Ive had a couple hair cuts here and they havent given me a quality cut yet. They always go to high on the fade the blending looks unnatural. I generally try a barber a couple times to see if there is an improvement and in this case there was not. I not going back.The shop has a cool but but I need a good cut.

Stephen is a top notch master at his craft. Beyond his skills, hes an awesome guy to sit and hang out with for 30 minutes while youre in his chair. He listens to what you want, and delivers it consistently time and time again. Never once have I left Stephens chair unhappy. The combination of the above will keep me coming back as a customer as long as hell have me- I recommend him enthusiastically and without reservation!

Stephen was excellent in every way. He was very professional, very hospitable, and gave me a great fade. It was my first time there and I was impressed with how friendly and cool of a barbershop it was. I will absolutely be back. He did a great job in every aspect. It reminds me of an old-timey barber shop but in a really good way. Very classy &very relaxed I was digging it.

South hills is HANDS DOWN the best barbershop in the area. I moved to Raleigh 5 years ago and almost made the mistake of going to a chain haircut place. I walked into south hills and had to wait because they had a line of people waiting. Little did I know that the wait would be such an experience. This place is an old school classic shop where the guests wait and conversations are the start to your Saturday morning. Friendships are made simply by waiting for your cut. The guys there are professional and deliver the best cuts and conversation. Since moving to the area I’ve moved away and a 25 minute drive will not keep me from coming to the best barber shop in the area. They even have popcorn while you wait!

I was a battle for a long time to get my son to agree to get a haircut, now he asks me to take him. Stephen works wonders on his head and makes him feel comfortable! I followed Stephen to South Hills, and would follow him anywhere! Thanks for taking care of my boy!

Have been coming to this barber shop since I moved to the area from New York. All the barbers are very welcoming and very personable. I would recommend them to anyone that asks where is there to get a good quality haircut in the area. Lyle is a great barber and the prices are great! Also very clean environment.

Great local barber shop. Lee, Nick, and Jaime are all great at what they do and work hard to make you feel important.Lots of throwback decor that provide a nostalgic feeling of how things used to be but also has the modern things like TV and free wifi to make the wait worth waiting.Been getting my hair cut here for nearly 30 years. Highly recommended, you wont be disappointed.

Went to the guys place a hair soloon for men and got the worst haircut. Paid 18.75 for the hair and 8 for the beard. Worst haircut ever. I’ll let you be the judge of how great they where.

Review №24

I am so psyched that I found this place. They know exactly what theyre doing when it comes to mens haircuts, and theyre a great bunch of guys. If youre a guy (its a mens barbershop) and you need a haircut, you will be totally psyched when you go here. Bring cash or a check, they dont take credit/ debit cards. $16 bucks for a haircut, last time I went.

Review №26

No-frills, only $15 + tip, quality cut.It was my first time visiting South Hills Barber Shop and as soon as I walked I felt welcomed as if I had been coming here for years. It really is a no-frills place to get a quality cut and the smell doughnuts wafting in from next door is definitely a plus. Even though the place was busy when I went (lunchtime), the barbers did not make you feel rushed at all and ensured each person sitting in the chair got their full attention.Only complaint is that they DO NOT ACCEPT CARDS, but they have an ATM machine on premise if you forget to bring cash.

I recently moved to Cary, and could not be more excited to have stumbled upon South Hill Barber Shop. The Barber exhibited great skill and attention to detail resulting in a haircut that was much better than what I have received at other places, where I have paid over double the price of what I paid today.

Review №33

Stop looking for barbershops! I have been to at least four barbershops since moving here and every single one was horrible. These guys are awesome! I watch them cut at least eight mens haircuts and beard trims before they got to me and every single one of them was perfect! Im telling every guy I meet to come here because its so hard to find a place that really pays attention to detail and actually does an excellent job. Updated photos 5/31/18-Continue to come here after two years. The guys are awesome. Don’t go anywhere else!!

Awesome place and people! My husband and son have been coming here for a while and always come home looking sharp. I had to take my son in this morning for the first time to get cleaned up for his cap and gown pictures. He was taken almost immediately after we sat down to wait. I had NO CLUE how to tell him to cut it, but he squared him away perfectly! Everyone was wonderful and although I failed to catch any names, thank you so much for sending me away with a superior cut and a happy boy!

Some fantastic people here at this location. I travel for a living and visit a new barber a couple of times a month. These guys are some of the best. Tracey trimmed me up exactly the way I wanted it with one simple look at a photo. Don’t forget the tasty free popcorn and bottle of water on your way out. Thanks a lot fellas!

