We are so grateful for Jennifer. She is truly an amazing person and hair stylist. We followed her to her new location even though it is a farther drive but its completely worth it! She is extremely attentive and compassionate. My son has Adhd and is on the autism spectrum and she is one of very few that can cut his hair. She gets on his level and makes it her main purpose to make sure he has a great experience!!My 3 year old saw Julia and she was very patient with him and made sure he loved his mo hawk
I made an appointment and the guy checked me in. Asked if I wanted a beer and so I embibed. The lady barber was late to get to me but made a mention of it and I appreciated that. I liked how she took care of my hair and I got a wash and a style. She used a straight razor to line me up and thats a nice barber touch. A short head massage and I was done. It was kind of pricey but I felt like it was worth it. I felt really good after so that made it so.
Sarah is an excellent barber. She takes her time, she listens with intent and delivers 100% while being completely present with you.Sarah is also amazing with kids. She took time out of her schedule to cut my daughters hair after my son and I got a cut simply out of sheer thoughtfulness.
Best place for a haircut. My hair always looks good after a visit here.
My cut was passable. Every other aspect of my visit was mediocre at best. The barber acted like she hated her job, didnt seem interested in hearing about the look I wanted, and rushed through the process. I was out the door in 14mins. Just go to Great Clips. Youll get 3 haircuts and the same quality of service.
This place is amazing. Clean and professional! My son is looking sharp for his first day!
My son and husband love coming here. Great service and great cuts.
Amazing service! They treat you like family and friends.
I have been going to BDBC for about 5 years. Have had cuts that I wasnt happy with but werent real bad. Went there Saturday the 26th and received the worst haircut of my life. I wear my parted left to right but like it short and textured. When jennifer Tyndall turned me around my hair was cut to about 3/8 of an inch, no part. To make it even worse a bad haircut wasnt even. Had to cut it down to about 1/4 inch just to even it out. Sorry,vBDBC,you have lost a customer, or should I say another customer.
Its amazing, as always. Jennifer is da bomb and treats me great ever time im in there. I will not be letting else cut my hair or beard.
Classy, friendly, professional. Got a good cut at a good price. Definitely will go again.
Julia is amazing! She saved a botched haircut from a chain barbershop, will definitely be a regular at Black Derby and with Julia from now! Complimentary coffee, amazing haircut, and super nice staff.
First time going here and absolutely loved it. They were super friendly and gave me a great cut and shape up. Will be going back.
Starr is Great! She does a fantastic job!
I had a last minute booking because the other barber at the other place I had was exposed to covid and was being safe. Cool ascetic inside, cool decor... She didnt look at the picture. The picture showed my hair double the length she cut it to. She didnt listen to what I told her to do on my beard, cut it extremely short. She didnt even cut it evenly. One side of my beard hair starts at the top of my ear, the other side at the bottom of my ear. Ive had cuts from barbers with dry and bad equipment before, I dont move at all. This was the worst cut Ive ever had. I normally cut my beard myself because not many barbers in spartanburg can cut correctly but I cant even manage this at all. She kept stabbing my ear with the guard on her clippers, there was somebodys kid running all around. Did not feel comfortable or confident getting my haircut. I think theres maybe two people there who can cut hair well. Just a terrible experience. I cant even fix it because its too short to even even it to. Had to cancel pictures that we had scheduled for over 6 months and now have to wait another 6 months before I can even get it cut again so it can be at the right length.
Sarah did a great job on my cut. Very friendly and clean place. 10/10
Great service by a staff that really seems to care. Looking forward to my next visit.
Great place! Good barbers, booze and nice location. What more do you need.
Yesterday was my first time visiting The Black Derby Barber Co. and it was great! Just be sure to make your appointment online prior to showing up (its actually really easy to do). When I walked in, I was greeted, checked in, and then asked if I would like something to drink. They had multiple different types of liquor to choose from as well as Yuengling served in a goblet, bottles of coke, and coffee. Once I was called back, Barbara was extremely friendly & helpful! I love my haircut! Now I just need to figure out how to shape my beard as well as she did. Overall, I would highly recommend this place!
I have been going to The Black Derby for my hair cut for two years now and I highly recommend them. Starr has been my barber for most of the time and she is fantastic. She always knows just what I want, and if I change it up, she gets what I’m asking for. She has done fantastic work on my hair, beard, and has even evened out my eyebrows once or twice. The owner Mary is as nice as she can be, always has an open door and a moment to chat. Their new location on Main Street is nicely furnished and the products they use are great. Again, I can’t speak enough praises for TBD. As long as I live in the area, I’ll be a return customer.Cheers!
I have been coming to black derby barber for several months. Last Tuesday when I walked in I found out my normal barber had left. So I scheduled another appointment for today with Star. I was hesitant at first because it wasn’t my normal barber. Star did a amazing job on my beard. I asked questions on conditioners and beard oils and she was very knowledgeable about the products. If I could give a 10 star review I would. I have already scheduled my next appointment with Star! I highly recommend Black Derby Barber.
