Simply put, this is hands down the best place for a guy to get his hair cut. Ever since the new ownership took over earlier this year, this place has completely turned around. From Brad the owner on down, the entire team at Mens Spa delivers a high-end experience at a very affordable price (which is great for a frugal guy like me). I call it an experience, because when you come to Mens Spa you dont just get a haircut. Oh no, when you walk in the door, you are greeted by multiple people who are sincerely glad you are there, you are offered something to drink, you are provided a shirt to wear so that you dont get hair all over your own shirt...and thats before you even start the hair cutting process. (The attention to detail is fantastic!) Then, instead of the stylist just asking you what you want them to do (as if you are an expert in hair styling), they spend time getting to know you, learning more about what you do and the style you are going for, and then they actually talk through ideas for how to make your hair look good, both when you walk out the door that day and (more importantly) how to keep it looking good consistently until the next time you come in. Somehow they find a way to cut my hair so that it keeps looking good even as it is getting longer. With the places Ive gone to in the past, even if they made it look good that day, after a week or so, it was nowhere near as good and would look worse as it grew out. This has not been the case for me with Mens Spa. In addition to a great haircut and tips on how to keep it looking good, my experience at Mens Spa has included cleaning up my eyebrow hair (which my wife immediately noticed and loved), trimming my nose hair, shaving my neck hair, shampoo and conditioning, scalp massage, and a mini-facial (which I had never had before, but have discovered that I like). Top that all off with a great atmosphere and a great staff that is fun to hang out with, and you have the best mens haircut experience you will find anywhere!

First of all, I felt very uncomfortable from the beginning. The staff made me feel as though I shouldnt even be there. (I am the customers friend). I set up the appointment for him, and helped him pick out a picture of a cut he would like. We picked a longer style because his hair was really long and we just wanted to shape what he had. I left to go eat while he was getting his hair cut. I came back and Emma had chopped off all his hair. It was extremely short, and not even close to one of the six pictures we offered as a reference. When I asked Joe what she said when he showed her the picture, she said he would have to use a lot of product to get it to look that way. Which has nothing to do with the cut styles we had picked. Not only that but the cut itself was terrible. The back of his hair was too long, the part behind his ears was too long and sticking out. He had long hairs all over his neck. I asked her to clean up the back, make it shorter, I meant all over the back but she just shortened the corners behind his ears- very odd. We decided to just leave, so I gave her my groupon and Joe had $10 cash to tip, which I am sure he wanted to give it all to her becuase he is nice, but she didnt even offer change. As he was getting changed I tried to begin small talk with Emma before we left, but either she didnt hear me, ignored me, or was too eager to run out the door to smoke a cigarette before we could even exit the spa. After we left, Joe was visably upset, and we both agreed we wanted to go back to have her fix it but we couldnt because she chopped it all off. He did not want an average short haircut, comparable to that of Fantastic Sams or Great Clips. Seeing as you are a mens spa, we figured you would specialize in all types of mens cuts, to include shaping long styles. We will not be back, and will not hesitate to share the terrible experience.

I had just moved to the cities and decided to try out the Mens Spa after a recommendation from a friend who raved about the haircuts he received from the owner (his hair *does* look really good). I ended up with two different stylists for the three haircuts that I got there over the period of two months and they were very friendly and were up-to-date on the current trends. I didnt pay as much as my friend because the stylists were newer (and werent the owner). That being said, the process took well over an hour (including a warm wrap for your face, etc.). That sort of time committment isnt for me, however I shouldve known by the word "SPA" in the name that it would be a relaxing, slower, process. :) I received my third haircut right before a wedding so I would look my best, however several friends commented on how I needed to get my hair "touched-up" due to the lack of fading and visible layer differences from the razor. The stylist for the wedding party actually had some free time and offered to clean my haircut up. It could have been that the sylist at the spa was just new/tired/low lighting, etc. Since then Ive started going to a barber in Uptown and have had great luck with them (with much less amenities, though). So if youre looking for a stylish, relaxing place to unwind then Mens Spa is probably a good fit for you. Theyre trendy and seem to take good care of their customers.

I sat down in the chair and the barber said something like "here is what I want to do." He didnt ask me what I was thinking or what I wanted. He then went on to vaguely describe something that didnt sound too drastically different than what I wanted so I hesitantly agreed. 45 minutes later (and without knowing it because they keep you facing away from the mirror) my hair is cut and styled in a way that is 100% not me and not what he initially described. Guess I shouldnt be surprised since he took zero seconds to ask or listen to what I wanted. "Everyone is going to love it," he says. Well my girlfriend thinks it looks stupid. Im debating going to a different place tomorrow morning before work to see if it can be salvaged. First haircut in my life I dont like. At least its just hair and will grow back. Maybe if you are interested in a whole new look this would be a good place to go. Otherwise, I highly discourage anyone from going. Also, the website says "cuts are preceded by a mini-facial, a stress-relieving scalp massage and a hot towel treatment" but dont expect any of those services.

Ive had great haircuts at Mens Spa, with three different stylists. The space is clean, well laid out, with plenty of room to sit and drink your complimentary espresso. Its really well lit - the entire south wall is glass. At first, the environment was intimidating to me, but the staff was great at making me comfortable. Ive had entertaining conversations with the staff, but Ive also been comfortable saying nothing and just "checking out" for a while during my appointment. Its very impressive how the stylists go about their business. While they study your head and hair like their about to preform surgery, they ask for input. Im not good at talking about how I want to look, but it wasnt an issue. The stylists are happy to give their ideas, and each time, weve talked through it and Ive come away with great haircuts. The complimentary scalp massage/mini-facials are awesome, but Im personally not really comfortable with a guy touching my face so much - so, Ive passed on it. Overall, Ive had great, relaxing experiences, and theyve given me the best haircuts Ive had.
