Since moving into the uptown area about a year and a half ago, I have tried four different barbershops. After going to the central barbershop three times, I can confirm that they are far superior to anyone I have used in the area. I've always received a great cut with a lot of attention to detail every time I've been there. It doesn't look like one of the trendy cool barbershops in the neighborhood but the quality is far superior! read more

I really like this place. I'm not the type to switch barbers often. But after moving, researching and trying out different places (for the last year) in downtown Phoenix, I think I've decided on Central Barber Shop. I've had my hair cut from a few different barbers there. Roman is quick and good. I think he might be the manager, or pit boss or something... I've also had my hairs trimmed from a gal who once asked him for advise in Russian, I think.... Anyways, she ended up doing a very good job as well. I actually prefer Roman and second the blonde gal right next to him. I've also had my hairs cut from a gentleman by the name of Boris. My hair is always done well. Pricing is decent. And Dutch Bros Coffee is right next door. North West corner on Central & Camelback. read more

Old school professional. Ask for Oksana she is the best. They are open on Sunday. Always friendly and and great conversation.

Have been going for a couple of years now. Great barbers, consistently great haircuts. Will be a patron for life.

I'm no shave-and-a-haircut snob, and to be perfectly honest, I generally find the cheapest barber shop or salon I can. After coming here, I don't think I'll be doing that anymore. For an exceedingly reasonable price, the owner spent over a half hour on my not particularly difficult hair. The ambiance in a barber shop is particularly important, and although I came when it was not crowded, I still felt comfortable--enough so that when he had finished cutting my hair, I decided that I'd get my goatee trimmed at the same time. Let me tell you--he put my home grooming efforts to shame. There's nothing like a hot towel massage, a straight razor, and high-quality lather to put you in a good mood for the day. I was debating going to the a nationwide haircutting chain a few blocks away, but I'm glad I came here. Seriously, it's only $4 more to come here for a standard haircut, and worth every penny. BTW-- Yes, he's definitely from NYC, and he's probably Jewish. I don't know about you, but I like my pizzas, my sandwiches, and my barbers to be both. read more

Great haircut experience. Old school by three "old" Russian guys. Very friendly and welcoming even at 8:30 in the morning. Got the hot towel, hot lather around the ears with straight razor topped off with vibrator shoulder and neck massage. All for under 20 bucks (not counting tip). Next time in Phoenix needing a trim I'm there! read more

Central Barber Shop - Barbers Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I have been coming here for several years. I have always been treated great by everyone. The only person to cut my hair though is Abrahigm. He has always been awesome. I get a haircut and a shave/beard trim. He is very meticulous and a perfectionist making sure you are happy. The neck and back massage, warm towels and aromatherapy are a nice touch too. Never been to a barbershop that did this before. Highly recommend. read more

I paid $20 (plus tip) for an average haircut from Nick. Next time I'll go to a Great Clips or something cheaper.

I've been coming here for about 10-12 years when the old owner, Arkady, use to run it. He has passed the keys to Roman and it only got better. The best barber shop in town. This isn't Great Clips or a chain place, this is a good old fashion barbershop with straight razors, a towel and a back massage. I cannot recommend this place enough, Roman or Ibragim are the barbers you want to see. The rest I haven't had the pleasure to work with but I'm sure they are fine too. read more

Best Barber Shop in Town! If you want a great cut and great experience you have to go to Central Barber Shop.

Visiting from San Francisco, the land of hipster barbershops, this place blew them out of the water. Expertly cut & amazing service. Came in right as they opened on a Sunday morning and they already had two guys in the seats. Good sign. I had a woman, I think her name was Oksana. She was smiling, friendly and scissor precise. The straight razor treatment, hot towel and massage were all included in a $19 cut. This crew takes pride in their work and reminded me what a barber experience should be like. read more

Walk-in and was immediately sat in a chair. They were quick and clean. Got a simple haircut but the edges were neat and left feeling fresh. Full razor shave on neck and sideburns. Would recommend this shop to anyone who wants a nice solid haircut and not have to worry about results like great clips. read more

I've been a customer of Central barbershop for over 20 years. Roman and his team are not only great barbers; They are great people and friends. Roman has had the same team of barbers for many years, and all are very good. I always look forward to my bimonthly haircuts at Central barbershop! read more

Finally, we found a place to get a great kids cut! Yes, it's $14 but a huge difference from the typical chain places. We have never had to wait very long and their attention to detail is second to none! read more

Unreasonable expensive. He claimed that he's the best in cutting the beard but he ended up cutting it too short. I'm not completely satisfied with them I was just like mmma okey. But definitely won't go back. It's just my experience some other ppl may find them excellent it just depends on your standard & expectations. read more

Best barber shop in uptown. No question. They will take care of you like family here. You deserve some special treatment for yourself today. Like spa day for us guys. Go for the works. Try them you won't go anywhere else, guaranteed. read more

I had been dreading getting a new barber ever since I moved to Phoenix a year and a half ago, but I'm so happy to say I found a place I can trust in Central Barber Shop. Got a cut by Ibragim today, and he not only did a great job on my hair, but I can tell he really enjoys his work, which made the experience all the better. I'll be returning here for my future haircuts. read more

