The barbershop experience I've been looking for. After trying out several different shops around…read morethe city, I think I've finally found my go-to. The vibe is old school but chill. A rather intimate shop with a downtown street view, plenty of cool decor. Ellie cut my hair and did a very good job, patiently giving me suggestions on my particular situation (textured crew cut for thinning AND receding hair). I walked out of there looking great and feeling great! Both her, John the owner, and even the other men getting their cuts provided great conversation and restaurant recommendations. The cut was $35, plus $20 for a little canister of Upper Cut styling powder. At the nexus of cost, service, vibe, and location, this place is solid.

She explained why she was cutting my hair a certain way, which was interesting and cool to hear. It was also obviously that she loved what she did.

I took in pictures of what I wanted and he gave me the best version of what I wanted. He took great care in understanding the type of look I wanted and executed the cut perfectly! Never been happier with a barber. I put a lot of trust in him as I was afraid to cut my hair and he did a wonderful job. Truly a 10/10 experience.

It's true. Men are picky about our beards. Even those among us who say we don't care, make…read moreabsolutely sure we look like we don't care. I've gotten one professional beard trim since COVID. Prior to that every two to three weeks I visited a genius who understood what I was looking for and did impeccable work. Unfortunately, an accident put her out of commission. Then COVID. Then a move across town. I like to change my beard with the seasons. In January through April, I keep it short and usually manage to wrangle it with a trimmer at home. Then, in May I start to grow it short on the sides and a bit longer on the chin. Not at all easy to do. Finally, in fall I go pretty much full Santa, playing his helper with neighborhood kids. I say this all so you get a picture of what this looks like for the hapless barber who messes me up. Well, I need not have worried once I found Stag. I called this morning and the owner, Jess, got me an afternoon appointment with Jordanne. In the meantime, I received a text confirming the appointment and another one about 45 minutes before show time. I met Jordanne at exactly 4:30. She talked about my beard, offered some ideas, asked a lot about preferences, then checked in with me repeatedly along the way. I left relaxed, pleased, and eager to return. On the way out, Jess asked about the service and satisfaction. It was a top notch experience.

This was by far the WORST haircut I have ever had.

We discussed 2 inches off all around. Now I am sat here with .25 inches on the sides and 1.25 on the top. 0/10, extremely upset.

I don't even have hair anymore and I still go here from time to time for a beard trim just for some therapy or as they call it "hairapy". The diverse group of warm welcoming employees and customers always equals great conversation. You are even encouraged to bring your own beer in to share or donate to the beer fund and grab a brew from the mini fridge. I had my hair / beard cut here for my wedding and couldn't have been happier. My best man scheduled a private hair cut party for all of the groomsmen and myself!! Prices have gone up slightly, but they are still reasonable when comparing to these other "new school" barber shops around town. So sit back, have a beer, listen to Metallica on vinyl, have great conversation and enjoy a hot towel treatment. I sure hope Jose's continues on for many years and generations to come.

I came in with an appointment I made 2 hours ahead of time and asked for a haircut I've never tried before. My barber Cam I believe his name was, was extremely chill and only talkative if you entertain him with conversation. Other than that he gave me a great cut but not exactly what I envisioned because I simply described it wrong and he simply did exactly what I asked. Other than that, the vibe of the story is very urban and all the barbers are friendly guys who love talking trash (who doesn't).
