This is a review for a STRAIGHT BLADE SHAVE service. I've been on the hunt to find someone who not only can do straight blade shaves, but also line design work; I get a facial design called the "Tony Stark". Thing is, to do it right you must craft 35-45% angles which is not easy at all. I did a lot of research & came across Cloak & Dagger, so I decided to drop in, check it out, and find out who's got the skills. [[HIGHLIGHT]]After talking to the guy at reception, he recommended EDEL (Miami Cuban transplant).[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This guy knocked it out of the park! He absolutely crushed it. I came in with a big photo example, and he did it exactly as it looked within 45mins. This is absolutely my new guy! Highly recommend. read more

Seriously the best cut a man can get in Portland! [[HIGHLIGHT]]From the moment you walk in the vibe is chill and they offer you a nice beverage to get things going.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Alex is a hair cut king! His do got me my job. The lady that interviewed me even commented on how nice I looked! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Call early evening on Saturday to see if they had an appointment open for anytime on Sunday morning or afternoon and they got me in[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] hadn't had a haircut since June 2021 and decided long here was too much of a hassle to maintain. All my coworkers and friends are amazed at my transformation since my haircut I believe my stylist was Regina. She did a great job getting me cleaned up and looking like a professional again and not some hippie.. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Regina is the bad-haircut-experience curse breaker! I can't express how much I appreciate what she did for me.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very attentive and goes above and beyond to make sure you are comfortable and happy with the cut.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I went in to Cloak and Dagger an overgrown mess, cromagnon chic if you will, and came out crisper than a new dollar bill. Thanks again, Regina! P.S. Your handiwork helped me get free fries at a local food truck lol. read more

Stumbled upon this shop looking for a new barber, [[HIGHLIGHT]]I was able to get booked same day and was assigned Bryan.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Bryan's skill, customer service and positive attitude is exactly what I was looking for. I look forward to making this my new barber shop, great job Bryan! read more

Waited a few days to see if it would settle and if I'd get use to it but unfortunately not. [[HIGHLIGHT]]this was my first hair cut in 5 years and I wish went someplace else.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Tina did not listen to what I was asking for and cut way too much, really not happy with what I'm stuck with now. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Tina gave the impression that she would rather be else where and eventually said that while checking out at the end.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Wish I did more research before going now that I see other unhappy customers reviews. read more

Alex did an amazing job on my hair, and I don't often say that coming out of a haircut. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very nice guy as well and a great vibe in the shop.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I moved to Oregon just last year and I always dread finding a new barber that I can trust. I looked around and saw this place and thought the vibes looked cool so I took a chance, and it did not disappoint! I loved the ambiance and decor of the place. Alex was my barber and he did an amazing job! The cut was exactly what I was looking for, he was incredibly friendly and chill and overall just a great experience! Thank you Alex!! :D read more

They are open late which is major place as many other shops close around 6. All the staff give decent cuts but it's just a little pricey in my opinion. read more

Can I give them 10 stars? I have never been fond of getting my haircut but This place has me looking forward to my haircuts. I was greeted with an open bar consisting of whiskey beer and wine. I opted for a whiskey neat and it was a generous pour. My barber, Theresa, was wonderful and we hit it off talking about several subjects as she cut my hair. For the ambiance, customer service, free drink, and amazing haircut. You could not beat the price. They do a wonderful job here! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Didn't listen or care at all what client wants.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Rip off $65 buzz cut. Should have gone to Great Clips for $10, #5 clipper buzz. Overpriced under-talented "hipster" (serves you a shot or seltzer water ) hair place that has staff that think they are too good too listen to their client and you get what they want to serve you because zero talent to do anything different. read more

I set an appointment with Teresa for a beard trim online. Process was simple, and options were straightforward. When I arrived, I was offered a selection of whiskeys. Ordered a bourbon and took a seat. I was greeted by my stylist and sat down in an old school barber chair. We negotiated shape and length and she got to work. Great trim, fantastic oils and fragrances. I returned for another trim about a month later and the service was a bit different, however it was Halloween, and I was her last client of the evening so it's expected that the service would be different. I highly recommend Cloke and Dagger for beard quaffing if you are in the neighborhood. read more

