My barber did a good job
Top of the line Barber college if you ever need a haircut for cheap that's the place to go plus you're supporting up-and-coming barbers they got amazing customer service the atmosphere is amazing all together it's a vibe
Students at the Associated Barber College are all so talented, a very kind young lady cut my hair recently and did an awesome job. Her Nick name is SLCKR. Charlie received lots of love and attention. Thank you so much for all of your hard work and dedication. You are appreciated!
$7.00 haircuts. Can't beat that. 💈
Ok it's as good as the name brand salon, but at 1/3rd the price. I've paid $12.00 ( $7.00+ tip)The haircut I got was a simple #1 to a fade " easy wash summer style 👍 "
I am impressed with the level of seriousness that goes into this place. The students are very top notch and I can tell they want to take their craft seriously. Ever since my regular barber left, it’s hard to find any that can cut my hair the way I want it to be. I want to give a bit thanks to Ray C. Who has been cutting my hair there for a number of times. May he move on bigger things after the barber school!
My primo Mike is good barber.
I only recently started going to the barber college after needing an additional haircut after the one I received previously left me unsatisfied and was met with one of their student Ray who has now become one of my main barbers due to how he prompts conversation, speaks openly about his pursuits while also making sure to check in with his client. All and all Ray is someone I would highly recommend if you are wanting to made comfortable, have honest conversations and leave wanting to come back, not to forget the price is unbeatable in today's market of pricing.
Shoutout to Sheena and JP I think that was his name, Thank yall for taking care of me & getting my haircut looking right, I got Blessed !
