Shorter hair is about the best that they can guarantee. Ive given this location multiple chances, and every time I walk out frustrated and disappointed. I come with pictures of how I like my hair and clearly specify how I like and dont like it cut, and every time, they ignore it all and give me a haircut that isnt even close to what I want. I have had hairdressers try to justify how the cut they gave me is actually what I wanted when it looks nothing like the pictures I showed them. Shelling out that much money to be forced to wear a hat for a month is hardly recommendable.
Excellent experience! Great quality cut, friendly staff and nice atmosphere! Ill definitely be back.
Great service. Fantastic people. Easy to book an appointment. Highly recommend. Just finished my 5th visit and am extremely happy!
Addi cuts my hair and my 3 children’s hair and we absolutely adore her. She’s so good with my children making them feel comfortable and heard. They love a wild haircut and she delivers what they’re looking for while making it reasonably easy for me to take care of. I’m a guy who recently grew long hair and she’s helping me keep it looking great in the process of growing.
Whitney does a great women’s cut. Super friendly, easy to talk to, professional. Will be coming back for sure.
This is the place to go to get your hair cut in this area. Friendly and professional staff, and Im always in and out pretty quick. You can pick a specific person or whoever is available when booking, and Ive found that everyone is great and Ive never had a bad haircut here.
Today I not only received the greatest haircut in all of my 50 years on this planet, I had the best haircut experience as well! Addi is a consummate professional. She gave me a fantastic haircut with incredible attention to detail and made my time in the chair at Arrow fun and enjoyable.
In theory, I think this is a great place to get your haircut. The ambiance is way better than a Great Clips, plus the convenience of booking your appointment ahead of time. The staff is always friendly no matter the location. However, do not, and I repeat, DO NOT, choose a random person. I would go to a stylist that you’ve heard another person recommend. Most of my experiences at Arrow were bad and I think this is due to having curly/wavy hair. Most of their stylists aren’t familiar with it and only can cut straight hair. I think the price is pretty steep, as they end up chopping all of your hair off. To be honest you can pay $14 for the same haircut at Great Clips. Both will mess up the haircut, but at least you didn’t overpay.
I was referred to this site cause my normal site was booked, and I was not let not let down at all. If you can when booking, choose Whitney.. Haircut conversations can be awkward, you know the typical hows your day, some weather were having huh but not with her, shes funny, shes friendly, shes personable and just plain awesome. Oh, and the haircut looks good too! 11/10, shes my new go-to.
Savannah was great! Knows how to cut and style guys curly hair. She was very friendly and gave some really good pointers on how to take care of my hair.
Friendly was willing to take time to answer questions and the best haircut I have had in years!🤗❤❤❤❤❤❤
Good haircut, friendly staff. 4 stars bc ran out of beer 👎🏼
Amazing experience at Arrow! Addi has cut my hair both times I’ve gone and I’ve been beyond happy with both haircuts and the overall experience with Arrow!
Good haircut, friendly service, five stars once they bring back the beer.
I dont know that Ive ever had a better haircutting experience. Started going here when I worked in Cameron Village, and kept going even after I started working across town because Id built such a bond with my stylist, Lo! The staff is very friendly and helpful, honest about styling interests, and very professional. Highly recommend coming to Arrow CV!
Great job by Addi! Great conversation as always too.
Great service and super nice people
Good experience great service 👍 I wished she had styled my hair after cutting it but overall 5/5 stars
Arrow has great barbers, but thats far from the only positive. The overall experience makes you feel super secure that your hair is in great hands, the barbers are all really nice to talk to, and its just an enjoyable time. Back when I went to a typical barber shop, getting a haircut was just a chore that Id put off. At Arrow I actually genuinely look forward to the next time I get to go in. I HIGHLY recommend trying it out if you dont 100% love your barber already.
Decent haircut every time. Maybe a little bit pricey if you dont want anything too fancy but a good deal overall.
Always an amazing cut and friendly staff
Great location with great service! Very happy with my experience here
I went to Jazmin for over a year and never had a single bad experience. Every time she cut my hair I looked forward to it because she is so sociable and fun to talk to. Definitely makes getting a hair cut an individual experience and is a 12/10. Plus she gives a mean fade.
It doesnt matter who cuts your hair everyone here is great. Make sure to make an appointment online, even when they accepted walk-ins it was hard to get one.
A great haircut experience, Addi is a true professional. Thanks Arrow!
Was searching for a good shop in Raleigh. Tried Arrow out and it was a huge step up from your Greatclips and Supercuts. Savannah did a great job on the cut and recommended some good promenade too
Got a great cut and great service here. Kat made some cool suggestions for my hair, really appreciate her! You can tell she takes pride in her craft. Definitely will come back when Im in town. Thanks Kat!
