Great haircut, appreciate your shop being open and the wait time was nice. Everyone was really nice and I received a great haircut!

Great spot for haircut and styling. Skilled barbers and friendly place. Note: call ahead to get you a spot.

Son got his hair cut there and they listened to exactly he wanted-it was not too short! Amazing vibe and great music!!

My 2 teenage son's got cuts here a few times so far and it's the only place they will go now. Very professional and talented stylists. Nice clean shop. Easy parking. Quick service. read more

The vibe from this place was amazing; 100% recomendado, they have a great service and a comfortable place. Excellent coffee and donuts. I love to see when people love what they do and this is definitely one of those places. I'm from Texas but I hope to see you all again whenever I come back read more

Although there are some redeeming qualities to the shop and possibly better barbers in the shop, unfortunately I cannot recommend the business because of the quality of cut I got, price of the work, amount of time it took, and needing to constantly coach the barber through a simple cut. First, the good; the shop has a good taste in music and vibes. They did try to work through the hair cut and listened to my suggestions. That is about all I can say that went well. Overall quality of the cut was poor; they missed placed an obvious part line, did a botched job working on keeping the top flat, and had poor blending skills. For all of this they are asking for $40 for a standard cut and even more if you include a basic shave. In my opinion, there are better deals pretty nearby. My simple cut of straight sides of a constant length and trim on the top with enough to push back took upwards of 1:45 with at least three re-attempts to fix it before I gave up on the effort. It is annoying to constantly re-explain the cut and have to coach the barber through the most basic of procedures to get a mediocre cut in the end. Only time I would go back is if my typical barber is out of town and I am in desperate need read more

Anyone looking for a great experience for their son and an absolutely fresh cut, this is the spot! Tommy is simply fantastic with his customer service, cuts, and is extremely accommodating, especially when I incorrectly booked! My son walks out of the shop taller, happy, and full of confidence! They do a nice job of turning an adult atmosphere into an age appropriate and kid friendly experience as soon as he walks in and it's appreciated greatly! Alyaa does a great job with tinting and threading eyebrows! Come see her and let her hook it up for you!! read more

When I fly in from Texas, I make it a point to stop on here for a line up. Simply the finest beard fade ever. These gentlemen are maestros of the clippers. Straight artists. Highly recommend. read more

I USED to like this place but not anymore. I've had 5~6 haircuts from here total. I'd have say of 4~5 of my visits, my wait was OVER AN HOUR LONG [not an exaggeration] for a walk-in cut. I honestly have to say that I have received only 2 good haircuts here. The haircut before last was sub-par. The last haircut was a disaster. I found the barber [I think his name is Jose] was rushed and honestly did not pay attention to cutting my hair -- he was too focused on looking at his phone and talking with his co-workers about buying some gold-trimmed Lamborghini clippers. The edges were not clean. He didn't trim well along the ears and sides of my neck. The fade was uneven and poorly executed. If you are providing a service to a customer then you should pay attention to the customer and perform the service properly. Also on the last 2 visits, his [Jose, I think] clippers were dull (or just needed an adjustment) and nicked my skin several times. I could understand this happening on one visit but, two visits in a row -- give me a break. The thing that really gets me is he knew his clippers were bad during both visits. Thomas will probably come on here and praise his employees and claim how this establishment provides the best service. But, I disagree Thomas. The customer service provided by this business is lacking. Customers shouldn't have to look at their haircut afterwards while in the chair and say, "Hey can you clean that up a little better please." The service provided should be done right the first time without distractions or interruptions. And my claim on the length of wait of over an hour IS NOT AN EXAGGERATION. Thomas might say otherwise but he would be lying if he did. And one last note... If you're a hipster you'll probably love this place. If you don't mind non-stop, repetitive Bob Marley music OR crude rapli with excessive expletives OR other hip-hop tunes that promote joggin' your bitches and slappin' your hoes, then you'll fit right in. If that's your forte, then Godspeed to you. With that, I will never step foot in this establishment again. read more

Great experience! Tommy was excellent with my adult son, who has autism: he was respectful and flowed with my son's innocent exuberance AND, he made my son look REAL SHARP for his Dad's funeral the next day. I recommend them and I will be back! read more

