I was 10 minutes early and Matt at first didn't say anything to me. Then said "oh are you David" after he was sitting there just on his phone. Then sighed and said "seems like everyone is just going to be early today". Which if you are trying to live up to "Grumpy Barber" they definitely did. Most importantly how was the hair cut? I showed him a picture of my standard haircut which is very straight forward and the majority of it is a buzz. He did it super fast and was super aggressive with my head. Shook it around all the time to get hair off which was not a pleasant experience. Then he was very pushy about giving a tip afterwards. When I got home I found a ton of uneven cuts and had to redo my haircut. That's always the worst thing afterwards. If you go here I hope you have a better experience than I did!

A solid men's hair shop that feels like a less-corporate version of a Sports Clips. After having…read moremy hair done here many times, I find the stylists much more friendly and personable here than anywhere else I've been. Waiting area has big comfortable chairs embroidered with the local sports team logos (pick your favorite team to sit in!) and a nice set of flatscreens to watch while you wait. The overall vibe is relaxed and friendly. I find the quality of haircuts generally pretty good, though some stylists are better than others. Only downside is that prices have risen a bit, with a standard haircut now at $25. That's slightly pricy compared to a Great Clips, but the experience is much nicer. You get what you pay for. Bonus -- if you need to kill some time, the location is 20 feet away from a sports bar, and only a couple of doors down from La Farm bakery!

Back in the Chair -- and Glad I Came Back…read more A little backstory: I used to go to Lady Jane's in Cary for years, but after my go-to stylist left, it became hit or miss. I gave it a few more chances, but eventually started shopping around -- trying barbers in Cary, Raleigh, and Apex. Nothing really clicked. Fast forward to last week -- I had an upcoming business trip and badly needed a haircut. Figured I'd give LJ's another shot as a walk-in. TL;DR: Stoked I found Felicia! Longer version: Felicia asked what I was looking for, so I showed her a photo of myself with the length and style I wanted. She was confident, knew exactly what to do, and got started right away. Weird twist -- my hair wasn't playing nice with her clippers. No problem. Without missing a beat, she switched over to a classic scissor cut to keep things moving. Honestly? I prefer the scissor cut anyway, and with her decades of experience, she clearly knew what she was doing. Bonus: Felicia's got stories. Between her skill and her personality, it turned a routine haircut into a fun, easy appointment. Will I go back? Yeppers! Will I ask for Felicia and a scissor cut? Without question.

UPDATE: Revisiting my review here for Professional Barbers of Cary, I feel they need that final…read morestar added in. Over the past few years, they have been that dependable old school barbershop that's needed. With walk-in service (no appointments, first come-first serve) and taking cash only (no credit cards, but there is an ATM on site), this little shop does what it does well. At this writing, they are open Mon-Tues and Thurs-Fri for business. I've had great visits with all the barbers here and always have a solid outcome. Within the last year or so, the interior has had an update and it looks nice while keeping that old school barbershop atmosphere/vibe. While the price has gone up a little bit over the years (as expected over time), it's still a pretty reasonable price for barber services. Going with all the stars for these guys, thanks!

Lemme just say…read more After today's visit. I'm a FadePros man. What a great experience. The vibe is cool. Music playing had me relaxed. Everyone is super friendly. I decided last minute to get a fresh cut for Easter weekend (1am Saturday morning lol ) I was able to book an appointment for 930am right online. I booked my appointment with Jorge. Straight up... Jorge is a master at his craft. Wow. He did exactly what I wanted and more (mid/high fade, scissor trim up top). He took his time. Explained how and what he was doing and why. My hair came out perfect. He explained how to tame my cowlick in the back of my head. He cut the back to minimize the chance of bumps. The exfoliating wash was great I was about to fall asleep. He even showed me some tips on how to betters style my hair. lol. When I tell you I was ready to make my next app before he finished... I ain't exaggerating. Cannot recommend Jorge and FadePros enough. Probably one of my best barber experiences ever. Cannot recommend them enough.

I recently moved here from NYC/LA and was looking for a barber who could get my cut right. After…read morereading good reviews about the shop and barbers, I decided to book an appointment. I noticed they had a female barber, Natalie, and felt like I could relate, so I booked with her. Natalie took the time to understand my hair type and exactly what I wanted with my cut and fade. We also had a great conversation during the appointment, which made the experience even better. I went to her about two or three times and was always happy with the results. Unfortunately, my last appointment was a frustrating experience. The day of my appointment, it was suddenly changed to another barber and then moved from my original 10:30 AM time to 5:30 PM without any notice. When I called the shop, I was told that I had called to reschedule, which was not true. I asked to be placed back in my original slot since the double booking was not my fault. When I arrived, Natalie was not there and her station was empty. No one explained what happened or answered my questions about whether she still worked there. The haircut I received also did not come out the way I asked. Because of the lack of communication, I will not be returning. After a long search, I was able to find Natalie again in downtown Raleigh. I will gladly drive 20 minutes to see her rather than the 7-minute trip to Fadepro. She was the one who made the experience great in the first place. Thanks to google! Found her IG: @caro_cutz

When I walked in, I found that Sherrill Tart had recruited his 3 sons into the family business. I had my hair cut that day and haven't gotten my hair cut by anyone other than the Tart family in 23 years. From the first time you walk in, the Tart's will make you feel like family. You may end up choosing your favorite between Eric, Ren, and Steve or maybe you'll just go to whoever is available when you walk in. Either way, you're sure to get a great haircut and some interesting conversation at Tart's. After a time or two, you won't even have to tell them what kind of haircut you want, they'll just know! Go to Tart's for your next haircut. It's such a better experience than those cut rate chain barber shops. BONUS! You'll be supporting a locally owned business!