Book in advance, and plan ahead! I’ve been going to Arrow ever since they opened in the early 2010’s and I’ve always been happy with my haircut! The people there really know what they’re doing! I don’t have a favorite barber, because they all do a good job! Make sure you book an appointment before you actually NEED a haircut because they’re usually booked a couple of weeks ahead of time.
Love it! Make sure to make an appointment. Ive been going to Lo for several years and have never had a bad cut.
Great cuts and great folks! I see Lo but Ive had plenty of fill Ina before too. Theyre all great at what they do.
Great haircut! Ask for Lo to cut your hair she is super cool and gives a really great mans cut!
Ive been going to Arrow for a few years and its always a great experience. I recently got married and they were able to accommodate myself and all my groomsmen the day of the wedding for haircuts and shaves and had a great time all around. Love the free beer
Went in there after months of just letting all hair on my head & face grow out, with no real idea of what I wanted other than the need to look normal again for a friend’s wedding next week. Catt did an AMAZING job, just freaking full of knowledge on hair and beards. I now totally resemble a human adult who has their life together! Thoroughly impressed, will go there again.
Beth is the best!! I took a shot on this place as a woman because I didn’t want to pay $80+ for a haircut at the other places in Raleigh. I make sure to book Beth every time because she does a great job with my long hair and is fun to talk to. The free beer is also a plus!
Welcoming staff, great service!
My wife and two daughters tried to walk in. Not even acknowledged and eventually left. They went to Arrow Downtown Raleigh. They could not get in for a cut, but were acknowledged and even given a coupon for later! Such a difference. We recommend the downtown arrow.
Savanah cuts a mean mullet.
Very good service. As a woman with short hair that many see as a mans cut, I was apprehensive as to what the stylists may say. However, the stylists were very kind and the lady who cut my hair was very careful to make sure I was comfortable. I recommend Katie!
Love this place. You do need to make an appointment a few days out. But I love the way they set appointments for every 1/2 hour so you never feel like your being rushed through to get to the next customer. Beer and a haircut in one place. Whats not to like?
I love this place. Everyone is friendly (and they’re pretty gracious in indulging my chatterbox kid, too). I never have to wait, very reasonable pricing and I love Beth. She has been getting me through the horrific growing-out-a-pixie stage and somehow makes it look not just okay but actually pretty cute. It’s always a delight to work with someone highly skilled and who was obviously meant to do the work she does— thankful to have found her and Arrow!
I have not gotten a haircut elsewhere since I came here. Its a hip place to get some hair cut, and their slogan, guaranteed shorter hair is only the surface of it. They also guarantee a tasty beverage, good customer service, and exciting conversation. My most recent haircut was given to me by Bethany, and she was such a good hair stylist and conversational person. I recommend this place to everyone I know who needs a haircut.
Love the people here, been going for three years now and its my favorite place to get a cut. Great design, people are easy to talk to and are very professional. If Cameron Village isnt close theyve got plenty of other locations in the area.
This place rocks! Always a great cut, option for a beer, and the ability to get the neck and hard part cleaned up between appointments. Everyone Ive had has done a fantastic job and is friendly. Been going for about 2+ years now, wont be changing as long as Im in the Raleigh area
Ive been getting my hair cut here for a couple of years and have never gotten a bad cut. Lo has been cutting my hair for over a year now, and shes just the best. I always get a cut that Im really happy with, and she does an exceptional job of remembering what we talked about the last time I was in. Definitely would not go anywhere else.
My boyfriend and I have both gone here. LOVE IT! Super friendly and accommodating staff. After moving here from Michigan, we have both had a hard time finding a great place to get a haircut. We both had Briannah and she was amazing!
Ive been going to Arrow for like at 6 years now. I have had many barbers and I can say they keep me coming back. Katie has been my barber for over a year now and always does a great job. She helps me decide when I cant really decide want I want for a new style. I highly recommend any Arrow barber shop.
UPDATE - If you’d like to go to an actual barbershop that operates like a classic barbershop. They’ll take you at LADY JANE’S. Just called after being turned down at Arrow, and they let me know they keep 2-3 stylists available for walkins. Hope that helps someone else!Don’t even try without an appointment. They’re always totally booked even though they advertise walk-ins. Very disappointing. I will never be going to this place again.
Jazmin will have my business forever. Amazing haircuts for amazing prices by amazing hair stylist. Love & 100% recommend this Arrow location
I generally get my haircut by Chelsea who has always be a pleasure to work with. I have had my hair cut by a few of the other ladies when shes needed to be out, and they have all been great. Theyve all been knowledgeable and willing to work with and/or change to what you want. The price is a bit higher than some of the general places around, but for the difference in quality its definitely worth it. They sell some products too and were able to recommend something thatd work way better with my hair.
