American Male

Good venue and atmosphere but the absolute worst haircut I’ve ever had. Every part of my fade length and style that I told her she butchered

Tanna is amazing! Great haircut and friendly service. Get the full haircut package. Well worth the price!

Just left A.M. for first time. Had appt. with Tanna. She is amazingly talented, super sweet and very personable as well. Stylist don’t usually nail my haircuts first off as I have some quirky growth patterns but Tanna was awesome and gave me an amazing cut. The scalp massage was pretty incredible as well. Will definitely be going back to see her!

This was a fantastic experience. They have complimentary drinks (including a beer), and a plate of fresh cookies waiting at the front.
The salon is very nice. The service was fantastic. Wash, cut, hand treatment, and a hot oil face massage — it’s not just a haircut.
I’ll be back.

Thought I would try this place out after my barber moved out of town. It was definitely a mistake. I was drawn in by the good reviews and talk of all the relaxing services they provide. They were prompt when I got there but that’s just about the only good thing I have to say. My undercut turned into a hack job. My stylist just buzzed straight up both sides before asking if I wanted it faded. She asked if I wanted the back faded but the sides were already buzzed straight up. You can’t really fade the back if you don’t fade the sides. When I got home and looked a little closer I realized what a poor job she did. I have hairs sticking out that she missed when she buzzed it. One side is worse than the other. She did a decent job on my beard trim which is the only reason this got 2 stars instead of 1. After she finished cutting the top, she asked if I wanted «a shampoo and all that.» Well, seeing as every other place I’ve been too does that before cutting, I told her not to bother. She just brushed it back and didn’t even try to style it. I normally love the feel of a new haircut but now I just feel angry that I spent $ 40 on a haircut that would have been better at a place that charges a quarter this price. My advice, drive up the street to Fino which is what I should have done.

I’m from out of town and I come here to get a haircut each time I visit. I wish American Male was in LA so I could get a quality haircut and groom session whenever I wanted. If you want to look your best before going out, look no further and hit this place up! Ask for Tanna to cut your hair and you won’t be disappointed!

I’ve been going to another national chain for about 15 years now and I thought they did a good job. However, I was blown away today with the amount of services that they offer. Yes, it is $ 45. And I’m giving them four stars, instead of five, because their website pricing is wrong. It says it is $ 39. If you know your website is wrong, you need to deactivate the page, until someone can correct it. But everything else was great. I got there about 15 minutes early. I was astonished when I was offered a beer or hard cider to drink. That was totally unexpected, but sweet. However, I did not indulge as I had many things to do today, and not a whole lot of sleep. They have a lot of other complimentary non-​alcoholic beverages as well. I’m glad I didn’t get a drink, because within five minutes, they were ready for me. Jen took good care of me. She did a great job cutting my hair the way I asked. One of the things I’d looked forward to was the Parrafin Hand Wax. My hands get the worst dry skin and I was hoping that it would help. And it did! I loved it. Then you get a nice shampoo, conditioning, scalp massage, face massage and toning. It was great. If you add in all the extras you get here, and you pay $ 27 at the other national chain, I think it’s a pretty good deal. I will definitely be coming back here whenever it is hair cut time again.

The best grooming experience I have ever had! It was so much better than a typical hair cut. It’s worth coming here for the outstanding service, knowledgable & friendly staff, and variety of grooming options they offer. 5 stars all the way!

This is my first Unilocal review ever and it’s only because the service and quality at American Male was absolutely great!
They start with beverages of your choice with everything from soda, coffee, tea, even beer! Environment is perfect and everything they have is top notch. From eye brow cleanup to hand wax to a great cut, I’ll definitely be coming back.
Jen was my stylist and I would highly recommend her!

