I've known of and enjoyed Off the Hook for over 10years. They run a quiet, but engaging shop, with a real cool playlist. Jace is always professional and understands how to cut my curly hair. Everyone is professional there. The clients are consistent, care about the aesthetic--which are excellent markers for the beauty/wellness impact and Off the Hook's relevance & efficacy as a community business. The parking can be a challenge. read more

I don't remember my barbers name but he was an older gentleman in the back left. I went in for a cut and showed him a picture and described how I usually get my hair cut. He completely disregarded what I had said and pretty much did what he wanted and then mid cut when I reiterated he acknowledged what I said yet I came out with nothing close to what I wanted. It in fact is probably the worst haircut I have ever gotten I would just be extremely clear with what you want and go for one of the younger barbers because in my experience they tend to hear what you want clearer. read more

This is an amazing barbershop.Based on my experience with Atlanta barbers/Babrber shop this is by far the best . when you walked into the shop It feels like I'm hanging out with all my brothers(literally) . My barber is Jace and he always, always enhance my flavor with a saucey cut . Not to take anything away from the other barbers. that are definitely Masters of their craft. This is the Atlanta Barber Shop. A community landmark. I highly recommend this barbershop. You will not be disappointed. And that's a Fact. read more

I posted a before-and-after pictograph, so I'll let you be the judge on whether or not Jace did a good job, but just wanted to let y'all know this place is dope! I came here late in the evening with my wife and kids, which I was initially worried about with the reputation barbershops have, but they loved the environment as the music was clean, there was no cursing amongst the patrons, plenty of room to move, and there were snacks available. I moved to Atlanta recently, and it's surprisingly been a struggle to find a good, consistent barber. Jace hit all of the points that were important to me; i.e., right price ($30), great personality, and exceptional attention-to-detail. If you're looking for a new barber, stop that and give my man Jace a call. Tell him Jeff from BYU sent you (708) 545-2900 read more

Fantastic friendly clean barber shop. Great cut and chill conversation. In town this week working at The Fox and found this shop on Yelp. Glad I came here! When I'm back in ATL I will definitely be back to this shop! Thanks ya'll. read more

Off the Hook Barber Shop - Barbers Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

I over love this barber shop! Mr Karl the Master barber and owner has been cutting my son's hair for 3 years now. My son has a disability and every single time I drop him off and pick him up, either Mr Karl, a customer or one of the other barbers always come out and greet him and help him at the door. Mr. Karl let my son get away with paying him what ever he likes for his hair cut, I would go back and try to pay him and he will not take the money. This is the type of man he is. I've started giving my son whole dollars so that he can pay the correct amount for his hair cut. I always recommend this shop to all my friends when they are in town. I love this shop because it doesn't feel like just another barber shop. It feels like family! read more

Best barbershop in the ATL with the best customer service. A must stop if your new to the ATL.

Had to get my son in for a haircut despite his protests. Texted Jace for an appointment and he got us in on the same day. Professional service in a solid and well established shop in Castleberry Hill. Parking can be tight and the shop gets busy, but this is a great shop to get a fresh cut! Flat screens are on and good music is usually playing in the atmosphere. You may even have a good debate about current events while in the shop. Good for kids and adults. read more

Love the vibe since I started coming here. I'm literally here once a week. Took me ages to find a barber in the city that understands my cut style. If you are looking a place to get a haircut in the city, look no further. read more

If need a barber call up to the shop ask for Jace!! He going get you right. If got waves or bald he cold with Clips!!!!!

