Great barbers, at a great price! Let's go! But seriously, just book your cut already!

In Denver for work and needed a haircut bad before I leave back home. Drew was my barber and did a fantastic work. I cannot say anything negative about my experience here at all. He took his time on my cut and was very professional. Gave me his opinions on what would look good with my hair and he put in work. The staff I met here was very nice and welcoming. I would highly recommend coming by this barbershop read more

Been going to Mikey for a number of years now and have never had a bad cut. I often come in looking like a Yeti or a mountain man, and he does an excellent job of getting me cleaned up and looking sharp. I bounced around shops before finding Ollie's and they've been my go to shop every since my first cut. It's nice to have a barber that remembers how you like your hair done, so unless you're looking for something new, you can usually just have a seat and have a chat while he gets to work. He's cut mine and a number of friends' hair for a good while now and we all go back especially for him. Mikey is a great dude. Would highly recommend him if you're ever in the market for a haircut. read more

Got a haircut by Adam. Worst haircut. I came with long hair and he had an open canvas and messed it up I asked for a mid fade but with a shadow. He did it high and tight and way too short essentially and under cut. Then when I realized this wasn't going well I told him to stop and he said no and could fix it and it just got worse and worse. After he was done they all kicked me out treated me unprofessionally, told me to F***U , to F***off and to never come back because I told him that he gave me the worst haircut I ever had. Also I was trying to still pay the guy but his colleague next to him kept yelling at me to get the F***out. So one good thing is he didn't want to take my money. Which is fair because it was Garbagio. read more

Ollie's was recommended to me by a coworker after I mentioned my dissatisfaction with large haircut chains. I was lucky to get an appointment with Orlando (O.J) who is usually booked up and now I know why! He's a magician! I asked for a skin fade with a little bit off the top. I mentioned my pesky cowlick and he went to work. The precision he cuts hair with and the care he takes to make sure everything is blended, layered, and clean is incredible! This was by far the sharpest haircuts I've ever gotten! My wife loved it and I constantly received compliments. The second time I saw OJ was 6 weeks after my first haircut and my hair still looked good! You know it's a great haircut when you can go weeks in between cuts and not worry about your hair because it grows in properly. A huge shout out to all the other barbers at Ollie's as well. As I get my cut I saw attention to detail and everyone leaving Ollie's looked great! Whoever you book with will take care of you at Ollie's. read more

Ollie team; the last three visits have been disappointing. Been with you guys on and off for the last 5Y. Quality has come down. The last cuts were bad; cuts weren't straight, pieces of hair were longer while others short. First time this happened I thought it was a one time error. Then it happened again a few weeks later so I decided to switch and use you guys only in the event my other barber wasn't available. My last visit I ran late due to traffic. I appreciate you taking care of me after being later than 10 min. This said; 1) the attitude I got was terrible, 2) you cut my hair in less than 10 min and I was outta there before all other customers who were on time, 3) the cut was again embarrassing. No offense but my 6Y old daughter could have done a better job. You guys have a great location, and obviously have a lot of great reviews. Perhaps it has made you obnoxious, rude, or condescending towards customers. I definitely hope never having to visit you again and I will discourage anyone from using your service. read more

I've been coming to Ollie's for a little under 5 years now. Ollie's is a classic, no BS, spot that offers exceptional haircuts. OJ has kept my fade and beard on point and I highly recommend him to anyone and everyone. However, this shop is not for those that want a salon experience. At Ollie's, you're not getting your hair washed while sipping a glass of champagne. So if you're looking for that, Ollie's is not for you. Conversely, if you're looking for a place that will get you looking right without some of the frills that other places offer, then book OJ and be prepared to have everyone ask where you get your haircut. Cheers. read more

First time coming in for a appointment at Ollies. Adam did a phenomenal job with my hair. Wanted something different and he answered! Will be coming back again 10/10. Atmosphere was great and friendly. read more

This is the best barbershop in Denver hands down! Derek is the best barber I've ever had in my life. Also the staff here is amazing and great conversations. Everyone that I saw leave here had a great cut. Thanks Derek for explaining the process of how my hair lays down so I can keep it looking the same as when I left your chair!!!! read more