I recently retired and decided to let my hair grow long into a ponytail length. Most barbers today find their customers wanting some shorter hairstyle, so that is what they are experienced with. A year ago I had a terrible experience where a barber (after explaining in detail what I wanted) turned the chair around facing away from the mirror so I couldn't see what he was doing. He proceeded to take off more than 3", negating about 6 months of growth. Arrrhhh. So, after doing a lot of searching on the internet to find a barber that knows about cutting men's hair in a longer length, I ran across a few reviews that mentioned a barber named Cable, at Cloak and Dagger Barber Company. I went to the C&D website and saw that he wears his hair long, which to me, suggested he understood long hair on guys. I made an appointment with him (easily done online). I couldn't be happier! He is very personable, and carefully listens to what you want. He immediately demonstrated his knowledge and experience with long hair on guys. I told him what I was looking for and he advised me that he would take off even less than I expected was necessary for a trim. He knocked back the typical haircut price some because he didn't spend as much time cutting my hair. He even gave me instructions on how to put my hair into a ponytail, which I had tried without much success the previous few weeks. Even though my main experience was with Cable, I did have time to glance around at the rest of the barbers and they all seemed to be having friendly interactions with their customers. And, last but not least, they have a small bar to mix a cocktail for you, gratis on the house. The young woman who works the front desk couldn't have been more pleasant. All in all, my visit was superb! Highly recommended! read more

I first booked an appointment with Regina two weeks before my wedding. She listened very intently to what I wanted and planned it so that my hair would look perfect on the wedding day, as it grew in. That is skill! I've been back twice since then, and am always ecstatic with the service I receive. Regina is friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient. The shop itself is elegant, comfortable, and well-appointed. Great location on Williams. I'm looking forward to coming back!! read more

I booked with Joel Morton the owner, for a high skin fade. The haircut goes fine and upon the initial quick peek things look okay. As I get back home I notice that the left side of my head is barely faded and I had small tufts of hair sitting above my ears which I had to shave off myself. Overall very sloppy work for the price. read more

Cloak & Dagger Barber Co - Where's the fade? - Barbers Near Me - Portland, Oregon

My teen went in with an irreverent mushroom top type curly haircut photo and instead of the kind of fade/blending and shape you would normally see with this type of cut, the stylist shaved over half his head evenly to the skin wayyyyy too high (in the back especially). He said there was virtually no consultation nor assessment of his curls and of course he answered yes when asked if he liked it. Because he's 13. And he can't see that you can see scalp through hair in the back. It's absolutely unreal to me that this was okay to walk out the door. The back is just horrific. Thankfully his hair grows quickly because there is no other way to fix this. Even if this is an issue of dealing with a younger inexperienced or soft-spoken customer, you can't tell me this looks good. Or wasn't extreme enough to check in with a parent or have a serious conversation with him. His dad was right outside trying to give him some independence and not helicoptering/trusting the professionals. Won't make the same mistake again. read more

Very Nice Staff enjoy my whiskey drink prior to my awesome cut, would definitely recommend this place! My Texas Professional Barber she did an excellent job on my hair, Thank you again my Friend! Don't forget about visiting the U.S BV Virgin Islands read more

I got my haircut by Chris at Cloak & Dagger Barber Co and holy hell! It is INCREDIBLE! I've had some great haircuts, but honestly this is the best I've ever had. Chris is incredibly detailed and does a fantastic job listening to what you want and delivering with such clean precision! He's a delightful, bearded guy with a warm and friendly demeanor and is definitely who you want to schedule with on your next visit to Cloak & Dagger! Thanks, Chris! read more

