David was awesome. I lucked out big time. He was just finishing up a cut and fit me right in. Cleaned me up and I left feeling fresh! If you're looking for a good barber with flair and a great disposition; call David at Rogue's on Division Street in Portland! read more

Very talented, got in last minute right before they closed. Took very excellent care and detail-oriented process was admirable. Felt comfortable during a windy and rainy day. Looking sharp! read more

Solid barbershop experience, took off a star because I really like a hot towel/straight razor clean up after the cut. I feel like that's de rigeur for the vibe, but not everyone does it. They should tho! read more

Hey, quick question...any interest in looking UNBELIEVABLE? Yes? Get to Rooks and see Christine! The shop is clean with a great old school vibe. Complimentary drinkies if your parched half way through your service. Good pricing. Covid Guidelines strictly enforced. Now to the star at the top of the Christmas tree-Christine. Christine is the coolest. Cooler than your local Trader Joe's manager. Cooler than the other side of the pillow. Cooler than that feeling you get when a random French fry makes it into your nugget order. I thought I was cool, but I was wrong...she's cooler. Her coolness is matched with incredible technique and service. She is meticulous in her process and only wants her clients to leave feeling their best. Highly recommend ! read more

Living in Southeast Portland my entire life has been a great experience, especially when it comes to supporting local businesses. I definitely understand that sometimes people have bad days or are just in their own world...that being said I sat down in a man's chair they call gator at Brooks barbershop on division. I clearly stated in my appointment that I was there for a sideburn neckline trim, clearly described what kind of shape I wanted for my neckline, even pointed out another customers hair as an example. 10 minutes later, this guy they called gator, said he was done. The shape was clearly not there. The neckline was uneven, and the trim was patchy at best. To which gator responded "my bad". I chuckled and asked him to please clean up the lower part of the neckline and I would be out of there telling him that I would have to razor the line out myself to get it straight. Then the guy tried me 30 bucks when it clearly states 15 for neckline trim, which is what I got ( patchy, uneven and not the shape or design I asked for. I gave the guy $15 plus a five dollar tip and left disgruntled and unhappy. Every other time for the past three or so years, I've gotten great service happy people talkative, genuine, substance to the people behind you on the chair. If you want to be overcharged for a haircut, that is not what you asked for and response given is my bad/service with the snarl. Go talk to gator he will hook you up..

Rooks may have been one of the spots to restore the man's barbershop in the Portland scene. If it is important to you to get a beer while being shorn, go for it. My hair guru is on parental leave, so I stopped in here recently. Ok cut. Not cheap but not expensive. Not low quality and not dialed in either. It's not a 2 star Supercuts and my hair is growing in ok. 3.5 stars. read more

Just had a cut there with Lita. She did a fantastic job and we had a very enjoyable conversation. Nice location too. Old-time barbershop decor and vibe without being at all precious about it. I'll definitely go back. read more

In a vast sea of stereotypically "unique" barbershops that litter the Portland landscape, one rises above the others, poking its well-cut head of hair above the waves of skinny jeans and craft beer that form the endless depths of the barbershop ocean - Rooks. This was the second haircut I've had since moving to Portland, the first was a horrific nightmare of a botched side part I received on the recommendation of a roommate (whom I no longer trust, nor speak to) at a chain barbershop I had never heard of before. It was seriously one of the worst haircuts of my life, and right before a job interview, too (still got the job though). Ian at Rooks was a much needed improvement. I told him what I wanted and he was able to translate it into the barber-ese that I am not fluent in (I don't know what a no. 4 is, dudes). The dude not only knows how to translate from American English into barber-ese, but is able to execute the haircut with aplomb. In addition to actually being able to execute the cut, he made the experience pleasant with just enough chit chat that I felt comfortable letting him run his skilled shears through my hair, but not enough talk that it felt forced or was taxing on me. As someone who spends 99% of their workday talking and being talked at, it was a comfortably quiet haircut. I appreciated his inquisitiveness and candor as much as I did his silence. It was a truly remarkable balance between the two. All in all, I definitely recommend this place for its artsy and positive vibe, skilled barbers, and genuine demeanor. A haircut here costs much more than I'm used to paying (I used to have a haircut guy in my hometown that did excellent work for cheap) but the price is equal to other places in Portland and I left feeling like I paid for a quality haircut, not "an experience" that some places here seem to make you pay for. TL:DR - this is a quality barbershop with genuine folks who like to talk about their dogs, and it's all at a reasonable price. read more

