West Des Moines Barbershop, located off Grand Ave. just west of Val Air Ballroom, is a small but…read moregreat place to get a haircut. Recommended to me, I decided to give this place a try due to its price and proximity to my home. It did not disappoint. Truc is my barber and she has always done a fantastic job. I get a simple taper cut but I'm positive she's great at other styles as well. To top it off, she ends each cut with a neck shave and hot towel. She has even gone above and beyond for me when I had a scheduling conflict. You'll need to schedule an appointment ahead of time for availability. And they do offer other services as well. Just check out the website for those details. Highly recommended!

I'm retired, on a strict budget and I have to save for haircuts, it was a big deal to me. Tony has so many great reviews that I felt I was in good hands. He seemed like a nice guy, we talked about the cut. He basically did ever that I DIDN'T want. That would not be a big deal, sometimes it takes a cut or two to get it right IF THE QUALITY WAS THERE. It's a choppy mess. The fade I didn't want is choppy and uneven. I lost months of growth that I was specific about leaving as much as possible. , but I did say that if he needs to go shorter to connect everything that's ok - assuming he knew what he was doing. I felt ok after he was finished, I knew it wasn't great but when I got home ... yikes. It's like a joke it's so bad. In hindsight they were polite but I did not feel "welcome" ... I was hoping to find a regular barber. They are close and reasonably priced but obviously not a good fit.

Don't waste your time! Stopped by on three separate occasions and two of the times he was "closing…read moreearly" or "out for lunch" past the 12-1 lunch posted on the door. Called multiple times and the only time he answered he was "too booked up and to call back the next day". Proceeded to call a half a dozen more times over the next three days and never answered. Finally caught him when he was actually there and again and he said he was "all booked up" and to call back tomorrow on Friday. Told him I had been calling and no one was answering. He shrugged his shoulders and then said check back in next Tuesday. Awfully busy man for someone who's never there and parking lot is empty. Not customer service friendly or interested in new loyal customers.
