Because of poor planning on my part, I had to find a local barber shop that accepted same-day, walk-in customers/clients. After calling about 5-6 barber shops, Top Notch was the only shop accepting same-day, walk-in customers. Greeted at the door by Jennie (sp?), she attended to me with very little delay though the shop was full with customers. She did a great job and is quite a pleasant person, willing to start/hold a conversation. Though a bit pricey for a trim/clean-up, I definitely will recommend Top Notch. read more

Great barber shop. My first time using this place and I recommend it 100% hands down. My son was well taken care of by Bryson. Thank you.

My boy JJ did me right!!! for sure 5 stars! Go now!! you will love it! Thank you guys for my first good hair cut! the vibe was super chill and they where super nice! They know all the new stuff. read more

Well, had AJ cut my hair and asked for a Howe Long Flat Top been a very long time since I had visited and now I know why. Nice barbershop but think AJ was in hurry to go to lunch. So didn't get flat top but a breaking bad cue ball cut, very round and the flat top was disregarded.So like many people, AJ forget to listen or maybe not a expert in different cuts. Still gave him a $10 tip for his lunch and maybe when he reads this will work on Flat top expertise not cueball cut!! If you go in make sure to convey with emphasis your style. It is what it is, and thankfully it will one day grow back!! read more

A.J. was patient and overall just great with my little guy! It was his first official big boy haircut and I'm glad we waited! My baby boy looks so grown with his new fade! I just want him to slow down and stop growing up so fast! I can't wait until my little dude gets more comfortable with the chair and to continue to bring him in to A.J. Thank you A.J. we'll see you soon! read more

Look at the whack Job they did to my son. Then changed him to fix it?? When I tried to talk to AJ about a refund he blamed my son. How is this horrible hair cut his fault? read more

Great haircut and awesome vibe. I could not be happier with my experience at Top Notch.

I normally cut the Boys hair. Been doing that since they were babes. I do a great high and tight, zero fade. But they are in Highschool now and wanted a professional cut. I figured it was time to have there first Barber Shop experience. I learned quickly that there are very few barber shops open on a Sunday afternoon. It had the right feel. There was a little lounge place with couches, chairs and a large screen TV playing a Pro-football game. There were 3 guys cutting hair and a few guys waiting. It took about 20 minute for my first son got called to a chair. My son wanted a flat top. Before heading there, I looked up a few pics until my 14 year old chose the style. I showed the barber what we wanted and then waited. I didn't catch the first guys name, but Charles called up my other son. He wanted a come-over style and again I found a picture of what he wanted. The first guy had abit of Problem with execution of the Flattop. Both the other barbers help out and gave some pointers. Charles execute the combover perfectly. It looked exactly like the picture. The flattop looked good, but wasn't like the picture. Overall it was a good experience. Both boys looked good. The only thing I wasn't prepared for was the prices. I don't know the average price of a haircut, so I'm not complaining, but $25 each boy was tough lol. I included a photo of the prices written on the board. Again, I don't know if this is a good price, but if it is, then go here and ask for Charles as he is professional. read more

I had went in to get a haircut September 15th, the female Gisella had messed my haircut up. One side was longer than the other by an inch, She also left a couple spots. It was the worst haircut I've gotten charged over price, then when I went in the next day September 16th I had been charged again to fix it which is not okay seeing as they had messed it up.. when I asked why they came up with a bs excuse rather than trying to say hey we messed up our bad. I would not recommend unless you're looking to get a bad cut. Not a good buissness quite shady if you ask me. read more

I've been taking my son to Derek for over a year now. He had a mohawk for several years, and finally decided to cut it off. At each visit, Derek takes his time and makes sure we are good with the cut before we leave. My son went in alone once and asked for a certain type of fade, which wasn't exactly what he wanted. We went back in and Derek cut it the way he normally cuts it....no questions asked. We live 40 miles away and I don't mind driving that far knowing my son's hair will look great. My son usually texts Derek and sets up an appointment, which is convenient. read more

Don't see the lady barber she ruins every cut. Go to Derek if anything or simply another barber business. Paid 60 bucks for a messed up hair cut. Nice. read more