Updated: Jason reached out and asked me to come in and get my back of the head cleaned up. He was also generous to refund my charges. They fixed my hair up perfect just like my previous experience. Very responsive and great service. Mistakes happen and I'm glad we could work out things out. They've won another regular here! ----- Not worth the money. For $40+ I got an uneven back and single random hairs on the forehead. Nice and clean ambience but inconsistent read more

I called for a haircut and was scheduled promptly. Alex was very chill, friendly and great to speak to. Alex was the best, the vibe was super chill. I hardly felt like I was getting my hair cut, just felt like I was talking to a chill dude. read more

Gotta say this place was pretty cool. I had gotten there a bit early and they were cool just letting me hang out. The Miguel, my barber, had free time so he got me in straight away. He was real fast and did a great job. We chatted for a few minutes as well. Seems like a real nice guy. They also have some whiskeys and bourbon as well. This place is real great read more

Man, I really hate to do this because the shop is beautiful, the service is fantastic and my Barber was such a nice guy. But I really can't get over the hair cut I got at the price I paid. With everything included including tip (don't ask why I paid a tip, I just do cause I know people gotta eat) I paid over $70 for a cut, shave and line up. The results of the cut are really bad. Just look at the line up. Who the hell takes back the natural hair line like this? This will take Months to grow back. With Summer right around basically here and Father's Day in couple of weeks, I'm going to be walking around looking like a joker for a while. read more

Pretentious and arrogant. The hair cut wasn't even good and the guy barely wanted to listen to what i wanted. He was pissed when towards the end i decided to say maybe a little shorter on top. Like dude grow up. I said lowwww fade in the beginning; no sharp contrast at the top crown. But got exactly that. Wouldnt be so annoyed if it wasnt a $50 haircut and the guy was more professional and kind. Nate, pull your head out of your ass. Stop acting like the kid that bullied you in the late 90s. He may have been cool, but you never were. read more

They are taking proper precautions during COVID. I couldn't be happier with my cut and the Service read more

Fourth time here. I wanted to looked this place. I've never waited less than half an hour past my appointment time. This time it was thirty minutes, the last time thirty minutes and before that 45 minutes. I reserved first available barber. There are always barbers chatting with each other with no customers or chatting with customers but not cutting hair. There were chairs open and barbers doing nothing the entire time I've been waiting. Often, they are sharing videos on their phones with each other. They seem to have no respect for their customer's time. I'm not in the shop getting paid. I'm away from my desk and I don't get paid until I get back to work so my time is important to me. And, if I had extra time to spend, I wouldn't choose to spend it sitting in a barber shop. The haircut isn't bad, but mine isn't complicated. I'm looking elsewhere for future cuts. read more

Been coming to Cloak & Dagger for years now. Recently, I have been getting my hair cut with Regina, and she is a great barber. She is thorough and meticulous. She strives to make sure her customers are completely satisfied with their cut, trim, buzz, etc. Would definitely recommend her. read more

Best beard trim I've had in OR so far . I come through PDX weekly. I was able to walk in, grab an appointment in 30 mins. Walked to New Seasons and grabbed my grocs for work. Came back, was offered beer or whisky. Eric Gomez, asked for what I wanted and went town. Efficiently made it happen. His attention to detail and not just a "put the guard on the buzzer and make it all one length" but spent the time to shape up my beard and trim it down as I had asked. I was out in 15-20 mins. $19 including tip, money well spent. Oh and there is a woodfired pizza spot next door (house of pie) that has $5 margarita pizza(11-6pm daily), damn good. read more

Regina completely butchered my hair. She has no idea what she's doing. Side burns are completely uneven. She didn't listen to what I wanted and just did her own thing. Never going back again. read more

Do not go to Tina she will not listen to your needs and cut your hair how she wants I have been coming here for 4 years now and this is the last time I will ever come here I am traumatized my 6 month hair progression is gone and I could not be more disappointed read more

This place is great! Alex was extremely professional and I'd definitely come back. Thanks y'all

