As a new Local to the area, I visited this shop in the search for a new regular barber located within a fairly convenient distance of my new residence.Overall, the shop is definitely a vibe in and of itself; mellow setting paired nicely with a chill environment. Can tend to be slightly confusing for the first time comer, depending on the service you are in search of. The tattoo parlor is what you immediately enter into, then the barber shop is set apart off to the side. If your looking to get a haircut, this spot is primarily appointment based, but will do walk-ins as best as possible.Now, to the real meat and potatoes; again, overall, haircut was decent, fair bald fade as requested, but was not sure if the barber really knew what I was requesting be done for styling the top part of the cut. In summary, paid $30 + Tip for a quick, 25 minute, fair cut. Again, and I emphasize, place is decent, but overall, will probably continue on in my search for my new regular Barber, as I feel it was a bit pricey for a cut that took less than 30 minutes && in honesty, recieved perhaps half-attention by the Barber.Might be a whole different story for regulars that frequent this place, but off first impressions, I cannot say that I am sold unfortunately.
I went to sun gold tattoo shop Thursday Aug 26 because I saw good reviews about the shop. HOWEVER, It was the worst experience Ive ever had. Let me tell you. PAUL RUIZ was working on me. He wasnt really professional and on the top of that HE REALLY DIDNT CARE ABOUT MY PAIN he was hurrying and just wanted to finish his work to get more money from me. He charged me $400. Their tattoo chair was murdering me. I was in pain for the whole time which from 5pm until 8:30pm from the chair and I ended up with unfinished work because he was too slow. I even told him please stop in the middle of the tattoo and I will come after the tattoo heals and finish it I said that because i had a breakdown and he wasnt understanding at all and he didnt stop. He just cares about money not his clients.
I want to Thank Larry my sons barber for outstanding service and wonderful hair cuts!!! He took them without an appointment and was very gracious with his time. Please go there to receive Dynamite haircuts!!!! While there I got a tattoo by Paul aka Big Daddy!! He is a wonderful soul and a Splendid Artitst! His featherlite tattooing touch and awesome conversation makes your visit go fast!!! He is extremely skilled and does Superb work!!!
A friend recommended this shop and the tattoo artist, Zoe. I’m not going to recommend or come back to this shop. I didn’t intend to anyways. It was obvious she didn’t like what I had chosen to be put on my body. She didn’t say anything about the design and even had a look on her face of disinterest, and even a vibe, that said ‘really? you wanted this?’ She really rushed through it and the lines are very shaky. It was a simple outline but still you should put in effort. Also I feel like we were charged way too much. Was told she charged by the hour and the tattoo did not take even 10 minutes.
Great experience- this is a clean and aesthetically pleasing shop with talented artists. Everyone is friendly and I highly recommend Ryan M. Since he was the artist who completed a gorgeous bottom portion to a sleeve project. I have been to him twice and will return for a completion and really any other tattoo I intend on getting in the future. He really has a large range of talent to meet the varying visions of his clients.
Amazing experience!! We are in from out of town and Daniel fit 7 of us in for matching tattoos! They turned out so great, 2 of us went back for another! Highly recommend this shop!
Great atmosphere, clean place.Paul did such an amazing job with my first tattoo. He was gentle and efficient. Despite my small tattoo, he included all the details. I highly recommend.
I highly recommend this place for your next tattoo, especially with Daniel. He did awesome work! So happy with my first tattoo, and for someone new to getting inked, I felt welcomed and got exactly what I wanted. Already thinking about where I want my next tattoo now - I’ll definitely be back!
Good atmosphere, good music, everyone has great customer service. Paul is awesome, I’ve gotten so many tattoos from him. His artwork is amazing, very creative, great detail and takes the time to make sure placement makes sense with your body, which I appreciate. I’ve only gone here for my tattoos for a while now and now my mom will only go to Paul for her tattoos also!
Daniel is by far my favorite tattoo artist. The artwork was amazing and the tattoo was better than I could have imagined. We did a full calf tattoo and it took about 4 sessions. The shop is cool and comfortable. Definitely recommend them!
Joe is very good with a lite hand. He is fast with Great line work.
Just got my first tattoo at SunGold. Ryan did a fantastic job and would absolutely 100% recommend him to anybody.
Ive been going to Sun Gold for a couple years now. Its a unique but well done establishment as they partner and share space with a tattoo shop. Sun Gold has friendly barbers with a wide variety of services. Parker is passionate about his craft and his business, attends Barber conventions, teaches his craft, and even has been on some Barber pod casts. He only hires barbers that want to join him in being recognized as the top barber shop in Arizona. Chickie and Larry are also highly skilled and produce great haircuts. Would recommend this place to anyone looking for quality barber services or some sick tattoo artwork.
