3 stars since I didn't actually get a haircut here. Â My review is based on the customer service NOT provided during the 40-min wait for a haircut here.
Stopped by on a random Wednesday afternoon-- how busy could it be? 2 people waiting in front of me, 2 barbers. Not bad, right?
First, of all, I was never greeted. The guys who worked here would look, but then go back to buzzing hair. Guess I don't exactly fit the customer base description (no tattoos no piercing) but still, can you make me feel like a customer?
Where it really got me was that one of the barbers decided to take a cigarette break after his customer #1. Cool and I have no problem with that. Then he came back in with some "regular" customer who proceeded to get a haircut immediately before me. Â WTF?
I sort of watched it happen in disbelief before deciding to peace out. If this place is not your scene, I'd recommend saving yourself the time and trouble and going elsewhere.
Cody the barber is legit! Who doesn't love a barber shop that has a keg and music, but also has talented barbers who care about what they do? I think all the dudes working here are probably a safe bet but I will continue going back to see Cody. Best $15 cut in town by a long shot! Definitely worth checking out.
Review Source:This is seriously such an awesome place. Â I didn't know what to expect, really, when I first popped in, but I left with a great haircut and a light buzz from the free beer they give you while you're getting snipped. Â I was thinking, "Man, this is.... this is like the manliest place the get your haircut: Â Tattoos, haircuts and beer and the option of getting a hot shave." Â The only thing missing was I didn't see an issue of Playboy anywhere, but there were some tattoo artwork cartoon boobs on the wall, so that's cool, I guess.
Review Source:AHH! I just got a super short summer cut last night!
Once again awesomeness from Timmy! A lot of barbers don't grasp the shaved head, giant beard thing, but guess who has a shaved head and a giant beard? I do!
I posted the obligatory post-haircut selfie to Facebook, and BAM. 21 likes!
In our society of digital narcissism, attractiveness is measured by Facebook likes, right? Cuz omg, I'm hot like young Elvis, if that's the case.
I took my squirmy 3 1/2 year old son here for his school pictures cut (no pressure, right?!). I'm sure it's not typical for them to do children's hair, but the barber was great. He got a really great cut! Â Can't wait to send hubby there soon for the full beer, cut, and a shave. Great place!
Review Source:So your looking for a haircut... errrr tattoo? Â Well my friend this is the place! Step up to the chair! While your at it why not have a brew? Â Great haircut, cleaned up with the straight razor, hot towel and away you go. Â (by the way I don't consider it a barber shop unless they use a blade, the others are just salons)
I would give it a 5 but I cant vouch for the tats. Â One day that may happen.
I thought I'd update my review since there are some recent negatives. Â I'll just keep it simple:
If you want a good haircut, with an old skool vibe (a la kustom culture, rockabilly, or nostalgia) - this is your place.
If you want a basic haircut from experienced barbers with no frills - this is your place.
If you want a beer while you wait - this is your place.
If you want a mediocre "factory" hair cut, done by a talkative, petite lady that won't shut up about her kids, and keeps laughing and gossiping with the 15 other hens in the shop - This is NOT your place.
The barbers aren't the most talkative? Â Big deal. Â They cut your hair and do a damn fine job. Â The more often you go in, the better the hair cut gets. Â You have to wait sometimes? Â I see that as a good thing, even if it can be frustrating. Â It means a quality local business is doing good, and they're likely to be around the next time you need your ears lowered. Â And for the community that admires a nice pompadour, that's a must.
It's like this: Â Great haircut. Â Fair price. Â Cool atmosphere. Â Leave the latte at home. Â Put your cell phone away. Â Relax.
'Nuff said.
Not really sure why the more recent reviews are terrible, but this place still rocks. Go on Monday night to have ERIK do your cut. He's totally friendly, great conversationist, and cuts what you want and nothing more. I've gone probably a dozen times. A few haircuts and lots of beard trims. It's cheap & quick.
