If you're going to cut around the ear, I get it, but if you're buzzing another part of my head, please let go of the ear. We aren't dating and I don't know you that well. The cleanliness of Elevate immediately signaled to me care and attention. The polished concrete floors were promptly cleaned and the decor was fresh and hip. While I'm sure the boys in the shop enjoyed the musical selections, I did not. These boys from the shop are boys from the hood. I'm told by reading information from the business, the owner enjoys playing "good" music; I beg to differ. In John Pinette lingo, "I say, nay, nay." The speakers, obviously prized for their clarity, carried the rhymes and rhythms of vulgarity. The demeaning social vernacular of words I would not use directed towards anyone, used to speak about women, or repeated racial slurs made me crawl under the barber's cape. The last "song" that was playing had the lyric "leave your panties on my nightstand." When I googled to try and find out what song was playing, I learned this: Regarding the broader context of leaving underwear on a nightstand at night, health experts often suggest that sleeping without underwear is beneficial for vaginal health, as it allows the area to breathe, prevents trapping moisture, and reduces the risk of infections, such as yeast infections. While some suggest wearing loose, cotton underwear is fine, skipping it entirely is generally recommended. Well, now I know. And knowing is half the battle. Price for a haircut $40, cash only. Education on vaginal health, free.

The guys there are all super cool, and really welcoming. The vibe of the place is always super chill, with plenty of tv and magazines if you forgot your phone.

If you really want to plan ahead, they do appointments too. Overall, every time I leave the place I get what I feel like was the best cut of my life.

Open area for seating. Wait time was instant (given the time of day I went in). The haircut itself went by smoothly. No botches, roughhousing, or issues. My only complaint, which knocks this from a 5 to a 4, is the payment options. It's cash or Zelle, with the payment going completely towards the barber. I found it strange, but thought nothing of it. Thankfully, I have a Zelle account. Otherwise, this situation would've gotten awkward since I normally carry credit cards on my person. I like this joint. Glad it's local. But now that I know I can't use plastic in the building, I'll have to weigh my options on future visits.

Elevate Barbershop! Just saying the name conjures up images of sharp lines, confident swagger, and a cut that's as fresh as the morning dew. But is it just the trendy moniker or does Elevate truly live up to its name? Buckle up, folks, because I'm about to tell you exactly why it's not just a barbershop, it's an experience. Walking into Elevate is like stepping into a GQ photoshoot. Sleek concrete walls meet exposed brick. It's the kind of place where even waiting for your turn feels like a treat (though trust me, you won't be waiting long). But the real magic happens in the chairs. Forget about your average barber hack wielding clippers like a butter knife. The barbers at Elevate are artists, sculpting hair into masterpieces. My barber, Alex, had an eye for detail that would make a hawk jealous. So, is Elevate just a barbershop? No! It's a sanctuary for the modern man, a place where you can get a killer cut, a confidence boost, and a damn good time. If you're looking for a barber who can turn your mane into a mane-event, look no further than Elevate. Just be prepared to walk out feeling like a million bucks (and maybe a little bit addicted to the effortless swagger that comes with a truly great haircut). Thank me later. read more

This barbershop consists of a very friendly and welcoming environment. The barbers are always motivated to give you the best service and quality. I recommend this place because not only are the barbers organized and knowledgeable but the place is very spacious, clean, and bright. Their pricing is very worth it considering that not only do you get a good quality haircut but you also receive good customer service, a clean and welcoming environment, and kindness all around. read more