They take walk ins which is what I did it hen I went but it was not worth the $45 I was charged. Don't get me wrong it was a nice cut but the fade was not "top notch". Looked like he just put a guard on and shaved my head. There was hardly a blend. read more

I walked into the shop on a Sunday afternoon just as they were closing. Instead of turning me away, the young lady gave me an amazing cut. Very gracious and kind of her. Check this place out!! read more

My son came in and got his hair done last week. The woman that did his hair messed messed up and miss a spot. When my son got home and noticed it he called the next day and they told him to come in and they would fix it. My son told him that he couldn't come in because he had to work and that he asked if he coming on Saturday. And the woman who cut his hair told him yes. Well when we get here today one of The barbers decided to go off on us for coming in to get his hair fixed because it's been over a week. The woman had no problem fixing his hair but apparently the gentleman next to her has a problem with him coming to get his hair fixed because it's been over a week. He paid over $60 for a haircut and for it to still not be right. The gentleman that cuts hair next to her was the one that was very improfessional at the way he came to us and talked to us no need to start yelling across the shop. Horrible customer service. We will not be coming back and I will tell everybody not to come to this place. read more

GUS YOU ABSOLUTELY SUCK. The other barbers were very rude. I watched a couple guys walk out after no one acknowledged them. They give dirty looks and do not speak to clients. Hands down worst haircut I've ever had. I shaved my head immediately after leaving. Rudest barbershop I've ever been to. I'm pissed off, down $30 bucks and look like mr miyagi. THANKS SHORT BUS GUS!!!! read more

First and foremost this review to the ROOKIE barber that messed up my haircut, I think his name was "GUS" and also the Shop itself...I came here because this place was highly recommended not only by Yelp! but by some of the locals here in Reno. This barbershop needs some TLC like ASAP! The place looks a bit dirty and it definitely needs new furniture while the customers wait for their haircut. Also the music that some of your barbers play is not appropriate for children under 12yrs old, no kid should be hearing nothing about bitches and hoes or the use of explicit songs while they wait with their parents. Management should definitely be on top of this issue and correct it. As for the ROOKIE barber the cut my hair, my dude you should definitely get some barber classes before you keep cutting hair because you don't know how to even grab the dam scissors nor your capable of doing a simple fade not to mention you don't even know the difference between a low or medium fade. I asked for a simple hair cut ((medium fade, #1 on the sides and cut 1 inch from the top with scissors)) simplest mens haircut and you still f*ck it up!. I literally had to go back home and cut my hair by myself because you totally messed it up. I usually give a chance to Rookies to try them out but in this case I regret it because you kept asking me if that's the way I wanted my haircut. If I would of known that you couldn't cut my hair I would of gone somewhere else where they do know how to cut a simple haircut. Next time you should let customers know that you're a Rookie that way they can decide if they wanna risk it. You guys charge too much to come out of there with a f*ck up a$$ haircut. Like I said his name is "GUS" maybe he cuts other peoples haircut good but he totally messed up on mines.. read more

I was passing through Nevada, in need of a haircut so decided to stop by. Saw the reviews, saw the pictures. I figured, the haircut would at least be presentable. I wasn't looking for perfection, just a decent cut. Unfortunately, it didn't turn out that way. I was cut by the barber Gus. The only reason I knew his name was because of his name tag. Sadly, the gentleman didn't welcome me, didn't introduce himself or ask for my name, nor did he talk to me at all. Dead silence! If you look in the picture, you see that the blend was off. Multiple lines that needed to be blended, hair on top was cut uneven and there were a lot of hairs sticking out where it shouldn't be. Also, he messed up my hard-part for the comb over. My brother was with me at the time, and as Gus was finishing up, my brother asked if he could fix a few things. Gus abruptly cuts him off and tells him to chill. I'm not here to bash the guy nor say he shouldn't be cutting. But he should really work on Bettering his technique. He should work on at least having basic conversation with his costumers as well as take criticism. As a barber, your goal should be to make a customer not make a dollar. read more