Review Source:The first 3 times were great. This last time was not good. Asked for a simple fade with a little trim off the top, but that's not what happened. The "fade" was even all over, and whoever the guy with the 3 nose rings is, he seemed pretty snooty unlike his usual demeanor. Maybe should have explained what I wanted in more detail. The haircut took less than 10 minutes, yet he took his sweet time on the customer prior. Not to mention, this was after waiting a long ass time and watching them all take a smoke break WHILE there were still customers inside, including me. Most professionals would wait for all the customers to leave before taking breaks. I'll probably give this place one more chance.
Review Source:I never got a haircut from a barber until today. I ain't gonna lie, it was because I was cheap and did it at home for free beforehand. So anyways I looked up barber shops on Yelp looking for a place that was specifically a barber and not a "salon/barber shop" because lets face it, I am a guy. Â I found this place and read a few reviews, then checked out the photos. I really liked the vintage looks this place had to offer. I had a fade once that I got from a friend, which was "ok" but wasn't professional quality. Oh yeah... They do tattoo's (which I didn't get though). AND FREE BEER!
So I walked into this place and they greeted me of course, and asked if I wanted a tattoo, haircut, or both. I told them a haircut then the very 1st thing they asked for after that was if I wanted a beer. I sat down in the chair and the barber was discussing the options I could and can do with my hair. I told him the type of fade I did want and he pretty much perfected it. Â It looks pretty solid and it was reasonably priced at $15. It also included a trim on my ugly beard and my hairy neck got shaved too. Old School straight edge razor baby.
So if you really like that old school fade look, or even a good ol' pompadour for a good price, you really gotta check this place out.
Gotten my hair cut here 2 times. The first time was a year ago. I thought I'd give the place another shot, but unfortunately both of my experiences were pretty terrible.
The guy at the front seemed cool and somewhat friendly. Colby (the barber) was incredibly unfriendly and acted like he wanted nothing to do with me. I tried starting conversation multiple times and he would give me a 1 or 2 word answer and end it there. He spent 10 minutes max total on my hair AND beard. I could have cut my own hair better. And after all that, he charged me $25($15 Yelp voucher plus an additional $10!!
I can't speak for the other guys in the shop, but it is pretty awesome that you get a beer while you wait. The beer is the only redeeming quality about my experiences.
Personally, I like going to barber shops to get a nice, unrushed haircut and have some great laughs and good conversation. That's not what either of my experiences were like.
I went there a week ago and I got one of the most uneven haircuts in my life, the guy cutting my hair seemed like he was just grabbing hair and cutting randomly which showed in the result as my hair looked worse than it did when I left. I had to go to a different barber the next day to fix it up. I would not go back. It was one of the messiest and worst haircuts I have received.
Review Source:Went there because I heard good things about it from a coworkers husband. Loved the vibe there. Didn't get the barbers name but he sat down and actually asked me what kind of haircut I wanted. He did exactly what I wanted. Great price ($15) for a haircut too. They also have their own line of pomades of which I purchased the High Life pomade.
Review Source:Best tattoo place I've been to! Not to sound hokey, but I was literally a bit shocked when they quoted the first piece I had done there. I had taken the idea to other places and the quotes ranged from $200 to even $300. I ended up paying $140 plus tip at Electric Haven and had a great time chatting with the different employees and regulars while having it done. I have one back several times and each time they have been quick, talented and reasonable. Manny is the best! He knew exactly what I wanted and added a lot of creativity to it.
Review Source:Though Electric Haven can seem intimidating at first, don't be fooled.
Everything about this place is super friendly and awesome. There's nothing like sipping on a cold beer, admiring tattoo art, and getting an affordable high-quality haircut. The staff is great, the environment is relaxing, and with their comfy couch + keg, waiting for a haircut has never been more enjoyable.
The haircut itself is one of the best men's cuts I've ever received. The barbers really know what they're doing, putting in time and care that most barbers can't match. After the haircut, stock up on a free comb, loyalty card, stickers, and brochure about the company's unique history.
Tip well and tell all your friends.
