I very rarely leave reviews, but the service I received at The QG was above and beyond. To start: It was, without a doubt, one of the coolest shops I've stepped into. I was able to find a nice pair of shoes (on clearance!) and a nice bottle of Proraso aftershave (my favorite brand!). But in my exploration of the shop, I forgot my credit card behind. I had assumed it was lost. But the next day, Ronald from the menswear shop gave me a call and let me know he found the card, made sure I locked it and sent it to me - free of charge. It was a testament not only of how cool the place is, but that it is also filled with good, decent people who care about who they serve. read more

Started going to the QG around 2 or so years ago and love the experience every single time I walk through the door. Everyone is very welcoming, professional and attentive. There is nowhere else I will go to get my hair cut now and afternoon drinks at the Clock Bar is a regular occurrence. The number of services offered in the building seems to constantly grow and they are all well thought out with precise execution. read more

Well, I now know that "QG" stands for Quintessential Gentleman, although I had no idea what "QG" stood for when I first came in for an eyebrow threading and tint. Butttt while it looks entirely like a boys' club, I have never been so pleased with my eyebrows! Latrice crushes it with her threading--and manages to tint my brows and lashes perfectly. I can't pretend that the leather chairs and "smell of rich mahogany" doesn't remind me of a fraternity for adult men. But I'm glad that there's a place that men can feel like they can enjoy spa treatments without being embarrassed or annoyed by gabbing groups of women. Granted, there is also a cigar lounge and bar (which I've never been to).... read more

I had something really important come up so I could not show up for the haircut appointment there, and they charged my credit card!!! I told them that I would reschedule to the next day but they said they would charge my credit card anyway. Honestly, their services aren't even that great and not worth the money. These people are scammers, and their "policies" about charging your credit card if you don't show up is completely unethical. No other barbershop I know have ever done this. I would give 0 stars if I could. This is how you lose loyal customers. read more

My family used to own a hair salon and I've never imagined an experience as bad as this was possible. Seriously, if you aren't the type of guy to just buzz everything off, go somewhere else. If I could give zero or negative stars, I would. I just got a haircut at the QG and my wife came with me. I had let my hair go during the pandemic and it was overgrown to about my shoulder and in a ponytail. I went in to have it cut back to normal. My wife showed the stylist a picture (of me!) that clearly showed the length of the hair somewhere around my chin. The stylist said that was she could do that. As soon as she starts cutting, she easily takes off a foot of hair. I don't even have enough hair to run my fingers through at the moment. Normally I would say something, but I was so mad that I couldn't even see straight. I had to just pay and leave. If I thought seeking damages were possible, I would. At the rate hair grows, it will take me years to undo the damage that was done today. I have never been more dissatisfied with pretty much any service, anywhere, in my life. read more

As someone who used to hate getting their haircut, I can honestly say that the barbershop experience is excellent at the QG. I get my haircut by Michael who is exceptional at style and detailing. I can honestly say that I have never had as clean of a haircut as what I have had here. read more

Came in from the West Coast and needed a cut, and Michael hooked it up! My regular barber does a nice job, but Michael's attention to detail and precision makes me wished I lived in Baltimore to come here more regularly. Price was fair and cut was solid! read more

As I'm new to the city of Baltimore, and will be here for the duration of the summer, I needed a good barber to rely on for my grooming needs. After checking out my different options, I found this place. I liked their presentation, and decided to give them a shot. I called last Sunday, while I was running errands and hoping to squeeze in time for a haircut. They had no appointments for that day, but they scheduled me for Monday afternoon. Fast forward to Monday afternoon... I show up to QG after braving downtown Baltimore traffic. I check in at the lobby of the building, and was unpleasantly surprised to find that they did not put me in the system. I told them that I called the day prior, and that they set me up to come in for an executive pedicure (yes, I'm metro and proud) and a haircut. After going through the schedule thoroughly, and not finding me there, they made time to see me anyway. I first went up to the second floor, where Sam gave me a haircut. He did a fast cleanup on me. He handled the straight razor well, and I left with no cuts nor razor burn. Next, Shanta took me to another floor and gave me the executive pedicure. This pedicure is for men, and includes nail care as well as a lower leg massage with scented oil. The process was an hour long, and it was a relaxing experience considering that it was a long and fast paced work day today. read more

Amazing cut, First time he's cut my hair and knew how to work around cowlicks. 10/10 recommend.

Michael is a pro. There's just no questioning his skillset, his professionalism, and his atrention to detail. Book soon, and book with Michael. You won't regret it! read more

This place is awesomely amazing. Came here for the first time two weeks ago. Met Phil, Chef Thomas & Caitlyn. Ordered the burger .... so good! Can't even put it into words. Then Caitlyn told me about the pork belly. Phil heard I loved Pork Belly & asked the chef to make some for me! It was so tasty ... not to mention the fries... bangin!!!! If you don't come check this place out, you're doing yourself a disservice. Found out about this great place from my buddies, Daine B. & Jeff.

