This is my husband's go to barber. He's been getting his haircut by Misty every three weeks for over 10 years. The inside is a traditional barbershop, however Misty has many talents: she was part of a barbershop musical group, and she's an artist with various eclectic things that she's painted available for sale. So the shop is a cool art gallery of things to enjoy looking at while you are waiting for your haircut or in my case waiting for my husband to get his haircut. I've gone in the shop five or six times. It's always a wonderful adventure. I believe that you just need to call and schedule an appointment with her, although I know that there's a sign that I've seen that says walk-ins are welcome, but I really don't know when that period of time is. There's parking in the front of the building as well as parking in the rear of the building. I believe you need to knock at the front entrance to be let in. read more

If you're a lady with an undercut - GO HERE. I found this place on yelp, and I chose to go here because of the bad review . Clearly that dude was a sexist piece of garbage and Misty is a treat. I'm a lady with an undercut and Misty fixed the hack job that great clips did. I had a fun time hanging out before it was my turn and a great convo while I was in the chair. It was cheap (though heads up it's cash only) but I would have paid more. I was worried about going to a barber shop for the first time and now I can't wait to go back. Thanks misty! read more

Katie W is amazing and pays attention to detail!! She educated me on me hair and what it needs to look good everyday !! She actually took the time after the cut to show me how to put in product the right way! I have been doing it all wrong for over 40yrs!!! She is amazing and I am a life time client !! She said she's the men's hair wingman and she is right! Right after I saw her I went out with my buddy's for the night and got so many complements from strangers at the bar!! That has never ever happen to me before!!! My buddy's demanded her number and said that I held my head higher that night!! Thanks Katie!! I'll be back ! read more

Took my kiddo here for a trim on no notice. Did not expect the fantastic art all over the place - Alan Rickman and Johnny Depp everywhere, and I have no complaints about either of those guys. The ladies are fantastic and while the kiddo made a great grouchy face, I think he likes his cleaned up new do and I enjoyed the conversation. It's not the Taj Mahal but it's a solid barbershop, in my female-non-expert opinion. read more

Sweeney's Barber Shop - Norman Rockwell, eat your heart out. - Barbers Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Been patronizing this business for years. Can't go wrong, love both barbers. Not a foo foo salon but a good old Barber shop!

The only reason I gave this dump 1-Star is because it doesn't go any lower... Went here this a.m. for a simple haircut and found 2 women sitting at a table; no other customers present. I jokingly asked: "Where's the barbers?" They replied they were both "barbers." I said: "Well I was used to male barbers," but what the heck. I was all set to go, seated in the chair, and said: "Well, if you do a good job, I might be back..." Then the older one (presumably the "owner/manager" stated: "We don't want you to come back; we don't want "your kind" in here!" I said, that tears it and left. As I was getting in my car, the one that was going to cut my hair followed me out back and continued to harass me. Plus, they don't even take credit cards!! read more

If all you seek is a haircut, and only a haircut, then this place is for you. This is a barbershop and not a salon. Here you will find barbers, and not hair stylists. No one will offer to wash your hair, style your hair, color your hair. Here you will get a good, solid, haircut for a mere $14 -- but bring cash, as they don't accept credit cards or cheques. This is a small, quirky, Mom and Daughter operation. Pop art lines the walls -- much of it, if not all of it, the work of the proprietor. My bottom line: my wife likes the results. I could not ask for better. read more

I stopped in at Sweeney's when my regular barber shop was closed on Saturday. The shop is very interesting, there are plenty of magazines and Jason really does a great job of cutting hair. Because I travel I am sometimes at the mercy of an unknown haircut so I didn't expect my hair to recover from a bad cut I previously got out of town, but Jason has recovered the damage with just one cut! Great Barber! read more

This is the best barber shop I've ever been to, in Tucson or otherwise. Unlike most barber shops which look exactly the same, this one is a work of art. You see, the owner, Misty, is an artist and decorates the place with interesting and unusual trinkets and even some of her own paintings and sculptures. The back room is used as a sort of artist studio, where she sculpts and paints in between giving haircuts. I should add that the haircuts here are top notch, too. I keep telling Misty she needs to have her on TV show on the Discovery Channel as this place is totally unique! Great Tucson gem! read more

Just a great experience....They are details details types of barbers...they don't rush and are interested in all kinds of stuff.

