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.