A truly awesome shop very friendly and professional. Starr Lancaster is awesome will be going back for my hair and beard from now on
Have been going here for over a year now. Starr is an amazing barber. She always remembers her customers and always does a amazing job with haircuts and beard trims.The barbershop is always on time with scheduling which is convenient for the individuals with a busy schedule.The shop alone takes you back in time and always love the feeling walking into the shop for a hair and beard cut.
Horrible haircut - didn’t listen to my preferences and it looks awful. And they also weren’t wearing masks properly and coughing and joking about having been sick recently. This place is NOT safe during the pandemic. And it’s also not worth the money at all.
Awesome cut, awesome people! Will definitely be back when needed!
Ist visit yesterday. Jennifer came highly recommended and she delivered.
If you can get in it’s great best place in town
They did a great job . A little pricey.
Fantastic service! I highly recommend this place they are excellent in customer service, they serve a drink as they cut your hair or shave you! They are convenient to get to and parking is closed by! Thank you! Cost is high however I dont mind especially since I leave with a smile!
Staff were friendly and did a good job on my son and I. Will be going back.
Great service nice atmosphereStar Lancaster is the best
Looks cool but never been. Im a poor man and cant pay $40 for a haircut
Great staff, great cuts, prices are expected for the quality of cut and shaved given. Be sure to make appointments about 2 weeks in advance for best experience.
Awesome place! Awesome staff! Starr cut my hair and did a great job. I couldnt have been happier. Shes very nice and we talked throughout the entire haircut and she frequently asked me if I liked how it was coming along. I like that kind of atmosphere, with engaging employees, rather then the Hi, how are you? And no conversation during the haircut. This is my new go-to place!!
Nice little spot! By far the best trim I have had on my bearded journey. Will definitely be back!
Love this place. I told miss Amanda Harley how I want my beard cut and she nailed it. She done everything I ask and more. She was super nice and and really took her time. It is not like a franchise chain that is rushing to get you in and out. Will not be going anywhere else.
Amanda Harley did a great job cutting my hair! She was friendly and talkative, yet not obnoxious which I find is sometimes a rarity when getting a haircut! It’s a super environment and complementary drink was great. Best walk-in hair cut experience I’ve had.
Not sure what happened to all the barbers but many of my favorites have left forcing me to go to Greenville to get a good cut. I am not sure if it’s the owner or what. It’s not your classical barbershop were the owner cuts and runs the shop that way. It seems to me and I could be wrong that it’s just a space hiring random barbers under the name and isn’t a homegrown classic men’s barbershop like they have 30 minutes away. This used to be a four star plus place now it’s a one.
Star was very rude, mean and yelled because I said the hair cut did not look the way it was suppose to nor the way it looked last time she cut it. I stated that I did not like the way it looked and asked if she could cut the hair off from the top and start fresh for next time and she said NO! That she would not do that. She stated just dont pay for the cut and to find a new babrber for my son. I told her that I am going to pay but if she could just please cut the hair off from the top because I honestly do no like the way it turned out and she said No! And stormed off into an other room and slamd the door behind her.
Where do I start? I have been searching for a regular place to get my hair cut for years. I found it. Great decor, the offering of a beverage before the cut was something I wasnt expecting. It was my first time here so Im hooked. My barber, Cassie, did exactly what I had asked her to do and I say that because it doesnt happen much anywhere else for me anyway. I will return for my next cut and I wont wait because I dread going. I dont know whos idea this was but a dang good idea it was. Keep up the good work.
Ive enjoyed my past few visits here. Its actually a relaxing experience to come in, have a drink, and have someone that really knows what theyre doing take care of you. It may be pricey, but its well worth it.
Best experience getting a haircut Ive ever had. I found my new and last barber shop!
Amanda Harley did an amazing job not only cutting my hair but helping me figure out essentially what I wanted without being able to articulate it.Definitely would recommend anyone to go here. I will be again.
Great mens babes shop, beer, and a shave. And usually some sports on TV..but COVID19 has that on hold.
Good cut good service. Personable, accommodating, and skilled barbers.
Awesome atmosphere and an epic experience to match. Definitely would recommend!!
Great experience, great haircut. Justin does a great job cutting and styling my hair how I like it. The beverages before the hair cut are a nice touch as well.
Great place, they took very good care of my beard that needed to be shaped up.
Pros: Great barbers! Shop is clean and modern.Cons: They are expensive. Its very difficult to find a place to park at certain times.
Great little shop. Excellent service and always on time. Nothing like being offered a beer when. You show up!
Ive had several different people cut my hair and they have all done a great job! I always get the cut I am looking for.
Amazing barbershop. Bringing back the classic feel of a barber. Awesome atmosphere, super friendly and very talented staff. I wont go anywhere else!
