Great cut! Colorful conversation. I was able to get in only a few minutes after calling great service. No skipping the little details, Barber gave me the full beard trim with hair cut, washed out, straight razor edging and that after shave reminding me of the fresh cut. fairly priced for the services. I'm from out of town but felt like a local my barber made me feel like I've been going to that shop for years! read more

The absolutely best. It's awesome to have a barber that listens and gives you exactly what you ask for. My first stop in Jacksonville from Clearwater, Fl was to see Tino at Top-Notch. read more

Great cut, took about an hour. Some of the conversations I could do without. Could be considered offensive in nature.

Place is outdated and dirty. Owner brought us in for design services, we spent three hours for our consult and making selections and he stiffed us. What small business screws over another? He also made inappropriete comments to my junior designer. If you're going here and are an attractive person- I'd bring mace. read more

BEARD DESTROYED! Tino decimated ONE FULL YEAR of beard growth in 45 minutes! Here's what happened. Admittedly, the first time I saw him, Tino provided a good haircut and a decent beard trim according to a picture of what I was going for with my beard, which did need some shaping. He told me to not wait too long for the next touch up beard trim so he could better shape it after the "shock" of the first trim, 1-2 weeks max. One week later, I booked a 12:30 appointment for a touch up trim and showed up on time, as he told me he had a 1:00 appointment. I reminded him it was a touch up and showed him the SAME PICTURE of what I was going after as reference from one week ago, not much off the length, just shaping. As expected he was sizing up and trimming the beard, using scissors gingerly on the outsides of the beard, snip snip snipping away to shape it up and trim off the flyaways without taking off length. Then all the sudden, he put guards on clippers and was mowing off the sides with the guards directly on my face! I honestly feel like he messed up the trim and decided he had to salvage it by taking all the length off the beard growth on the sides of my face, but he didn't say anything or ask if I wanted clippers with guards. He certainly hadn't done that the previous week either! And why would u start lightly trimming with scissors if you were just going to use clippers with guards??? Oh yeah and a quick touch up beard trim lasted over 45 minutes, 20 minutes into his next appointment because he also decided to straight razor shave my beard and neck, which I didn't figure was included in a touch up beard trim after 1 week. AND charged me $30 for the favor! Tino, man up and tell me you screwed up my beard trim and didn't have the guts to tell me, then took it upon yourself to cover it up my mowing off my beard that will take 6 months to grow back (Don't try to explain it away somehow either). You know I won't be back. Unfortunately I would suggest those that have put a lot of time in growing a beard not put faith in Tino, who in 45 minutes ruined a year of my effort, despite positive reviews on here. Sucks that his bad day ruined 365 of my days... read more

Garryl Torres is the man! I've been going to high quality barbershops for the past several years. That is, I gave up the chains and discount shops. (You get what you pay for.) Garryl gave me the best haircut I have ever had. No exaggeration. He was attentive, patient, and did not rush the process. I really appreciate someone (like this cat) who takes pride in their work. The shop is small and chill, and every barber there has a great attitude. I'll be back soon. read more

A good barber can cut hair and make you look good. An excellent barber can do both and have the confidence to talk during the cut. Tino's got that confidence and his fades are clean. Highly recommend, if I'm ever back in Jacksonville I'll make sure I set up an appointment with him again. read more

Made an appointment on their website, and they didn't show up. Pretty frustrating to say the least.

I was in desperate need of a cut and shave. I searched yelp and found Tino's shop. I drove down from Glynco and he did not disappoint. He was meticulous and took his time. Not once did I see him check his watch or cut corners to fit in another customer. I highly recommend this shop if you live in the area or are just passing through like I was. Thanks Tino! read more

The place is nice and clean. I like the atmosphere, but the service was a little slow. I'm the guy who wants to go in get his haircut and leave. I don't like to be kept waiting just to get a haircut. I will probably not come back because of the lack of slowness. read more

Perfect barbershop: clean, efficient, precise personal service with just the right banter and pacing. The name says it: Tino is Top Notch. read more

I have followed Tino from the Art of Shaving to his own shop as a loyal customer. Tino and his team are always professional and on point. Haircut is always perfect and the fresh hot-towel shave is unbelievable! I travel from St. Augustine to downtown Jacksonville for his services. Any executive working downtown that doesn't take advantage of this location is really missing out. read more

