Found Throne through Instagram while searching through the profiles of other local barber shops. I saw some of Sangs work from the barber shop he used to work at and immediately knew I needed to pay him a visit. So I booked my appointment online (super convenient and easy) for the following day. Rolled up to the shop on a Saturday afternoon (street parking in the Pearl is hit or miss so plan accordingly) and was immediately greeted and offered a beverage. After choosing an ice cold Deschutes Red Chair NWPA from their impressive selection of carbonated beverages, beers, and liquor, I was told that Sang would be with me shortly. For a Saturday on Valentines Day the shop wasnt super busy, but it looked like everyone was enjoying the fact that they were there. I wandered around the waiting area, examining the classy decorations and huge cabinet full of hair product until Sang came up and introduced himself. He sat me down in one of their awesomely comfortable, custom-refurbished, early 20th century barber chairs and asked if he had cut my hair before. I told him that this was my first time, and he asked what I wanted. He was extremely thorough in his questions to make sure every aspect of my hair cut would satisfy me. Sang went over the importance of choosing a haircut that was tailored to my lifestyle and the types of products I liked to use in my hair throughout the haircut. He finished it off with a straight-razor cleanup of my neckline. I asked which product he recommended for my haircut since I currently didnt have anything that impressed me. He asked what I was looking for in terms of hold, weight, and shine and recommended an Uppercut Matte Clay, showed me how to use it (quantity and technique) and told me that if I wasnt satisfied with it to bring it back and he would find me something else. tl;dr GO THERE AND TRY IT. Clean and classy shop, great haircut.

My regular barbershops were booked Booked an appointment at 630 looking forward to a good haircut Unfortunately that was NOT THE CASE Called when I was 7 min past my appointment time as a courtesy telling them I was 6 blocks away and they said they would accommodate me. Showed up shortly thereafter only to be scolded and berated by a short Kim Jong Un look alike. For a moment I thought I was in a gulag in North Korea...But this is Portland, Oregon where good customer service is the norm. They told me I could come back at 730 if I wanted a haircut by a different barber. I became very angry. They could have just told me over the phone that I would be punished for showing up a few minutes late. Never have I experienced rude customer service like this before. No wonder they had a bunch of openings. I should have stuck to my regular barbershops (oak and heritage). They always do a great job and have excellent customer service. If you want RUDE, ARROGANT, and IMPOLITE service and attitude come here!!!

By far the best barbershop in Portland! I just moved to Portland and needed a new barber. I found Sang on my first visit to Throne and Im not letting him go! After discussing my needs for my cut, he got it right the first time. That rarely happens. Sang gave me a nice tight cut with the perfect fade. I do get compliments on my cut. Whats evident the first time you visit the shop is the positive vibe and first time customers are made to feel welcome. All the barbers take pride in their craft. You will see that in all the cuts leaving the shop. Some may find its a little more money to get your haircut here but the customer service and the quality cut is worth the price! I highly recommend Throne Traditional Barbershop!

This a good barbershop overall, but just make sure you are very detailed with your requests. My first haircut here was pretty good, but the second time in my hair was cut way shorter than what I requested. I asked for a two on the sides and ended up with a one. Also I guess a half inch off the top is more like an inch and a half to two inches... Just frustrating because a bad haircut is two weeks to a month until it grows back. I dont think Ill be giving this shop anymore of my business from here on out. The barber that cut my hair twice seems like a good guy so Im not going to bad mouth him, but If you are picky about your hair then I suggest going somewhere else.

Throne Barbershop in Portland, OR is incredible for its artistry of cut, customer service, punctuality, and price range. Jesus is super talented and is a hardworking barber because he has always been on time, has always provided an excellent haircut, conversation, and is very responsive to bookings. Not only is he patient, listens, and will make changes per request he is also hilarious and very easy to be around. I recommend Jesus as a regular barber if you can get in his books. This Barbershop is just great all around. You get what you pay for quality of product and service. Everyone is friendly and welcoming...A very diverse group of barbers as well.

Achindo killed it. I booked an appointment the same day using their website from work and was sat within 5 of my appointment time. My hair and beard looked pretty ragged as I hadnt messed with either in quite some time. I usually end up going to Bishops as they take walk ins, but Throne is across the street from where I work and I figured Id finally try them. They did fantastic work. I really cant recommend them enough. Their prices are the same as Bishops, but everything else was far better at Throne. Thanks for kicking ass at your craft guys!

I went in for a cut, it was my first time Ive let someone else cut my hair in 10 years (10 years in a hardhat, short is better and I can do that myself lol)! So a new direction in life needed a more professional look. Wow did these gentlemen deliver! From the moment you walk in your treated like a VIP. With the offering of a shot of whiskey, to the hot lather straight razor finish. It was an experience I wont be denying myself again! I look and feel great!

Im pretty picky about who I let touch my hair. Ive been to plenty of barbers all over the country. I dont normally rate/review.. But I gotta give credit where credit is due - Sperry gave me, literally, the best haircut I think Ive ever gotten. Hands down best fade. The mans got skills. And everyone else getting their hair cut was looking pretty sharp. Solid crew over there for sure. Dont think Ill be going anywhere else!

Best haircuts Ive had. Easy online appointment scheduling. Free coffee/soda/beer/liquor of your choice. Haircuts are not rushed at all. Excellent attention to detail even on a simple hairstyle. Always finished with a straight edge neck shave! Lots of places will have the new hipster barber shop vibe but then deliver a mediocre trim. Thrones cuts are top notch.

Angel did an awesome job. Im away from my personal stylist so getting a haircut Im normally really sketched out and worried that my hair will be ruined. Angel did a really good job. Definitely recommend this place and would come here again!
