for 5 years. Love it
Shawna is amazing. Make an appointment to see her today.
Booked a same day appointment and was helped by Bill. Stay away from him. Waited a half hour longer past my appointment time for starters. He mumbles and speaks very fast. I had to have him slow down and repeat what he said. Just wanted a buzz cut and my beard trimmed. His fades were uneven and messy. He reshaped my beard (didn’t ask for that) which has become more narrow, and likes to dig the clippers as hard as he can into your head. It seemed very rushed since he was running so far behind, so I was made to suffer. I’m sure any other stylist offers better service at this shop. Try them, just not Bill.
Shawna at Refuge Barbershop is the best! She always discusses options w/ me beforehand, and is very precise and quick. I have tried a few different variants of my hairstyle (undercut) over time and I can always trust her to make it look good. The barbershop is always clean and has low-key music playing; patrons seem chill and nice. There is no parking out front of the business, but there is street parking not too far away and the Whole Foods nearby offers free parking.
Small, personal, friendly, and skilled Barbers. They dont rush your cut, and they treat you as friends. They offer beer and root beer for your relaxation and comfort. They accept walk-ins and you can schedule too.
This is where you can get an old school hair cut.Shelly was in no rush to do a great job, and her attion to detail is outstanding. Im not very comfortable when it comes to get my hair cut.. but it was a very relaxing atmosphere and Shelly made me feel relaxed and comfortable. Im looking forward to my next hair cut and beard trim.. thank you Shelly
Staff is super nice and Shelly knocked my cut outta the park! Definitely making this my regular spot.
Ive been going to Everett for the better part of a year now. The guys got skills.In addition to really clean fades, he just gets it. Hes great at accomplishing what you want, which sounds simple, but Ive been to too many people that either dont listen well enough to understand what youre going for, or just think that their ideas are better.As long as I live in Portland, Everett and Refuge Barbershop will be my only barber.Great barbersGreat serviceGreat rates.
Went here for the first time for a cut and beard trim. Wife liked how it turned out so thats a win in my book!
Love the service, quality, the conversation and enjoy using the online reservation system. Ive been receiving cuts for about four years now. Good prices. They dont accept credit cards.
Hard to find, new locations signage is hard to spot, its on the door, nestled between the other shops on sandy, across from the Hollywood theatre. Friendly people, and well done hair cut. I set up my appointment on line, and I had no wait. Everett, my barber, did a great job with my hair (first haircut in 11 months)
I’ve been coming to Refuge Barbershop for several years and ALWAYS get a great haircut! I go to Everett, who is just a really nice guy with awesome barber skills. The location is convenient and a pro tip is to park by the Rite Aid near by.
Shawna always exceeds my expectations with my haircut. She offers the best razor fade that Ive ever had and makes sure that she takes the time to make your cut look perfect. Glad I found this shop.
Had a great haircut here i’ll be going back soon! good value for good service.
I absolutely hate getting my hair cut because I have wavy/curly hair everyone does a terrible job. Kat listened to what I wanted and gave some good suggestions. At first I wasnt sure it was what I was looking for, but two weeks later and my hair has looked good every day. Id recommend Kat for sure.
Clean straight razor fade and beard trim from Everett. Also picked up a matte pomade with a really strong hold.
Drop by Refuge Barbershop for a great cut, a free beer, and a good conversation. Make sure to schedule your cut online (super easy) and Id definitely recommend Everett M. If youre looking for a good mens haircut. Havent tried out the other barbers here but based off the quality (and affordable) appointments Ive had here Im sure they are great. Great location right off Sandy. Go out for a movie or drink afterwards!
I know it will sound foolish but a couple years I decided that for the rest of my life where I have hair on my head I will only have one barber...Shelly. She is a master. Literally. Certified Master.Shelly recently opened Refuge and she and her colleagues deserve to make it big. She is a consummate professional and a pleasure to talk to.Haircuts are $25 but it is the skill of the barber that makes it worth so much more. The finishing touches of the neck shave and eyebrow trim are always included. Go to Super cuts if you want to shower after to get rid of the hair they cover your body in.If you want a straight razor shave ($25) then you will get the finest here as well. I am always amazed how long a straight razor shave lasts. Typically I get 5 OClock shadow by 11am but this gives me at least a day and half of looking sharp.
Went to get my hair cleaned up and got paired with Kat. She is super kind and super badass. My hair looks better than I couldve imagined it would, she did SUCH a great job on it. Will definitely be back!
Its simple, affordable, and super easy to book an online appointment.