So, I've been living in Castleberry Hill for a week and a couple of days now. Love the neighborhood. As a black man, one of the first things we do when moving is look for a decent barber shop (gotta stay fresh). Even though I didn't get any recommendations, Google always comes in handy. I did a simple search for barber shops in Castleberry which lead me to Off the Hook Barber Shop. The next thing I did was read the reviews which seemed decent so I decided to give them a try. Plus, the shop is only a 4 minute walk away from my loft. First, I called to make sure I didn't need an appointment. Walk-ins were welcomed. However, when I arrived I felt less than welcomed. The barber shop was packed which is typical for a Saturday. I walked through the door with an attempt to make eye contact with as many barbers as possible. To my surprise, no one spoke or even acknowledged me. Still, I continued to walk through the shop to an available seat in the rear near what I like to call their "indoor bodega" filled with candy, chips, sodas, tobacco products, t-shirts, etc. There were at least 8 barbers on duty, 1 was a female. Everyone seemed in very good spirits in the barber shop. There was no loud cursing or inappropriate language which I really appreciated. However, once again, many barbers kept walking past me not acknowledging my presence. After sitting there for an hour and a half, a female stylist who was by this time doing her second head of hair asked if I was waiting on anyone in particular. I said "this is my first time here I was hoping someone would hook me up but no one ever spoke to me." She asked my name and apologized on all their behalfs. I accepted the apology and said it was all good. I don't remember her name but I do remember she mentioned she had been there for 7 years. Then, the barber who was directly next to me, who had also ignored me and was packing up his gear to leave, walked over to the barber next to him, Tariq, and asked if he could give me a cut. Tariq walked over, introduced himself, asked my name and said he would be with me as soon as he finished with his current client. Once he was done he came over and showed me to his chair. I thanked him for taking me on. I told Tariq how I had just moved to the neighborhood and how I found the shop. He stated he was the newest barber there, only since January. This barber was a great conversationalist. He asked about my travels, education, career, family and things to do in the city. It was really appreciated. By that time I had forgotten how I was basically ignored. My haircut came out great. I felt like a million bucks when I got up. Tariq gave me his business card and I gave him a $10 tip in addition to the $20 cut because he turned what could have been a very negative experience into a positive. Because of Tariq's skills behind the clippers and good conversation I can truly say I've found a new barber in Castleberry Hill. I will return next week. If you are new to the neighborhood and you find yourself going to Off the Hook Barbershop I would suggest walking in the front door turning cartwheels or maybe bringing a set of drums to gain the attention of the barbers or else they won't see you. read more

OFF THE HOOK is definitely the best barbershop in Atlanta. No surprise why it's frequented by so many celebrities. All the barbers have more than enough experience but Therrel (first chair on the right) never disappoints and the price is always right. Therrel's clippers are always fine tuned so your line always ends up being extra crispy. When I get up from the chair after my cuts, I not only always look good but I feel good. Nothing like that fresh cut. read more

The Service is Amazing. They got a lot of barbers and the wait time is not long. The Haircut i got was fresh and clean. They got skills. I would recommend them to anyone that wants a haircut. And the prices are reasonable. The barbers handle there business they do a Quality and Professional Job on your head. And get you in and out very fast. OFF THE HOOK BARBER SHOP. Thanks will come back anytime. read more

After finding GlamBar here on Yelp & having an upsetting experience, (more on that later), a barber in the area recommended Melody at OtH. I can't even tell you how on the ball she was, but I'll try: My afternoon had been botched since the other salon didn't have a stylist avail to do my hair after scheduling my appointment. Melody took the call & confirmed that she could take me on in less than an hr. I was happy to find she's not a stylist that tries to rip you off by charging more due to the length of your hair. Upon my arrival, she was pleasant and let me know that she'd get me started within the next 5-10. From the time I sat down, we had great rapport, she seemed genuinely concerned & was very cognizant of my hair's nature & condition (I have very long, natural hair). She & Mo were wonderful, making me feel right at home and joking like we were old friends. The gentlemen in the shop were congenial and respectful, making the environment comfortable for everyone. Although Melody was also working on another client, I never had to wait more than 15mins to move the to next step of my appointment. She had me in and out in less than 2 hours, despite my hair's length! I ended up with a beautiful result at a great price, and I'll definitely be returning. read more

