The Homewood Barbershop - 2724 18th St S, Birmingham, AL 35209 From the moment my brother and I walked in, we felt genuinely welcomed. The barbershop is clean, inviting, and has a great vibe. There's very little wait time, the chairs are super comfortable, and the magazines are up to date. They even have small games available for customers to enjoy while they wait. In the heat of summer, the shop stays cool and comfortable, and in the cold of winter, it's warm and cozy. All the barbers are friendly, and the steady stream of regular customers says a lot about the quality of their work. Parking has never been an issue either, and they have handicapped parking available. Our barber, Raven Baker, is absolutely top-notch--both highly skilled and incredibly attentive. The haircuts she gave us were exactly what my brother Tim and I wanted. But beyond being a great barber, Raven is also wonderfully personable. She takes time to understand our preferences, offers helpful advice, and makes the whole experience enjoyable. She's very patient with both of us, and we always leave feeling like valued customers. Raven's haircuts often draw compliments for both me and my brother, and we couldn't recommend her more highly. If you're looking for a talented and kind barber, Raven Baker is the one! Thanks so much, and God bless! - Mark N Tim Elders, 04/10/2025 read more

lady was very rude. We walked in at 1:00. She asked if we had an appointment. I said no. She said we take our lady appointment at 1:00. I said I didn't think we needed one. She made a rude face and said we take our last appointment at 1:00. Not sure they are open past one. read more

I've been going here for almost 7 years and have used multiple stylists...fantastic result every time.

Cody the goat. Even though it was my first haircut with him he did a great job. We had a good conversation about life and I will be back when I need another cut. read more

I called to see if I needed an appointment and was told yes. When I responded that I was right across the street at The Valley Hotel, the woman on the phone told me she wasn't busy right then and she would take me right away...I walked over, sat down and got a great haircut from Megan in very short order. $25 well spent! read more

I am a 30 year customer....these folks really take care of me. I highly recommend using the whole team

The shop reminds me of old town barbershops with all the modern updates. Loren is my "go-to" barber and is fabulous. In fact, you cannot go wrong with choosing any of them because they are a great team. read more

The folks here are nice enough, and it's fairly easy to get in. But, the two times I've been, the barber did the exact opposite of what I asked for despite clear instructions. Won't be a third visit. read more

I've been multiple times but I guess I won't be going back. Prices are meh. $20 if you use cash, $2 upcharge for using a credit card. I typically tip my barber, so I usually would spend at least $30 here. Definitely more than I want to spend for a simple buzz on the sides and trim up top, but I didn't want to go to the hassle of trying to find a new barber. They do a decent job cutting your hair, only been a couple of times where I left disappointed with my cut. I started using them due to how close they were to work, and I could go on my lunch break. However, I will not be back. The only way to get a haircut here is to make an online reservation. I've tried to call and make an appointment but I've been told they do not accept walk-ins and do not make appointments over the phone. I made a reservation a couple of weeks ago for a Saturday, but had a family emergency right before I started heading to my appointment. The barber, Howard Campbell, called me two or three minutes after my reserved time slot began and I told him I had a personal emergency and wouldn't be able to make it. The man was rude and abrupt towards me and said "Ok whatever" and hung up on me before I could say anything else. I didn't think much of it as a neither a haircut nor a rude barber was primary on my mind at the time. Flash forward to about two weeks later and I'm trying to schedule another time to get a haircut. Even though my last interaction with Howard ended with him being an absolute jerk, I decided to forget about it and schedule another haircut with him. Who knows, maybe he was having a bad day that day. Turns out, I have been blocked from making a reservation with this business. This business does not care about the customer. As far as Mr. Campbell knows, I could have been in a car accident on the way to the appointment or could have been dealing with a death in the family. Even after using the Homewood Barbershop for over a year, one missed reservation, no matter the reason, is enough for Howard to ban you from the business. Honestly, I'm glad. I have no desire to support a business where you are treated horribly after your first missed booking. Good riddance. read more

I've been to this barber shop a few times now and have been impressed each time with the cut they have performed. I grow my hair out long then cut it back every few months. They have always managed to restore the shape and give me a nice edge. The building is pleasant and very old school which I like a lot. Just a couple of chairs and a lot of hair. Despite that the shop is clean and the barbers are very friendly willing to have a chin wag and give you a little history lesson. Cost is $16 for a men's haircut. This is also a family run local business which is becoming more and more rate to find. Support your local businesses! Till next time read more

As far as the money thing, just stop by the Pig, buy something and get $20 cash. Then they get a tip and you're out the door.

Friendly and a good haircut. While they say they take credit cards, they sometimes refuse. I don't have a problem paying a little extra for the convenience fee--I understand tight margins in a small business. But, when a business prefers to inconvenience me with a wallet full of change rather than taking my card (and charging a convenience fee), it rubs me the wrong way. I wanted to make this place my permanent place, and I drove about 45 mins to get here. But, if they can't do me the favor of taking my money in a way that is convenient for me, I won't keep making the trip. read more

Aside from the temporary sidewalk construction, which made parking inconvenient, this cute little Barbershop was easy to find and they worked us in the same day, although they request appointments. The cut was good and the price was even better! read more

I was excited to see the shop open early. So convenient and they weren't busy. The gentleman who cut my hair said he'd barbered for 25 years. I'm sorry to have to say this, but it was the worst cut I ever had in my life. It took nearly a month before I could get it to comb and hair sprayed down so I didn't have lumpy gobs of hair and could kind of cover up the gaps. I would love to go to the shop and get a decent haircut, but I won't chance it again. read more

Mediocre haircuts at best. I usually have to fix their work later. The old guy should stick to cutting hair instead of making snide remarks while right wing news blasts on the TV. My friends and I won't be going back. read more

Visiting from NJ and needed a cut before attending a wedding. Stumbled on this place via Google and after reading the reviews on Yelp decided to give it a try. Wow am I glad I did! Great atmosphere and both the barbers and the other patrons were so friendly and welcoming. The cut was exactly what I wanted and the price was really reasonable. If you're visiting the area and need a regular good old fashion cut do not think twice go here! read more

Homewood Barber Shop is awesome! I was in town for a wedding and needed a quick touch up trim. I dropped in late Friday morning and was able to get a great cut in less than 30 minutes. The location is very convenient if you're staying at the Embassy Suites or Aloft hotels. read more

I'm a United States Marine who just moved to Avondale in October to take care of my handicapped mother. I lived in Nashville for the better part of fifteen years,so needless to say I had a barber that I had grown accustomed to. After searching for a TRUE barbershop in Birmingham to no avail, I realized that all I had to do was go over the mountain. After one haircut and some great conversation I became sadly aware of how my last barber had butchered my hair for so long that I had grown to expect the same cut from a new shop. The gentleman who cut my hair is the son of a barber and did a bang up job! I didn't understand that my old style was just a chop job repeated over and over again. Chris (I think) made me look"Handsome" for once according to my mother. Sorry I took the long way around to tell you that this place ROCKS! Staff is friendly and true artists with clippers and scissors. Price is killer and it's like I'd been going there for years. Don't waste your time looking for other shops in town because this place is the real deal. read more
