In the search for a new barber after my place closed, I landed here. I wanted to find something closer to home but I couldn't resist the buzz and five star reviews Barber & Shave Shoppe was getting. My barber was Ashley D Page (there were two Ashely's so the last name is for clarification). She did a great job on my hair. She listened to what I wanted and executed. It kind of bothered me for some reason that she would never remember who I was. After going a few times and having personal conversations (I even bought her a sub one day because she said she never tried DB's Cheesesteaks across the street) you would think that person would at least remember that she's seen you in real life before. She did give an amazing cut though and was fun to chat with so I let it slide... haha. I love being able to use an app to see available times and book right there, but I don't like that it would often only give me the option to book a cut with Ashley and have someone else do the shampoo/scalp massage. Obviously it's the available booking times and the computer isn't going to have overlap but I appreciate going through the whole process with one person and I could rarely book it that way. Even when I did, I was sometimes passed off to someone else because they were running behind. When it came time for my next cut, I logged into the Vagaro app to book an appointment and there was nothing available... for anyone. I did some Googling and Facebook stalking to find out that a bunch of barbers all left around the same time. Maybe a mutiny of some sort... I don't have the deets. I thought about booking another appointment with someone else but I was turned off by the manager/owner commenting on the Facebook posts that stylists walked out on customers leaving them high and dry. Maybe that happened, maybe it didn't but either way, it's not a good look to be badmouthing your former employees on social. I found out that Ashley landed at Broad Street Barber which I'm not a fan of (personal reasons that may not be an issue for you... feel free to see my review) so I decided not to follow her. It seems that BSS has hired new barbers and are back on track. No real issue for me with the quality of the shop and their cuts but after the fallout they had, I think I'm moving on to a fresh start elsewhere. read more

The Barber & Shave Shoppe - The work of Ashley D Page - Barbers Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

I've had 2 haircuts here in the past month and have been quite pleased. I'm not a huge fan of the online booking as the first appointment I set up apparently never confirmed. I'm glad I called the day before to check as I didn't get an email or notification as I wasn't in there system and they had to make the appointment for me. With that being said I arrived on time the following day and was warmly greeted. They offer you a beverage upon arrival, the first time I declined and the second I had a water. They have soft drinks and coffee but secretly I wish they had beer available like some other places on town. Now for the cut..... both times I would give them a solid 8.5/10. The barbers listened and advised as well and definitely have me on the path I want to be on. I guess I was hoping for a cleaner cut... less stray hairs maybe a touch more even and dialed in. All and all the staff is super friendly, the haircut is a good one, and they are prompt with the appointment times which I really appreciate. Both times I got beard trims as well, although the first time the beard trim was $10 and just a few days ago it was $12 added to the price of the haircut. On my first visit my barber recommend a nice beard product for me and it has certainly helped!!! Thank you read more

The Barber & Shave Shoppe - Barbers Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

I've been coming here for 6 years and will never go anywhere else! All of the girls are talented and so nice.

Nice shoppe with friendly barbers. Tasha gave me a great haircut and I enjoyed a cup of coffee too.

This is a great local barber shop. Finding a good barber was difficult for me to find in the area. Maddie was great in my consultation and execution of my haircut. I always struggled to find a shop that can do fades. Maddie was my saving grace. The staff is nothing but respectful and nice. I always enjoy going here the staff is very welcoming. read more

The Barber & Shave Shoppe - Confirmation after scheduling. - Barbers Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

Came here a few times. Each time slightly more underwhelming than the last. PROS: Nice place nice people Good conversation Excellent technology and function for scheduling CONS: Value isn't quite there Usually feels rushed Beard trimming is not their forte Switched stylists on me last minute after specifically choosing one for preference originally BOTTOMLINE: Can you get it cheaper elsewhere? Yeah probably, but it's a crapshoot basically everywhere else too. I might give them another shot, but they're on two strikes. Still looking for the hair cut and beard trim place that provides quality, takes the time, and doesn't charge an inordinate amount. EDIT: After a surprising owner response, I removed a star. Instead of taking constructive criticism as it is a subjective craft that relies ON customer feedback, and potentially improving your own business- she instead chose to be aggressively defensive and bash a previous customer- puzzling. read more