It's simple. An at home feel in a shop that has been around for years in a good location. Matter of fact let me tell you a story... I called my barber Carl, last week after I moved up to buckhead he had like 4 people waiting ( the guy can cut) and I'm not one to wait. So I decided to play the field a bit and check out my new local barbers since I am no longer a castleberry resident. My god brother and I decided on a shop he had frequented in the past. We walk in and the spot is cramped. They got about 5 chairs stuffed in a 12'x12' they call a shop and I proceed to do my first-time-shop-stop-barber-evaluation. Im looking around and one giy looks like he does more talkning then cutting, another guy has his personal hygiene in order bur he looks a little fruitty; the next dude looks like he cant cut; and the ither guy is white (no offense but when it comes to haircare, this is the most segregated imdustry we can all agree on that cant we?! Come on lets be mature about this;) And I spot the barber that looks the most refined (relatively speaking of course). I say "bro, how many you got waiting" he replies "plenty man, you're the next walkin available" then he takes a survey of the barbers who have appointments and who don't and when the next non-appointment-having barber becomes available they assign him to me. It's the fruity looking "stylist" to me and not only does he take entirely too long for my patience spans but he also charges me $10 more than my barber here at Off the Hook. Hence the reason I'm checking in today. So I say all that to say this. Go for what you know. And I know Off the Hook is one of the best. I hate to go anywhere else. Whenever I go elsewhere I regret it. read more

A+++ to Mr. Tariq This is my first hair cut in Atl and I am glad I got my hair cut here. I don't really write reviews but I will definitely write one for this. He was really professional and friendly. All I did is show him the picture of the cut that I wanted and the result was beyond my expectation. I will recommend Tariq any time. read more

Off The Hook has been my barber shop of choice since 2015. OTH has many excellent characteristics. Some of these features are a friendly environment, professional barbers with couth, and the shop stays clean and inviting. Although I'm sure all the barbers are talented, one particular barber that I would like to recommend is Tariq. Tariq's talent is unmatched and, for my own life, unprecedented. During the week TUE-THU, he is available for prearranged appointments, and his first come first served system for FRI and SAT is innovative! Parking is never really a problem either as there is street parking consistently available and there is a paid lot right next door. If you are searching for a new shop to manage your grooming needs, I definitely recommend Tariq and Off The Hook. read more

Wasn't much expectation from me, so I wouldn't be disappointed. Boy, was I wrong. The energy and vibe of the shop was good. Matured and professional conduct by the staff. My barber, Mr. Tariq, was such a great intellectual and skillful barber. I loved my cut and experience. Proud to have made the step into this shop. They got my loyalty and recommendation. read more

OFF THE HOOK BARBERSHOP hands down is the BEST Barbershop in the ATL!! Great customer service, friendly barbers and respectable patrons. I found OTH by doing an internet search summer June 2017 after not having success with reliable barbers who know what they are doing. I was so impressed with the reviews and pictures, I had to take my son there to try them out. We came early one Saturday morning as a walk-in and within 5 minutes my son was in JACE's chair. At the time I didn't know he was the barber my son and I was hoping to get based on his pics online. His cuts are clean and very precise! From a fade, high-top Gumby to a low cut with waves... JACE can do it all. My son has a weekly standing appointment. Communication is key to success!! If for whatever reason, I'm not able to make it or need to change my date/time due to travel or my sons football schedule. I just let JACE know and we adjust accordingly and vice versa...No worries!! I Love the positive environment! From the uplifting conversations to the best R&B Old School line up in town. (DJs need to come and take note.) I could just sit in there all day and get my groove on. Seriously... you need to check out my son's barber JACE at OFF THE HOOK BARBAR SHOP!! Let the name speak for itself... It's "OFF THE HOOK!!" and we love being a part of the "OTH Family!" read more