The fade… Seems like an easy cut and one that even the fresh out of beauty school stylists could do. I don’t think so. IT IS HARD to find a stylist that can fade. Almost impossible sometimes. Claudia faded me from a one to maybe 5 inches and it was an experience to remember. Super friendly… Super professional. And Super efficient. Head massage, mini facial, hand wax (it really makes your hands super soft) and of course the on point haircut. I wish I found this place years ago. Everyone was professional and it seems like management/​ownership has their stuff together because everything is perfectly structured and executed flawlessly. Salon pampering isn’t only for girls anymore! I walked out of here feelings like a million bucks. Really worth the money. I can’t wait to be back!

I don’t mind paying more if I can get a girl that is consistent and good at cutting hair. I used the same girl here twice and it went well. I showed up 7 mins late to my last appointment and I was told that if I were to go through with my haircut, it would be the same price but I wouldn’t get any of the extras. I was then pawned off on someone who had never cut my hair before. I decided to just cancel.
How are you going to charge $ 45 for a simple gentleman’s cut and then only alot a 30min time slot? The lady said she couldn’t miss her son’s karate class.. . Wish I would have known that before I battled through traffic to get here. I always tip $ 10 too, which I think is generous for how easy the job is. When I pay that much for a haircut, I expect impeccable customer service, and a grooming experience, not an in and out haircut.
Rod,
Nowhere did I insult anyone. Tanna is great at cutting hair. I merely mentioned that the style of my haircut is less difficult than most to accommodate. My problem was the price point vs Customer service/​Time allotment. I upped the rating because I appreciate your response. I split time between Las Vegas and Orange County for business and I go to ¹⁸⁄₈ Mens Hair Salon. Thanks for offering me the referral. Good Luck.

I wish I could come here everyday. Everybody mentioned the beer, but don’t forget the face massage, awesome hand dip and that killer massage chair. Jen is super, can’t wait to come see her again!

I’m not going to lie, the hair cut was no where near the price.
The entire experience was not worth the price, actually.
Sure, you get a nice wash/​condition (I do that at home for a fraction of the price)
and the paraffin hand wax dip is REALLY great… but it still does not make the entire experience worth the cost!
If I walked out of there feeling like a million bucks & a hair cut that made me beam — this would be a different story. I felt good. But again, just not amazing.
Was it worth it to give it a shot? Yes, definitely — you could get the right stylist… It ALWAYS Depends on the stylist!
But I just can’t spend this much money to try each and every one of them out.

I will start by saying that the place doesn’t look bad good customer service and waiting area however 10 minutes for a fade? Most places usually take 30 – 40 minutes if not more. The stylist spent more time on the hand treatment then cutting my actual hair. Even left a $ 20 tip once I got home I noticed the horrible job she had done.

My husband and I came here after he desperately needed a haircut. We were debating on whether to spend the normal 15 – 20 $ but really we didn’t trust anyone in the city since we just moved here. We had drove by this place not knowing what to expect, except that it had great Unilocal reviews which are always helpful esp when you move to a new city. For 42 $ for a haircut we thought was a little high, and I still think it is but you’ll see why below with all the amenities and service.
As soon as we walked we were happily greeted by the lady at the front desk (don’t remember her name). She immediately offered both my husband and I one of their 20 – 30 premium drinks (coffee-​of all favors, tea in my flavors, energy drinks, sparkling water/​perrier, brand name sodas from coca cola). And then we were asked to sit in the lounge to wait… leather seats, a dart board, a gaming machine/​dream arcades, and most importantly a massage chair (for those of us who have to wait). There are also 3 computers to search the web and about 5 tvs where of course they are playing sports channels.
I have to say this is just like a women’s salon… but for men.
We had Tanna, she was good but kinda hard to gauge as we just met her. She asked us what we wanted and was pleased to oblige. The haircut (according to my husband went like this):
cut hair
parafin on hands
then only 1 wash/​condition– they were supposed to do 2
scalp massage
face massage with toner
then style.
The best part is that they will do a touch up 2 – 3 weeks later for FREE.
Overall he said it was a good experience… and his hands felt soft. Lol.
Will probably come back here for the touch up despite it being pretty expensive. If he’s happy I’m happy.