Great experience! Ammo is amazing! Awesome!
As a woman who has worn her hair short for many years, it is often hard to find someone who really understands short hair. Today was my first visit to Arrow. Becca did an awesome job. I will be back again, and again, and again. I must say, I look marvelous.
All are skilled. Friendly, like they offer you a beer as soon as you walk thru the door. Im in and out in under 30 and I always leave pleased with the results.
This is the only place I get my hair cut any more. Love the atmosphere, and I havent had an unfriendly stylist or a bad haircut. Plus, free beer. And they give a veterans discount, which is always appreciated. Scheduling on line is easy, quick, and hassle-free, and they take reservations about ten days out, so there shouldnt be any reason to walk in.
Always a great place to get a haircut. Front staff is always attentive and all the hair stylists are always on top of their game. The complementary beer is a plus, but the meticulous attention to detail is the absolute cherry on top of the whole experience of getting a haircut at Arrow.
Ive gotten two haircuts here - first with Katie, second with Becca - and have been satisfied both times. They were able to listen to my vague description of I wanted, and then gave me better than I wanted. The beer was a nice touch, too! Make sure you get there early if its the weekend as Cameron Village can get a little crazy on parking.
I myself am a barber. I went in just to check it out and to get a haircut for the heck of it. All but one was an actuall barber. My haircut was pretty decent. The fade I got was blended exceptionally well. As for the detail part it wasnt that sharp. She had no idea how to lineup my hairline or beard with a straight razor. I do give her and others in there some respect though. They are better than most other barbers in the Durham or Raleigh area. Ive gotten some jacked up fades around here.
Im not sure if it was simply the hairdresser I was assigned and her personal opinions at play, but she seemed completely against doing anything I requested. Ive gotten my hair cut very short in a guys cut before in California and had zero issues before, but I was asked questions like Have you ever done this before? and Does your boyfriend know youre doing this?. She did offer to go shorter at a later date if I wanted it, but I would have liked to get the cut I wanted during my first appointment, since thats what I asked for in the first place. She did cut my hair, but it wasnt short enough or styled the way I asked initially, so I felt a little weird about the whole experience.
Do not expect to walk-in to this barbershop as they specify on their website. I walked in to four barber chairs full on clients, no one waiting at 6pm, when they close at 8pm, to be informed that they had 3 appointments for the rest of the day and that I would have to make an appointment for three days in advanced. Really disappointed because I drove 45 minutes just to try this barbershop out. I understand that I should just get an appointment next time, but if there are 4 barbers and only 3 appointments over 2 hours, that just doesn’t add up to me.
Really great service. Friendly, greet you with a smile, cold beverage of your choice and a great haircut for not a lot of money. After one visit, they won me over. They take walk ins, but if you are in a hurry, make an appointment, especially if you want a shave.
Jazmin did a wonderful job cutting my hair. She was fast and gave me actually what I had asked for.
Favorite place in the triangle for a cut. Id recommend making an appointment to about the frustration that some other reviewers expressed. Beth is a phenomenal stylist and a great chat during your cut, cant recommend her enough!
Great customer service every time. Katie gives the best haircut you’ve ever had until the next time you come in. 10/10.
They are way better than any other shop I have ever been to
Had a great experience. I had originally booked an appointment at 530, or so I thought. Got there at 5:20 and they couldnt find me in the system. I check my email and low and behold the time says 5:00. Zena let me know that they are booked up all night, but I was welcome to wait for any cancellations or if someone was able to finish a cut early. To pass the time I drank a fat tire and thumbed through Dwell magazine. Zena was able to get me in the chair and gave me a nice low guard fade. I am very happy that she was able to fit me in and make sure I was taken care of. Thanks gals!
I have been coming here for years and will always return because every barber is a fantastic person to talk to and after searching around, they give you the best quality for the price, cant beat them.
The location isnt bad. It can be hard to find parking on occasion though. Thats why Im knocking off a star. Staff is always friendly.
Kind, interesting staff, always a pleasant atmosphere, a free beer with a haircut (or lollipop for the young or teetotaler), straight razor shaves, student and military discounts on select days and very affordable pricing!I used to go to the Pedro Williams in Durham (same company) and Im pleased to find both locations share all of these qualities.
Solid haircuts, reasonable price. The beer is a nice touch. Been going here somewhat regularly since they opened. You can walk-in but its better to spend 5 minutes making a reservation, as they honor those over a walk in.
