I just had the rudest encounter with the owner of this establishment. She stopped me as I was getting out of my car, put her hands on my shirt, and told me I could not park there. Then when I told her I was just picking something up, she started yelling at me, telling me to hurry up. She's Korean. So am I. I have no respect for this woman, as this is not the first time it has happened. I will not recommend any family or friends for services at this location. Especially my military friends. Go somewhere more PLEASANT. read more

Been going here twice a month for the past 6-8 months. Place is clean. Ladies are friendly and I get the cut I want. This is a barber shop. Not a fancy hair salon. read more

I highly do not recommend. The lady was very rude and rushed the whole process, not giving me the haircut I wanted. I called in and asked what time they closed and the lady who picked up told me they closed at 6:30pm. I was 30 minutes away and told her that I was going to arrive at 6:15pm asking if it was still ok to come in, accepting the fact that she might say no. However, the lady still told me it was ok for me to come in. I come in and this middle aged lady with curly hair and glasses (didn't get her name) was immediately rude to me complaining that I came at 6:15. She also made rude comments about my hair and how she hated cutting my type of hair because it was black. She said all of this in Korean thinking I wouldn't understand, but little did she know I was Korean and understood her perfectly. But I decided to let it slide. I also decided to give her a tip for being late as my sign of appreciation. Immediately regretted it. She then rudely asked me what kind of haircut I wanted. I explained to her I wanted a combover and when I tried to explain the details she interrupted me saying she got it and she just started chopping away. She was pretty confident in her technique so I thought I was in good hands, but when I saw the end product, she chopped off more than what I told her and didn't blend my sides . (I asked her to have the top portion a 3 and the bottom a 2 and blend it). The lady proceeded to say that it was my head shape. I've asked for the same measurements at other barbers and they blended it well. This was the first time I've seen the measurements not blended, but she still wouldn't do anything about it. In the middle of the cut, the lady was complaining how complex my hair was and how she had to see someone to deliver Kim chi and told me about how they close at 6:30pm. Well, my experience with this lady was not all terrible, her face brightened up when I told her I didn't want my hair gelled. That was honestly the first and only time I saw a genuine smile on her face. If you really did not want to cut my hair, you could've simply said no on the phone and I wouldn't be writing this review. Enjoy your $5 tip, you ungrateful woman. read more

Been here twice now, and they are nothing but friendly staff. Just tell them what you want and they'll do it. Constant flow of customers when I have been here. Might just become a regular myself. read more

this is the greatest place to have your haircut. I've been going here for over 20 years now they do a great great job.

Very clean facility and talented staff. We went after dinner on a weekday and didn't have to wait long to be seen. They can do an Army cut with precision and style while respecting the requirements. They are very affordable as well which. Oh lease tip them well when you go here, they deserve it! read more

This place is the best! I have been going to Barber Express for many years, and have never been disappointed. The staff is exceptionally friendly and kind. Small businesses such as this deserve respect and our patronage; may they remain in business (providing great service and haircuts to us all) for many years to come! read more

It's either no star, or 5 stars! My husband came in once for a quick hair cut, when he got home I complimented him on his "Fab hair cut!" Mentioned that he came here to Barber Express, I said, you are going there for your next hair cut! Sure enough, he is now a customer due to the excellent service, and (military friendliness) and also a back/neck massage for 8$ (mind blowing) Fantastic work, and excellent service! Thank you. read more

Been coming here for quite a while now, All of the ladies especially Chong is amazing. It's never too busy and you are always treated with respect. The prices can't be any better and the quality of the cuts are what make me stay. I'm a mixed guy, with curly hair and a difficult natural hairline. Before Chong and the shop, other barbers were turning my forehead into a movie projector and I would leave looking like Mr.Jefferson. I've seen them do cuts on a variety of people, young, old and every race available and everyone has left happy and looking sharp. They're perfect for any military cuts and are nice with the specialty cuts. I guess my only negative is if you want you hair done in a very specific way they can DEFINITELY do it. You just need to describe to them exactly what you want because if not they're going to give you the best version of exactly what you ask for. read more

After bringing my boys here for over a year I am moving on. The reliability of getting what you ask for is 50/50. The only barber with any level of consistency is the lady with glasses. read more

See all

I'm a senior, moved to lacey 2007 for retirement, went looking for a place calling out a discount for seniors and military. Tried 2 other shops but was not happy with the haircut. 3rd attempt I found Barber Express, my search halted and I've looked no further lo these last 12 years. I absolutely LOVE the neck massage following a very good haircut. As long as nothing changes Barber Express will be mys hop of choice until I can no longer take myself for a haircut. Thank you dear Ladys, we appreciate your diligent efforts. read more

I take my hat off to the ladies at Barber Express. Nowhere else can I find such consistency with my haircuts, and they get it just the way I like it every time. People often have trouble with all the cowlicks I've got in my hair, but once these ladies work they're magic they never fail to impress. They're very friendly, and they'll give you a complimentary neck massage, shoulder rub, and even clean up your neck with rubbing alcohol pads. They've got a great routine, and a clean establishment. Whoever doesn't come here regularly is missing out. read more

You get a hello when you walk in but generally no conversation, you get a neck/back rub at the end of varying quality, the hot towel on the neck is gone. The place is spotless, I will give them that. I have been going here maybe 5 years, not because they are very good, but because all of the other places I have tried have been worse. Be warned, they really want you to pay with cash. read more

I straight up hate getting my haircut and this was my best experience ever, no small talk just a haircut and just when I thought I was done she busted out a massager on my neck/shoulders. game changer I will be back! read more

I brought my little brother for a haircut i showed the lady to just trim his bangs abt say 2cm but the lady decide to take 2inches off instead. They should really listen to there customers instead of making there own choices. He grew out his hair for that spiky look. Now he cant even spike it. What a waste of my money and a waste of his hair... Very disappointing read more

I went in on a Sunday there were a few other people in there. I had to wait about 20 to 30 min for a cut, and it was just that not very good at all looks like they put a bowl on my head and cut it. I noticed that it was not going too well with the lady that was cutting my hair because the owner I'm assuming or the more experienced one came over to give my lady pointers as well as 2 of the other women. I would not recommend going here. On sundays they take cash only apparently they turn their CC machine off on Sundays. read more

I give it one star because it was horrible. The main one is so rude she doesn't care who you are ! I live in that neighborhood with my friends and we all hate how she treats us she is always get away from that stop scaring the people that one to get a haircut and they don't even cut the hair good my brother when there to get a haircut but they said they could do it and when we left she said next so don't go there please! I repeat DONT GO THERE read more

I can't say enough about this place, and I hope it's around for a long, long time! Where else can you be greeted like family, given an $8 quality haircut, and have the experience wrap up with a hot towel and neck/should massage? GREAT place! read more

I went here with my kids until one of the employees was pretty rude. The front door has a visa and mastercard logo on it so I assumed that they accept the cards. I visited this business several times and paid with card as well. On the last occasion I paid for two haircuts (for both my children) with my visa card. When I pulled out my card the lady rudely asked why I was paying with my card and stated that it costs her too much money when people use the card. This was stated rudely and she followed up with a disgruntled face, even after I apologized (why did I?). Needless to say, I will never go here again, even if the haircuts were decent. read more
