I've been looking for a good barber for my son for about three years since I moved to SML. It's been pretty difficult honestly. So when I looked on yelp & found this business I was excited & hopeful that it would work out. I made an apointment with Steve via their website for a Saturday apointment at 12:00. I drove all the way to Roanoke from the lake & at 12:00 Steve texted & said he didn't feel well and that he wasn't going to come into the shop at all that day. Now, I understand not feeling well...life happens. But to wait until the exact time of my apointment was piss poor. Now, I'll get to why I still gave this business a 5 star review. When we got the text that Steve left us high & dry CHASE stepped up & offered to cut my son's hair. He was crazy busy all by himself in the shop on a Saturday & he still squeezed us in. He took his time on my son's hair--he could have rushed him through & finished quickly, but Chase took his time & it really showed. I absolutely love my son's hair cut & I'll definitely bring my kid back to get his hair cut with Chase. read more

I waited for like 10 minutes before he finally came in the shop. Didn't introduce himself just told me to sit down in the chair. I should have got up and left the moment he had this dazed look like he was under the influence of something. Moved to Roanoke from San Diego so this was my first experience with a barber. Chase was the only one I could find with availability (should have been a warning sign) I've been getting the same cut for the past 10 years. Medium low skin fade, trim up the top. NOOO HIGH AND TIGHT. He never repeated back to me what I said, he just grabbed his clippers on a zero and ran a line up my head. He just kept cutting up and up and finally I was like dude I literally said no high and tight. At this point I already knew my hair was butchered, I didn't even want to see it, then on top of that he charges like $35 for subpar work, definitely will not be going back. read more

I think Chase gives awesome hair cuts, when he is reliable enough to show up to appointments. I booked my appointment days ago because I had pre wedding photos the day after the appointment. Chase never showed up and his coworkers say he does this all the time. Doesn't answer anyone's phone calls no idea when or if he was ever going to come in. Screwed me over pretty bad because no one else has walk in availability on a Friday, of course. I don't know if he is going through personal/substance stuff but I just hate that he can't seem to be reliable enough to keep me as a client. I need to be able to count on a barber if I take time out of my day and make an appointment. Too bad because he really does give the best cuts in Roanoke. read more

These guys accepted a 1:30 appointment via an online booking service. I arrived five minutes early and was told to wait in a chair for a couple of minutes. "A couple of minutes" turned into twenty, and nobody else was in the shop. In addition to just sitting there waiting, I had to listen to what I can assume was the owner spout her BS conspiracy theories about the Clintons. Won't be going back. read more

My first time at Barbershop on Main. Made an appointment with Chase over the phone. Arrived a few minutes early and was able to get right into the chair. Great job by Chase. My wife stated that she like the way it was cut. Okay! My wife stated that she like the way it was cut. Oh! I said that. lol Fellows when your wife like the cut, you know it was a good job. My hat's off to you Chase. Needless to say I will be returning. Paul T read more

Chase is never on time ! It's his fucking shop.... what the hell !!! I've made 2 appointments online with him and called to make sure there were no conflicts with the appointment. Got him on the phone and he said that we were all set....and he STILL didnt show up. This is ridiculous! I needed this hair cut for an out of town job interview. Now I'm fucked....its cool. I'll make it happen. Fuck Roanoke, can't wait to move out of this dump and fuck this shop ! It doesn't matter how good the hair cuts are if the fucking guy doesn't show up ! And this isn't just the only two times I've had issues. Other times that I've shown up after making an appointment online or calling to the shop I still had to sit there for 45 minutes before I'm able to finally get in the chair. If you've got to sit there that long even though you've made an appointment... What's the point of making an appointment?? If you just want to be one of the boys and hang out there all day then do you...but if you've got important things to do and you value your time (because they won't).....then this is NOT the shop for you ! read more

I got a great haircut from Chase and have already had a bunch of compliments! It's short and very edgy! Love it! Love the old school barbershop feel of this barbershop! read more

