I am completely disappointed with High Point Barber Shop before I had the opportunity to get a service from them. They would not allow me to get to that point. At the beginning of this year I decided to let my beard grow and every time that I tried to trim it by myself I messed it up and had to trim it all to start again, so I decided to get a professional to do the task. I have the recommendation for High Point from a coworker and my physical therapist, so I decided get an appointment to get both beard trim and a haircut. On August 12, 2016 I called them, they returned the call and I could not make an appointment that time because I needed a haircut before a trip that I had to Puerto Rico on August 17th, so I went to the same person that I use to get a haircut and get for that time. When I came back I called them again on Sept. 7, 2016 in the morning and never got an answer from them, so on Sept 8, 2016 in the afternoon I sent an email to their address in their web page. Up to today Sept. 16, 2016 I have not received any answer from them and I think that is it is enough time for them to answer me back. It became pretty obvious to me that they, in High Point, are not interested in do the service to me. I have a couple of theories on why they are not responding to me; one of them has to do with my name, last name and English accent… Predigests, pre-judgmental, racism… I don’t know. This type of situation is something that I would not feel comfortable if I do not say it, so I decided to expose my experience in this web page. The only reason I gave them one star is because google would not allowed me to give them no stars, which is what I think would apply in this situation.

The shop has a cool atmosphere and a genuinely good group of guys, however, it doesnt quite live up to the hype. The guys are extremely pleasant but from a strictly service standpoint theyre subpar. I got a cut there five or six times and each time they were 15-30 minutes late and twice they had to switch barbers on me because they were so far behind. I also found it frustrating that in order to get an appointment you had to call and schedule 2 or more weeks in advance. I understand that demand is high and there is only so much they can do about that, but a haircut generally isnt something I plan out weeks in advance. Those things would be excusable if I got some phenomenal cut but honestly I cant say that I ever did. I would often have to get them to keep going and tweaking it until it got to the point where I just thought, "okay, Ill fix it myself when I get home." It almost just feels like they prioritized their image over their service. I guess its cool to get a trim from a tatted up 20something year old dude but at the end of the day Id rather a quality cut than a chill experience. Out of all of the times I went to high point I dont think I was fully satisfied with the experience. I switched to a more run-of-the-mill barber shops few blocks away that could fit me in in a few days notice and gave me a cut that I was fully satisfied with. tl;dr Good guys, good atmosphere, averagish cut, not fully satisfied. Place just wasnt for me. That being said, theyre worth a shot to see for yourself. Judging from the reviews, Im an outlier.

I just moved from Chicago where barbershops are everywhere. This barbershop is exemplary all the way. I loved the environment and the service from start to finish. Organically conversations start between people getting haircuts and shaves. Its as if youre suddenly transported into a simpler time; one that offers elegance and community at every corner. I couldn’t help but notice the attention to detail in the design of the space, and it offered clean lines, interesting patterns, and warm colors to create a welcoming environment. My haircut was awesome; Jared Galloway found a happy medium between friendly conversation and professionalism. I would highly recommend a haircut from this particular barbershop if you appreciate good conversation and excellence in service.

High Point Barbershop takes a level of pride in their work that I have never seen at any barbershop, or anywhere else for that matter. Unfortunately I have moved away from Richmond, so what I have found out in trying Local barershops in my new town is that High Point Barbershop has completely ruined any other barbershop for me. Its not that the local barbershops in my new town are bad, because they are actually pretty good. However at High Point you get the feeling that they genuinely strive to be the best at what they do and I promise that when you visit High Point you will find out that they truly are the best.

The guys at High Point are true artists when it comes to hair cuts. The environment is totally vintage and old school. I got a great fade and slick back style done while I was there. The best thing about High Point, besides the great cut and the retro environment, is the price. The guys really know their stuff and they teach you how to style your hair and what products to use. For guys, this beats Sport Clips any day of the week. Go to High Point if you want a great cut for an awesome price and enjoy a great conversation. Great experience!

This is a great barbershop. Decor is awesome. The guys are great conversationalists. An authentic place for guys who want to be in a legit barbershop with guys who are amazing at what they do, that to almost art. But one person in particular, that Ive followed from his previous shop, has always exceeded my expectations when it comes to my hair. Corey King creates a fine line of personal and business relationships. He always fits me in, does an amazing job, and really cares. He is amazing and everyone should check him out.

Im really particular about my Hair and have tried about 3 other barbershops in the area before I tried out High Point. I was fortunate enough to have Eric cut my hair and after showing one picture of the style I wanted it cut he crafted it perfectly. The shop itself is extremely clean and well lit and very reminiscent of an old school barbershop but with a contemporary spin. I cant speak highly enough of High Point and yesterday was only my first experience and it certainly wont be the last.

Daddy is WAY more than happy. I used to have to drive to Washington DC to find a barbershop that could trim a beard with scissors only [ok...they used a clipper on the back of my neck]. The shop I used to use in DC caters to a lot of Senatorial and Congressional types......but these fellows at High Point, are equally as good. Fast paced and busy [you need to plan on a 3 week minimum advanced booking], but the wait is well worth it. And their shop has the ambience of a fine restaurant. Kudos.

Best experience Ive had getting my hair cut. I highly recommend the folks at High Point Barbershop to any women looking to cut their hair short. Ive been in search for a good looking short cut/undercut for a while. It seemed like any salon I went to Id get something that just looked ... wrong. Then I found High Point. David did an amazing job chopping off all my hair and giving me a sweet cut that Im thoroughly enjoying. Thanks again guys.