Used to be a regular there when a girl named Victoria was there. She left, and I decided to grow my hair out for a few years(see photo). When you are a dude and have long hair, you know when it's time. Scheduled a blind appointment for my self and my daughter. The results were great. I have always had good experiences here. It's by appointment only so make sure you make those arrangements. They are usually on time and do a great job! Grab a beer after as they are in the heart of Avondale! Cheers! read more

See all

Wonderful staff, great quality haircuts and shaves. I found them because I was looking for a shop that offered straight razor shaves in addition to haircuts. They mail it every time and I couldn't be happier. read more

They have no heart never coming to this place or giving them my money. I called to cancel my appointment because a family emergency came last minute, I spoke to the owner and she was very RUDE! I told her I'll be there in 5 minutes and she said that she wouldn't cut me and that she would charge me 35 dollars. Why would i pay 35 dollars when I'm not getting any haircut. She bragged that she get booked to weeks ahead of time and that she has thousands of clients. And then said that she doesn't get to eat if people try to cancel, and that she can't cut in 30 minutes?? I live 5 minutes from this place and I rather cut my own hair than give them a penny for the way they treated me. read more

The Barber & Shave Shoppe - Barbers Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

I've stopped by a few times now and I don't really have any negatives or critiques. It is an appointment only shop which some people aren't into, but I personally like it a lot. The service used for booking your appointment is effortless as well. You can also include your card information when booking so you could literally just pop in, sign on the dotted line after your cut and leave. Everyone I've talked to is incredibly nice and cordial. You're offered refreshments when you walk in and the atmosphere is chill and welcoming. The haircuts and beard trims have always been phenomenal. They listen to what you want to do and offer good suggestions and styling tips. I have never felt rushed when I'm in the chair but they're also very punctual so you're in and out pretty quick. They're also not pushy when it comes to selling products and whatnot which I really appreciate. read more

Victoria Jaskiewicz is amazing at what she does to the fine line! I have gotten my hair cut by her in the past, glad to have found her again now I have someone to go to with comfort! The vibe of the whole shop is great! 5 Star service at its best! read more

I've been to this place twice now, once for a beard trim and wash, second for a hair cut. I've been hacking my own hair at home because I'm always disappointed with the results everywhere else. I figured I could give myself a bad hair cut at home for free, well not anymore. Bailey cut my hair last week and I'm finally happy with the results. I will definitely be a repeat customer. I also like that you can book online. With my work schedule online booking makes it super convenient. If you're looking for a new barber I highly recommend giving The Barber and Shave Shoppe a try! read more

Tila was great! I went in, not entirely sure what i wanted. But she had an idea, so i gave her control, and the haircut came out great! Also, her beard trimming service was awesome, i left looking much better than when i came in. read more

Had a great experience here: great customer service, very kind polite staff, and talented barbers. We were in the Charleston area and my husband was in dire need of a haircut. We came in with very specific requests and Loren was able to deliver. She was very patient, attentive, and we loved the result. We wish we could have this Barber shop at home! Thank you ladies! read more

The Barber & Shave Shoppe - Barbers Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

The ladies in this place are top notch. Very polite and professional. I had my 3 year old girl with me that was very shy and they were so patient and accommodating to her while I got my haircut. This is my new place for sure! read more

The business is easy to find and parking is never a problem. The shoppe has a great decor and feeling of a traditional barber shoppe. Brandy defied expectations. I've had trouble for over 20 years trying to find a haircut that fit my head and style. Within minutes of sitting down, Brandy had a plan & explained the process. My hair looks great & I'm completely satisfied & will remain a customer as long as I can. I also booked a facial shave which I had only heard about but never experienced. Once again, defied expectations. Well worth it. Nikki makes you feel at home as soon as you walk in and is always great to deal with. read more

