Today was a very bitter sweet day. I visited the shop and found a different barber wielding the scissors and shears. Fortunately she, Jan, had filled in for John one other time I was there and she did a very good job so I knew I was in capable hands. But then the bad news came. While there John walked in. During our conversation I was shocked to learn John has retired, although he made it sound that door might still be slightly ajar. In his place Jan has taken over and she seems to be just as good as John - in my two visits I have been very happy. Jan says nothing will change with the shop (she will be open Thursdays now) and she is looking forward to maintaining the quality that John established. My visit with her today was excellent and my hair was done just as I wanted, expected, and the entire experience was awesome. To John - Happy Retirement!!! Im sure you have earned it and it is well deserved it so enjoy it to the fullest. Although a customer for less than a year I always appreciated your impeccable attention to detail and the excellent job you did for me. To Jan - you have big shoes to fill but based on my experience with you I dont think that will be a problem. Ill be back (in my best Arnold impression).

I have been searching for a GOOD barber who knows what hes doing and more importantly does what I want and not what he wants. I do not like "high and tight" on the sides but no matter what I ask for this seems to be what I get. Every time I find a good barber they seem to quit, retire, or move. My search brought me to Thee Barber Shop today based on other reviews. I walk in and ask if he does appointments or walk-ins. He, John, told me he doesnt do appointments - that was a HUGE plus in my book. To me thats the sign of a good "old school" barber, not a beautician (inside joke from an old barber I had long ago but very fitting). Once the gentleman ahead of me was done it was my turn. John listened to what I desired and off he went. He nailed it the first time, then trimmed some wild hairs in places they didnt need to be (had a couple of wild hairs in my eyebrows). When I walked out the door I had exactly what I wanted at a very good price. The real sign of a satisfied customer is one who would be a repeat customer. Well, John has gained a new customer, and while I dont get haircuts that often, every 2 months or so, I will definitely be going back.

After reading all of the positive reviews about John, I decided to try Thee Barber Shop and I wish I had never walked in. WARNING that it is under new ownership and these reviews no longer reflect the current staff. Thee Barber Shop deserves 0 stars for the hack job they gave me yesterday. When I walked in, I was the only customer, yet it took the barber 10 minutes to finish her personal phone call. Once she sat me in the chair, she could not have been more disinterested. NEVER have I been in a barber chair and had someone make conversation with me while at the same time being so obviously distracted (by one other customer who came in during my trim) that I had to repeat myself. Not that the conversation is the biggest problem -- my hair looks awful. She asked if I wanted a little length off at the top, and then proceeded to take weird chunks out of the back so that it does not blend at all and just sits there, awkwardly, sticking out. I now have the worst hair cut of my life and its too short to fix. The $10 I paid is an insult.

Thee Barber Shop has been my only barber shop of choice in my three years thus far as a student at the University of Oregon. I had never received a haircut from a barber before, so I was initially apprehensive about going in and getting my hair cut, but I had no reason to worry. John was extremely courteous and professional and helped me with my first non-family haircut in years. The venue has a very welcoming and calming atmosphere, and John is a very nice person to talk to. The work he does is exceptional. I have moved a good distance away in town, but I still continue to go here to get my hair cut because of the wonderful work that John does. I am never dissatisfied with the haircut I receive and would wholeheartedly recommend Thee Barber Shop to those who need a haircut.

I just loved my hair cut!! I called around 5:30 and asked Jon if hed be able to cut mine and my brothers hair around 10 till closing time. He said sure so I got there and this was my first time getting my cut by Jon. Jon gave me my own custom hair cut and by far the best Ive ever had. Jon puts alot of dedication and pride in his hair cutsand is just flat out the best there is. He stayed 2 hours after closing to cut my brothers and my hair and spent an hour on each. So if youre looking for a high- quality hair cut at a cheap price.. THEE BARBER SHOP is the place to go

This place is a great place to get your haircut. I was planning on going to go to a chain haircut spot where they give you a mediocre hair cut that was way overpriced and then through my intuition I decided to give this place a try. And Im really satisfied that I did. I felt like I got a 30+$ hair cut when I only had to pay 10$. John is a excellent experienced barber. I had no idea on what I really wanted besides, "A trim." and he did more then that and gave me a hair cut that actually looked great and suits me. Definitely going to go back again in the future.

This place is a gem! Jonn is a very honest, humble and informative. He did a great job with his choices on my hair and beard. I was unsure what i would be getting into with trying a new barber with longer hair and longer beard. Most barbers that I have delt with try and fit my look to a "style." Jonn listened to my ideal plan, exicuted it wonderfully, then he gave me options for future decicions. For the quality of craftsmanship and overall experiance, this place is undersold at $14.00! I will be returning again when the season arrises. Thank you Jonn!

After going to some of the major chains for years and being unsatisfied, it was a breath of fresh air to get a great haircut on the first trip in. People often assume a barber shop will only do basic trims or easy cuts. However, John knows what he is doing and can provide a great cut with style as well. He is a pleasure to chat with and is willing to work with you to get the perfect result. It really is too good to be true in that you pay a third of the price you are used to and get ten times the service/quality. Highly recommend you give him a try!

Best barber experience Ive ever had! I went to John on a whim with only a vague idea of what I wanted and what he did was magic. I dont think Ive ever liked my hair more. Even waking up this morning, bed hair and all, I catch myself in the mirror and think, "God damn...that looks good!" The amount of care and craft he put into my hair really shows. When I first walked in I was kind of having a bad day, but upon walking out I felt like a million bucks! 10/10 - Dont miss out on the chance to have your hair cut by John.