Sabastian is amazing. he always takes great care of me and makes me feel pampered from the moment i walk in. I started gettin haircuts with him for almost a year now and I have never seen anybody else since. He knows intuitively what looks good on people. My hair has never looked better. Thanks, Sabastian!!! -Raul read more

I used to really enjoy making the trek to come out here. I scheduled my last visit at Noon for a cut and shave. At 20 minutes past the hour, there was little acknowledgment that they were ruining late, and not a single apology. They were spending most of their time talking about doing drugs and drinking. And really, I don't care what you do in your free time, but if I've taken time out of my day to be there on time, the last thing I need to hear is how high you like to get... and watch you waste time without even saying "hey sorry we are running behind." Seriously, I can get poor service at a number of barber shops without driving across town. It's sad to see a place that seemed so solid get like this. read more

Very happy with my scissor cut from Brieann. The cut was detailed and did not feel rushed at all. The overall vibe at Rooks was peaceful. I'll be back for sure. read more

I've been getting skin-fades from Lita for well over a year and she is great. Very personable and knows what she's doing. The shop itself is small and relaxing. read more

Free soda is offered to customers. Small place. Friendly and relaxing. They finished my cut with the razor blade. read more

This place is legit. I've had a lot of bad or OK cuts from other shops with otherwise talented barbers. My hair is tricky to cut because I have a double cowlick and fine hair. I just figured my hair sucked and I wasn't able to do anything with it. I'm grateful to have found Rooks. I usually see Bill and every time he cuts my hair it's the best haircut I've ever had. I've had cuts with a couple of the other barbers on his off days, and they're good too. There's no way I would go anywhere else. read more

I was visiting from out of town and needed a haircut. Rudy's is my usual standby but they had a two hour wait! I searched yelp and found this place down the street. Good decision! I only waited about 20 min and they offered a free beer, scotch, whiskey, or coke. Much more relaxed and got a great haircut. read more

Rogue Barber Collective - Barbers Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Hmm -- my first haircut was AWESOME. Dude took his time, asked questions, was super careful. When I realized he was legit, I gave him leeway to do as he wished. I had an amazing clean cut for two weeks. After week three, the grow-out was bothering me so I went back. As he was not available, I went with another person. She did not seem skilled -- I don't know how else to put it. Three DAYS after my cut, it looks unkempt. How? Ugh. Sigh. I will only be back for him. read more

Hands down the best haircut. Place is old school, good prices, friendly, unpretentious, and kills Bishops. Support this place, get a free beer, and a great cut. Or shave! And ask for Mark. He's nice and always cuts my hair perfectly. read more

The first time I came to Portland my friend insisted I get a proper haircut (damn dirty Iowa technohippy!) and the Sunday I flew out, he dragged me to breakfast and we searched for a proper barber. Our first choices were full-up, apparently, but they had open chairs at the Broadway location, so I got my haircut, and swore I'd never get my hair cut anywhere but Portland again. That decision was reinforced when I visited again several months later, and a different location, and got the same stylist as the first time. Three months later I cannot remember her name but she smiled, ask me if I wanted a beer (yes please!) and got me looking fresh. The hot towel to finish things off made me feel proper and ready to fly out again. Nothing quite like strutting through the airport with a super-fresh stylin haircut from one of the ladies at Rooks. I might have to commit to the $400 haircut - $35 for the cut itself, and $350 for the plane ticket. Worth it. read more

I have had experience with Justin, Brian, and Bill over at the other location and have never been disappointed (except for the fact that they were unable to provide a midget playing a cello standing next to a giant playing a ukulele as requested.) Decided to make an appt. with Justin at the new location for last Friday and walked in to find out I had made it for another day. The online site apparently takes you to the first available day by default and not the current day. Bill was there and was happy to get me in after finishing up with another client. Did a great job and I was able to relax with a beer in between the mad rush trying to orchestrate a surprise party for my girlfriend. I have funky hair and they always do a great job. Appropriately, Rooks is quite a step above Bishop's and way better than getting a cut at the Pawn Shop. read more