Best place in Spartanburg to get your hair cut. Part saloon, grooming store and part barber. Absolutely unique place. Get a drink while you wait or shop for everything from amazing candles, socks to shave brushes and beard stuff.Justin knocked it out the park for doing my hair for the first time. No one ever does a good job at first with my crazy hair. It is a bit more than I’m used to paying but well worth it and it support a local downtown business. If you are tired of the hair cut factory lines and want more than check this place out.
Great atmosphere. Excellent staff. Reasonable prices.
Without a doubt one of my favorite places. The service is always excellent, atmosphere and vibe is always on point and the people are awesome! If you need a hair cut make an appointment and make The Black Derby Barber Co. your next stop!
The price is a little to high for the quality of work truth be told. The decor is great and the attitude of the staff is great.
Cassie does a great job with my 3 year old. She is patient and kind. My husband loves going there as well.
Great atmosphere and even better haircut. This isnt just a trim this was an experience and totally worth it. You get what you pay for, go see Starr and you wont be disappointed
I have yet to have a bad experience here. Great care is taken to make your experience an awesome one.
Ive had my beard for a round eight years and this has to be the best beard trim Ive had. They make sure that you are pleased with your cut before you ever leave so no one should leave with an issue.
1st time and I absolutely loved it. Took my 1yr old and he got his cut by Cassie and mine by Justin and I can’t be more pleased. 5 Stars !!!
Was a great experience, from beginning to end. Sara Sparks gave me a great haircut, with attention to detail, and great customer service. She recommended quality products to maintain the look and hair health at a reasonable price. 10/10 - Will return.
Overall, I did enjoy my visit. It is by far the most expensive haircut Ive ever gotten though. Justin was a great barber who seemed to take his time and focus on the details. The atmosphere inside is really nice, and complimentary drink (from water and soda to Yuengling and whisky) was a nice touch as well. The advertised back and neck massage that comes with the haircut was a little disappointing though. Its really more like a 30 second rub with a vibrating machine on your neck and shoulders. When I saw the cost of the hair cut included this service, my thought was that it is more expensive to cover a decent massage, but that wasnt really the case. I would love to come back, but I dont know if I can afford it every time I need a cut. Great business though, and glad to see places like this pop up in our town!
Excellent service! Cant be topped! Very personalized! Ask for Barbara--shes the best! 👍👍
Best place to get a haircut. My son and I both love it here
Great haircut in a great atmosphere. Complimentary drink is awesome. This place is a little hard to find if youve never been so leave yourself a little time for wandering around.
I got faded up by Justin. Great cut. Great guy. Great shop. Great atmosphere. You get what you pay for.
Awesome place, awesome staff, awesome everything!!!! There’s a variety of products and the prices are great!
Awesome job on my beard, friendly people who want to do a good job for you and wont let you leave unless you are pleased with the results
Really nice fun place to get your hair cut. Starr did an awesome job and I like having suggestions since I dont cut hair and having someone help you get your hair looking good is great
Excellent service. Ashley does a wonderful job every time I visit.
Good haircut; nice staff; cheap price
They spend so much time with you and Justin is extremely talented. Atmosphere is cool and very friendly.
Ruined my hair, 6 months later growing it out and still not decent in comparison to before. Called ahead of time to explain cut, person on phone talked up a barber who I learned at the end of my cut was a new employee not confident at all cutting my hair. Overpriced and lacking knowledge of basic haircuts.
The place is great and the people are great! It’s the little things that made the big difference for me. It’s been hard for me to find a barber shop in the area that really takes a lot of pride in what they do, Black Derby certainly does though!
Amanda Harley is the best you’ll find in the business!! Everyone should book at The Black Derby!!
Barbara always helps me look like a functioning member of society again. I would highly recommend this place.
Great first experience. Will definitely be back.
Closest to a true Puerto Rican cut from my man Justin. You got yourself a loyal customer.
This place taught me why an expensive haircut is worth it. They made me a loyal customer.
Great service. Very friendly and a great haircut.
Always have a great experience when I go in. The prices are obviously a bit more than what youll get at any of the chain shops in town like Sports Clips and others, but it is 100% worth it to me. Great environment, friendly staff, and Yuengling on tap.
Ashley and Amanda thanks for the conversation and Haircut . Ashley is an amazing Barbette..
Will never go to another hair salon ever again. Best service and hospitality.
Terry did a fantastic job!! The atmosphere and everyone there was amazing. I’ll be going back on the 30th. Can’t wait. This is what the men of Spartanburg have been needing!!!
Nice and professional staff that do great work
Best in spartanburg. Not cheap but its worth it.
They cut the undercut of my hair today. Was not pleased. Lines are not straight and it looks very sloppy.
Great atmosphere, barbers are knowledgeable and do an excellent job. Will definitely be back.
.Justin does an excellent straight razor beard trim
Made 2 appointments; messed up my beard both times. I wont be going a 3rd time.
Great staff. Comfortable atmosphere. Fabulous cuts.
This place is super fantastic! My husband loves it!
Great atmosphere, awesome experience. Will definitely be back.
Unique place, staff seemed friendly for the most part.
Great environment, friendly professional staff, great cut!
