First experience here and it was excellent! Krystal did an awesome job in understanding how I liked my hair cut, and offered some suggestions while checking in to be sure we were on the same page. About half way into the cut, I decided to make future appointments with her.Krystal gets bonus points for using a straight razor on the back and lines vs just clippers as most places do. Very polite conversation as well. She described other services available, but it didnt feel like a sales pitch. It was a hey, see whats going on with that guy? If that ever interests you, we can set that up some time.The shop is very clean and has a modern meets old school barber shop vibe to it. Lot of fun energy going on, but you didnt feel like it was over the top. Very good drink selection too.

I couldn’t ask for a better Barber. If you are looking for a Master Barber, you need to come here.They have me a complimentary beverage along with the best beard shape up and haircut to match, that I’ve ever had.You need to stop by and see what’s up. Very awesome tight knit community.

Great atmosphere. Everyone is very friendly. This mom doesnt dread coming here with her son. I hate barbershop but this one is awesome. Sly cuts my sons hair and does an awesome job. He is very kid friendly and they have their own conversations.

First time coming here . I truly love this place!!! I have been using their hair products since 2017. Wasn’t aware that their flagship barber was located here in North Carolina. I was so excited to come in and have a professional cut/style my hair. This barber is super upscale and has a very chill vibe . They even offer complimentary drinks ! I want to thank Stephen for taking care of my hair and for providing me with the best fade and customer service anyone person can ask for! I will definitely be coming back . You guys truly exceeded my expectations. And also, thank you for the beeswax. 10/10

I had a beard trim/condition done by Sheleen today and I was absolutely blown away. The shop is great, all the employees create a wonderful atmosphere, and Sheleen did an AMAZING job with my beard. As someone that has had horrible experiences before with having my beard trimmed by inexperienced people I can tell anyone that they can trust Sheleen without hesitation. She listened to my wants, concerns, and questions and not only delivered but helped me understand how to better achieve the look I want. Wonderful experience!

I scheduled an appointment at Mister Pompadour for the first time for the Friday before Valentine’s weekend, which was fast and easy to do online. The shop location was super easy to get into and out of with plenty of parking besides being a really cool spot. I arrived 10 minutes early, which was well appreciated by the owner who offered complimentary refreshments (Coffee, soda, beer, etc.). It’s a relatively small place but laid out to feel pretty open. I expected the shop to be hectic and busy, but it was more like a well-managed machine. Classic rock played over speakers, but it wasn’t loud enough to drown out the buzz of clippers and conversation. Everyone was upbeat and in a great mood. Stephan was ready for my appointment almost as soon as I got there. I’ve never been to an upscale barber before, and I have never really been one to style my hair, but my girlfriend was pretty insistent to see something special for Valentine’s day. I gave Stephan a terrible non-description of what I thought I wanted, and he immediately went to work. He refused to face me towards a mirror until he was done, and I was happy to play along. The cut seemed to go quick, as we chatted about sports and good shows. I was incredibly happy with the result. I couldn’t stop smiling, and my girlfriend loves it. I’m not sure I can go back to Great Clips now. It might be Mister Pompadour or nothing else.

Mister Pompadour is a fantastic barber lounge. Living in Philly for 10 years, I had my pick of fine barbershops, and living in Raleigh for a little over year now, I finally found an establishment that goes toe-to-toe with any former barber lounge I had used in Philly. The atmosphere is fresh and welcoming (from all the staff members) and you are greeted with a beverage, if you choose, while you wait/ for sitting in the chair. The lounge has an upscale vibe but the atmosphere immediately makes you feel like you are going to receive a perfectly crafted cut, which is exactly what happens. I highly recommend Chris, Slim. Not only was he meticulous in every aspect of the craft (hair and beard), highly knowledgeable, but the conversation is always flowing and top notch. Slim/ Mister Pompadour was trusted choice to craft my hair for my wedding two months ago. Do yourself a favor and go check this lounge out, as this is an experience, and not your everyday cut.