The place is clean and everyone was friendly. Joe was awesome! He was quick and his work is amazing. My tattoo turned out better than I could have imagined. Thank you Joe!
Paul is AMAZING. He did 2 tattoos for me...one of which was a cover up. He worked fast but his attention to detail blew me away. You cant ask for a better tattoo artist. The man knows his ink!!!!
I’ve been there at least 5 times and still plan on going back! Thatduderpaul(tattoo artist) is an amazing artist. You can definitely tell he prides himself in his work.
Paul has always been good to work with! Does great work and is quick to communicate. Would recommend to anyone.
Been looking for a beard barber for awhile a found Parker hes very professional and knows how to cut a beard.
Perfect spot for anyone looking for a beard specialist
Daniel (owner) is a great guy, very experienced, very knowledgeable, and VERY fun to work with. Great artist, loved his work, guarantees ALL his work, and stands by it.Can’t wait to go back!
Daniel was so great! I absolutely love my tattoo - a true artist and really well done.
Parker is very professional and personable and does a great job. As a first time bread grower he has provided me with suggestions and made my shaggy face presentable.
Daniel is an amazing and honest artist. Would highly recommend to anybody.
Ryan is an amazing artist and the shop is awesome!
Been coming to Daniel before he started the company and he is so great! He did a few of my tattoos and he’s my go to whenever I need one. Good pricing, excellent lines, I always get compliments on the tattoos he’s done.
CHICKIE! Im sad to be moving states so I cant get my hair cut here anymore. Chickie was a great barber and I always left with a smile and confidence boost after a cut by her! Good prices, great location, cool atmosphere, great conversation. I never did get a tattoo here but saw tons of people seeming happy with their work.
I loved this place. Quiet yet trendy. Many designs and ideas are there for your browsing. I met with Daniel. Very talented artist. Was helpful with choosing the design. Knowledgeable, professional and a pleasure to talk with. Prices were fair and competitive. The tattoo i got is very personal and Daniel listened to the story behind it, a great listener.
Sun Gold Tattoo & Barber is easily the best barber shop in South Scottsdale. Parker is not only the best barber Ive ever had, he is also a great person. He is incredibly detail-oriented and takes pride in the work he does. Ive never left Sun Gold dissatisfied with my haircut.Also, the shop itself is cool. Great environment, good music, the option to drink local beer from the tap. Since I came to the shop when it opened, Ive not gone to any other place for a haircut. Check it out.
Cant say enough about Sun Gold. Clean, great friendly people, stylish, and an awesome atmosphere. Beer on tap, great music, and amazing tattoo work too. Chickie is the BEST barber Ive ever seen, she has attention to detail, style AND shes quick! Lines and tapers, different styles for men and women. She does it all and I know people go once and come back for her. Dont waste your money on another Scottsdale spot!!
Daniel did a fantastic job! Perfestional, clean, and way above expectations!
I live down the street from this barber shop so I decided to give it a try. It ended up being a great decision! So far, I’ve gotten two great haircuts from Chickie and plan to stick with her when I book more. I was very impressed during my second visit when she remembered the cut I had gotten the first time I visited a month earlier. I also love how easy it is to book online through their website, it’s great to avoid waiting an hour + like you do in walk-in only barber shops.
Look no further, this is the place. Everyone at sun gold is super cool. I highly recommend chickie. I have been going to her for about a year and there is no where else I will go!
Parker is amazing!! Not only is he an incredibly nice, genuine, and down to earth guy; he is seriously a master at his craft. I would highly recommend Parker for all your grooming needs. If you have a beard, you owe it to yourself to entrust Parker with making it look impeccable. I’ve never had as many compliments and questions as to where I had my beard trimmed after Parker does his magic. The shop is pretty amazing too; so welcoming and relaxing and super friendly artists. Go to SunGold and make yourself at home, grab a drink, and enjoy looking your best.
Chickie cut my hair and did an awesome job! Really good fade with the perfect length at top. I’m super picky about my barbers and she did a killer job. I’d for sure recommend.
Great tattoo shop. Lots of open space, seating. Joe Tower has been my artist for years, and we followed him here. Everyone working there is super friendly, all my tattoos done by him have turned out great. Work from their other artists looks good too, and it looks like their barbers know what they’re doing (although I’ve never used those services).
