Bad review for Nick at Derby City Chop Shop:…read more I've been going to Derby City Chop Shop for a while and usually work with Patrik, who has always been great. Today I called because the online booking system was not working for me, and I was trying to make an appointment. Nick answered the phone and immediately acted annoyed that I even called. Instead of helping, he told me my phone was "the only phone in the world" not working and basically blamed me for the issue. When I asked if there was another way to schedule an appointment, he cut me off and said, "Listen buddy, I don't have time for this right now. Can you come in in 15 minutes or not?" The entire conversation was rude, dismissive, and unprofessional from start to finish. I even had to ask multiple times just to get his name because he refused to give it at first. I can honestly say after that interaction, I would never let Nick anywhere near my hair with a pair of scissors. Customer service like that is unacceptable, especially for someone representing a business people are supposed to feel comfortable walking into.

Timeline: check the website to join their queue. It says 30-45 mins. Great. Hopped in line at 12:30. Arrived at 12:45 (because it says to be early). At 12:55 the barber that was taking walk-ins finished a cut. I didn't get his name, but some "adult" that dressed like a 13 year old in a hat. He looked at me, scrolled his little tablet thing then proceeded to the back for 30 mins or so to eat beefaroni or whatever lunchable his mom packed for him. The other guys who apparently take appointments only couldn't be bothered. At 1:30 a different barber who finished another cut brought me back and cut my hair. Did a fine job. The problem is a certain level of customer service. We all get that kids gotta eat, but have the system adjust to an hour wait so other people that have stuff to do can plan accordingly. I know LEO weekly or whatever says it's a fantastic highlands spot, but plenty of good old-school barbers can remove hair from a person's head without the customer being made to feel like they're inconveniencing the gentle talent that works there. Oh well. I'm confident this entitled establishment has plenty of suckers to pay for a $30 haircut so they can say they got it at the 'cool place'

This cozy barber shop, located at the corner of Oak and Swan Street (hence the name), is a must-visit. The shop is part of a community of local businesses in one building- at the back is a coffee shop with a glorious patio, and up the stairs is a quaint yoga studio. My partner (Cody) has made the point to ensure the barber shop is a welcoming and safe space for any of his clients. He is part of the Strands for Trans community and caters to a diverse range of clientele from all different walks of life (and all types of hairstyles.) He's magic with clippers, shears, and a straight razor, and won't let you leave the chair until you are filled to the brim with confidence and are happy with your cut, shave, or beard trim. Find examples of his work and the link to book an appointment on Instagram (@cody_cuts_hair.) He's also quite the conversationalist which makes your time in the chair a delight, and you often get to see our sweet pup, Blueberry, who has become a shop staple. Consider visiting for your next trim!

I've been a customer of Generations Barbershop for years. I feel like family when I walk through the door. Travis, Steve, Kury, and Heather have all been wonderful. It doesn't matter who you see. The shop is very clean and very organized. The online system for appointments is convenient. It is very quick to get in and out in a hurry, but they never sacrifice quality for speed. They will make sure you leave with a haircut you love. read more

Great pricing, positive environment, and the staff are always happy to see you walk in. I always make an appointment but they will never turn down walk-ins if they're not fully booked !
