I’ve been too many barbers for many years, and I can say by far that Victor is the best of the best! Not only does he do a professional haircut, but his level of service is top notch. You’ll notice Vic is always booked out for a couple weeks at a time. That should tell you something.

As a barber myself, it’s important to sit with someone who has passion behind what they do. I definitely got that from Victor. He cares about what he does and how you look and feel. I was in for a beard trim, and he was able to fit in a haircut as well. He took his time and masterfully crafted a great experience. I would recommend this shop to anyone looking.

I cant imagine getting my hair cut anywhere else! The location is clean, cozy, and open. They always have great music playing and I like that the two barber stations are a bit farther apart so you feel like youre getting a bit more of a personalized experience.Bly is hands-down the best barber Ive ever had and I always look forward to my appointments! Shes attentive, asks great questions and never assumes Im just getting the same thing every time. I love all of our talks and shes such a great listener...I could go on and on!Such a great spot with off-street/private parking and Ive never had to wait for an appointment.

There was nothing over the top, but this was still the best haircut experiences Ive had. Bly spent time making sure we were on the same page about what I wanted and what was possible with my hair. They took their time with the cut in a way that made me feel great about the service. It was careful, not slow.If youre looking for a quick cut, this isnt the place. If youre willing to spend an hour and get a great result, this is the shop for you.

This is the best barber shop I have ever been to. It has been a lifetime journey finding a barber who really listens to what kind of cut I want and takes the time to make sure we’re on the same page. I have had my hair cut by both Bly and Victor and they both made sure to do just that! I consistently leave Swillbarber truly loving my haircut, which I have never experienced with other shops. The environment is also clean and relaxing. I could not recommend Swillbarber more!

The prior reviews are not over exaggerating in saying that Vic spends quality time with his people. He definitely takes time with them and spares no expense in taking care of his customers. I had very long hair that he was able to trim down very nicely and maintain the flow that I already had going on. Very versatile and personable barber who excels past the “one trick fade” of other barbers out there. Will definitely be coming back.

Best barber in Rochester. And best haircut I’ve ever had. Cares about the experience and quality.

Victor was absolutely amazing. He a is master with the blade and scissor. Great prices and great atmosphere.

Had the pleasure of getting my hair and beard cut by Vic for the first time today. He was extremely professional and took as much time as needed to get everything exactly how I wanted it. I can say without a doubt he’s made a return customer out of me.

Bly is an excellent barber! I’ve been going to them for awhile now and when I come in with a cool or challenging haircut idea they crush it every time. Highly recommend.

Love Swillbarber! Great location and looks cool inside. Bly is an amazing barber (my sister!) I’m so proud of her for the work she’s done for her clients and the pics to prove it! I never felt like I had the perfect hairstyle for years and she changed that for me ❤️ I’ve had numerous friends who have given Swillbarber a try and they now go back again and again. Bly is also great with children with special needs because she is very intuitive and patient.

Vic is the best Barber anywhere! Seriously, very happy everytime I get a masterful cut from him! He is passionate and driven to give you the best experience and quality you could ever ask for. Do yourself a favor and support this local gem because Barbers like Vic dont come around very often. You wont regret it.

Bly does amazing work! I showed Bly one reference photo (not the best quality either) from a previous cut and today’s cut was spot on! I will definitely be returning!

This place does a great job at distinguishing what a real haircut should be like! Victor is a great guy, and does a fantastic job. Couldnt reccomend this place more!

I would recommend Swillbarber over and over. The atmosphere is chill and friendly and the service is very personal, plus they are LGBTQ+ friendly. Bly cuts my hair and it’s a great experience. They are always able to channel my ideas and give me a fresh cut. The attention to detail is amazing too with every trim and shave. Every time I go I get more confidence in my hairstyle. As a female I was initially nervous to go to a barber shop but all of my fears disappeared after meeting Bly and having them cut my hair. Now it’s the only place I’ll go.

Vic is amazing! Does great work and cares about his job and his customers. This isnt like Supercuts where they spend 10 minutes cutting your hair and then youre done. Vic takes his time and puts effort into your cut and makes sure it looks good. Would definitely recommend!

Bly is my barber and they are AMAZING. Thanks to their incredible work, I get compliments on my hair routinely. As a non-binary masc. person it’s not easy to find a barber where you’re comfortable and treated just like everyone else - Swillbarber is that place and Bly is that barber for for everyone (including those of us in the LGBTQ community).

Its great to have an barber that is fresh and new. Location is great and setup. Love the decor. Bly is amazing - totally takes pride and no shame what condition you are. First haircut and shave since the pandemic, truly good self-care.

Swillbarber is the best haircut in Rochester, hands down. Everything from the ambiance to the cut itself is unique, classic and personal. Victor takes his time perfecting the fine details while providing an enjoyable experience. I could not imagine finding another barber in Rochester that puts this much care and effort into their art.Every haircut Ive had here is personalized, quiet and comfortable, unlike most assembly line shops that just pump out cuts one after the other.Ive been going to Swillbarber for nearly two years, and I will never go back to the old crowded salon/barbershop style of haircut. I highly recommend setting up an appointment, because you really feel like youre getting the best there is in Monroe County.

Couldn’t ask for a better barber! He goes above and beyond! He really cares for his clients and knows exactly what he’s doing! Best barber!

Swillbarber is an inviting and super chill space. I had my undercut cleaned up by Bly. She was attentive and precise. She also straight razored my eyebrows for that extra touch. Always happy with her cuts!

Best barbershop in town. Vic treats every customer like family and is extremely meticulous with each haircut. Quality is their top priority, and it shows. Highly recommend.

Victor is an outstanding barber! His attention to detail is unmatched and Victor takes his time to give you the perfect cut, everytime. His straight edge razor work is amazing! When you make an appointment, its just Victor and you in the space. He truly is THE personal barber.

Still the best in the business

A comfortable atmosphere, and professional service. Vic made me feel welcome as soon as I stepped in the door, and makes sure you get exactly what youre looking for. Cannot recommend enough.

Victor has been cutting my hair for years and there is really no barber like him. He always takes his time to ensure that you look good instead of rushing through to get to the next person. On top of that, Victor has taken great care to keep things clean and isolated during the COVID epidemic. Victor is a great guy and and even better barber. If you need a new barber look no further.