Im very picky about my hair. Other places at double the price havent done half as good a haircut. ..while the scifi gothic decor isnt everyones cup of tea I like it. I came in and within 2 mins Misty was cutting my hair. Very good cut at a great value read more

I recently moved to the Tucson area and quickly discovered there are a lot of barbershops in the area. I went to a couple of places to get a cut before I found Sweeney's, but I was less than impressed. I discovered Sweeney's on Yelp and thought I would give if a chance. Jason gave me a great cut at an affordable cost and I will be going back to see him soon. Thank you, Jason! read more

My son has autism and Shannon cut his hair. She was very understanding and my son was at ease with her (no small feat). My wife loved his haircut. Everyone was happy. read more

I've been going to see Jason for a several years now. I was referred to him by a friend. He has the best haircut I've ever had and I'm a bit picky about my hair. Jason is a total professional. Misty is also nice as can be. Her beautiful paintings and art pieces are interesting to look at. My only Barber! read more

What a deal. It is only a five minute drive from the Sheraton, and I have never had such an attentive haircut for $10. Jason really took his time and made sure he cut my hair just like I wanted it. Highly recommended if you are in the area and looking for a sharp haircut by an attentive barber. read more

Just moved here and I have to say this is a really great shop! Jason is an awesome barber who takes his time and does a really good job. The atmosphere is laid back and some cool wall art. They have my business as long as I'm in Tucson. read more

Just got my hair cut here for the first time. Great cut. Great service. Great price. I may have found my new place.

Love this place! Great haircuts from both Misty and Jason in a very unique environment. Misty is multi-talented, and her paintings & sculptures adorn every wall in her barber shop. Her love for Star Trek, dragons, aliens and Johnny Depp make for a very fun and interesting experience. Never a dull moment here! read more

Great affordable walk in haircut. Misty listened to what I wanted and made it happen along with a tight clipper cut followed by a straight razor finish. We recently moved into the area, it's nice to have a good barber shop close. Park in the back and enter through the back door read more

I had a haircut from 'Misty' that was horrible in every way possible, and not even close to what I asked for. I have a decent head of hair, and simple needs. It looked like a total amateur had just cut my hair. I paid the bill and left, never to return. I felt violated by the complete lack of skill, and care, and feel compelled to warn people about this incompetent barber. IF YOU VALUE YOUR HAIR, STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!! read more

These reviews are obviously out of date. Sweeneys is a mess in every possible way. The place is dusty, dirty, cluttered like an episode of hoarders. We went in for a haircut and we were the only people there. The barber told us that he doesn't do long hair. That's ok, we don't have long hair. No, he doesn't cut hair, making a cutting motion with his fingers, he never learned how, he said. Oh, I finally got it, he just does buzz cuts, he's not a barber at all, just a guy. We left. read more

They know what they're doing!!! Sadly, my first and only haircut here was yesterday as I'm relocating out of state. My hair is exactly how I like it and the barber did a phenomenal job. The place isn't big, but you can tell that they try to make it feel like you are at home. Tons of cool artwork on the walls and quotes as well. Stop by and give them a try. You won't be disappointed and prices are very reasonable. Take note: they take cash payments only. read more

I'm pretty picky when it comes to getting a haircut. Misty and Jason are excellent barbers and very friendly people. Their shop is funky, which I like, and their prices are extremely reasonable. I am really glad to have discovered this little gem. Give them a try. read more

Misty and Jason are great barbers and great people. I love this place. Definitely out of the ordinary. Funky art and attitudes, great conversations, and to top it all off they give the best haircuts in town. Very attentive to detail. I used to dread having to take time out of my day to get my hair cut, but since I started going to Misty's (10 + years now) I actually really look forward to it. Always some new art up or going on in the studio in the back room, always fun jokes and conversations, and you always walk out with a great haircut. Try em once and you'll have to break up with your old barber. read more

Kind & affordable. I have seen them for many years and look forward to every visit. Misty and Jason (and sometimes Shannon) are both very skilled. Misty's artistic talent is on display everywhere. Super-oldies always play on the radio. read more

No, the reviews are not out of date. This place has so much character. Misty and Jason are great! I've always got a great cut and the best part is getting my sideburns and neck cleaned up with the straight razor. read more

Sweeney's at one point used to be a great place for haircuts. Misty who I believe owns or co owns the place gives great cuts. I can't speak for the other stylist there. Here are the reason's I won't be back. 1. No appointments 2. They won't answer phones to see if a certain stylist is available so you don't waste your time driving over there. 3. Hours of operation are erratic. I have showed up before during the normal business hours and found the place locked down. After calling and calling, I finally get someone to answer on there cell phone. I am told we're on a long lunch and have a few things going and won't be in until nearly an hour and a half later. Business hours are generally posted for a good reason. Customers don't wish to come to locked doors. I realize having your own business comes with a few scheduling perks, but you still need to run the place like a business and make schedules out for coverage. Everyone needs a lunch but they seem to just close and reopen whenever. Today I tried one last time to give them a chance. I find one barber and 3 people waiting. The rest of the shop was a row of empty chairs. He has no idea if and when Misty or anyone else is coming in. Not a professional atmosphere to say the least. So good luck getting your hair cut. It's hit and miss at Sweeney's. read more