Edele was s tier. Bro took time to show me stuff I would've never known my whole life, not to mention the cut itself was immaculate. If you want to get your hair right, go to edele! read more

This joint is super rad and I love the old fashioned feel. I just asked for a "fresh cut" and that's what they gave me. The freshest cut on the block. Great music and they have a super rad piano coffee table in the middle that you can shred on. read more

So excited the first time I came here. My beard was finally growing in enough to trim a touch and wanted to get a little off the top. Got to the shop about 10 minutes early and was asked to wait outside and that my barber was running a little late due to kid problems. Totally understand. It's COVID time and they limit who is inside and I understand that kids are not on adults schedules even when we think they should. So I patiently and very happily waited until 20 minutes after my appointment. My barber did a great job trimming up my beard and mustache and did a quick clean up on top and all was great. He said hey man I know you came in for the beard and haircut but I didn't really do a cut so just the beard trim today. I went to pay and the guy was nice, dumb me I didn't notice I was charged for the haircut as well. I digged the place so I thought I'd mention it my next time in. Next appointment. Scheduled for 10 am I was stoked because my beard is growing in better. Mind you it's more Luke Combs than Santa Claus. Wouldn't you know it. Parking in Portland is a son of a you know what. Now I'm running 10 minutes late. I text to let them know and walk in a few moments later. I am told the barber already has another client and I can come back later if I want. Yes it is my fault I was late. No question there but this is a barber shop. NOBODY is on time. I rudely but politely tell the cashier/host guy know I am not what happy about either experience. Sorry but that it not the kind of stuck up atmosphere I want to be a part of. read more

I've been going here bi monthly since they opened, and I couldn't be happier. I've had my hair cut by several barbers here, but Joel is my go-to. For the styles/quality I'm looking for, and the price I'm looking for, I haven't found a better deal. The location: Parking can be a little challenging depending on the time of day, but I've never had to walk more than a block to date, which actually beats most trendy areas in Portland. The atmosphere is amazing, and the quality of the touches from the hand made black iron pipe lamps to the working piano table is a notch above other places I've been. It's not a man cave with video games and a sterile feel, it's a lounge or club with a game unobtrusively on, a pool table and excellent drink selection complementary with a cut. Barbers: I've been to several now, and while Joel is my regular, I've had great experiences with everyone there. They are not a sexist location, men and women are welcome, and they have male and female barbers. Why do some people think that only men want whiskey on the rocks and wood furniture?!? Gist: Go in for a cut, and if you disagree with me, I'll keep going anyway :) read more

The barbers here are rude and unprofessional. Never been spoken to by a barber like this before. He was extremely impatient as I described what style I wanted my hair, and basically said I was dumb for wanting what I wanted. Plus they over-charge - especially for being so mediocre at cutting hair. My haircut was nothing special. NEVER COMING BACK AND DO NOT RECOMMEND. There are soooo many other places that are like this place that charge less, and do not have a bunch of drunk/high hipsters cutting hair and cussing like they don't care customers (and even kids) are in the shop. Try these places: MOREHOUSE BARBERS, THRONES, and HAIR M&W. read more

I had the pleasure of having my hair cut by Mychal. Dont let the fact that he cant spell Michael correctly get in the way, he can cut hair. I got a 10/10 haircut and the barbershop's atmosphere was great. Mychals impression of Edgar from Men in Black was so spot on I felt like I was in the movie. The people there were welcoming, funny, and I got a great haircut. It really doesnt get better than that for a barbershop. read more

Best barber experience ever! With everything going on with new rules and regulations it was hard to imagine how going to the barber would be like. Same experience, just add a mask! Thank you for making me feel and look 1000 times better!! read more

I've been getting my hair cut by Nate at C & D for years and he delivers a consistently awesome haircut, is always professional and is a down to earth, really good dude. The shop itself has a good atmosphere, is clean, has an assortment of drinks and always has sports on. They've done a good job with Covid protocols making for a safe environment. Would definitely recommend Nate and this shop. read more