My man crush Monday comes here for a haircut every 3 weeks and loves it. I haven't cut my hair in over a year, so obviously homeboy is serious about his beauty regimen. He always looks super fly with a fresh cut, and he says he gets all the perks like a hot towel, straight razor on the neck, and nice product. Today was my turn though. Today they were piloting their women's salon services with $10 manicures and $20 shellac manicures! They're opening a women's salon on one of their 6 floors, and they figured this was a great way to advertise. I got a very high quality shellac manicure from an amazingggg aesthetician, who was super friendly. The room we were in had a cozy (fake) fireplace and CNN was playing on the flat screen which was a nice change of pace. The products used were all top of the line and it was very intimate and relaxed. On top of all that I got a free beer as a regular customer and a special St. Paddy's Day cocktail (midori and champagne) included with my mani. Lemme tell you, a buzz and a fresh mani is a GREAT way to start a Saturday evening! read more

This place is great! Yes you can get a great haircut at many places in the city but who hands you a free beer when you come in??? Awesome! They have many services to take advantage of and do it well. If you want a tight fade go to Alex. Great hair stylist. You can come here if your a woman but lets be honest...this place caters to men. From the pool table to the cigar lounge you'll love this place. Makes you feel like your a true gentleman! read more

Brendan K has cut my hair for 3 years now. Perfect everytime! Always on time & always friendly. Highly, highly recommended!

Michael is awesome. super professional, quick, and always does a fantastic job.

I went here recently for a haircut and was seated on time in the barber chair! Michael was very accommodating to my hair type (I have stick straight hair) and cleaned me up for my trip this week to the west coast! Thank you Michael and I'll definitely be back again soon. read more

Excellent experience for my first time visiting the QG barbershop today. Michael did an amazing job and went above and beyond to fit in a beard trim as well at the end. read more

I've been coming here for the last few months since moving to Baltimore from Portland, Oregon. In the past I've used Brendan as my stylist and he's done a pretty good job --- not to mention a nice and professional guy. Well today I received the worst beard trim and work ever in my 5 years of having a long beard --- by Salvatore. For starters, I booked the appointment as a Buzz Cut and Beard Trim --- since I only wanted the sides of my head shaved, since I am going to grow out my top part. He immediately tells me that if he has to do any fading than its no longer a buzz cut, but an actual haircut. Weird to me since I'm basically getting a high and tight with only 1 clipper size on the side and I would assume fading comes standard in any "buzz cut." In my interpretation, a buzz cut means not using any scissors (hence, buzz cut). I told him it was fine to change the price or cut to meet standards, but already now first impressions is not starting out positive. I then show him a picture, attached, of how I want my 3 inch long beard to be trimmed up as. He very quickly glanced at the picture and goes "ok". From the attached picture, I feel that he nowhere near effectively trimmed up my beard. Stray hairs still all over the chin area and he brought the jawline down so far to the bottom of my face. I went back into the office with everyone saying that I looked like a goat. At the end of this quick, rushed and quiet 30 minute session, I walked out spending almost $50.00 and had to go home and shave off my beard of 5 years --- which was a sad experience. I also received none of the amenities that I thought came with my treatment -- i.e. Hot Towel on face, etc... I am incredibly disappointed in my experience today at QG and at this point cannot recommend them. Brendan was great but unfortunately he can be very in demand and hard to get appointments with.. read more

The QG - Don't really think that my beard trim looks the picture I requested. Trimmed way too far down my jawline and was not well shaped - Barbers Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Just had my first ever appointment at The QG. And I must say, I was impressed. I got my hair cut and a straight razor shave. Kristen did a great job with both. First time in awhile I wasn't nicked during a shave. She also helped recommend a new look for me, that, not only did I like, but my wife did too. They've expanded to add more than just barber services. They offer you a complimentary beer (or other beverage) upon checking in. They have a nice waiting area with comfortable chairs and a pool table. They've also added clothing and a cigar room. As well as having a professional tailor on site. I certainly see myself coming back. read more

I needed a haircut, bad. But I was frankly a little apprehensive because I just moved into town and did not have a haircutter. I had been going to the same haircutter for the last five years. A few classmates had recommended The QG, and I liked its proximity to my home. I booked an appointment with Nicole, and was seen within five minutes of my set appointment time. Friendly, professional and thorough, she gave me an even haircut exactly as I asked, and finished with a straight blade shave around the ends. That was a nice touch I never before experienced. The shop is multiple floors and has the feel of an old-fashioned lounge. Pool table in the lounge, water and coffee while you wait, and altogether a clean and friendly atmosphere, where judging by the friendly conversation, the stylists and barbers really enjoy being here. $30 is about what I pay for my haircuts in New York, but i am happy to do the same here. I'll be back, and maybe next time I'll try a burger to go from the restaurant! read more

January I bought and book a manicure and shave for my husband. QG our company called to cancel because your manicurist was sick. I was advised that you would get back to me when she returns.

Michael gave me a terrific haircut. He is passionate about his work and pays strong attention to detail. A+