Called on a Tuesday and asked for the next available noon haircut during my lunch break. The guy told me to come in at noon on Wednesday and ask for Derek. Came in at noon and Derek asked me to have a seat because he was finishing up with someone. At 12:15 he called someone else that was there before me waiting to see him too. By 12:30 having to be back at work by 12:45 I left because he was still working on the other guy. Not sure why we had a noon appointment if he couldn't see me at noon and never mentioned while I was there for 30 minutes waiting that he was behind. Been trying to support local but damn, this is my third bad experience with local barbershop's in the last couple of months. Guess it's back to sports clips for me..... read more

We were greeted/acknowledged when we walked in . I'm so happy my son got his haircut by Gus ! My son said he's kind and he blow dry his brand new shoes hehe THANK YOU! We will definitely come back again. The shop is clean, we were walk in only but not a long wait . Lots of barber . Lots of parking . Busy place . Definitely following CDC guidelines!

First time in and first time I have ever had an official beard trim since I started growing it out. Big place inside, definitely geared for guys as they have all kinds of sport stuff up and a big screen with a big couch and a couple big old chairs. I was surprised to see there were 5-6 Barbers. No sooner than I plopped onto the couch that Rico called me up. I think he did a jam up job. read more

Charles definitely gets it. In order to stay punctual, he requires you book an appointment online. Yeah! No more waiting for 1-2 hours at any barber shop. He listened to what I wanted and did it perfectly. I've tried several barbers shops in town and I enjoyed my experience. This is actually the only barber shop I've left a review on. Like mom says, if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say nothing at all. I will be back! read more

Top Notch Barber Shop - So fly! - Barbers Near Me - Sparks, Nevada

Top notch is the spot, the name says it all. These cuts are taken to the next level, the best way I can think to put it is like a person I know that says, "anotha notch," and then continues to say, "BAMM BAMM!!!" Exactly how I feel when they're cutting my hair. Atmosphere is definitely laid back, people complain about such silly things when they came here, all I gotta say is , don't come if you don't like it. Your going there for the cuts not to feel at home. When they say, once you go black, you never go back....makes complete sense. Top notch gang read more

Only one star because while they did provide a service, it was a very mediocre haircut, but at a very high price I have been getting haircuts for for nearly 70 years, at least the last 10 years in Reno/Sparks, with an occasional haircut out of town while traveling. I have never been ripped off at a barber shop until this one. No neck shave, no hot towel head massage, nothing special, just a plain haircut and not very good one at that. No prices posted but I figured it wouldn't be more than $20 considering the location, the shop amenities, and the clientele. I was shocked to be scammed with a $30 charge, especially for $15 haircut. Save your money and your looks. Stay away from this place. read more

Love the atmosphere. Able to walk in and everyone speaks and you get taken care of. Never had any issues with a barber or anything going on in the shop. read more

As first impressions count; this place does not have it starting with its store front all the way till you sit on the seat and get draped with a drape cloth that has not be washed since who knows when. As I walked in I'm greeted by nothing but a stare down as I was some kind of stranger then I take a seat no, "are you here for a hair cut" nor time est. just a awkward feeling. As who ever has gone to a barber school carpet is not a great selection for your floor since hair will stick to it, as is the case with this place clumps of hair, and room adjacent to front door looks like a tornado went off as well as the back portion of the place. Makes me wonder if they can't keep the hygiene part on the carpet what makes me think of there tools and not to forget blades. I would give more stars but I would not recommend this shop to no one nor return till customer service picks up and hygiene. read more

Don't matter which Barber cuts your hair..you will be happy with the results..Tony Po Derek They all legit..They do take their time..to them it's just not a job or work..to them every cut line up fade they do is like a art form to them..it's their masterpiece..so make an appointment before hand..(30-45 mins each cut) waiting time on a weekday early morning not too badd..Fri-Sat..if u just walk in..bring lunch with you super busy..iv been going to Tony for about 4 years now..not once have I been disappointed..So for your next hair cut..rather it's for just because you looking like a caveman or a family functions/event and you need to look like human and TOP NOTCH (see what I did there) Get over to Top Notch read more