This review is based on my other half. He usually goes to Rudy's on Division, but found this place driving down Division. He didn't have an appointment the last time he was here, and just walked in a few minutes before closing. Kenzy was more than happy to cut his hair. She offered us drinks. Bonus points. They have beer, liqour, sodas and fruit juices. I happily grabbed a beer and read a magazine. Made an appointment this time around. In less than twenty minutes, he had his cut. I had a drink. Off we went. Make an appointment online! http://www.rooksbarbershop.com/us.html read more

The best barbers of the place have gone off to greener pastures, such as but not exclusively, Refuge. The owner, Justin, was a complete dick when I got my cut from him a little over a year ago. So I went to one of those other barbers at Rooks. But now they're not at Rooks, so I have to bump my rating from 5 to 1. read more

Went in here today after the fam and I grabbed lunch. Walked right in on a Sunday around, 1pm. Friendly greeting, didn't feel awkward walking into a new barber shop. Was seen in about 10 minutes and got a great haircut by Ash. Super friendly guy. Just an all around good experience. Oh and I got a nice Mexican Coke while I waited. read more

So, being new to Portland, I had a very short list of priorities: 1. Find the best coffee in town. 2. Find the best bar in town. 3. Find the best haircut in town. I mean, I can't speak for everyone and I'm in no way credible enough to rate based on other shops, but my experience was phenomenal. Between the amazing, and COMFORTABLE, conversation that I was able to have with my barber and his coworker, I actually forgot that my hair was changing into something completely mysterious. I let him do what he knows best and he didn't face me towards the mirror. At first I didn't know what I was going to do with myself, but I literally felt like I was in the car with someone who has never gotten a ticket in his life, not for being careful, but for being confident. On top of a great atmosphere, my haircut turned out great. They offer a 7 day grace period so that you can get used to your cut and if there's something you don't enjoy too much about it, get in there and have them fix it! I'm going in just to hang out. 5/5 will be back. read more

So I was recommended to go to Rooks and get Corey to do the work. I made my appointment and got right into see Corey and thank god I did!! He is awesome, attentive, listens and is a master at his job! I will drive across the the bridge from Vancouver to see once a month!! read more

This is the only place I am willing to go now. Lita does an exceptional job and I always leave feeling good about my hair. She's quick to adapt to any changes in your hairstyle request and is very kind in trying to help you figure out what you are looking for if you are unsure. I'm one of those annoying picky people and she always gets it right each time! I highly recommend booking an appointment with Lita today!!! read more

My husband and I just moved to Portland and he is VERY specific about how his hair is cut so finding someone who really fits the bill is a tough task. We looked online and to our surprise we quickly found Rooks! There are several barbers at Rooks so we randomly picked Will who turned out to be an absolutely perfect fit! He is very easy to talk to and you can tell he really enjoys his craft! My husband and I both love the atmosphere (yes I come with him) and it's nice when I don't feel alienated or like an outcast waiting at the barbershop with him. They provide free drinks (beer, water, coffee) which is awesome because I get one every single time and happily enjoy it while I wait! There is always parking in the neighborhood behind and it's convenient enough that if I wanted to go shopping the Lloyd center isn't far away. Thank you Will! read more

First off - I am a lady with lady hair, probably not the usual type of patron for this shop! :) I came specifically to see Kenzy after I had gotten a terrible haircut at another salon. She was super friendly, talked to me about what I like/didn't like about my hair, and gave me an honest evaluation of what she could do to make it better. She seemed very knowledgable about cutting women's hair and I left feeling 100% better about myself! Thanks Kenzy!!! :) read more

OK, I've tried coming here twice and both times I've walked away feeling like a fool and looking like one, too. The barbers don't really bother listening to what kind of haircut you want, and just seem fixated on providing the same hipster doofus look. These guys should spend less time on stocking their beer fridge and thinking about what tattoos make them look most edgy and more time actually listening to what their customers want done with their cuts. I will never, ever, ever go in here again. You shouldn't either. read more

Great place to get a fresh haircut. I recently moved back to Portland looking for a nicer haircut and I think I found my new go to barbershop. Just a chill, relaxing, Portland vibe and they have free drinks while you waiting. You can also book an appointment online, I would suggest that. Expect superior quality and detail with your haircut, they spend a good 30+ mins for each haircut. It's not cheap, $30+ but well worth it. They also have several locations so check them out. read more

