Went in to have my boyfriend get a haircut for fathers day, I was referred from barbers to wait to be seen by manager Roberto, as he would be the one to give the best haircuts, as we waited there was a customer return to get his haircut fix as it was not right so we waited even more and we thought that it might have been just a mistake of communication or something like that, well as my boyfriend clearly communicated and showed the image of the haircut of preference and none of it was done, we walked out to think of what had happened and to go back as we tried to work with the haircut and started to notice the several mistakes, we walked in and had to wait then to have it fixed by another barber as the manager had to take a break and completely ruining the experience and completely dissapointing us as far as his work ethic went, as the other barber was trying to fix his mistake and admitting that it was not done properly and at that point just doing what she could Roberto walking by and not acknowledging our presence and his mistake, I did not get a chance to talk to him there and did not wish too, I called and left a message asking to speak to owner to explain situation as I wanted him aware of this situation and have not received a phone call or email since fathers day, very dissapointed as I had left a substancial tip and was absolutely dissapointed with services and experience hope that this message can get to owner and something done, I appreciate attention and regards to this.

Everyone was very friendly. The shop decor is very trendy and vibe of the shop seems like it wants to honor the barber culture popularized by the Scumbag Barbers. I enjoyed that very much, the cuts however are a different story. I sat anxiously waiting to see whod draw my name from the list. I dont want to drop the name of my barber. But his skills were very poor when it came to barbering. I asked for a skin mid fade, and told him I comb a contour. His fade was atrocious. I have very visible steps and there are some parts of my hair that were left uneven. It honestly looks like a 2 week on the job barber cut my hair. It might as well have been a super cuts haircut. When I asked him to style it, he didnt comb it in a way that even remotely resembled a contour! This left me convinced he didnt know what he was doing. My barber there might be good at some typical suburbanite haircuts, but when it comes down to true traditional barbering, not even close. In short the great American barbershop left me thinking it was anything but great and definitely lacking in real barbering skills.

Absolute nightmare! A local recommended I try this barber on vacation. Huge mistake. I ended up going to a sports clips to attempt to fix what they did. The staff has no reception so be prepared to sign yourself in if youre a walk-in. There was no explanation who I was waiting for or how long I could expect to wait. Two employees finished with clients and smoked and joked then disappeared into the back or on break at 4pm while I waited. I shouldve walked away then. The person who cut my hair didnt understand basics about how to give a clean modern mens haircut. The fade was sloppy. My hair was blatantly uneven by the time I gave up and just wanted to escape. It got so bad I was at the point where I had to say "I want you to take scissors and cut here," as I pointed at my head. And the person cutting my hair just went to town with clippers instead of doing what I asked. I dont think they understood the difference between thinner and shorter. Seriously, I had a better experience getting my hair cut in boot camp. Go elsewhere. Now.

This is the place to get a haircut and/or shave! This isnt the kind of place where you sit down and the stylist gives you the 1 size fits all haircut; here, you get what you want! The atmosphere is on point for men, from the wood slab bench tops and tool boxes to the cool motorcycles they usually have on display. The barbers are just as cool as the shop itself, usually the owner is hanging around rapping with all the customers. If this place sold beer, forget about it! Ive been to tons or barbershops from the raggedy old school places to the high end salons, just looking for someone to cut my hair the way I want it cut. No luck until I found this place. Been coming here for about a year now and refuse to go anywhere else. Thanks guys!

Im not sure where these negative reviews are coming from. I went in on three different occasions before dropping a review and every occasion was pleasant and I was pleased with the service. This last time I went Adam did an outstanding job with my fade. Not everyone does the correct trimming around the ears, & its difficult to fade from the skin, but this guy did a good job with it. Highly recommend this barber shop quite pleased.

My hair speaks to me. And it says it loves getting cut at this place almost as much as my Auntie Berthas mustache loves jelly filled donuts. CAUTION: GO TO SUPERCUTS INSTEAD, only if you want it to look like that one time in the third grade you grabbed the teachers scissors and cut 3 inches off the middle of your head. This place is so good, getting your hair cut here will make you look and feel fergilicous!

Ive been coming here for cuts for about a year and have had five different barbers cut my hair. Every single one of them did a great job cutting my hair. Every time Ive gone in ive been greeted and helped. I have no idea, as stated in other reviews, where and why these one star reviews are coming from.

Friendly staff and great haircuts! Our son has special needs and does not do okay getting a haircut, but the professional staff at GABS is always willing to take on the challenge of cutting his hair and it looks good even though hes a mover. I do not look forward to haircut days but GABS gets it done!

Always a great time! Professional but down to earth in the right mix. Staff knows their stuff and always willing to answer questions regarding the cut, beard trim or products. They made a lifer outta me, to the point that I buy all my male friends gift cards from there on their Bdays. Highly recommend

Absolutely the best! I used to go to great Clips and supercuts. Then I decided to go here. I met Ty and showed me what a proper haircut was. I will never go anywhere else again. I have had 4 different guys cut my hair and they all have lots of talent. Best money you will spend.

Fantastic place and quality work. I was looking for a good barber shop since my old barber retired. I tried the big chain shops, but they never were consistent. Each time I come here I get a good quality haircut, and Im always treated very respectfully.
