We moved to downtown Norcross 2 years ago from being in Lilburn/Stone Mountain for 40 years. We love Norcross. Anyway, I am very pleased and committed to Norcross Barber Shop after 2 visits. Janet was very professional and relational. She has been cutting hair for 54 years. I am a huge fan. read more

Relocated from Medlock Bridge area. Have been using Janet and her kin for barbering for over 20 years. Friendly, pleasant, and economical prices. New location is great due to all the excellent downtown Old Town Norcross businesses nearby. read more

I hesitate to write this review since mine is the first and it's negative. But I rely on honest Yelpers to help inform me, so I'll take one for the team and be "that guy' here. I love old town barber shops. They've experienced a resurgence in popularity in recent years - and I'm glad for that. Norcross is a cute little "strip" town with restaurants and a few craft shops. So this barbershop seemed to fit perfectly. From the outside it seems unassuming enough - brick exterior, default barber pole, large glass front windows, "BARBER SHOP" block script painted neatly about the entrance. But inside... PROs: - It was done fast. ----- CONs: - I immediately noticed the extremely bad odor as soon as I walked in. I thought it might have been some kind of foreign dish (Sorry! Sometimes they can be smelly!). Sadly, it wasn't. It lingered the entire time I was there. - The shop was in disorder. Hair clumps all around the cutting station. There was only one barber and she had no other clients, but she was sitting down reading a magazine when I walked in; so she should have had time to clean up before the next customer. - I should have left then, but like a nice sap I sat down anyway. Halfway through cutting my hair with clippers I noticed that the clipper guards, neatly arranged on the counter, were rusty, caked with old hair and were sitting on a dirty towel. - She was quite cold. Not even professional "friendly" (the kind where you know they don't really care about you personally but they do want to be polite). No smiles, small talk, eye-contact, etc. She could have pointed her scissors at me and gurgled out a threat like horror movie barbers do and I would have accepted it as a good sign at that point. - Mediocre-to-bad cut. Done in about ten minutes, almost all with clippers and little scissor work on top. -Instead of brushing off hair bits, she used this crazy air hose that - seriously - felt like the freezing compressed air that comes from those air-can keyboard dusters when you spray them upside down (you know what I'm talking about, so don't pretend you don't). Seriously uncomfortable. - Cash only. It's 2014. Even farmer's markets take cards now. So really - no cards at all? ------ So, yes, I genuinely feel bad to write the first review and have it be a negative one. I definitely don't want to be responsible for putting anyone out of business. But since the experience was akin to sitting on a rundown trailer park porch while receiving a bowl cut with a hubcap and hedge shears in the dark, I'd say that it was my responsibility to make it known. Please, someone, let us know if you've had a better experience! read more

Norcross Barber Shop - View of the front façade from the street. - Barbers Near Me - Norcross, Georgia

The bad reviews reflect the previous owner and on that front I will not disagree. The new owner Jackie is fantastic does a wonderful job cutting hair. She is an excellent barber / stylist. Highly the recommend the shop read more

This barbershop changed ownership and was previously Norcross barbershop. For years Mr. Mathis ran this place and was an excellent barber. His daughter Neva Took over the business and did well for a while. Something happened and she became absolutely terrible. The new ownership renamed it Main Street Barber Shop. Janet Anglin is the owner And one of the barbers. Her brothers also have been barbers and they have cut my hair and my sons hair for 30 years. They are excellent barbers and I highly recommend this barbershop. I don't know why yelp and the other reviewer's will not remove the reviews from the old shop under previous ownership. It gives an unfair picture of this business.. I would give this barbershop five stars read more

I'm the owner of Norcross Barber Shop and I got a nasty review from Adam R. I'm going to report him to the City of Norcross Police and Forsyth County Sheriff. I'll be back and thanks. Norcross Barber Shop Neva Spell read more

Omg BEWARE of this place!!!! All the comments here are dead on, unfortunately i see them now that I feel I HAVE TO report this place. I took my son to get a hair cut. He is 10, and well mannered, so not a you g child who needs a kids friendly haircut place. My poor son tried to make conversation and the lady would answer in short dry sentences and kept telling him to stop moving and jerk around. He was not moving. Poor thing I see his face get a really sad look and when I looked closer she had cut his ear and it was bleeding. There was noone else there and all I wanted was just get the hell out of there. More than not going to this place, I think she should be reported and her license be taken away. She never apologized, and wanted to continue and finish his cut, but of course I did not let her. We left as soon as he could get down that chair. read more

New ownership, known as Main Street Barber now. Excellent haircuts for a great price. Highly recommend!

*Please take these reviews seriously. I found them to be extremely accurate. Like an idiot, I chose to not believe them and I gave this business the benefit of the doubt. WHAT A MISTAKE. 1) Environment- The location is wonderful. Nice small town. The location reminded me of something out of a book. Beautiful brick building. Placard on the front stating how old the business is. Since the 20's....as soon as you sit down, the "cool" factor starts to dissolve. I noticed hair stuck to the cabinet in front of me. The clippers and scissors were also covered in old hair. 2) Attitude and personality- The lady who cut my hair had a very dry and cold demeanor. Before I could even sit down in the chair, she reminded me that it was a cash only business and it was going to be $16. I showed her a picture on my cellphone of how I wanted my hair cut. She hardly looked at the photo and began to cut my hair. 3) Haircut- I asked for a fade. She spent less than 10 minutes on my hair and didn't even come close to what I requested. The sides of my head were not blended correctly. It was blotchy at best. After she showed me the finished cut, I couldn't believe how terrible it was. I asked her to blend it better and she tried, but then she complained and said it would be impossible to blend my hair because of how "boney" my head was and that it would be impossible to get the line out because my head was too white. I was upset, but I lost confidence in her ability to fix the problem so I quickly paid her and left as soon as I could to find another barber who could possibly fix the disaster. read more

My husband went here and came back with a horrible haircut. The lady that normally cuts his hair was out of town so he decided to try this barber shop. Upon seeing his haircut, the person that usually cuts his hair told him that the cut was so bad, it would take a couple of visits to fix it. In addition, just like the other reviews, the customer service was very poor. read more

Completely unfriendly demeanor, totally agree with the other review. Glad I walked out before she cut my hair