Joe Tower is my artist. Hes extremely friendly and is reworking an old ratio of mine. So far iit is coming out gorgeous and I cannot wait to finish it! The shop is beautifully decorated and clean. There is a separate area for the barbers who do excellent work/fades ( Im a hairstylist, I know!). Theres also a female barber who offers more than barbering as she can also do a wide range of color services. All of the staff is very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend!!!
My first AZ tattoo! I went to Daniel and couldnt be more pleased. I gave him the idea I wanted, he drew it up and I had my tattoo within days of first contacting him. So quick! The art is perfectly detailed with clean lines and the exact style that I love, Daniel was good at making small changes to the design after the first drawing of it and the tattooing of it took very little time with no skills spared. Definitely RECOMMEND! I cant wait to go back and get more. :-)
Ive been going to Sun Gold for over a year for my haircuts and cant say enough about Parker and Chickie. Both barbers do an outstanding job and I always leave feeling great about my haircut. You get an exceptional cut for the cost! Outstanding service every time and its super easy to make an appointment online!
Awesome place, awesome people, awesome barbershop.
The shop is well kept, everyone is friendly, courteous, and knows what theyre doing! Id recommend this place to anyone!
Chickie is the best. ive changed the way I style my hair several time throughout the years of having her cut my hair and no matter what I want to do with it she always get it done right. Shes a perfectionist and it shows. My hair looks amazing every time I leave. Also, cant beat the fun and friendly atmosphere. Highly highly recommend.
This has to be the best place to get a haircut in the state of AZ. Also a cool perk: if you want a beer they got you covered!
After finding Paul and Sun Gold I will not go anywhere else for a tattoo. Everyone is super professional and friendly.
Sun Gold Tattoo & Barber shop is hands down the best place to go, Parker is an amazing barber and a great dude. I am glad that when I moved to Arizona I found his shop. Parker and Chickie kill it every time. I highly recommend going to get a fresh cut from them. Make an appointment online and you’ll be golden.
Chickie stines did an amazing job on my hair and beard today!
Great place to get a haircut! Knowledgeable and friendly.
Found Parker about a year ago. Couldnt find anyone to trim my beard to save my life. Id white knuckle it through every trim I got until I found Parker! He is AMAZING at his craft! I dont trust anyone else to come near my beard. If youre like me and have a hard time finding the right beard guy....TRUST me when I say Parker is your guy!
Sun Gold Tattoo & Barber is the real deal! From the minute you walk in the door, its clearly evident that these guys go about their business the right way. Very clean, great setup and most importantly a very friendly staff. Daniel is working on my back-piece and does phenomenal work. His attention to detail is amazing and hes very creative and full of great ideas. Most importantly though, hes just a good guy whos as down to earth and Real as they come. I look forward to many more future visits and checking out the Barbershop also as Ive heard nothing but great things about it. Thanks Daniel and Sun Gold Tattoo & Barber!
This shop, the employees and owners are top notch! This isnt just hip shop, although it is styled really cool, it also comfortable and super clean...most of all, it has really talented and passionate artists. My brother, husband and I have known Daniel for years and his work is amazing! From the smallest lip Tattoos, to full sleeves, the result is always the same, rididculusly good tattoos. We appreciate his creativity and ability to transform a vague idea, into a tangible piece of art. His free-hand is also super note-worthy. For sure one of the best artists and shops out there.
Good place cool poeple here.
I love this concept! I followed my girl Chickie when she moved over to this barbershop. Theres no weird feeling you get in some hair salons or trendy tattoo shops. Everyone here is genuine. The place is clean and nicely set up. I cant wait to come back for my next tattoo.
Amazing Vibe and Amazing artist.. see Joe Tower hes the MAN!
I would give 5 stars for my barber experiences, Ive only had my hair cut by Parker and Larry, both of these guys do a phenomenal job.I have gotten Tattoos here from 2 different artists, my favorite artist so far is Joe, Hes efficient, accurate, and an overall good guyI did have one painful experience getting a tattoo done here though. It was a little rushed, and not exact, but it still looks good. Youll get a decent tattoo here at a fair price.
The hair cut with Chickie is top of the line!!!
This is a very nice shop great people. Paul Ruiz is awesome always does great work, very personal and professional. He has done all my work and i always get compliments of what a great job he does.
Hands down, the best barber I’ve ever been too, especially if you have a beard. Stop your search and book with Parker. Dude is talented.
I would highly recommend Paul Ruiz to anyone!! Always does an amazing job no matter what you ask of him. His attitude is amazing and his results never fail to impress. Will never go to anyone else!
