Central BarberShop — Local services in Phoenix

Horrible. The worst haircut I have had in a long time, if not ever. I normally go to a barber down the street (A&D-10th st and Camelback) but felt their haircuts were overpriced ($19) I decided to explore my options. After searching online for locations near my work, this location seemed to have good reviews. I called ahead to set up an apt as I get cut on my lunch break and try not to be gone long. The person on the other end explained no apt was necessary, so I headed in. I was pleased when I arrived and there were 4 barbers all with open chairs. I was hoping to get Roman, but when I walked in, he ushered me to the back to a large elder gentleman in the last chair. The reviews stated everyone was good, so I thought it would be alright. Wrong. The fade was okay, left me dissatisfied, but my line up was TERRIBLE. My lineup was taken back so far it turned my forehead into a five-head. I ended up spending $20 here, versus the $25 it would have been at my normal shop and decided the extra $5 is worth assuring I have a great haircut. Luckily the guys over at A&D have been cleaning me up consistently enough to allow my forehead to grow back in with...

These guys have been cutting my hair since 2000. they have been at this location since 1998 and it is family owned and operated. The quality of service is unsurpassed. I want to add an update, What sets them apart? Well that would be hot towel service and an amazing neck and shoulder massage, The shop is always clean and presentable. One last thing. Gentlemen, If you have not had the experience of having a Barber shave your face, let me tell you, it is incredible, the hot towel, to soften your beard, then they lather up your face with a warm rich aromatic shave cream that is packed full of emollients to condition your beard, and after a few minutes of letting that sit, you feel the thin edge of a straight razor glide over your skin, it is so relaxing you almost want to fall asleep. Lastly the barber finishes with an invigorating face massage that feels amazing. If have had an old fashioned barber Shave you know it is a great feeling, If you haven't then you need to treat yourself at...

I've been here two different times, Once for a haircut and shave, another time for a "trim". The first time the haircut was great, however after the straight shave my neck bled for days on end and looked like I had been mauled by a bear. You would have thought that was warning enough to stay away but after a few months I decided to go get a neck trim. Bad Idea. Apparently when you tell Boris your growing your hair out and to leave the top and sides alone, In Russian it mean to cut EVERYTHING and leave it a little longer than normal. I am a professional, I need to look professional. I left this place with my hair looking like a cotton swab. Then when you do ask for it to be fixed they talk crap about you in Russian. Bad Business. Speak English around your English customers! I should have spend the extra time and gas driving to my regular barber at 19th...
