Camelback Barber Shop — Local services in Phoenix

Let me preface by saying I am newly relocated to the area by way of Florida and I am a black male which is relavant because I understand that every barber is not familiar with how to cut and style my texture of hair (fair enough). I was staying at the Homewood Suites-bitmore and went to this shop because it seemed the closest. This shop is very pricey for the services provided. I came to the shop with $25 assuming that would be more than enough to cover a trim on the top with a shape upon my beard and mustache. In Fl my old barber as well as other barbers I have gone to charged me $15 for everything and I always tipped $5 to make it an even $20. So I only brought $25 as precaution not knowing what to expect but feeling confident that it would be enough. When I got to the shop, I noticed that the prices were much higher than I expected ($17 for a regular cut + additional 15 for beard and mustache...cool. Immediately upon sitting in the chair, I notified him (Steve I think) that I had only brough $25...his first reaction was utter disgust as if I was trying to get over. Ha! needless to say that was not the case. My regular cut consisted of a short trim on top and fade on the sides...light work for $17 I thought..but whatever the prices are prices.

Went to the head barber, aka first chair, and received an overpriced bad haircut. I was charged 30 dollars for a haircut when the barber cut my lip with an electric razor and the haircut was also not symmetrical. While my lip was bleeding the barber made jokes about it. In the middle of the haircut I gave the barber a tutorial on how to comb multi ethnic hair. I had to go back into the barber shop moments later so that the barber could fix my uneven hair line. Definitely would not recommend to a friend to go to...

These guys were the best. We went to get our heads shaved in support of our life long friend who is battling Brain Cancer. Mind you, I had a full head of hair, my buddy next to me, not so much, LOL. Samuel was my barber and he took extra car and made me a bald as bald can be. We had some great laughs, and only laughs. No time to tears or sadness. Our barbers helped prepare us for a great reunion with deep respect. Worth every penny. Thank you Camelback, you helped create a priceless time...