Wonderful haircut place with friendly and skilled people. We went through a few barbershops with my son prior to Mr Pompadour and they were all quick and uneven cuts. My son and I are very pleased with the services offered here and people are very friendly and respectfully listen to you when asking how you want your hair cut. I can highly recommend this place to anyone who needs more than a simple buzz (even though you may still wanna try!). My wife told me she likes the style and how my hair looks and my son is finally happy with his new hairstyle too :)

BEST BARBER SHOP EVER... going anywhere else would literally be a mistake! These guys have it all, and are truly taking the game to another level. This is a one-stop-shop for everything a guy needs.As soon as you walk in you’re greeting by the owner of the shop and he kindly offers you a free beer or coffee! ... Ummm thank you sir.. Next I was welcomed over to a perfectly fitting chair by the lovely Sheleen AKA LegendaryLadyBarber on Instagram. She kindly talked me through her process and cut my hair to perfection. I was so blown away by the experience that I didn’t want to leave just yet and ended up signing up for one of the Gentleman’s Facials and it was worth every penny.Also, if you’re in need of any hair care products, they have an entire lineup that they have handcrafted themselves over the past few years. The mint shampoo and conditioner is the bomb and leaves my head feeling cool and refreshed every morning. Got the men’s pomade and beard oil to set it all off and it’s killer combination. If you are looking for a new barber sharp or just in the area and need to get freshened up, look no further! This is the place to go and it’s right beside an awesome bar so you can grab a brew afterwards. Definitely book with Sheleen if you want a tight fade 😎 she hooks me up every time and cuts my hair exactly how I like it!

Mister Pompadour is an amazing barber lounge. I came in to check the lounge out before referring several of my male friends. The staff was extremely friendly, with an upbeat vibe that made everyone smile. The lounge had an upscale feel with a twist of sophistication and everyone was giving their clients carefully crafted cuts. Gentlemen...this is the place you want to go to look your best, and I highly recommend Stephen Smith! He will always keep you looking handsome!

I love this shop! Everyone is so friendly and accommodating. I’m greeted when I arrive, offered an adult beverage or coffee and wait in their beautiful and comfortable setting. Appointments are right on time or early. Stephen Smith cuts my hair and I love what he’s done with it. I also love their hair products. My personal favorite is Fireball Pomade. The Natural Beeswax Paste is great, too. Stephen is friendly and I enjoy talking with him about what’s going on in our lives. There are cool restaurants and breweries steps away, too. Great location! Stay Handsome.

I took my son for his first haircut. I appreciate the atmosphere. It is very welcoming, clean and inviting. As a woman, I didn’t feel that I was going to be harassed. It was nice to see another woman working there as well. Aaron cut my son’s hair and he was patient and he did a great job. In my opinion, it’s more expensive than what you would typically pay for a kids cut but the I will pay the extra for the customer service and atmosphere.

Stephen cut my sons hair. I put a note when I booked it that he was Autistic and to just bare with him cause he can be a handful. Everyone was so sweet and kind to him. Stephen made sure my son was comfortable and made him look fantastic! All around it was a great experience and well worth the hour and a half drive! Ill be making the trip up again in the future. This shop is one of a kind!

The service and atmosphere at Mister Pompadour Barber Lounge in Raleigh, NC is amazing.

If you care about your head, go here. This is definitely the spot to go for your haircut. I take all 3 of my sons here as well and they love going to the cool barbershop. Theyre great with the kids while still giving them fresh/cool cuts. I have nothing but great things to say about this place and its easy to see why they were just awarded the best barbershop in Raleigh.