Tino is fun to talk to and he turned my scraggly beard into a work of art. I love the small shop and it's walking distance from my office. Give this guy your business, he's a hard worker and you'll leave happy. read more

So I been to this barber 3 times, before this I lived in California and went to the same barber and for the same exact cut - 1 medium to a bald fade with a hard part. The first two times I came here tino did it exactly the way I had it before and then just this last time it was as if he had no one idea what he was doing. He asked me the same question several times and I kept telling him just do it the same as before he said ok. I'm on my phone looking down as I always have cause he did a good job before and then I look up and he literally cut my whole side of my head down to almost a bald. He then told me that was a 1. I've been getting a 1 for years and a 1 is never this short. He then told me it will be fine don't worry about it. He starts doing my part and doesn't ride the part that is always there and messed that part up too. I don't know what happened but this will be the last time I ever go to this place, not to mention my appointment is as at 10 and I didn't get in the chair until 1045 cause he decided to take a walk in before I got there at 955am. Needless to say I would suggest staying away from this place. I hate inconsistency and places that have no consideration for your time or appearance. To be at a place for almost 2 hours and have your haircut get messed up on something as simple as a fade is crazy to me! read more

Excellent service and haircut. Tino is polite, courteous, friendly, and very good with the scissors. One of the best haircuts I have had in a long time. Highly recommended. He is meticulous and takes his time on each and every customer to ensure a great haircut, so make sure you make an appointment online, or you might have to wait a while if you walk-in. read more

Though the environment was great! My hair cut was not, my tape up was terrible and he left some parts uncut completely. I ended up having to go to a different barber to get it fixed read more

I was in need of a trim, and staying downtown on business, so thought I would give this new shop a try. Tino is a fantastic barber and knew exactly what I wanted, and is a pretty awesome dude to talk with as well. I got a really great cut for a good price, and right downtown. Highly recommended! read more

He over Book.. i came in at 10:30am like he told me and said sorry I have to take you on a later day. So I did, I had a appointment for 1:30pm I came in 15 mins before my appointment and he had someone else go in the chair before me. How do you run a business like that. He say it will only take a full minute more before he gets to me. Same thing happened to a other guy that he over book use in the morning. You suppose to run a business. And you is really giving yourself a bad name over booking people. I wasted my time and I could've went with my other barber but the owner wanted my business and now I have to wait till tomorrow because of his poor timing. He is really anyways. read more

By far one of the very best barbershops in Jax. Tino owns the place and currently is the only barber on site so you won't have to worry about getting someone else. He used to work at The Art of Shaving at The St Johns Town Center for a good little while, that's where I had my first cut from him a few years back. Been going to him and only him ever since. I've had my hair cut at many different places, charging anywhere from $15 all the way up to $120 (I'd never pay $120 for a cut but it was a birthday gift), out of all the shops I e been to I strongly recommend Tino, he's very consistent in the quality work he does, he delivers every time. Try him out, I guarantee you will not be disappointed. Definitely try to call in for an appointment and try to have some time to spare as at times he's booked back to back and at times the times he quotes won't be entirely accurate as each customer is different and sometimes they run over on their allotted time. Whenever I leave his shop I always get compliments on his work. He's worked at many great barbershops, salons and more here in Florida, Hawaii, etc. When you come in definitely at least be aware of what you want. He says he loves it when people are anal about what they want as he can give you whatever you want but prefers you to be as specific as possible so you'll leave with exactly what you were wanting. The first time I came to him I wasn't exactly sure what I wanted but he went with it and made the cut look fantastic. TINO'S THE MAN GIVE HIM A TRY! read more

Top-Notch is the best barber shop in town, hands down! I've gone to many local barber shops spanning a time of six years and for the last 6 months I've found that this is the ONLY place I'd come to get a cut. Tino's tight control over quality cuts is the reason why I keep coming back. He will not let you leave his chair until you're happy and satisfied with his service. He's a well rounded barber, with a keen eye for impeccable style. The conversations are fun, intelligent, and cover a myriad of topics. Coming to Top-Notch right before the weekend is something I look forward to in my routine week. Thanks Tino and thank you Top-Notch for being located perfectly in Downtown JAX!! read more
