Best Barber Shops In Raleigh

“Most professional and customer friendly barbershop I’ve ever been to. JAnthony and Reggie are go to barbers and hairline is still fully intact. Very respectable establishments that makes everyone feel welcomed.“

“Van was so kind and made sure my son felt comfortable and good about his haircut before we left! He especially loved the complimentary Dr. Pepper!“

“Kind folks who give a killer haircut! I've never been disappointed and have stopped going elsewhere for a lesser fade. They'll give you the hot towel treatment and wash to make sure you aren't shedding all day either!“

“Walked in, Tony did exactly what I needed and real quick, and I was out in 15. Thank you!“

“Took my two boys here to get haircuts. One had Steve and the other had Steve Jr. They both did a great job - my boys loved their cuts. These are great guys doing great work in a good old style barbershop atmosphere for a reasonable price (paid $21, compared to most other shops we've been to recently which are up to $30). No fru-fru nonsense like what you get at some of these new chains. Good old fashioned barbershop where a man can get a man's haircut, which is what we like. Definitely will be returning.“

“Great barber shop! I saw lots of glowing reviews for some of the other stylists there, but Jenita did a fantastic job for me on my first visit. Extremely friendly, professional, and thorough. I will definitely be back to see Jenita again!“

“Steve is the best! On top of being a fantastic barber, he is a great dude and awesome to talk with. My hair is straight but I have cowlicks and I usually walk away from most other barbers with one side of my head being a little bit bigger than the other. Thought that's just how it was and I made my peace with it until Steve somehow performed a miracle and pulled off a good haircut and I've been going to him ever since.“

“Since the beginning of this year, Sarah has been helping me determine how extensions can be used to add thickness to my hair. I have very fine, very straight hair that will go flat to my head no matter how much time I spend styling it. With the extensions, Sarah has given me a new outlook to what my hair can do! I can now have curl that lasts or wear my hair straight with a lot more volume. She has taught me how to care for the extensions to get the most out of them. Thank you Sarah; I look forward to continuing down this road!

Specialties: Extension installation and color

Hair type: Fine, straight, below shoulder

Stylist: Sarah, she aims to understand the needs of her customers and works with them to form a plan.“

“Fast and efficient. I appreciate the private suite and worship music. My beard is stunning.“

“They get my hair right every time. Even though they find it strange I want it finished and then the top chopped all to hell and uneven. They'll treat you right, but being cash, they don't take cards“

“Nas is an ARTIST with the clippers. You can always tell by someone’s finesse and attention to detail that they love what they do. He’s also just easy to talk to. And he always gives me the look I want and fades the beard up so nice. I also like the modern vibe of the spot inside, it’s well lit, and the playlist is always dope. Highly recommend cutting here, though I don’t want Nas to be overbooked so I can still get cut lol.

Requested style: Low skin fade into the beard“

“Good stuff! Convenient and professional. Each time I take whoever is available.. Excellent! Jody does a great job!“

“Best Barber in Raleigh! (Female Perspective)

Hair type: 4b/4c salt and pepper

Stylist: Jimmy is the best!
I have a short TWA (Teeny Weeny Afro).
I went from long relaxed hair, to "natural" about 3 years ago.
I have tried several barbers in the area.
None cut my hair as clean and precisely as Jimmy.
A beautiful, "feminine" haircut:
Jimmy gives me the perfect style, shape, taper and line-up every time.
I also like that he is not rough and heavy- handed, as some barbers are with their female clients.
I leave looking and feeling great.
I get compliments everywhere I go!“

“Walk-ins only. Cash only. My kind of place! Walked in and got a great haircut and a hot lather neck shave all for a very affordable rate. This will be my go to from here on out.“

“The staff is always very friendly and on time with their appointments.
The place is clean and they do offer beverages while you wait to get a haircut.
Last time I went in they were able to squeeze me in their busy schedule and get my hair take care of without an appointment as there weren’t any available before the holidays.
5-stars customer service!“

“New to Raleigh and needed a barber for my teenager. He wanted the new it style and he got it. Brandon knew exactly what to do. Very pleased with the service and love the private atmosphere.“

“Just wanted to share on my experience here. I work in the same shopping center as this shop so I figured I’d go and get my beard trimmed. I’ve met Jeriah before while in the area and he did a great job at promoting the shop so i knew I had a great place to go. Just want to take a minute to express what a great job Jeriah did. He’s super friendly and a true artist. This is the most confident I’ve felt while rocking a beard. He definitely deserves some true recognition. I’ll always go to this shop to have it trimmed up because of him.“

“Good spot, Lotta chairs. LOVE that they're attached to the Dominican restaurant lol“

“Had a haircut by Devin today. I can see why she’s booked out. Excellent service and result. She was attentive to my preferences, very detail oriented, and when I gave some stylistic leeway, she did not disappoint. Clearly a top notch professional. Thank you guys so much!“

“Great haircut each time. Brandi cuts my hair. If you are lucky she may cut yours. She is always prompt and very experienced in hair styles“

“Alfredo cutting up the Best fade in Raleigh. Getting better cuts than I did in Jersey. Very nice shop and good fun atmosphere too. Can’t thank yall enough for being so welcoming and friendly since the first day I walked in.“

“Just moved to Raleigh and was in need of a new barber. I was putting it off as I had been going to the same one for 6 years, but I’m glad I finally pulled the trigger and went to Ed.

He was very precise and cut my hair exactly how I wanted! I’ll definitely be back.“

“I have been going here for over a decade. Great family (all the barbers are father and sons) and one the only places that can do a good fade every time.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Alaboud Salon is top-tier — clean, welcoming, and super professional. I got a shampoo and conditioning treatment, and they went above and beyond to make sure I left feeling fresh and confident. Great attention to detail, fair prices, and friendly vibes all around. Definitely my go-to spot now!“
