I don't know where to start! When I first moved to Nashville from New York in 2011, I was stressed about finding someone to cut my hair. I read review upon review, unsure about who to trust, until finally someone recommended I try Stephen and I decided to give him a try. I was nervous going to a "barber" but he's much more than that. I have now been getting cut and styled by him ever since and won't let anyone else touch my hair! I moved back to NY in 2012 for just 11 months, but in that time, I even took a trip back to Nashville, and had Stephen give me a fresh cut. His attention to detail is second to none, and he's just such a great guy. Cool to chat with, always professional, and he goes above and beyond, providing a scalp massage and even offering me fresh coffee, soda or some whiskey. I read more

I just received an excellent haircut from Stephen yesterday! He listened very intently to what I wanted and did exactly what I described. Having curly hair is tough to deal with because it's straight when wet and curly when dry. This usually makes for a haircut that doesn't turn out the way that it did when it was wet. Stephen has the experience and expertise to plan for this. He knows hair. I feel as though my haircut is tailored to my hair type and facial shape. Besides receiving a great haircut, I had a wonderful conversation during the haircut. Stephen is very personable and friendly. I will definitely be going back to Kingpin Barber Co.! read more

I moved to Nashville 6 years ago from NYC. I went to Stephen for a haircut and haven't gotten a cut from anyone else since. First and foremost, he knows how to cut hair. I have worn my hair 10 different ways and Stephen has always aced it. He definitely has that classic barber ability and it's not feigned. I've never had the attention to detail that I get from Stephen. Almost equally as important as the quality of the haircut is finding someone that I want to go sit with for an hour. Stephen is a genuinely cool dude, mellow in the right ways, and he plays good music. That's hard to find. Hands down the best cut in Nashville. read more

I found Stephen shortly after moving to Nashville four years ago and have never been to another local stylist since. Finding someone who can approach your hair not only as a technician but as an artist is rare, and having that person be someone you want to spend an hour with is even harder. I always enjoy our conversations, he's got a handful of thoughtfully selected products available without the hard sell, and I always leave happy with the cut, regardless of the many different styles we've tried over the years. Easy online scheduling and proximity to great coffee shops and restaurants are icing on the cake. read more

I've been going to Stephen for about 4-5 years now. Stephen is far and away the best hair stylist I have ever worked with. He is always professional. He's been able to make time for me when I have been in a bind. He consistently does a good job, and anytime I have a request or want to change things up he gets it right. The best part about Stephen is that he is great to talk to, and genuinely seems to care about you as a person. I always look forward to working with Stephen, and I would not go to anyone else. read more

There's just always something about a haircut to make ya feel good. Stephen does a great job and is a real pro. The cool thing is he's cool too and it's always a pleasure talking to Stephen and to spend some time around the space he created and the energy he brings to bear on the situation. Always a good vibe: good tunes and drink if I want it and overall a sum that's greater than the parts. read more

A good barber is hard to find. Stephen is a master of his craft. He is also hilarious which makes the time in the chair go faster.

I just started going to Stephen and I couldn't recommend a better barber in town. He takes a lot of pride in his work.

Then there was a straight razor. And then they finished it off again with an electric shaver all over my face. My face was burning at the end, and the experience was terrible. Thankfully they used enough ointments at the end that prevented any serious lasting razor burn from the electric shaver. If I wanted to use an electric shaver on my face I would have taken the 50 bucks I paid for the shave and bought an electric shaver at the store. The end result wasn't even a close shave, and I could still feel stubble on my face walking out. I do a closer shave on my own with my gillette razor.
