Joe's Throwback Barber Shop - Barbers Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Last minute haircut, needed to return from Covid hair back to pre-Covid hair, and local barbers were booked for the month. In the past, these on the fly cuts have always left me lamenting my life choices, but Sue was able to accommodated me, and actually did a good job to boot. A couple issues I could knit pick, like a choppy transition in the blend, but then she took my hair from 18 inches to 4, which, as a layman, seems the hardest cut, so a lot of grace should be given (though not needed). If I had walked out with the same do as a simple trim, I would call it a solid B+ haircut. Mostly wrote this so I could say cash only/Venmo for payment. Very clean establishment, and they practiced current Covid protocols. I would get a cut from her again without fear. read more

My son has been going to Joe's for a few years now, he loves the place, I have been taking my grandsons for past 6 months. They don't sit still all the time, last night Brian cut their hair. Besides doing an amazing job, he had the patience of a Saint and calmly refocused them to stay still and got the job done. His detail to each of their styles were phenomenal!! Best place around!! Kudos to Joe's Throwbacks!! read more

Joe's is probably the place I'll miss most after leaving Philly. Every time I come back to the city I'm going to Joe's for a fresh cut. Accommodating, great conversations, and the best barbers in town. read more

Blinds were closed but the door was open. Saw one barber not busy and parked. Grabbed my walker and mosied in. Sat rite down and the young lad chatted and started clipping according to my instructions. Short time later, he was done. I liked what he did. More than that, my wife approved. (that is like getting GOD's blessing). Well done! Sorry I don t remember the young lads name. JOB WELL DONE. Carl read more

My kids have been getting their hair cut by Joe and Bin for a few months now, and they have been telling me to stop cutting my own hair and walk up to the shop. I got done work a little early today, and decided I'd stop into the shop. I walked in, Joe says no problem, have a seat it shouldn't be long. Joe proceeds to introduce himself, and everyone in the shop. You really feel welcome. I didn't even wait a half hour, but it's such a friendly shop, the wait doesn't even matter. Bin cut my hair and shaped my beard. It came out perfect. I watched Joe cut a few guys, and they all left looking razor sharp as well. I highly recommend Joe's shop. You'll leave with a great haircut, and a few new friends as well. See you guys soon! read more

Great set of guys and girls here. Everyone is friendly. No appointments, but that is expected when you are getting a quality cut and not rushed in and out like chickens going for slaughter. $15 for a cut and a nice hot straight razor neck trim. Face shave I think was $5 more. Can't say anything bad, plus you get to meet some neighborhood folks. read more

Stopped in this place for the first time after living in the area for a bit. I found out that you can book the appointments online through their website which is always convenient. Sue cut my hair, she did a great job. Exactly how I wanted mine cut. Ill definitely be coming back. read more

This is a barbershop for white people or hispanics... not racist or anything but i asked for a blowout and all i got was lineup plus got cut twice and was charged $23 for a half ass'd job. They need black barbers for people with curly but they did trim my hair up nicely ill give them that‍. read more

This place is a gem! Joe is a great guy...interesting and interested. On top of that he gives a great cut! He takes his time and makes sure you get it just how you want it. He doesn't rush you through the chair like a Super-Cuts. It's a true "throwback" barbershop experience. It's also a GREAT place to have a groomsman party before a wedding. I had one there a few weeks ago (I'm posting under my wife's account), and we had a blast. They guys are still talking about what a great experience it was. read more

Joe is awesome. He did a fantastic job on my son. We wandered in and he treated us like VIPs. Made us feel right at home. Joe is a solid barber and provides hot shaves too. read more

Joe's Throwback Barber Shop - Old fashioned hot shave. - Barbers Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

After a recommendation from my roommate, I went to Joe's last week for a haircut. I showed up around 4:45 and both seats were taken and both barbers were working. However, Joe immediately introduced himself and told me to take a seat and he'll take me next. I talked to his son a little bit, and then Joe brought me up to take a seat. He did a fantastic job with my hair and asked questions throughout the whole time to make sure the cut was what I wanted. I recommend scheduling an appointment because there are only two chairs in there, but it's a fantastic place. Joe runs a great barber shop and I will recommend this shop to any of my friends in the area. read more

I went to Joe's for the first time today, it was the best haircut I've gotten in a very long time. Brian did my cut he was very professional and did an amazing job, I highly recommend going there for a cut from Brian. read more

El Viejo now has some trouble keeping his 'stache and beard trimmed. (Aging sucks.) Took him to Joe's, and Jared cleaned him up nicely. Welcoming, down-to-earth vibe, reasonable prices, great work. read more

Needed a cut first thing in the morning. My regular spot was closed. Joe's has high ratings and it is well deserved. I recommend calling ahead to get a reservation, but I got in quickly. Great cut, good conversation. Looking forward to coming back soon. read more

Probably one of the best barbers I have been to, very nice, very friendly and the haircut is perfect every time!

I been going to Joe's for my last 3 cuts and Matt has be doing them and to be honest the last cut I had was probably the best cut I ever had he takes his time and the razor finish makes it feel so fresh when u walk out and they don't rush you to get u out. Most shops have me and out in 10 to 15 mins and make you feel like they just want to rush you to get another person in the chair. Not these guys they make u feel good about spending your money and there one of the cheapest around so if you want to get a great cut you can go to anybody that works there but I would suggest Matt he's a nice guy and works really well on how you want it cut. Thanks joe for treating me like a long time customer and you to Matt for putting up with me read more

This shop is a great addition to the neighborhood! This is an old school style barber shop where you can get a great cut and straight razor shave. Ask for Joe he is the best! read more

The shop has the old school manners and vibe, but with modern hair styling and conversation. Took me 25 years to find a shop where everyone there cuts great hair, never ever going elsewhere. read more

Short review...this place is fantastic! Customer service is severely lacking in business today. In many cases, I feel like I'm a bother. But that couldn't be further from the truth at Joe's. I was a groomsman in a wedding and the groom treated us all to a fresh haircut and straight razor shave. There were five total guys there. What impressed me most was that Joe did not rush through. He was attentive to each guy...and that made the experience all the better. We basically hung out and enjoyed the experience. Joe fit right in with not only the groomsmen, but the other customers who entered the shop. He has clearly created a culture of camaraderie in his shop. I did not need a hair cut, so I only enjoyed the straight razor shave (a first for me). Joe was a true master of his craft and also was great at educating me about the process (which I found interesting). The shave was an awesome experience and really felt amazing. This was not only a shave, but an experience. Highly recommended. read more
