New to the area and wanted to find a new place to call home to get my haircuts. The gentlemen who…read morecut my hair accepts walk-ins only btw! I sat in his chair and he asked what I wanted - I showed him a photo of me with the cut I wanted and he responded with "perfect. That's all I need" Well, he started cutting away and throughout the cut it seemed like he had envisioned something else. He said "if we cut like this, it'll be better" and I hesitated on every suggestion but I said "as long as it'll give me the look like the photo I showed you". He told me no worries and to essentially trust the process. Well. Towards the end of the cut, I wasn't seeing the vision and he kept apologizing and saying things like "well I already cut over here. Can't fix it" and kept saying "ya sorry, your hair is hard to cut". He suggested "you just have to grow your hair back out" - like, come on, he was cutting 5-6inches of hair down to the skin. It'll take me months to get my hair back. At the end he said "next time bring more pictures" - I told him I had more and that he claimed that was perfect and that was all he needed. He blamed me. He still charged me full price. Seriously?? I paid anyway because I didn't want the trouble but I felt wronged here.

Literally the best haircut I've ever had in my life, not an exaggeration. I just found my new…read morefavorite barber shop, I will be a returning customer for the foreseeable future! I've been going to a SALON and seeing the same stylist for years but she was on a vacation and I needed a haircut. It's only by luck I stumbled upon this place and oh I'm sooo happy I did! The first place I went had an hour wait and the second one had a teenager working that looked 16. Right away I was greeted with kindness and respect by the male owner (I believe his wife also owns it), told him my situation, what I wanted and he certainly delivered! Like he mentioned, a barber shop is completely different from a salon, especially when it comes to men's haircuts, and I wish I understood that years ago. I'm used to a 10-15min haircut, his was easily double that, extremely detailed and meticulous! I also decided to do a fade for the first time ever, and again, I am so mad I haven't been doing it for years, completely changes the dynamic of the haircut and makes you look way younger. I saw all the reviews for Bebe (again I assume his wife), but not enough reviews for him that are very much deserved. There is no doubt that he is my new permanent barber, I will be returning every few weeks, and I will probably never go back to the salon I've been going to for 8+ years.

It's disappointing that a major error like this wasn't disclosed to the customer. This makes me question the integrity of the staff and the quality of service this establishment provides.

First visit. My barber for the past 20 yrs, Larry in Des Moines, has had a back operation and is temporarily closed. Needed a haircut, and chose this place based on reviews, glad I did. Ali, the owner, did a great job and runs a good shop. If Larry doesn't re-open (he is 72) I'll be a regular here. read more

He text back an hour later saying sorry I gotta cancel. I usually don't write reviews, but the fact that he took two hours out of my day is unacceptable. I get it people are busy, but if you're running a business you should be more professional and take the time to reach out just like barbers would like their clients to give them ample time to maneuver around client cancellations. Time is money and that goes both ways.

Traveling for work, I sometimes wait to get a haircut until I am in a business city. One thing I…read morehave found, is most black or major cities charge about $15 for a fade. At $25, I think R Barber is a little too ambitious, especially for the zip code. In Kent, the population of single mothers and families on government assistance is probably the highest in the county, but for some reason these guys are confident their pricing is fair and reasonable. Someone told me to never hate someone for their hustle, but I think when you overcharge for services, you are setting yourself up for failure. I don't care how good a haircut is, it's only worth so much money, and unless your appointments are 100% on time and every cut you give is clean, you are opening yourself up to criticism. I think you will get a solid hair cut here, but I also think you could get the same cut elsewhere for about $7 less.

But I booked with Dang after checking out the site at The Kingdom and man... smashed my expectations. I've got some length on top - kind of a pushed-back look, but it was sloppy. Not refined or even shaped right to be frank. I showed him a pic of what I was hoping for, which was a tricky long length to mid/ short sides that blended with a low taper fade in the back without it looking choppy or disconnected. Dang absolutely nailed it. The fade was super clean, the lines were sharp, and the way he blended everything together just felt super intentional and tight. If you've got a mid-to-long length style and want someone who knows how to shape you right - Dang's your guy. You can tell he's not just going through the motions - he ACTUALLY cares about getting it right and making sure you're walking out of there looking fresh. He's the kind of barber that gives you that quiet confidence, like you know you're walking out looking your best. If you were missing that feeling like I've been, highly recommend the experience.