Review №22

Well what else could one want from a mens grooming lounge 🤔 complimentary beer upon arrival ✅ Cool atmosphere amd comfortable seating to wait for your appointment ✅ And Shelan my MASTER BARBER! 😳 showed me to her chair. The most striking thing about my first interaction with her was that she didnt just start with the usual what do you want, followed by just doing said request with no explanation. She asked me about the history of my beard,how long id had it and what I wanted to accomplish 💛 then she informed me that she was going to explain and show me how I could achieve said result. In all my just short of 40 years and many a beard trim I have never started off like this. This is the best thing that has ever happened for my beard and I lol. In any case she for am example was like no straight lines on where the beard ends and the ears up begins as it makes ot look like either my beard is glued on,or imo I was walking around looking like a guess who model and after that the conversation evolved to all kinds of diffrent things amd it was all very natural. Because she cares about her craft like I care about mine. She mentioned she did body work with her dad before arriving at the profession of being a barber. Amd if you know body work to be successful you have to be detail oriented and well apprenticed and she shines I think because of this background. In any case back to my trim. She showed me that my washing and exfoliation was good but that to get what I wanted I needed to blow dry my beard straight and needed a butter and or an oil to keep it laying flat 💯 she nailed it and Slim with his Slim at the door with his sling nailed it. Just a great experience all the way around. Pricing was 1/3 less than what Im used to for not nearly the care and attention I recieved. Great brewery across the street to show off your fresh trim as we a the Glas neon shop in the building. Ya know cuz photo shoots. Anyhow hope this helps cheers!

I recently took a friend to get his hair & beard done this place was amazing! The staff were so friendly and professional Stephen Smith was the barber who did my friends hair he went above and beyond making sure he got what was needed. My friend was so happy with the cut that Stephen gave him.. I would recommend this place for your professional hair needs. I highly recommend Stephen he is one very cool and great guy he knows how to make the men very Handsome.

Slim takes pride in his work and the energy they’ve cultivated at Mister Pompadour. His advice on caring for my hair and beard, plus attention to detail/technique has really upped my hair routine. The whole team is welcoming and the beer/wine/coffee is a nice touch. The shop is inviting with great decor and music. It’s a one-of-a-kind experience that combines the nuances of old-school barbers with modern embellishments.

I can’t recommend this shop or Slim enough. From the moment I sat down I was treated like a regular and the service was top notch. I got a head shave, beard trim, and a beard treatment. You HAVE to get the beard treatment. My beard looked and felt completely different when I left and the head shave was perfect. Slim made a regular out of me after one visit and if you’ve got a beard you want to be proud of you’ve gotta go see him. Everyone in the shop was extremely friendly and welcoming and I’ll be looking forward to my next trip.

I’ve been here twice, and while both experiences were great, today’a haircut with Sheleen @legendaryladybarber was perfection. She listened to exactly what I wanted, explained what she was doing throughout (down to rediscovering where my part should be and fixing it), and even gave me a styling tutorial afterwards. I’m very particular about my hair, and I’ve never had anyone put in this much attention or effort into educating me. I’m super happy with the cut and will absolutely be back!

Honestly Im extremely disappointed, had an appoint for a hair cut and beard trim, should have been a total of an hour, my hair cut and beard trim didnt start until around 4:10 and completed before 4:35. Came back home there was still hair on my neck. Should have noticed the barber was telling me im done before even removing the tape from around my neck, tried to be fair but I dont understand how this place has 5 starts, never again. I just believe it wasnt at level of attention to detail required especially from a place like this, felt more like going to Greal clips. Also the guy at the front desk was an absolute douche, needs to learn a thing or two about manners

Brought my 5 year old son to Slim for a cut. My son typically throws truly epic freak outs when he has to get haircuts. Not this time. Slim is a miracle worker. Super professional, friendly, and knows how to put the kids at ease. He took tons of time to get acclimated with my son, give a great cut, and took breaks when necessary, including a walk to check out the neon shop around the corner, in order to keep my son calm and collected. Highly recommended!

Its been over a decade since I have been to a barber of any kind since I started shaving my head and this was my first time getting a professional beard trim. I was impressed. My appointment started on time, the staff was friendly, and the place looks amazing. Milton is the man as well. I showed him a couple pictures of what I wanted and a slight description and he went to work. Very personable and professional the whole time. When all was said and done, I was happy with the results, but the real test was what the fiance said....she loved it! I will be coming back when its time for a trim again! Thanks Milton and Crew!

