I wish I could have given this place 5 stars, but I cant. I took two days to cool down and reflect and my opinion hadnt changed. I went in and asked for "a side part with a skin-tight fade." I walked out with a quarter-inch "hard part," which was really a bald spot about an eighth of an inch lower than where my hair parts. Since Tarris never actually turned me around to face the mirror, I didnt realize how awful it looked until I got back to my car. I went back to ask for a correction and Tarris was gone to lunch. Jerod took my number down and said hed call me when Tarris came back. 45 minutes later, no call. I called back and got, "He should be back soon, maybe 10 minutes." After 15, I got frustrated and drove back. Tarris was there, just relaxing in one of the chairs. He said, "When someone says, side part, thats what I picture." Sorry, but maybe you should really communicate with your customers before taking a straight razor to their head. Now, Tarris did attempt to fix the haircut. It still looks pretty bad, you can still kind of see the "hard part," but its tolerable until it grows out. He was also very friendly, very kind, and offered to return my money ("Sorry man. Do you want your money back?") I refused and he did not insist. Short of shavng my head, there was nothing that could have completely fixed my hair, and having $25 back was not going to make me feel better. Unfortunately, an attemted correction and attempted refund are not enough to warrant a good review, and heres why: When it comes down to it, this was the worst experience Ive had in a barbershop, and I have to rate Tarris as a barber, not a person. The first clippers Tarris used felt like rusty old relics. They constantly pulled my hair, and he didnt seem to care at all. Everywhere he touched me with the straight razor, I bled like a stuck pig. I went home and had to wash out flecks of dried blood from my hair. There was rubbing alcohol on everything. He sprayed it constantly, not only on his tools but also on my head. Does he realize what that does to a persons hair? Oh, and remember all that bleeding? Imagine how that feels with rubbing alcohol sprayed on it constantly. After the fade and bald strip were done, that was it. He didnt touch the top of my head or even a if it was too long (it was.) As I mentioned before, he never turned me around to look at my hair in the giant wall mirror. No, instead he held up a dinky hand mirror such that I could see only my own left eye and all of his face. When I got home, I noticed tons of long hair around my temples, sideburns, and neck. There was a severe lack of attention to detail. Maybe I should have been more assertive and descriptive, but part of a barbers job is communicating with a customer to be certain theyre on the same page. And I really shouldnt need to teach my barber the difference between a side part and a hard part or how to hold a mirror. Im sorry that I cant recommend Cutman or Tarris. I really wanted to like it based on all the positive reviews, but it simply does not live up to its image as a trendy hipster shop for which one needs an appointment. I guess well both have to call this a learning experience.

Overpriced hipster joint. Standard haircut was about $25.... The barber was incompetent using scissors and so the cut was rather uneven (good thing I have wavy hair to hide it). He didnt even trim my sideburns or around my ears so after a week, I already looked disheveled! What was the point?? He was kind, yes, but the overall experience and value of the service I received was not satisfying enough to drive me back to the store. I genuinely hope the store improves, or is able to offer other quality services and survive for the sake of the up-and-coming commercial community in the area.

I am here traveling with at team and needed a haircut asap. Really cool place and really cool people. Terrace helped me out even though it was his lunch so that was awesome. Really took his time and was receptive to my requests. Im mixed so my hair can get messed up bad sometimes if the barber has never really worked with my type of hair. Terrance definitely knew what he was doing Great fade and crisp line up!

Good Job Tarris! Cutman Barbershop is a nice and comfortable place where you will be the only customer to be taken care of at the time thanks to a really convenient online-booking-system (/! book at least 1 week in advance). Enjoy your time there! I truly recommend him...

Mark Cunningham

Great haircut, personable barber, good value, cool space. This is my go to place. Getting an appointment with a days notice has never been an issue. He is also one of the few barbers in the city licensed to do straight razor shaves.

S Rizzo

Clean, well kept, had a great experience. I may be biased because I shave my head and dont get any type of particular hairstyle but he did a great job. Had top notch equipment the same stuff I have at home.

Alexander Albrecht

Good barbershop.... bonus he trims beards and mustaches!!! You will need an appointment before you visit... He is usually packed about a week out so appointment times are booked pretty quickly....

Im new to the area and was looking for a good barber in the N.KY area. I searched google and cound Cutman a mile away from my place. The reviews are correct. Tarris is awesome! Ill be back.

Aidan Wolf

Should have left a review a while ago. Great haircut with a very personable crew. Also worth noting, they use a straight razor on the edges and Ive never had a sharper, fresher looking haircut.

Chris Dillis

Tarris truly is a master at his craft. I got a great haircut at a reasonable price, all while enjoying some friendly conversation. Ill definitely be back next time Im in town.

Buck McCoart

Great place and quality service. Tarris was friendly and gave me a great haircut and beard trim. I would definitely recommend this place to my friends.

James Nathan Spencer

Simply the best haircut. He really knows how to interpret your description of how you want your hair to look into a great cut.

Scott Baxter

Excellent haircut and friendly service. Very nice shop, too. I highly recommend this place and will be returning. Thank you