Great atmosphere, clean, very nice staff. Myles did an excellent job and was super friendly. Easy to talk to, genuinely nice guy. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in town. read more

I arrived with my 2 boys and my husband for them to get a haircut. We were not pleased with Jose's work. It took him 50 minutes (!!!!)to give my son a simple haircut, my son told me it even hurt him, and the outcome was very disappointing. Berto on the other hand served my other son and my husband. He was faster, thank god, and gave them a good haircut. If we will be back there, we will definitely ask only for Berto! read more

I came here at the referral for a friend who we previously shared a hairstylist with. Our hairstylist moved on to a company role at a large hair-care company and so we were left without a good hairstylist/barber. The Real Barber Shop was a great find, I've been here 3 times now and each time had a great experience with Jacob. Come in roughly once a month and get my hair cut, and beard trimmed. Each time great attention to detail is given, and it is not a trim haircut and done. Jacob is very professional and knowledgeable, great for asking hair-care questions. The only challenging thing for me is the 6pm close time, I work ~45min drive away from this place, and unless I work from home, or on a Saturday, its hard to get in sometimes, but that just comes with the territory of finding a good barber and them being in demand. read more

My 5yr old son had services done by Tommy. I loved how patient, and detail oriented he was with my son without my son getting antsy or irritable. Just observing him with my son I could see he really takes pride in his "art", he's very meticulous. It was his second time getting cut by someone other than his father (who also cuts hair) and I was highly pleased with the results of the cut (as was my husband), very precise, and exactly what we asked for. We look forward to coming back soon! read more

Just a real barber shop! My husband was greated by the guys outside and walked right into a chair for a serious make over! He wasn't sure what to do so Jose and Tommy helped him pick out a new style, and were patient with him when he was indecisive. Jose cut off inches, and gave him a nice fade, all the while I sat back jamming to some Outkast. read more

I needed to find a back up barber since our regular one was out of town. I was really worried about having a new place cut my son's hair. I'm happy to say my worries were unfounded and he got a really nice fade here. The shop is very nice and clean. Employees are friendly too. They cut all sorts of hair types and they did great working with my son's curly hair. This is another barber I would recommend to others. read more

Great vibe and these guys can cut hair! Also recommend the eyebrow clean up from Aaliyah.

My go to place to get a great cut now. These guys (especially Tommy) give great cuts, lots of attention to detail work. A little pricier than some but worth it. Does help if you know what kind of cut you want and the terminology to describe it. This site can help: http://www.ties.com/blog/hair-terminology-tell-barber-exactly-want Overall, great place to get a haircut. Hopefully these guys are around for a *long* time. read more

Really nice guys and music was super fun. I came in to get my undercut cleaned up and get a new design. I asked for tighter edges, fade, and tapering. The person who worked on me did a nice job and definitely cleaned up the lines. One piece of advice, though. If you want them to do a design on you, go in with a specific idea in mind. Or, better yet, bring a picture. Don't tell them to just do whatever and expect to be absolutely in love with what they've come up with. read more

This is the best barber in the area, im absolutely glad i discovered this place because it's kinda hidden in small plaza off Washtenaw ave . I had a fresh hair cut just like the way i wanted and lined up my beard. Very reasonable price, clean place, and most importantly they respect their costumers. Both Tommy and Welda are awesome ! read more

I completely agree with the other reviews commending everybody's attention to detail. In fact, they are always able to provide me with a well-done, stylish haircut even if I only have a vague idea about what I want, and that is what makes this place spectacular! There can sometimes be a fairly long wait time, but the HBO GO helps pass the time (and I also really like their taste in background music). read more

Hands-down this is the best barbershop in the area I've been going here for two years and I finally decided to leave a review I have commitment issues just kidding but friendly and attentive barbers Great atmosphere completely affordable for the experience and the quality of the cut definitely try this place out every barber in there has been there for a while and has a lot of experience with all types of diverse haircuts read more

These guys are professional, talented, and friendly in a real (not corny) kind of way. We brought our son for his 11th birthday because he wanted a tight fade with a design on one side from a real barbershop... so we did some research and found REAL! So glad we did. Jose did a great job. The shop called us this morning to make sure we were happy and to wish our little guy Happy Birthday one more time. We'll be back again to thank them! If you want a tight cut, check them out. read more