Shawna is the best. I came in was not sure what I wanted, just that I wanted it shorter. I asked her to cut what she thought would look good with my hair and style and after a few questions she was excited. Ive never had a better experience at any other barber. Oh yeah I always get complements on my hair.
My husband gets his hair cut at Refuge Barbershop and they always do a good job. Hes been to 3 different stylists there and theyve all done excellent work. It seems that they only attract the top talent.
Shelly was great, she took her time and gave me the best cut and trim Ive had. Definitely recommend, great cozy atmosphere.
I’ve been getting my hair cut from Shelly for a long time now. I’m so happy I found her. The last haircut I got from her was so good I forgot my ballcap on the hat rack!
I have had a difficult time finding a good barber in Portland, but Shelly gave me a great haircut. A fun, vintage place without the pretentious hipster vibe.
Shawna is super personable and a great stylist and barber. She dyes my beard and it looks natural and i would go anywhere else for that service.
Amazing barbers that give amazing haircuts! I see Everett Moss each time, and he is a master of his craft. I would highly recommend Refuge and Everett to any one who lives in Portland!
A friendly, fun, and honest place to get a haircut, by highly skilled barbers who believe that the business can be better. Professional, yet laid back in true Portland fashion. The free beer topped off my positive experience at Refuge!
Bill, Shelly and everyone there are the best at what they do and how they do it. Bill has been cutting my hair for almost 2 years now. That is the longest that I have had one barber. Once you come to Refuge and experience the warm, positive, fun atmosphere, then you will see the is no reason to look no more. If you are new in town or here visiting, see why Refudge Barber shop is PDX most sought out establisgments with a great set of Barbers.Thanks guys for who you are and how you do it.
Great service. Everett is an awesome barber
Best barber shop in Portland hands down. I visited 13 barbershops in Portland before I found this place. Shawna is the best!!!!!
My favorite barber Shelly always delivers a perfect haircut at a very reasonable price.
Been twice, both, very good haircuts. Online appointment scheduling is very helpful.
Shelly is the best. Been seeing her for a while now and she makes my beard look great.
I havent had better service. These guys are really personable, engaging, and I like the atmosphere. The haircuts are good, too. Bill Rocks!!!
This is Portlands hottest Barber Shop. All the barbers at Refuge Barbershop are highly experinced with in their craft.
Best barbershop in Portland. Shelly, the owner, is friendly and professional and gives a great ✂. The other barbers do a great job too; you cant go wrong here.
Great haircuts and a cool relaxed atmosphere.
The people who work here are great! The prices are totally reasonable and the quality you get is unmatched in Hollywood.
The best guy to cut your hair is Everett Moss. I have had my hair cut by him many times and he always does a great job!
Kat gives me a great haircut every time and I love going here. Great vibes!
Followed the barbers from the previous shop that they worked at. Now they opened up closer to my house. Love that neck shave!
I loved my haircut from Shelly and the layout and roominess of the shop creates a splended atmosphere.
New place. Friendly, attentive staff. Got a great cut and shave.
Good atmosphere, great haircuts. An ideal barber shop.
Attention to details when cutting hair.
Awesome place for a haircut
Super cool, laid back, talented barbers with good craft, style and fashion sense. Shhhhh dont tell everyone, (okay fine tell everyone) you will love this place!
Friendly folks, great haircut, ATM inside (cash only)
Perfect cuts at good prices. Barbers are always very friendly.
Great cut every time. Online scheduling is a plus.
Good barbers good conversations
Disappointing to say the least. My 1st and last visit to Refuge began with me waiting for the stylist Bill to come out to begin the haircut. 15 minutes late Bill shows, very apologetic for keeping me waiting, smelling of cigarettes and nervously beginning the cut with out even asking me how i like my hair. So I manage to cut into his nervous chatter to let him know my preferences and as I look in the mirror at bill I catch him looking at himself in another mirror using his finger to clear his nose. This guy reminded me of a nervous tweeker and the end result haircut was a disaster.
Best haircut Ive ever gotten. Bill seemed like he really cared about his work and you could tell that he had some serious experience.
Best barbershop in the Hollywood District.
Bill is amazing! Make a point to stop in any time were nearby.
Best Barbers in town for my money.
Hours are completely incorrect. Couldn’t get a haircut here because of this.
Been going here since they opened. By far my favorite place Ive had my hair cut.
Substandard haircut for my son.
Everything about the place makes me a repeat customer. I found my place to get my skin fades until I no longer need them!
Very experienced stylists
Great Haircuts, nice conversations!
Great atmosphere, people, price, and haircut.
Chill spot.
Very serious and responsible. My puppet cat is much better