I am not one to do much reviewing. I mostly use Yelp to check out what others have written. But I have been searching for a barber since I moved back to the Roanoke area last fall, and the lack of reviews for places around here has been frustrating. So I reckon it's time for me to report on some of my experiences, so those searching after me will have a little more information than I have had. First, let me say what I'm looking for. I prefer a rather old-school barber shop atmosphere. Not big on salons, stylists or discount hair cutting chains. The barber should be able to communicate effectively, find out and understand what you're looking for and paraphrase it back to you before they start trying to execute it; it's amazing to me how rare this is. I am particular about my hair, and it isn't the easiest to get right, so at least being able to talk about it clearly helps make it feel like you can achieve the desired results. Besides that, if a barber can't effectively talk about hair, what kind of conversation can they have while cutting? There should be enough personality in the place and conversations to enjoy the visit for more than just the right cut (as I once heard it put, visiting the barbershop is like adult recess). And one thing I really look for in addition to the proper cut is a straight razor shave on the back of the neck. Barber Shop on Main was a good experience overall. Shop has a pleasant look and feel. Chase took his time and delivered pretty closely what I wanted. I feel like there is an intangible quality to getting it exactly right, which I can't honestly explain myself. But he delivered accurately on what I asked for, and I was pleased overall. And we had a good conversation. The things lacking / reasons for three stars: If I could, I'd give 3.5 stars, but Yelp won't let me do that so I'm rounding down. No straight razor shave on the back of the neck--the "razor" clipper thing just doesn't last as long or feel as good. This by itself is enough to downgrade a star, and the biggest reason I haven't committed to a barber yet, when I've otherwise gotten a satisfactory cut and experience. Chase and I were the only ones there when I was in. That's not entirely a bad thing, but it limits the atmosphere and enjoyment a little bit. And $25 is on the steeper side for a men's haircut in Roanoke. If I found everything else I was looking for, I'd quit looking and pay it with a smile and a tip. Not having found the other things, it feels a bit high. read more

Worst hair cut I have ever received in my life. First Shane was 40 minutes late and then proceeded to butchering my hair. Save yourself the hassle and avoid this establishment. read more

Got a lot of unsolicited compliments on my fresh cut. Steve took care of me; I just asked him to make me look good and he said, "I'll hook you up." He took his time with my hair and proved to be a versatile conversationalist. Definitely going back to Steve again. read more

I drove an hour from Radford and it was hands down worth the drive. I got a cut from chase and he completely transformed me. I'm African America and there was no difference with service nor the haircut. I will definitely recommend him and will be coming back regularly. read more

Courtney is an excellent hairdresser. She does a great men's scissor cut.

Steve is the best. He is so professional yet personable when sitting in that chair you can easily get lost in time (in a good way)! Every time I go there it's honestly the highlight of my day. Not only do I come out looking good, but I feel good. And that isn't something you find very often. Cheers to this man and what he does for his customers! read more

I really like this barbershop. I was sick of the bargain haircut salons. They never cut my hair quite right & never take their time. I liked the look of this place as soon as I saw it. It's simple and laid back. No frills just haircuts! Chase has cut my hair twice now and I intend on returning in the future! It's amazing how a good haircut can change your attitude. read more

I asked for a dry haircut, which he voiced no concerns with at the start. Half way through the cut, he pulls out his water body and drenched my head. I reiterated my request for a dry cut (because my cowlick falls differently when wet and usually comes out crooked,) to which he only then tells me he refuses to cut hair dry because it will damage his scissors. I told him I wasn't interested in getting my hair cut wet, so instead of just finishing what he started dry (like was made clear from the start) he charges me $25 for an incomplete cut, all the while pretentiously ranting about how much better he is than all the other hairdressers I've been to. I can't comment on how his skills measure up to the rest, since he didn't finish my haircut, but at least everyone else I've been to would let me know immediately after I make my request if they are willing to cut hair dry, rather than do just enough work that you can trap your customer into paying more money for an unfinished job than at any of those "inferior" barbershops. read more