Brandi is truly phenomenal. She listens to what the customer wants, has great input & is genuinely fun and engaging to talk too. I don't personally get my hair cut there, as the shop is really geared toward men, but she is amazing with my teen son's hair. His tip? ALWAYS get the warm lather neck shave :) read more

Brandy is truly amazing! After countless of stylists, I've finally found mine! I had no idea how I wanted to cut my hair & she told me what she thought would look good. She was right! My hair looks & feels amazing. She also gave me some quick & very simple tips (that I can actually do & follow) when I style. Not only did she make my hair look amazing she's very easy to talk to & personable! My next appointment is booked!! Thank you Brandy!!!!! read more

Brandy cut my hair today. She is by FAR the friendliest nicest stylist that I have been to in this city. She explained that the style of cut that I wanted wasn't going to look the best and told me the best way to get my hair as close to what I was looking to achieve. The shop its self is extremely clean and there was nothing out of place. She has my business for the foreseeable future!!! Thank you Brandy!!! read more

It had been a good while since I last went to a barber or salon. I had grown disappointed in the cuts I used to get - and my hair is pretty straightforward - so I bought an electric clipper and started trimming my own hair. But last week was hot, humid, busy for me, and even a little stressful, so I decided to treat myself. I found Brandy's shop on Yelp and not only were the reviews good, she offers online booking via the Yelp app, and her shop is near my house. It was a great experience and I will be returning! As I mentioned above, my hair is pretty straightforward and the older I get, the less hair I have, so I didn't expect much - clipper cut my hair, ensure straight/even lines, trim my beard, etc. But she put thought into my hair nevertheless and, for the first time in years, I look in the mirror and actually like my haircut! She left it a little fuller on top and tapered it nicely on the sides. She also left a little more length than I had been on my beard. And it looks great! I will be scheduling my next appointment so that its about two weeks from my last one. Oh, bring cash because Brandy doesn't accept credit cards. I initially missed that detail in her listing on Yelp. read more

Great barber shop in Avondale! Ashley cut my hair today my first time there. She's very talented at barber style cuts and I was happy to take the suggestions she made for my hair. The cut turned out great and for an extremely reasonable price. the actual shop is super chill. everyone was real friendly. what else can i say? i'll be back for sure. read more

Every 2 weeks im going to this place and im really satisfied from the hair cut Victoria is the girl that i work with and she is very professional, nice and funny Every time when i ask questions she is writing me a note at the end of the hair cut I really love this place :) read more

I was a walk-in at 1030 and they were booked. I was told to return between 1300-1500 and they could cut my hair. I returned at 1300 and was then told that they were booked! BS and beat! read more

I was traveling to Charleston on business and was dying for a haircut. I found Brandy on Yelp and booked my appointment right from the app! Brandy did a jam up job on my hair. Fixed something that has been bugging me forever without even having to tell her about it. Her attention to detail is out of bounds. You'd be crazy not to have her cut your hair. read more

Work trip, so needed to clean up. She's wonderful. Nice cut and took charge. I really appreciated her getting me in. If you've not been here, you should. read more

Beard trim and a hair cut? This is your place. I keep a beard year round, super picky in general and it's always scary going to a new place. I'm starting a new sales job I was in a pinch when my regular barber of 5 years cancelled last minute. Luckily walked in to BSS on a whim and Tila had an opening. I'm so glad I did! She knocked it out the park! Highly recommend this place and Tila. I found my new spot and it's right down the road from my house. Thanks y'all! keep it up!! read more

Katie was awesome! She did a great job cutting my hair exactly the way I was looking for with only a picture and terrible description to go by. I highly recommend her! read more

I did a little google research and saw that this place had some decent reviews. I called and they were able to fit us in for a last minute appointment and I'm so glad they did! My 9 year got his first "man bun" and I love it! It fits his crazy and unique personality and perfect for the upcoming summer days! It's so hard to find a good barber that does a good job cutting his hair. Ashely Page did an amazing job and we will definitely be back there to see her again! Everyone there seemed friendly, from the person that answered the phone to the rest of the staff. They also offer complimentary flavored water and coffee! read more