Single worst haircut I've ever had. Derek seemed annoyed right off the bat. He said he understood what i wanted but just seemed confused. He asked questions but didn't bode confidence. At the end, I asked him to raise the blend line in the back and he didn't wanna do it. Don't ask me what I think, if you're just gonna argue with me and not want to make any adjustments telling me "that's a totally different haircut" just to get out of it. That must be an industry standard line. All i asked was to raise the blend line. He didn't. He left it chunky, abrupt, and still too low. My sideburns weren't blended. Just chopped off abruptly and not even straight. Plus. Website says 30-45 min for a scissor cut. I was in and out in 25. So why you don't want to take a couple extra minutes to make any changes beats me. Their attitude is also just snotty. I get a "we cut your hair and you give us our money" kind of feel. On their website it says. "No refunds. We hand you a mirror for a reason". In the store they have a sign that says "Don't belong? Don't be long!" And my guy was just not friendly and wasn't concerned with making the customer satisfied. Made sure to explain to me "what a barber shops job is". Maybe he felt I was being picky. But I'll never go to these guys again. read more

Great cut by Brent. Friendly. Great convo. Good clean quick and easy. Highly recommend.

I can't say enough good things about Mikey. I met this guy at a previous barbershop in Five Points when I first moved to Denver. I've always had a bad experience with barbers in the past with inconsistent haircuts and I kind of just started to accepted that until I came to Mikey. I hit the jackpot when I selected him at random at that first shop and since then, he's been able to consistently deliver for almost the last two years now. I happily followed him down to Ollie's. Now onto Ollie's, the guys that work there are a blast to be around, always a welcoming environment, lots of laughs and a good atmosphere all around. Thanks to all of you! read more

The guy doesn't even know what a buzz cut is. Jesus i should've just done it myself. Terrible

Solid haircut, but cash only in 2020 with no ATM onsite is extremely inconvenient. "Go to Whole Foods and buy something, get cash back, come back and pay is their advice." read more

Very specific case, but went in to ask about scheduling time to bring my groomsmen in before my wedding. The guy there gave me the owner's email. I emailed him, didn't hear back. Got bounce backs from the email address on the website because their mailbox was full. The phone number doesn't get picked up. While when I was in there, the guy said they had availability, by the time I heard back from the owner a week later he says they're booked... Anyway, I can't speak to the haircuts themselves, but if you're looking to bring in a group, it's probably not the right place. read more

My first true barber shop experience was great. Cameron styled my hair perfectly. Blended my beard, razor shave on the neck and around the ears, faded perfectly and the little touch ups with the razor went a long way. Really enjoyed the cross talk with other clients and barbers. Furthermore Ollie's retro barbershop style and decor was on point, really makes you feel like your back in the day. Looking forward to continued cuts at this diamond in the rough. read more

was a lil skeptical of the higher price then what I normally get but cam got me right

I have received two haircuts from Ollie's now, and I'm sold. The quality you get for the cost is fantastic. The atmosphere is great. This is what a barbershop should be. The barbers clearly have good rapport with each other. They balance listening to you, and gently guiding you towards what they think will work best for you. What really blows my mind, is that they manage to get this all done in only 30 minutes! That said, I think the 30 min window is a double edged sword. Skilled speed should be applauded and rewarded. That said, it would be nice to relax a little more, and have more time. They can certainly accommodate you for a little more $$. Personally, I do not like that business model. It feels like that business model puts a little pressure on the customer (new ones in particular). So, for that reason I gave Ollie's 4 stars instead of 5 Stars. But I would give them 4.5 stars if I could. So far as the Haircut itself, these guys know what they're doing!! I've had success asking them to do specific requests, and giving them the reins. Either way, you will be in good hands. Overall, I would say this may not be the best place to begin a Hair Knowledge journey if you're looking for folks to speak details with, as they run on a tight schedule. But if you are the trusting type, or already know exactly what you want, then it is a great atmosphere w/ great Value! read more

I just moved to Denver and was recommended this place my friend who has been going there for a long time, so I decided to give it a shot. Well, I'm not impressed. they are booked out at least a week or so in advance, which is somewhat understandable. But when I got there, I was three minutes late to the appointment due to the parking situation around there (street parking), and the first thing OJ says to me is "well, you're late." Yes, I'm aware and that's definitely not the first thing you say to a customer. Rubbed me the wrong way. The haircut was OK, not terrible and not spectacular either. At the end I asked him to make a small refinement and got pushback from him. And, they charge $25 for a haircut, without a wash. A bit pricey for the services/lack thereof that they offer. Oh and the parking is miserable here. Will be looking for other alternatives in the city. read more

