It clearly states on their website that a head shave is $25.00. When it came time to pay, I asked how much. The barber who serviced me said $38.00. Rather than create a stink, I just paid. So 5 stars for the actual service and 0 stars for shaving my wallet as well. Honesty is Always the best policy.

She took her time, paid close attention to how my hair naturally lays, and shaped everything with precision rather than relying on clippers alone. The result looks clean, natural, and easy to manage. She also listened to what I wanted, made thoughtful suggestions, and clearly takes pride in her craft. If you want a barber who really knows how to cut with scissors and give you a polished, tailored look, I highly recommend booking with Karen at Pompetti Master Barber.

One of them (I don't recall his name) didn't listen to what I wanted and faded in the sides ... I had asked for a number 3 on the sides and a 6 on the top. Today I had Joey as my barber. I think my haircut took him about two or three minutes and he was extremely rough. I won't be asking Joey to cut it again. Other than that, this is an economical and speedy place for a cut.

Amazing experience! I was long overdue for a haircut and my beard was an overgrown mess because I…read morewas trying to grow it out to get reshaped after the last place butchered it. I've never been to American Shave before and I scouted them on Yelp before going. They had great reviews except for a couple negative comments about a guy named Maverick, but I was impressed with the owners commitment to follow up and make things right so I took a chance and went in as a walk in. I ended up getting a Signature Cut and Shave. The staff was friendly from the second I opened the door. The drink menu was a nice touch. I was greeted by my barber and when I sat he introduced himself; wouldn't you know...it was Maverick. At first I was a little concerned but that trepidation quickly went away. Maverick was awesome. He was professional. Did a stellar job. Carried on a great conversation over multiple topics. It wasn't long before we were laughing with each other like we were college buddies. His suggestions and attention to detailed were on point. Everyone else in the other chairs seemed to be having a pleasant experience too. The hair cut and beard trim was easily the best I ever received. If you're looking for a place to get a cut and shave from a clean, friendly place with competent barbers who know what they're doing then look no further than American Shave. And if you really want a great experience, ask for Maverick. Don't know why he had negative comments - I guess everyone is entitled to have one of those days. But based on my experience, he got hosed by someone looking for a freebie.

The haircut comes complete with a neck massage and he had this vibrating contraption that he put on his hand to take care of the massage that can only be described as magical. The massage worked out some things on my neck and head and was something that would make you lock in ManCave as your go-to barber shop based upon that alone. Haircut came out great and would highly recommend both ManCave and Moe if looking for a solid cleanup!
