Setting the Standard for All Men.
You have 5+ years of experience. You don't need hand-holding. You need a shop that matches your ambition. We are building a team of the area’s elite—professionals who are tired of the "grind" and are ready to thrive.
The Mission
"Steel Blade Men’s Salon delivers exceptional grooming to the men of Albuquerque."
We aren't looking for apprentices. We are looking for masters. Our clients rely on consistent quality from a team who prides themselves on maintaining the highest industry standards.
THE VIBE: HUNGRY, HAPPY, & HUMBLE
We hire for character first. Skill can be refined, but attitude is everything. To sit in a chair at Steel Blade, you need the "Triple H":
1. Hungry (The Drive)
"Achievement & Growth" You are self-motivated. You take ownership of your numbers, you want to fill your book, and you are obsessed with leveling up your paycheck and your skills. You never settle for "good enough."
2. Happy (The Energy)
"Customer Satisfaction" Life is too short for bad vibes. We want people who love what they do. You bring positive energy to the shop, you leave the drama at the door, and you genuinely enjoy connecting with your team and your clients.
3. Humble (The Team)
"Integrity & Dependability" Excellence without ego. You are confident in your skills but open to learning. You respect the shop, you respect the process, and you are willing to help the teammate next to you win.

Took my husband for a beard trim. So happy with the results. My husband has been to many bad barbers here in Albuquerque, his confidence has been regained. We will be back.Posted on Michael Seibel2026-01-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Used to be a great place. However prices have gone up. Their phone system times has been had to make appointments for. If I’m gonna pay $80.00 for a haircut. They could at least staff the phones. The last appointment the receptionist was rude. Been going there for a two years and it’s probably time to make a change. I’m not going to work through their website to make an appointment.every time. And deal with AI receptionist for a high priced haircut.Posted on Steve Wolinsky2026-01-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

I always leave my appointments feeling like a new man.Posted on Stephen Byars2026-01-15Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