I'm moving to Scottsdale in a month...you know where I will be going for my haircuts? Â Electric Haven. Â This place is amazing, the guys inside are funny, friendly and full of stories. Â They'll even give you beer too while you get your haircut. Â
It may seem really weird at first walking into this place...I'll admit I stepped out of my comfort zone the first time I came here but I am glad I did and you will be too. Â
The attention to detail your hair gets at this place is amazing and they get you ready for showtime. Â Come in here before that hot date you have, before you go out for a night on the town, before a job interview or before accepting your Academy Award and you will be standing a foot taller knowing that you look your very best..
Oh yeah...try the shave too...it's a great price for a shave and the best I've had in town.
A real great place, friendly staff who make you feel at ease while getting your artwork done. I have been to other tattoo joints and usually feel out of place. Not here! The work was quick and turned out great. I can't wait to reccommend my friends to check out this joint. And the price was great. Can't say enough good things about the place. Thanks guys...next I might have to try the barber side and get a pint of High life!
Review Source:Why haven't you been here yet....no really ask yourself....why?
Hands down the best haircut Ive got in years.....and as I continue going it keeps getting better.....and better. Issac is good news, Kolby is good news.....masters of their craft in every way. Â They should be charging double for the prestige and quality of their haircuts, and honestly I would probably pay it.
However Electric Haven is not just for haircuts....
Where they really shine is the quality of Tattooers. Â Adam needs no introduction from his time spent at No Regrets however IMHO although an awesome artist is not my first pick.
KC Lange is my go to guy.....after having him put several pieces on me I am 150% stoked to reccomend him to all of my friends, and continue to do so daily. Â His work is fresh, clean, awesome color, and a huge range of styles that hes comfortable in makes him an excellent choice for a first tattoo, or to add to a growing collection. Â I wish I had four thumbs so I could give him Four Thumbs up......
Travis is another excellent tattooer. Â I'm snagging my first piece by him this week, and am positive I wont be dissapointed (given his awesome demeanor, and killer portfolio)....
All around great dudes, great shop, and a positive atmosphere to boot.....get tattooed here, get your hair cut here......you won't regret it.
I looked into many places before getting my first tattoo and a place to get my following ones. Let me tell you how amazing this gentleman are! I worked right around the corner from there as a manager for cold stone and they are always polite and kind men and respectful. They are all very clean and well groomed. I don't know about you if youd want some grease ball giving you a tattoo with dirty fingers? None of these guys are. They are more than happy to help out any one from their first tattoo to a person whos had them before. At electric haven they make you feel comfortable and relaxed. The owner Adam is an awesome dude, he did mine personally and made sure I was okay the whole time. Â After going here I have referred all my friend and family to Electric Haven for Hair cuts and Tattoos. If the amazing tattoos and hair cuts dont get you in, then the free beer might if your 21+. High life on tap for free with cuts and tattoos. Don't let the harshness of how the boys look with the piercings and tattoos scare you, they are all the sweetest guys ive met. They make you smile and laugh your ass off while your there.
Review Source:The staff is always down, the beer is always cold, and the haircuts can't be beat. Only place I know that includes a straight razor and hot shaving cream w/every haircut, and as long as you're clear as to what you want, you'll get it.
I only got a $13 tattoo on $13 dollar tattoo day, but my understanding is that the work done here is well done.
Their pomade is a bit expensive, but you absolutely get what you pay for.
Oh - one thing. You're gonna get hair in your beer. If you've never had hair in your mouth, then you have bigger problems than a little fuzz in your brew, if you know what I'm sayin'...
For a clean, well-measured, classy man's haircut that makes you feel fresh and cool --- get Jonny as your barber. Â Sit in the chair with some warm shaving cream and a cold beer while people around you are getting inked. Â Leave happy.
Your haircut is Jonny's art and science, and he'll groom you up perfectly at a totally reasonable price. Â Here's someone who takes his work seriously and does it with pride. Â You can tell Jonny cares that your neckline, sides and top will fit your head well; and you can trust him too. Â This is his passion, and you want someone like that taking care of your hair.