I came to this barbershop on a short trip/getaway from home. I had never been here and my father to be took me as he is a loyal customer. I was set to get my haircut by a man I believe to be named Joe (or that's what I remember, sorry Joe). He was great. He cut my hair exactly how I like it and more. I'm very particular about who cuts my hair but I felt like I had been going to him for years. His skills are top! And though it's simple as far as his method, it's all that you need. I would go back every time if I could and sadly I will be going home some time from now but if I am to return, Joe, you've got a customer. PS he also has great conversation and is down to earth! read more

worst barbershop the city! do not visit! if the other barbers are like tariq, they are unprofessional immature and bad at communicating. i don't understand how they still in business because the service is awful. was never greeted, waited 45 mins for tariq, only for him to say he would be 4 hours later than what his schedule said. he was so rude and disrespectful about rescheduling my appointment. not to mention the prices change every other day for mediocre haircut! just do yourself a favor and do not even waste your time! read more

Been here 4 times. 3 times as a customer, 1 just breifly with a friend. My preferred barber is no longer here so I got stuck with Maurice. TERRIBLE attitude and mediocre skill. I was actually told by another barber upon leaving to come back and see him, however, I wont be doing so. Prior to my last visit I would rate this barber shop 5 stars. The atmosphere is great and most of the barbers can cut. It's not the shop, it's him. If you're in the area, stop by the shop, the reviews speak for themselves. Go to those the reviews recommend. Do not waste your money on Maurice, dude is terrible. read more

I saw this was right down the street from my job, the prices were reasonable, and the atmosphere is what i'm use to.

Visited this barbershop to get a haircut recently and quite honestly I didn't have the opportunity to get a haircut. Firstly, this shop lives up to its name "off the hook", as the environment is so chaotic that it's very difficult to understand what the heck is going on... there are countless people standing outside, towards rear of the shop, upstairs, etc. And people just pop out of nowhere who are given priority over those who are sitting and waiting. Perhaps these people had appointments.. not sure. My suggestion to who runs or own this barbershop would be to implement some sort of system that acknowledges " walk-Ins" especially given that you readily advertise that walk-Ins are welcome. Make them feel welcome. read more

Coming from a New Yorker raised in Brooklyn this is hands down best shop in the metro area. Clean shop and fair prices. Been coming here for 3 years now best cut and shape up in the city. read more

Been coming for 2yrs straight. Every barber is super strong ! Tariq, always has me looking like money !

Had a great experience in there and Karl did an amazing job at cutting my hair! I will definitely go back.

Found out about Off the Hook from Yelp! Came in town for Morehouse/Spelman homecoming and went to get a cut from Jace. Dude killed it! Great attention to detail and he really listens to make sure that he cuts the way that you want it be cut. He stopped a couple times to point out small things to make sure he was cutting it the way I wanted it cut. His razor edge game is on point too! Literally couldnt have asked for a better barber! Go see Jace when youre in ATL! He'll get you right! read more

The BEST Barbershop in Atlanta!!! Short wait times, Amazing haircuts! You Must come here!!

I have been a client at this barbershop for many years. My barber is Therelle and he consistently provides amazing service. He's personable, friendly, and incredibly awesome with his technique. Overall, the environment in the shop is like a big family. Although I do not reside in Atlanta any longer, I still get the same energy when I return. This is a staple in the community and whenever I'm in town and need a cut, this is the only place I trust. read more

When I moved from California to Georgia there definitely wasn't a lack of black barbershops in Atlanta. I've been to a number of places from from the east side to the west side to the south side. .. nnnnoott really up north God bless their hearts. When I came to off the hook I was in limbo. Going to the east to have my haircut by a dude who constantly swore in front of little kids and women. Frequently sent his buddies to the package store to get his drink of choice and would drink while I was in the chair. Needless to say when I came to "Off the Hook" I was happy at the level of professionalism. Once I sat in Tariqs chair he made sure I would be taken care of and I voiced my concerns I had with other barbers and assured me that it wouldn't happen here. It's been 2 years and I haven't left off the hook our Tariqs chair. Check him out the guy is a genius and always has good positive conversation flowing. It's an experience along with a good cut. read more
