This place is fantastic. Came in with a haircut I had just gotten that was terrible. The woman working was so kind and did an incredible job fixing my hair. She was so personable and kind and a kick ass barber. Also got some amazing suggestions for food and local hiking spots. Would recommend to anyone. read more

Great service. Made last minute appointment. She took her time and did not rush. Wonderful location. Thank you!

Best haircut I've had in a decade. No joke. Melissa didn't shy away from pointing out my thinning hair (it's obvious) and quickly offered multiple solutions to help slow the process. Maybe that's common but it's the first time anyone cutting my hair has mentioned it. Great place - will definitely be back. read more

Great place for a cut! Melissa gave me style pointers, how to fix flaws in my hair, and cut me from shaggy to business look to be impressed with. Highly recommend! read more

I recently moved from Akron to Tallmadge and was looking for a local convenient spot to get my hair cut. I have had three cuts at The Man Cave and will be a regular there now. When I read Brian's review, I felt compelled to come in and give my own, especially due to one statement that I thought might keep people away and is completely out of sync with my three visits. Brian is a regular reviewer on Yelp. Maybe he will reconsider and edit. Maybe just a bad day? First and foremost, I think it is important that if we are going to review someplace, we review the product. You know, if I am looking for a restaurant, I want to know how the food is. I am a 50 year old business man. As a veteran of the military, I never really changed my cut much over the years. I part on the side, and I like a very short, clean cut look. I am typically loyal to a local barber. For the first time in a long time, I have received compliments on my hair after Melissa cut it. Multiple compliments. Seriously, my look is similar, but my hair looks sharper and it has probably been 30 years since anyone even noticed it. It is a great cut and I will certainly send people there, including my father when he is in town. For the record, my father is 72, a retired business executive, and he isn't looking for "attitude," nor am I. That brings me to the points I would like to politely rebut, so that you at least feel comfortable giving it a try. The review in question states it is a bit expensive for a "humble cut." I would say it is a humble price for a professional cut. The price is less than 20 bucks. It cost about the same as a fast food trip for two. It is very expensive to keep a small business running these days. Priced health insurance lately? Rent? Even if you go to a chain, you are going to pay this in many cases. My wife pays anywhere from 3 to 5 times this amount. You can find cheaper barbers. As I have stated, I am sticking with this place for the foreseeable future. I am a value buyer. I look for "bang for the buck." The review in question states that there are two "distractions." One of those is an attractive, "cool" person cutting your hair. Um... Why does the persons appearance have anything to do with the product? I am really scratching my head over this one. If you are insecure, yeah, you can go to another place I guess. I didn't give it a thought. She can weigh a hundred pounds, or 250 pounds, as long as I walk away with the same quality hair cut. Now for the complete disconnect. The other reviewer states that the haircut is served up with attitude. What!? Just disregard that. That is so far from reality that I can only guess that it either was tied to the other issue with the stylists looks, or maybe he just had a bad day, at worst a misunderstanding. I have waited in there with every seat full, half of them with guys like me, half with kids with cool young cuts. The owner walked over and poured us each a cup of coffee if we wanted one. Politely and professionally. She always shows concern for the length of your wait and gives you updates. The salon has a consultative approach. You will be asked some polite, concise questions to insure you get the cut you want. The communication is very good. I also learned about new hair products (who knew that styling gel was so 1980's). Melissa recommended a product that works fantastic on my hair and keeps it in place. It is similar to going to a good establishment to buy a suit. They consult with you and make you look better. I need all the help I can get. Give it a try. Great customer service and work ethic. Great hair cut. read more

I, like a growing percentage of men, put effort in their appearance so that they make a good impression before even saying hello. Melissa gets that. Not only does she take care in making sure that you understand how what you are asking for is going to actually look on you, she explains variations and options to make your future style your own. I'll admit, I was wary when I first left, not sure if how it was cut that day was how I wanted it. But I did exactly what she said, and let it grow a few days, and I can't even count all the compliments I've gotten since. I cannot speak highly enough of Melissa and the pride she takes in her work. I would absolutely wait until the next time I visit Kent, just so I could go back to her. A. Motherf#cking. Plus. read more