Walked in to this place and was professionally serviced. I am not your typical client, yet was treated in a very respectful manner in my request. They didn't even bat an eye in my request to get a haircut as a female. I love having my hair very short and neat, which is why I seek out barber shops over salons. The person who cut my hair was very detailed and you can tell took a lot of pride in their work and doing a good job. Thank you so much for the excellent service. read more

Just moved to the area in April and I've gone to a couple of different places so far. This place has been my favorite and I think I may stop going to different places. Tommy cut my hair and did my beard and didn't force chatter. I'm not a talkative kind of person until I get comfortable and he didn't force it but he was super nice. Haircut was excellent. I wasn't very helpful and told him to do what he wanted. What he did was better than I expected. He was incredibly detailed and seemed to be a perfectionist and the results were exceptional. If you are looking for a barber in the Ypsi/Ann Arbor area this is the place you should go. read more

First time I tried this place out because it had high reviews. I called ahead and they told me to come in and there was no wait. I go there, and wait over 50 minutes while several people just walk in and they take them ahead of me. Very rude staff nobody even addressed me or let me know how much longer etc. So, if you love paying $30 for a haircut, rude staff and loud Latino music this is your place. I'd never go back. read more

3 years later I'm still taking the boys here. Never had less than a great experience.

Update: I've had my hair cut from Real Barber Shop 3 times now, and have always been pleased with the results. I've had it cut with multiple barbers, and they were all really good. All of the barbers are very friendly and extremely knowledgeable. If you have any questions about how to style your new haircut, they have great recommendations. 5 star review remains. read more

What can I say about this barbershop that has not been said already. This place provides an quality haircut and other grooming services. I personally have been here 3 times and will continue to recommend this spot to all my friends. They take their time and provide recommendations to ensure you get the haircut you want. Highlights of the place: -Clean -Affordable -Able to set up an appointment -Accepts all major credit cards (most barbers I know are cash only) -Friendly read more

I stumbled into Real Barber Shop and thought I would get a quick hair cut. It is Thomas's attention to detail, professionalism and personality that has kept me (and my 3 boys) coming back. read more

This is a barber shop run by Tony. He is the only worker there, but he is great and quick. The shop is actually located at the the back of Ole latino services. I have been going to him for over a year now. read more

Top tier barbershop in the Ann Arbor-Yipsi area. Everyone in the shop knows exactly what they're doing and they do it incredibly well. I've gotten my hair cut by Jacob, Gio, and Tommy, and each time it's absolutely fantastic. Parking is very easy and their prices are reasonable for what they do for you. Make sure to make an appointment if you can, but walk-ins are more than welcome (use the phone number that is provided). Highly recommend this place to anyone who wants that real barbershop feel. (no pun intended!) read more

I had a great experience getting a cut here. Jose went above and beyond to give me a clean, modern cut and trim up my beard. In my opinion, this was worth the $25 price tag for a good look. I will definitely continue to get my haircut here. I was able to walk in and be taken care of pretty quickly but I have a feeling that will not always be the case. I recommend calling ahead and scheduling an appointment. read more

Great haircut. Took a while but the guy went slow and careful and made sure it was perfectly clean. I wasn't in a hurry so no big deal. Not many places get my hair just right because of the way it grows. The only thing I didn't see was a list of prices. That would be nice to know. read more

My first time in this shop today. Tommy gave me precisely what I wanted. I'll definitely be back.

Clean shop. Good cut. Fast(ish). Reasonable $$ ($13 cash, $14 credit). Good parking. Near decent restaurants too.

Just moved to A2 and found my regular spot. Great cut, great conversation, and Apple TV, what more could you ask for? Tommy hooked it up.

Tommy new exactly what he was doing and my haircut looks great. At $13 it's definitely a bargain.

Tommy is the best barber I have had in a long time. I move a lot and it is always hard to find good barbers. He handles the shop with the utmost professionalism. He takes his time with every client and makes sure each client gets what they want. Overall, definitely deserving of 5 stars. read more

Been going to the "chain" salons and recently a more upscale ($$$) one in Ann Arbor. Been wanting to try this place for a while decided to go today. I wasn't disappointed. The haircut was on par or better than the more expensive shops. I'll definitely be going back! read more