I needed my haircut before the weekend and didn't have time to go after work so I ended up looking for a place that was open at 8AM. This place came up and had great reviews so I figured I'd try it out. I live right down the street and will continue to come here. The haircut came out great and I also got. Hot towel and a massage. Great service here! read more

Great cut with a nice massage. Not cheap, but worth it. The Russian techno needs to go... read more

Real pleasant experience here at central barber. No appointment needed. Jut walked in and Roman took great care of me. I've only been to salons so being able to just walk in was a nice surprise. (Did I mention it was my first time at a barber) I was in and out in 25 minutes. Will be back for sure. read more

Roman and Ibrahim are always giving a tight cut. Convenient location. Awesome full service barber shop. Hot towel treatment shoulder massage standard. Trim a mean brow. read more

Roman and his team are the best! Fun, friendly environment, and a perfect haircut every time. Great for kids too!

went in yesterday off a recommendation from a friend. I'm not really picky with my haircuts but the experience was great and the haircut as well. Also received the straight razor neck shave and massager. All over, it was a great and fast experience. Will definitely go again. read more

Rarely have to wait (at the right time), and always great service! Roman and Oksana are the best (the only ones I trust)! They are professional and run a clean store. The prices are very reasonable and my favorite deli is three doors down! Check out Cheese and Stuff either before or after your visit, your day will be so much better for it! read more

Wonderful, both my husband and son come here. Everyone is so nice and attentive. Can not suggest this place enough!!!

Don't get the old blond lady!!! My first time at this place and the men barbers told me to go to her. Well no wonder her chair was empty, she's a HORRIBLE barber! Hair was cut uneven EVERYWHERE, if there was any hair left! Nope, I'm not going back!! read more

If your looking for authentic barber shop this is it. I prefer Oksana when I go in. She is precise and makes sure the cut is exactly what you want, every time! The other boys at the shop are just as professional. Never had a bad experience here and their prices are doable! read more

Super friendly, stellar service, amazing value. Shop was exceptionally clean. The clipper had a suction attached, very neat technology. Just a great place for a good ol fashion shave and hair cut. I highly recommend. read more

Terrified of hair cuts for years, I decided to take my son to a barber shop. Now he looks forward to his hair cuts and asks to go all the time. Abrahigm is the best. My son refuses to see anyone else. On days that he rides his bike, they let him bring it into the store so it's not parked outside. I have taken him to low cost and high end places, and no one has ever been able to make his hair look nice. I couldn't blame them, he's got enough cowlicks to drive a professional mad, and they've all grumbled after the hour long cut. Abrahigm doesn't take long, and still gives him the hot towel and massage treatment- a place where a boy can be treated like a young man. The search has ended. read more

Best service, great experience. My son (10) won't go anywhere else now. Highly recommend- they always seem to get it right.

Great barbers they even give you a massage. I think they should massage the head to stimulate the hair growth for us guys that are going bald. Very nice guys. read more

I've been here two different times, Once for a haircut and shave, another time for a "trim". The first time the haircut was great, however after the straight shave my neck bled for days on end and looked like I had been mauled by a bear. You would have thought that was warning enough to stay away but after a few months I decided to go get a neck trim. Bad Idea. Apparently when you tell someone your growing your hair out and to leave the top and sides alone, In Russian it mean to cut EVERYTHING and leave it a little longer than normal. Then when you do ask for it to be fixed they talk crap about you in Russian. Bad Business. I should have spend the extra time and gas driving to my regular barber at 19th and greenway. read more

Today was my boys' second haircut at this place and my husband's first. My husband is very picky with his barbers and he actually liked the quality of his haircut. I highly recommend them for kids and adults! read more

Very reasonable prices coupled with extremely thorough and professional service. My go-to barber shop.

Had one of the worst haircuts ever. Don't go to the guy named nick I think that's his name he's a tall old man with glasses. I told him clearly "do you know how to do a taper" he said yeah. Ended up not even getting a taper came out with a different haircut that was really bad wasn't worth playing 18 bucks. read more

This is a pretty good place to come get a hair cut. Most of the people that work here are nice, I would recommend picking out the barber that works for you and sticking with them. Been using the same barber for about 3 years now, and the only time I have ever been less than thrilled was when I went when he was not there. Good prices, and laid back atmosphere. read more

What a wonderful gem! I had been wanting to bring my sons here for a while and boy am I glad I did!!! I came in at 8:15 and they were already busy but I was able to get both of my sons in for very nice fades! This place has all the charm of the barbershops I remember my father going to. Everyone was friendly and did an outstanding job. I even noticed one of the other men getting a haircut was being massaged by a hand held massager at the end of his service! WOW!! They are open seven days a week which is amazing !!! I know I will be bringing my business here again! read more

I love this place great cut great price and always super service, Roman cuts my hair and won,t let me leave till it is perfect not my perfect but Roman's so he wants me to look his best so it is perfect. read more

Best barber shop I have been to in a long time! I thought places like this were extinct. Outstanding shop!