A bit expensive for a humble haircut. I think this place will attract guys who A:) Want someone attractive and "cool" cutting their hair and B:) Want some "attitude" from their stylist. Kinda' like those restaurants where the host/hostess is intentionally rude. I wouldn't go back, I wouldn't recommend, but I don't think it's a bad place, hence the 3 stars. Just not for me - a really boring dude who just wants a cut for a reasonable price without any of the aforementioned distractions. read more

Terribly run business... Made an appointment a week ago for 12:30. Business supposedly opens at 12:00. I showed up at 12:25. Sign on door said Open, all lights were on, no one inside and door was LOCKED. I waited until 12:40 and then left. Wasted 40 mins round trip driving to a fro for nothing. Don't waste your time as I did. You're better off using sheep shears on your hair than relying on the incompetence at this place. read more

She did a very quick, efficient, and quality haircut. She obviously knows what she is doing. I would certainly come back here again if my travels bring me this way. read more

Good place for a hair cut. The name throws you, because you don't expect a woman to be cutting your hair in a place called the man cave. There is a laid back atmosphere, and I do recommend it. read more

I usually do not pay more than $10 for a haircut, but since I moved to this area I was unable to find a quality haircut in my original budget. However, I tried out the Man Cave Salon and I was very impressed. I finally got a good haircut! Melissa was very friendly and engaging. She is also a very good barber and cut my hair exactly as I wanted it. Facility was clean. Not the biggest place and I would imagine it gets busy (it wasn't the day I went) but you can make an appointment. Highly recommended. read more

Was in town on business and needed a quick cut. I got in without a wait and Britney did A pretty good job considering it was her first time cutting my hair. It's a no frills place and if you are a simple guy with an easy cut, I bet it's perfect for you and fairly priced. read more

Stopped in to get my teen boys haircuts before Christmas parties. Owner Melissa was super nice and did a great job. We will be back!

Thanks Melissa for working me in as a last customer on a Friday! Hair cut looks good, let me see how it wears out over a couple days. Thanks read more

I had been looking for a place to get my hair cut as my previous barber closed her shop. I wanted someplace close to home (Stow) but I was willing to drive to find a shop I felt comfortable at. Man Cave is that type of place. Melissa took my appointment on short notice and when I first walked in they have a big chalkboard with a quote on it from Bob Feller (one of my all-time favorite Indians) and a chalk drawing of Chief Wahoo, I really liked this ambiance. Melissa is a good barber/stylist, I explained what I wanted and she completed the cut perfectly. I like to have hair rinsed after the cut and it was no problem. She made some good recommendations on product and showed me the difference between different types. I have been back twice since then and this is now my regular hair shop. read more

I've got curly hair that I like to keep longer and style loosely but still need to look trimmed enough to pass for professional. I have gone to a half dozen shops over the last 4 years that say they specialize in men's hair, described what I wanted, worked with them over a couple sessions to give them a chance to figure things out, and never come away feeling like I got my money's worth. I did the same for Melissa and her first response was "I don't know what the hell is wrong with those other people" and she got to work. Hands down the best haircut I've had in years. Not only that, but since I was passing through town for work, she took time to describe what she did so I could explain it to someone else down the road. So if you're looking for a new spot, Melissa is definitely worth a visit. For me, if I lived in this city this would be the only place I'd need to go. read more

I was in Tallmadge for the day, and needed a haircut. I'd been wanting to try the Man Cave. Melissa answered the phone, and told me to come in. She told me what my hair needed, and how she was going to cut my hair. She is an expert with scissors and a comb! I will come back, and bring my father in law in as well. read more

Very knowledgable and a great haircut! Will be coming back when I'm back in town.