First time here, last time here. Discussed with barber what I wanted before the cut--nothing special--keep it longer in the back and the sides. He acknowledged and proceeded to cut it short in back and sides. Might have spent 20 minutes (could have been 15) giving me a haircut and then charged $5 more than quoted on the phone. That they weren't friendly would not have mattered if they had done good work--they didn't. read more

Could not find a good haircut for the life of me until Ollie's. Super chill guys, even chiller shop dog. Appointment only makes it super quick and easy. They always go the extra mile and make sure I'm satisfied. Awesome spot! (OJ is the man) read more

My experience with Ollie's was appreciated on so many levels. I just moved to Denver recently and this was my first haircut in town. That endeavor can be, and has been, a nightmare but this time around, nothing but ease. Derek was great, I can't recommend him enough. He was personable and yet focused. Best haircut I've had in years. The price was right, the space is clean and comfortable, and overall, just solid. read more

Got my first Cut in Denver from Derek - couldn't be any happier with my cut! He took his time and very precise about his work! The hair cut proves it, thanks Derek! read more

Ollie's Barbershop - Barbers Near Me - Denver, Colorado

When they say it's appointment only-means you are not worthy for a haircut. Two guys hanging out, I'm sure they could've taken me in but I wasn't some one who was local or was they've seen before. I now get my hair cut at NOVO barbers down the street. Much friendlier and welcoming. Zero stars read more

Oj is not lenient with appointments who are late. He also takes the opportunity to correct and belittle people on his "knowledge of hair." Overall he was rude enough to make me want to not return again. Pro: he is good with angles and layering. Mediocre with fades read more

This barbershop can be summed up in two words, great cut. These guys know what they are doing. All of the lads are super friendly. The environment is old school and warming. The only reason I can't give them a 5 star is because I had to wait out in the cold approximately 10 mins past my scheduled appointment time. Other than that they are superb. I will be going back. read more

There's 2 places on earth that you can solve all the worlds problems... the firehouse kitchen table and a legit barbershop. It doesn't get more legit than Ollie's. Clean haircuts, tight fades and all the personalities that you need in a good shop. Their minimal availability speaks to their work and my only bad experience I've had was when I made an appointment on the wrong day and they couldn't make it happen. That led me to go down the street to a Floyds which led to a busted haircut. But again, that's on me. My only gripe is I can't walk in whenever I want to get tightened up. When you bitch about lack of services they offer, remember it's because they do a few things and do them really well. It's like getting mad at a food truck that won't cook you off the menu shit. It's just not what they do. Make an appointment! Bring cash! read more

Good haircuts, no nonsense. I've gone to several of the barbers here and have always been happy.

I've already written one for the first Ollie's in the Highlands. Glad I can finally write one for the new shop, run by (in my opinion) the best barber in the whole crew. Cameron is not only the most personable out of all the guys, but he keeps the best rapport with his regulars (myself included). This shop is much larger and more inviting than the original (although I will gladly admit to the charm of the original). Cameron has done an incredible job of keeping the original, classic barbershop feeling of the old Ollie's, while still bringing a fresh vibe. One of my biggest complaints with the old shop was how difficult it had become to get an appointment with short notice. This shouldn't really be a complaint because it means that one of my favorite local businesses is doing well. However...I suggest booking your time with Cameron (or any of the other very experienced barbers at his shop) NOW while they are still building clientele. It's likely going to be a short time before they are just as busy as the old shop. Plus, as I said in my other review...they'll leave you looking sharp. read more

I'm beginning to lose faith in Yelp. This isn't just a one-star review because I'm angry (though I am), but because this was the worst haircut I have ever received, including the one that I got when I entered the military. I came in with a slightly shaggy version of a standard men's haircut and came out looking like a clown. I can no longer part my hair as Adam shaved all of the hair off up to where my part used to be, which leaves my head having a distinct pointy look. In addition to this, he shaved all the way up to my crown, but left it mostly intact, so I have this permanent chunk of hair that hangs out over the shaved section, just kind of dangling like some weird reverse comb-over. Most frustrating was the attitude of the owner, Cam, who blamed it on "miscommunication" and told me "it'll grow back", but never apologized for the shoddy work. He did have the good graces, at least, to not charge for the haircut, but his attitude was terrible. It's a real shame. I wanted to love this place. It's walking distance from my house and, had it been even just mediocre, they could have expected decades of business from me. It looks like a what an old fashioned barber shop should, but it is grossly incapable of giving an old fashioned, normal men's haircut. Avoid this place like the plague. read more