The atmosphere here is great, extremely artistic and professional, but also incredibly down-to-earth. Â Relax with a beer while you get your haircut and come back to get a free edge clean-up inbetween visits back. Â Great service.
For a few years my husband has been wanting to get something tattooed on his ring finger as his wedding ring is very uncomfortable. He had the day off yesterday and made a spur-of-the-moment decision to just do it! We hopped onto Yelp and read the positive reviews of Electric Haven (even though most of the reviews were about the barber side of the business). We called and Adam (the owner) said it would be no problem to put a tattoo on his finger, and he had time right then to do it, so we headed over hoping we'd made the right choice for a tattoo shop.
Well, the minute we walked in we felt we'd made the right decision. Adam is totally cool and had no problem copying my husband's design exactly as he wanted it. In fact, he even improved on the design. We were in and out in less than 20 minutes, and the price was extremely reasonable. We will definitely return when I decide to get my ring tattoo :)
We also talked for a while with Wade, the barber. He is an incredibly nice guy. My husband will definitely go here when he decides to finally cut his hair (he's growing it out right now).
Highly recommend this locally owned place.
I just wanted to say how great these guys are. My original review was based on a haircut about a month ago. Just a couple of days ago, I came back in to get another cut. Â We've been working to get my hair into a kind of 1940's side part cut.
Anyways, I come in and he takes a look at it. He tells me that if we give it another week of growth, the cut would look much better. He cleans up the edges, Â puts some pomade and sends me out the door FREE of CHARGE.
I cannot express how much I appreciate these folks.
This place is fantastic. Â First of all, I was recommended to come here and get a haircut by J.D.B. and upon arrival was greeted by some really nice people. Â Almon had me sit right down and poured me a "cold one" even before we got started. Â That type of service is hard to find these days. Â While getting my haircut, I was looking around the parlor and was noticing some really cool tattoos and artwork on the walls.. Â I didn't have a tattoo, but thought why not give it a rip. Â I am a huge Red Sox fan and Josep, the tattoo artist, showed me some designs he thought would look great. Â After about a minute or two of deciding on whether I should get it, I was strapped in and ready to go. Â He gave me a really cool tat and it only took about a half hour. Â I highly recommend this place for either a great cut and shave or a really cool tattoo. Â Stop wasting your time and $$ by going to the chain haircut stores and treat yourself to "5 Star" service...
Review Source:To men who are still paying $15-$25 for styles at super cuts, or other "chain" style shops/salons, wake up. Women are standing behind you at the gas station, gym and post office wondering what happened to the area you can't see in the back of your head?
Got thinning hair? Growing it longer in the back only illuminates the thin areas; get it tapered up properly in the back and the balance looks fuller.
Go to a real barber and get a cut flattering to shape of your skull; think light bulb instead of super cut "helmet".
As mentioned in other reviews, finding a good barber can be a challenge without looking like a hair experiment afterward. Same as locating an expert tailor that makes you look good in clothes.
First visit here today, walked in and met Almon, friend of Adam the owner and "on-loan" here, until returning to Austin at end of month. Ironically, Almon has exact same haircut as mine--straight brown hair, slicked back. He had a clean looking haircut himself, with tight taper. Asked who here cut his? He does so mostly himself.
Hopped in the chair for an excellent cut with tight taper. Straight razor finish, hot towel and and dab of pomade on top to finish it off. Have to agree with Brandon as well, you're walking out ready to show.
Did I mention Miller High Life beer on tap at the shop? What are you waiting for...
Update--have made switch to V's Barbershop, Ocotillo location. See review.
I'm following brandon on this one, its for Wade.
I've been getting my hair cut by wade since my original review, I like that I can tell wade what i'm wanting to do and i'm always happy with it. he is also a skilled conversationist (sp?) we always BS about our army days and stuff. my only complant is i can't have a free beer... at least for another 9 weeks.