Called this afternoon around 4:45 to ask if I needed an appointment since this was to be my first visit. Was told that it was not needed that they did take walk-ins. Told the young lady that I was heading that way and should be there in about 15 minutes. When I arrived I was told that I was welcome to wait to see if they could get to me that the barbers worked primarily by appointment. I explained that I had just called and much to my surprise the young lady I was talking with was the one I had spoken with earlier. I asked how long it would be and was told that she wasnt sure if they would be able to get to me but if someone didnt make their appointment I would be worked in. Then another gentleman sitting nearby told me he had been waiting for 2 hours. I did not wait and I will NEVER give them another try!! One of the worst customer service experiences Ive ever had!!!
Beth is great, I have been going for 3 years now and I’m glad I found this place
Best spot to cut your hair in Raleigh, the hairdressers are the Best specially Katie she’s the best, she actually pays attention to you and what she’s doing.
Finally found my place for consistently good haircuts! Buzz cuts are only $15 w/razor finish and 12oz beer included! Beard details and shaves available. Call ahead; theyre always busy. Chelsea is my barber, and shes yet to do me wrong. If they dont mess w/success, Arrow has a customer for life (or as long as Ive got hair to cut, LOL!).
Excellent place; would like better customer service outside of the actual haircut though, like being able to cancel on the phone. Kris does an excellent job; shes in downtown mostly I believe.
Great place to get a haircut. Though you have to schedule an appointment online. Occasionally you can walk in but very rarely can you get a cut that way. 21$ for a basic mens haircut
This was my first time to Arrow and I loved it. Chelsea cut my hair exactly how I wanted it. I will definitely be going back.
The tipping system is awful. They need to change it to dollar amounts. Selected the greatest value which only let me tip $5. Realized afterwards i could have tipped more. Felt bad for my hair stylist and it made me look bad. What kind of person only tips $5 for a good haircut. Someone needs to set the default square reader tip section to dollar amounts like coffee places have started to do.
Best mens cuts around. Ive never left with a bad haircut. Free beer!
Tried three times to get a haircut at any of their Raleigh locations. Their website advertises walk-in customers are welcome, but that is not true. Love the concept but they simply dont staff enough stylists to accommodate their advertising.
Although advertised, this place does not offer walk-ins! Was pretentiously told that they could make an appointment for me 3 days later rather than just have me wait for the next available employee to cut my hair. Will never waste my time with this place again.
Great service! You definitely need an appointment but they really take the time to figure out what you like and what works best for you.
Get a haircut from Beth. She made me look like a hot young Andy Griffith. Its lit AF
Rude. Pompous. Told me I had to leave and come back for my appointment. Guess I didnt fit their hipster vibe enough to be able to sit in their establishment and enjoy a drink and the paper.
Not a true barbershop... You know a good haircut when you get one & this wasnt it.
Complimentary beer while you wait for your haircut. Not bud light or Miller either, Fat Tire and Cack a lacky. Need I say more? Oh, the haircut was good too.
Super friendly staff who know how to provide great haircuts!
Parking can be difficult around peek hours for this shopping center. Friendly staff and great service though!
Its ok but the people are pretty pretentious. Dont even try to go in as a walk-in. They call it a barbershop but its really a salon. The downtown location is a little better.
Don’t waste your time if you didn’t make an appointment. After waiting 1.5 hours the lady told me there were no available spots.
Wouldnt recommend this place for women. Girl who did my hair made me feel rushed and didnt do a good job. For $36, she didnt style it or even finish blow drying it in the end. She wasnt rude to me personally but made me feel uncomfortable as she seemed to be talking badly about one of her coworkers to another coworker. And normally, I dont care whatsoever, but it didnt help she was having a bad hair day either! A bad pink hair day. :( Ladies, dont go here.
A great haircut for a great price...love Jackie’s cut
I used to think it was an ok place to get a woman haircut, but after last time I won’t recommen this place to anyone, we had a young girl do our haircuts, she definitely didn’t have any idea what she was doing, zero technic and lack of vision, I shouldn’t let her cut my hair after seen the poor job she did to my daughter, I had to go to another salon after my haircut to fix the poor job she did on my, I’ll not comeback again to this place.
This place overcharged me for an old fashioned shave where an inexperienced barber unapologetically cut up my face leaving me burning, bleeding and with scabs for days. Poorly maintained razors, and no training or skill. The owner wouldnt offer to make things right. Never again. Try at your own risk.
Ask Beth about her #HellrideStory! She is hilarious and is an absolute hair artist!
Prompt service, reasonable prices.
Good service, but nobody ever picks up the phone there. Scheduling is very difficult.
Great service and prices for a mens hair cut.
The staff always does an excellent job!
Brought my son in as a walk in an hour before closing. Apparently they dont like to make money because they told me they were booked the rest of the night. They gave me the number for downtown which in turn was worthless because they dont answer phones even though theres a receptionist. I would have loved to sit down for a beer as I waited for my sons haircut, but they didnt give us a chance. Poor customer service and bordering on ageist.
Great hair cut! Ask for Ed when you book an appointment.
