Barry’s Barber Shop

Excellent haircut from Rosa Fuertes. I do a flat top and nobody can ever do it right. Rosa hit it out of the ballpark. I am very happy. Thank you. I will be back.

Nephew thinks this place is the best!
My nephew is extremely particular when it comes to his hair, so finding the right barber is always a challenge. I ha e passed Barry’s Barber shop dozens of times but was hesitant to give them a try. I am so glad we decided to stop by and give Barry’s a try. My nephew absolutely loved his cut.
The barbers at Barry’s are top notch. My nephew had his haircut by Mike and he provided a quality cut that was exactly what my nephew wanted l. I trust the knowledgeable staff at Barry’s and you should too!
Professional and Knowledgable staff, reasonable prices, I have found a permanent barber for my nephew.

The negative reviews here are kinda funny. I’ve been taking my teenage twin boys here for 3 years, since we moved to AZ. The particular barber being dissed here has worked there since we’ve been coming every 6 weeks or so. That guy is nicest of them all and practically lives there. I don’t think he cares at all if someone who usually sees him sees another barber if the place is packed or people are waiting for him. He ALWAYS has a line of people waiting for him specifically and I think he understands when people aren’t willing to wait an hour for a haircut.
The only thing remotely close to being a downside here is the older lady that doesn’t speak very good language. If you get her it’s very hard to communicate with her. Usually one of the barbers have to tell her in Spanish what is being said. She does good work though.
I only came on here to check and see what time they opened today and stumbled upon the bad reviews so I had to speak up and post to save the reputation of a good person at the establishment.

Best barber in avondale. All the associates get down on a hair cut. If your hair cut came out messed up you shouldn’t have paid for it. Besides who lets a girl cut a mans hair… Anyways they hold it down for the west valley and continuously (8years) have served me and my family with great hair cuts.

I’ve given this place chance after chance to redeem itself. First time I went about 2 years ago and I liked it, especially for the convenience factor of the hours. However, the last three visits have been disappointment after disappointment compounded by unskilled barbers. I thought perhaps maybe they were better on certain days as barbers rotate… WRONG. I’ve visited both mid week, weekend AND Sunday. To be equally or more unsatisfied each time. I should say that my standard for a $ 17 haircut is above average but certainly not unreasonable. When I get a haircut I ALWAYS TIP having no problem handing over $ 20 or greater for the entire experience. Now to describe the reasons for my post. They are many so be prepared. I went on a Wednesday asked for my usual skin taper with a line up. Well did I ever get a lineup, it was pushed back 5 ft! And no where near straight. The rest of the cut was ok. I had to wait two weeks for my hair to grow back. And I still tipped. Now for today’s post. Visited on a Sunday morning, gave my usual instructions for a skin taper with line up. 10 minutes later the barber hands me a mirror. I was mildly annoyed at this point as she didn’t even attempt to line my hair up. I asked her to finish and when she was done she asked me «is it straight?» Ok now I’m VERY irritated. You’re the barber professional do you not have an eye for the hair you are cutting? And finally to close today’s experience, it is football Sunday. Myself and a few other clients were befuddled as to why we were forced to watch a water softener infomercial. Clients had to ask 3 times if they could change it to football. To which the older gentleman barber seemed not to want to be bothered while my female barber was applying 7^th grade mathematics trying to figure out how to complete a straight edge up on my now guinea pig forehead. The only ray of sunlight was when a younger male barber entered the shop. He was the only one who seemed to have any sense of being a barber. Finally, I have given up on this wasteland that Barry, whoever that is… calls a barbershop. The two stars are given for the fact that they have clippers.
Rest in peace to my hairline… :(