I have gone to Cady for about a year now to cut my hair, she has been absolutely wonderful and attentive to the hair style I am looking for (not to mention great to chat with). She has recommended a few solid products that I had previously never used that work better than my old products. I haven't been to any of the other barbers at this shop, but if you go definitely ask for Cady if she's available! read more

Christine is the best! I only take my boys to her for their haircuts and this location is perfect to get to and enjoy some of what Portland has to offer. read more

I have never left rooks unhappy. Jeramie is my guy in Portland. He is super attentive to detail which is a quality that is lacking at many barbers I have gone to in this area. read more

I highly recommend Rooks. It was comfortable, clean, old school and unpretentious while also Portland cool - they offered me beer and were super chill. Most importantly, I got a really good haircut. I usually let my hair grow for a year or more and then let a friend chop it all off for better or worse. This time, on a complete whim, I decided to go to an actual barber. I was the last appointment of the day, but when I walked in with my shoulder-length mess and told him to "make me look cool", Ian was completely unphased. He calmly and quickly chopped it off and gave me a really good short haircut that has been getting me daily compliments since. The whole thing took half an hour, but never felt rushed. It was a really great experience overall. read more

I went into Rook's last week for a haircut, having not had one within the past two months or so prior to my visit, feeling rather primitive and having just moved to Portland. I sat down and was instantly assured, by a haircut Cory was giving to a lad of about eight or so (despite the difference in the texture of our respective hairs'), that I would be in for something new. Since my hair isn't the type to be gelled with pomade or product, I was a tad apprehensive -- again, only a tad, and not for long -- I blame the beautiful hairstyles ubiquitous in Portland for my bias. Cory went to work, and his finished product was the appreciated nine/ten I seldom find. Perhaps the ten is being able to be ignorant to one's style; I'm just a joe who went in for a cut, not an aficionado by any standards, spiritual or earthly. He also managed to do all of this without the washing my hair prior to the trim; the dryness of my hair inhibited him on no levels, but yes now my hair has levels, or layers, as the term is used in the barbering world. A typical haircut for me concludes with a reminder of what my variable dresser missed, in reference to general weight, specifically. This time, however, I resolved with a "this is unusual" and then a "wow it's a gem" after a bit of contemplation, provided that the cut was a bit more liberal (referring to quantity, not stereotype) than the usual. Fine job, Cory. Had I taken that shot, I'm sure the "holy shit this really is a gem" would have kicked in even sooner. :) read more

I started going to Rooks years ago now and haven't gotten my hair cut anywhere else since. Justin is quick, no-nonsense, excellent at what he does, and he provides great value. Going there is a treat, and I won't go anywhere else in Portland. read more

Came in Friday 9/13/2013..my first time to a legit barber as I normally go to great clips down the street (don't judge me). I had a good time here, Fabian cut my hair and did a much better job than I had expected. Cool atmosphere, friendly people. I live in vancouver,wa and will certainly make the drive here for my next and all other haircuts. read more

I've been going to Rudy's in the Pearl, but got my hair cut by Mark over at the new SouthEast location on DIvision today -he came highly recommended by a group of mates. I wasn't disappointed. He's attention to detail was great and he used his initiative in suggesting what would work best for my hair and head shape. Loved the hot towel on the neck as an added bonus. I'll definitely be back! read more

Great place sharp people. I would go back, gave it a second try and loved it. There is a reason everyone in town talks about these guys.

Cannot go wrong getting a haircut here. Service is amazing! Great people, enjoyable environment. I don't know think I'm getting my hair anywhere else. read more

This place is awesome. I came in, got a beer and a great haircut. It's a friendly shop, the price is great. I almost never leave reviews but I wanted to for this spot. I'll probably end up coming here until I either die or move away from Portland. 11/10. My hair was a complete shit show when I walked in too because of the last cut I got at another place. It was driving me crazy. So I had this awkward-in-between-length-bad-haircut-situation, but despite all that Jeramie gave me probably the best cut I've ever gotten. The guy's a god damn miracle worker. Everyone here seems very good. You could tell because everyone who came in for a cut seemed like a regular. I never got the sense that they were just churning out cuts. These folks take pride in what they do, you can tell. Just go here. read more