Lyle is a pro with kids. His scissor skills are unrivaled. He was great at conversation with our son while cutting his hair and keeping him relaxed and calm. Of course lollipops and popcorn are a plus. In and out for less than $20.

Old-fashioned barbershop.Three (UPDATE: Now four!) 30-something barbers. Almost always busy, so expect to be third or fourth in line. All three do good work. Pleasant atmosphere. Nothing fancy. Like stepping back half a century, but in a good way. If you want glitz, this is not your place.

Review №53

I asked for a very simple cut and the barber gave me something that resembles a Mohawk/undercut more than anything. He didn’t keep the shape my hair was in at all and made it completely uneven. Their shop was nice and I’m sure they usually do a better job than what they gave me. You win some and lose some. I guess I’ll be wearing a hat for the next few months.

Review №54

I searched around a lot after moving back to find anywhere I could get a decent haircut. South Hills is hands down the best barbershop Ive been to in NC and I trust every barber there with my haircut; the only place in my life I can say that about. Clients keep coming back and it stays busy for a reason!

Review №55

Ive been getting my haircut at this place for 15 years and it is well worth the wait. The barbers are all A+ and treat you like old gold. Ive got a gnarly beard that takes longer than my hair and its always on point. Its a classic place that has straight edge and hot towels. You can also run all the popcorn you want in you from the old time popcorn machine.

I have known Lyle, Nick, and Lee for a very long time. I have been going here for seven plus years! I always make sure to leave a tip. Military and law enforcement friendly. Let me tell you! If you want a great High&tight then its the place to go. Even after I moved over and hour away I still drive all the way for the great people and the great hair cut! Lyle you my friend are the man!!

This is without a doubt, the best Barber shop Ive ever visited. South Hills has a down home feel with friendly customers and talented Barbers. If youre new to the area, this shop, or even new to a traditional barber experience, visit them on any Saturday morning. Youll meet new friends, find the best place to grab lunch, and the shortcuts for getting there. The combination of consistently expert haircuts and friendliness has kept me a regular customer...even when I lived over an hour away!

Visited South Hills Barber Shop yesterday for the first time in 40 years.I grew up in the neighborhood and used to get my haircut there as a kid. I have recently moved back home and decided to go back and see how it went. Lee gave me a great haircut and I will be returning there from now on. Be prepared - business is GOOD. Lots of folks know this is the place for a great haircut at a super reasonable price. Thanks Lee !!

A few things to know about this place. Its very old school setting, catering to the people that really enjoy just a hair cut without all the bells and whistles, or needing of being pampered. Pice for the service is outstanding for this day in age. 15 bucks for a cut, and they even straight razor the sides if you ask for no extra cost. That now days is unheard of, everyone wants that extra dollar. So if your in the market for a great barber, a fantastic looking cut and dont care about not getting the tea tree vanilla scalp massage. This is the place for you. Definitely earned a repeat customer. Oh just a heads up, its a cash only place, but they do have an atm on site.

The guys, Lee, Lyle and Nick, all do a great job. If you are looking for some good conversation while you get a cut, then they will oblige. If you are just looking to get in and out then they can do that too. Just a great place and its the only place I will go down here in the Raleigh/Cary area.

Moved to Raleigh a couple months ago. saw this place a few weeks ago when I was getting my NC license plate. Went in today with a mop full of hair on my head and Lyle sent me home looking better than I have in a long time. Relaxed atmosphere, treat you like a friend, reasonably priced, and located right next to a great donut shop. Finally looking forward to my next cut.

My new favorite barber shop in the Raleigh area! Traditional style shop with three cool dudes that are friendly and will be sure to give you a good experience. Cash or Check -- keeping it old school!

Review №83

The worst experience ever. Wish I had never gone there. It was the day before thanksgiving. I walk in, sign in and sit down. I see that it is a very nice place and they are very friendly to the customer on the chair. I did notice that i was the only black person in there but it could of been a coincidence. I am observing the process from when someone sits down all the way til then end. When a person sits down they start them of with a hot towel and then start the cut. They have small talk and once the actual cut is done then they use the blade and end with a hot towel. That whole process took 30 mins or so. When I finally sit down, I introduce myself and tell him what I want. I started small talk with him but he wasnt having it. I tried to explain that I pride myself with this beard and that it has been hard to find a good barber and still he wasnt having it. He didnt start me off with a hot towel and the haircut only lasted 10 mins or so. I didnt get a blade or a finishing hot towel. He rushed the cut and he wasnt listening to my instructions. I left unhappy and not sure if it was for me but all of the sudden, there were cops across from the spot. I will never go back to that racist spot.