Finding a barber or hairstylist is tough. It can become a trial and error experience. After not being completely happy with my previous barber, I ended up looking on Yelp to find a new barber. The reviews for Ollie's were amazing (the previous location) and I knew I had to give the guys a shot. Walking into the shop reminded me of the barbershop I used to visit with my dad as a child and the barbershops my grandpa used to work at. It has that old school vibe for sure. I ended up making an appointment with Cameron - the shop's owner - and boy was I blown away by my haircut. He's a master with the clippers and with scissors and you can tell he takes great pride in what he does. I have only been here twice in the past couple of months, but my hair looks better and is more manageable than it has been ever. All of the other guys give great cuts as well as evidenced by how folks walk out looking. Plus, the prices are extremely affordable for the quality of service - the quality far surpaases the local chains and for about the same price. (Tip: they only accept cash) A great addition to the Wash Park neighborhood and some of the best barbers in Denver. read more

Ollies is the absolute best barber shop out there. The friendliest staff, and extremely talented. Will never go to anyone besides Cam. 10/10 WOULD REC. read more

I started going to Ollie's when it was based in the Highlands back in 2010 (before I even moved to Denver). I have always enjoyed my time with these guys. The atmosphere of the shop is great, and they are dog friendly. Cameron is the guy. He'll always do an amazing job, and make sure you're happy. You'll want to hit up their website and schedule an appointment, they are generally full at least a few days out. read more

Going to be a returning customer. They helped me reach my hair goals. They explained to me what to do and how to cut my hair in the future to reach my dream haircut. I recommend Joe ! He didn't just give me a great haircut but showed me how to get my dream haircut read more

I came back into the area in Nov (I know, I know - "people stop moving here!" - if it makes any difference, I was born here). Looking for a decent barber shop, that could cut my hair, the way I like. After going to the same place back in Washington DC for years, I was on the lookout for a good barber shop. I tried one place in the Denver Tech Center, it was not bad, but the skill level didn't warrant the price. Ollie's was actually cheaper, than the place I went to, but did a way better job. My barber was Luis. Cool guy, raised in Colorado. I told him what I used to do, and what I want to do (was trying something new). Looks great. He took his time, asked questions, and took time to listen to the particulars I requested. The shop itself is cool, they have an awesome dog that kind of just hangs out. I didn't know the history of Ollie's, Luis told me how it came to be. Funny story, I won't ruin it. If you go, just ask. The guys themselves were funny, cracked up a few times while getting my cut. All in all good experience. Parking is easy, tons of street parking. I found a spot, right by the joint. Pros -Funny guys -Professional -Attentive -Dog -Appointments - It's nice to walk in, and get right to the cut. Cons -None really, I live far, but that's my own fault. Should be easier, when I find a spot closer to the city. read more

Ollie's Barbershop - Haircut from Jeremy Rauch - Barbers Near Me - Denver, Colorado

I'd been letting my hair grow, partially because I liked it long and partially because I'd had a long-standing distrust of barbers. I decided on impulse to get a haircut, searched yelp, and - after biking through snow - walked in around 5:30 on a Thursday. Derek was the barber taking walk-ins. I was concerned that he'd be rushed, since they close at 6. However when 6:05 hit, he was still focused on perfecting my side-burns and part. He spent about 20 minutes after closing to ensure that I had a fantastic haircut and walked out feeling happy. I'm not suggesting that they'll do this every time or even some of the time, but the commitment and perfectionism that went into this haircut deserved more than just a tip. This barbershop is well worth it. I haven't been in again yet since my cut was only last week, but I know that I'll be back. read more

I've been here a few times and most the guys are cool and know how to cut hair but one in particular has a bad attitude and cuts your hair wayyy shorter than you ask. I most likely will be taking my $30 elsewhere read more

Every barber in this shop knows how to chop it up. Best cut in town. They fade like pros and can give a mean beard trim. Free beers too. Don't look any further read more