Thank you, Slim and Mr Pompadour! I stopped going to a barber 25 years ago. I was going bald and started shaving my head. Now that Im working from home, I decided to see if I could grow a beard. I was successful. So after 5 months of just growing, I decided it was time to get it trimmed. First, I wrote to the staff requesting a recommendation for a barber. I was quickly recommended to Slim and set up an appointment immediately. When I arrived, Slim was ready for the beard virgin and to make me comfortable returning after 25 years. Slim couldnt have been more helpful, friendly, and professional. He spent the first 30 mins educating me on beards and beard care. Then he began. It turned out great! I had also let what hair I had grow for several weeks just in case we wanted to do something with it. Slim listened to my thoughts and ultimately recommended that we just shave it. Not a problem. The shaved head went great with the way he had shaped my beard. I couldnt be happier with my new look. I will continue to go back to see Slim and rely on his expertise to keep me in great shape! Great atmosphere and staff!

I booked appointments here for both my husband and my 2-year-old son for the first time this week. My son’s hair in particular is the awesome shaggy, blonde, perfect little boy hair every mom wants for her son, and the $5 cuts at the cheap places just weren’t doing it right. I used to leave those places in tears his hair was always so bad. Flash forward to this week, Steve the barber did a GREAT job not only accommodating my fidgety son and patiently cutting on a moving target, but also making me one happy mama by giving my kid an awesome hair cut. FINALLY found a place we can confidently keep coming back to!! Thank you, Steve, and Mr. Pompadour! My husband is happy with his cut, as well :)

Great cut & conversation, A-Aron was awesome. I didnt even have to lie when asked how do you like it? This place has a lot of character for being so new. Great location being right next to Lynnwood Brewing and they even give you complimentary drinks while ya get yo hair did

Great experience. Great space. Stephen spent more time on my beard than most people spend on a hair cut. Location is great. Ill be back every couple weeks.

For my first cut since COVID, I couldnt have picked a better spot. Stopped in while working in Raleigh and got my cut from Stephen. Great conversation, attention to detail, and the whole vibe in the shop is spot on. Doesnt feel like the guys are trying too hard. Absolutely recommend.

Decided to try a new spot since my hair was in rough shape post quarantine. The lounge has an incredible vibe with tall ceilings, good music, and highly skilled barbers. Hair turned out exactly as I wanted it.Oh and bonus: you can self book online which I far prefer.

Wonderful atmosphere and really nice employees. Stephen does a wonderful cut and is precious with his beard trims. Couldn’t recommend it more. Make sure you get a cup of their coffee while you wait, it is tasty.

This place is phenomenal, cut my 3&5year old, and they took the time to make them comfortable and are detail oriented. Place has a great vibe, and beers for dad is a big plus.

This place was great with awesome vibes and a surprisingly open atmosphere. The staff were super friendly and I really liked my barber, Milton. Chill guy, gave a great cut, and asked questions and gave his thoughts along the way, which was great because I really didnt know what I wanted going into it. Overall, great cut, great atmosphere, and would definitely go back.

My son is extremely picky about his hair cuts and I needed a new barber for him. I looked at the reviews for barber shops it the area and based off the great reviews for Mr Pompadour we scheduled a haircut with Stephen. Stephen did a wonderful job and my son is thrilled with how his hair looks.

Just got an awesome cut from Aaron. Highly recommend this studio. These are not simple stylists, these are artists.

Greeted when I arrived and offered a drink... nice! My appointment was for a beard trim and treatment. Id given myself a couple of trims since the covid lockdown and wanted to get it back under control. Slim was great to work with. He was friendly, not loud, knowledgable and provided me with a few tips on self trimming and maintenance. I was surprised to hear that the hack job on did on my own beard really wasnt that bad. All in all a great experience in a very clean, professional business. I look forward to going in for the trim at which time I will have a drink!

I found Mister Pompadour when my barber that I had been going to for five years made the trransition to this wonderful establishment. With an incredibly welcoming staff, and extremely clean and professional lounge type of atmosphere, you instantly feel welcome and great about your choice. Even if Sam had not brought me here, I would instantly become a return customer based on everything that has been mentioned. If you are looking for a barber that will take care of you while taking all the necessary precautions in this time of Covid19, this is your place!!!