Regardless if you book time in the chair with Parker or Chickie, you’re in store for an ideal cut. This shop has great ambiance and very skilled barbers. Just go there!
I tend not to go back to the same place for a haircut but Sun Gold has done a great job every time Ive been there and Ill be happy to keep going back.
I’ve been going to Parker for several years, always leaves a nice clean cut on top with nice chisel trim on my beard. I always leave his chair feeling confident.
The barber shop is on point. Everytime I get a haircut, its so fresh and clean. I like the fact the barbers clean their equipment and wash their hands in between each client. Best way to get a haircut is to make an appointment. Parker is the best barber I’ve been to. Followed him from central phoenix. You wont be disappointed.
Best barbershop in town. Im a regular and I will be for as long as I can.
Got a beard trim from Chickie, had a great experience! Great shop and atmosphere, they know what they’re doing there and it shows. I’m sold and will be back for a regular beard trim to keep it looking better than it ever has!
Sun Gold is an amazing shop, from the quality of work, the likeability of the barbers and tattooers, and very cool decor. I have been coming to Daniel for all several of my new pieces and he never lets me down even a little, he is the only tattoo artist I feel I can trust to tattoo every piece with perfect standards upheld. If Daniel is tattooing in this shop Im completely confident every other person working there uphold the same standard of quality. I have already recommended this shop to many friends and I will continue to spread the word because this shop is seriously golden.-Olivia Nuciola
Great atmosphere. Joe is phenomenal!
Been going to Daniel for 6 1/2 years and when I tell you he is the best tattoo artist in AZ right now Im not lieing! The new shop is modern, clean and a great spot for a tattoo or haircut. All the employees are professional there and always recommend this place to anyone who is interested in either. Keep up the amazing work guys 🤘
Joe was extremely professional and easy to work with. The tattoo was exactly what I wanted, finished in a short amount of time, and reasonably priced. I had a great experience!
Place looks amazing and fresh! Very modern and groovy interior and the hancho in charger Daniel is a true professional really. From amazing art and creativity, too just being a good overal guy. Meet a lad named Parker and saw him cutting up some hair, a true wizard with the clips if I must say. From fade to blade this man can do it all, he could cut a perfectly good Mohawk on a turkey on thanksgiving day. In all seriousness haircut or tat, go see the good guys and gals over there at sun gold.
Great cuts in a chill atmosphere.
Hands down the best place to go to get a tattoo!! Paul is the man!! He is dedicated to make your tattoo look amazing!!! Will return for all my tattoos and now haircuts!!
Got a fantastic flash piece from Zoe!
A beautiful and quility establishment. The best customer service and experience I have ever had. I appreciate and am grateful for the fine people that work at Sun Gold Tattoo & Barber.
Found my new barber. Parker is friendly, skilled, and precise. Place has a good vibe. Worth the drive, until they open one nearer to me.
Great experience! I called to see if they were taking walk ins, the staff told me to come on in. I got great service and was very pleased with my haircut.
Fantastic cut,my stylist seemed to relate easily what would work for me and uplifting not to feel rushed through.
Parker is awesome! Haircuts are very reasonably priced here. I will be back for future haircuts and tattoos!
Top notch environment and friendly staff. Don did a great job cutting my hair.
Excellent experience all the way around for my mom. Chickie gave her an awesome Mohawk cut just the way she likes it!
Excellent barber!
Paul Ruiz is the best!!!!! He is the only I will ever trust with my skin. He has done many pieces for me, my friends and family and never disappoints!!!
The perfect haircut exists here. Thank you!
Top notch artists and barbers. You wont be disappointed.
Got an amazing tattoo at an amazing price! The staff is awesome and super funny!
I’ve been getting tattooed by Daniel the shop owner for over 3 years now and I have nothing but GREAT things to say about his artwork and overall attitude. Come talk to him and let him make something truly great for you!
My recommendation for any haircut. 3 top notch barbers.
Cheers to Don; I showed up, said surprise me, and received the best haircut of my life. True artists grow here.
My new favorite place to get my hair did! Hahaha
Started getting my hair cut with Chickie a couple months back and she always does a solid job. Super friendly staff and a rad shop all around!
Beat cut ive ever got. Did find out you get a beer while you get a cut but they dont mention it or at least to me so I didnt know till I was told later
Daniel is a fabulous tattoo artist will always go back
Amazing artists and an awesome atmosphere!
My haircut is always perfect. Perfectly blended, exactly what I wanted.
Excellent service by very professional barbers!
High quality service and a welcoming environment.