First stylist was fine, but she left. Second was ok and I made another appointment with her, but they switched me to another stylist without any notice and then tried to pretend like I'd made a mistake despite my online reservation email confirming original appt. Unwarranted amount of attitude and cost for sub-par haircuts and poor service. Save your money and go to Supercuts if you want to deal with this kind of nonsense. read more

They get it right every time. I get a cut and a beard trim; sometimes I treat myself to a shave! It's not just a haircut, it's a pleasant interlude from the work day. I'm on the regular 2-week plan and I always look forward to my cut day. I highly recommend the Barber & Shave Shoppe for hair cuts, trims, and shaves. I won't go anywhere else. read more

Ashley was great! I told her a few things about what I wanted and she did the rest. She definitely exceeded my expectations. I couldn't have been happier and she was very pleasant to talk to as well. The shoppe was very clean, welcoming and a good atmosphere. I will definitely be coming back for sure. read more

Several months ago I got a haircut here by some girl from New Jersey (I forget her name). When it came to the straight razor she cut the mole on the back of my neck off! Glad I ended up missing my final appointment with them because I found a way better place! They tried to charge me for a full priced haircut but the card they had was cancelled 6 months ago. read more

Service is A+ here. I was kindly greeted by someone at the reception desk to check-in for my appointment. For anyone's first time here, be aware to book an appointment ahead of time and not be a walk-in. I was then greeted by my barber, Ashley, who I chose from their online booking website they utilize which you can choose what services you'll be having for styling needs. Ashley was great from the get-go, casually keeping conversation while she gave me the Straight Razor Fade which was a first for me. She keeps you in the loop with what she's doing for your cut as well as asking you for anything specific you'd like for your haircut. For me, I'm simple to my certain style and she nailed it perfectly with how I've had my cuts done before with my other barber. Because of the Straight Razor Fade, I may end up having that style done from now on. Yes, the prices are a bit higher than maybe most are used to but it's the quality that fits in line for their service here. I was more than satisfied by Ashley's services and will definitely come back to her when it's time for another cut. Top quality place here, people!!! read more

Have had a handful of great haircuts here, and was very happy with the straight razor shave. The price is justified by the attention to detail and all of the extras the barbers provide. Pleasant service with a smile, and good conversation always makes for a great experience. This is my new permanent barber in West Ashley. read more

More than I normally pay for a cut, but finally found someone who can cut hair and not leave lumps!

This was the best haircut I have ever received. I have been telling different barbers the same thing for quite some time and this is the first time I got exactly what I wanted. Alyssa was great. It is more expensive than your average barber but the price was well worth it. Thank you Alyssa for providing great customer service and even better wedding hair. read more

Brandi is one of the barbers here and she does a fantastic job as well as the others. The atmosphere in this shop is professional, the products are top notch, and the skill is obvious from the first cut. Their popularity is a great indication that many people value her as their barber which may be the only downside to this establishment; you need to schedule an appointment before you arrive. Although, if you regularly get your hair cut, making an appointment will ensure that they have time to do the job properly. Cannot recommend this place enough. read more

New to Charleston, noticed the good reviews and they were correct. Welcoming atmosphere will definitely return

The Barber and Shave Shop gave me a clean cut and a beard trim. I am very pleased with how I look. The location right on Savannah Highway makes it convenient. The atmosphere was chill and relaxed and the barbers were talkative. It was a little pricy but average for the quality of cut I got. Plus it was worth it. The straight razor trim along my neck line, temple, and cheeks is always a great experience. I would recommend this place to anyone in Charleston, SC. read more

Just swung in from Florida to visit my sister for the month and have been looking to get a haircut for the past two weeks. The reviews from Yelp are no joke. Brandy gave me a great haircut and setting up the appointment via the Yelp app/using the voucher was a breeze. I've been getting my haircut done by the same two barbers in Florida for the past 5 years and now I have a barber in Charleston! Do yourself a favor and set up an appointment here. You won't regret it. read more