Melanie is the best, always does a great job and a pleasure to talk with. Highly recommend her.

When it comes to haircuts, I grew up going to barber shops on Air Force bases or the closest Supercuts in my neighborhood. Maybe a haircut at a Fantastic Sam’s if I was going together with my mom. I balked at paying $ 20 or more for a guys haircut. But then I finally reached a point where I saw that these $ 10-​$ 15 haircuts weren’t…cutting it. The inconsistent cuts, the random schedules of people I thought did a decent job, the hurried feeling of my barber (stylist?) trying to get as many customers in their chair as possible.
After two visits to American Male, that phase of my life is over. I’m ready to pay $ 40 for a haircut. That doesn’t really tell the whole story though, because it’s a bit more than a haircut. My two experiences went something like this:
— Check in with the super friendly receptionist (Casey? Kasey? Kacey? KC?), and get a beverage (water, tea, coffee, energy drink, beer).
— Let the stylist know what you want, and they trim what they can with clippers.
— Shampoo.
— Finish cutting with scissors.
— Neck shave with razor.
— Dip hands in parafin wax and let it… soak? Marinade? They keep the wax on your hands, is what I’m saying.
— 2^nd shampoo with conditioner.
— Face massage and a hot towel afterwards.
— Head massage.
— Rinse hair, remove wax from hands.
— Style hair with product.
The whole appointment lasts about 30 minutes, and nothing feels rushed. Each time I felt quite surprised that I got so many services within a half hour without feeling hurried. I was helped right away each time, but the waiting room does have computers with internet, TV, and video games.
During my first two visits my stylist was Krystal. Super friendly, professional, precise, and consistent. Not only was she the first one to cut my hair at a full service male salon, she was also the one I entrusted with giving me a new hairstyle for the first time in about 12 years. Change can be hard. It’s not hard to say good bye to barber shops and decide to keep coming to American Male.

American male has been my go to place for a haircut the last 3 months now. I’m a very indecisive person in regards to my hair, so when I walk into a salon and tell the stylist to do whatever they think would look best, I usually get strange looks.
Tanna has been cutting my hair here since the first time I walked in and has always given me compliment worth hair, and I couldn’t imagine having anyone else cut it for me.
The salon as a business is fantastic, nothing beats being able to walk in and grab a beer before your haircut, even though I’ve never been able to finish it before they were ready for me to sit down. Everything included in the quality grooming package is amazing, especially if you’re like myself and would be willing to pay for just the haircut itself.
Plus if you recommend a friend who comes in you both get $ 10 off of your bill.

I have been here three times, and have been pleased with the service and the quality of my haircuts each time. This morning, poor planner that I am, I showed up 15 minutes late and they were gracious enough to still seat me for a haircut I desperately needed before a business trip tomorrow. They did inform me that we wouldn’t have time for some of the frills — the hand wax, etc. — which I enjoy but don’t find necessary. I was worried about a rush job on the haircut, but I’m happy with the outcome. (Full disclosure: my haircut is pretty simple.)
The grooming package for men is $ 42 before gratuity which is high but IMHO reasonable for Vegas. I do wish they would unbundle some of these services so I could just get one of the services in a session, but I understand the business logic.

Kristal at the southwest location did a great job!
I’ve been going to the northwest location of American Male for two years. My stylist at that location parted ways with the company, but I was always impressed by the grooming experience with America Male that I decided to stick with them for my most recent cut. I rolled the dice and let the friendly scheduler choose my new stylist for me. I live in the southwest, so I was happy to try out the south salon.
The south salon is far nicer than the north. Much roomier, much better décor, much better music selection. Overall, better energy.
Kristal had a few notes from my previous grooming sessions and I gave her some guidance of what I wanted. Change is always nerve racking, especially when I have had the same person cutting my hair for 2 years. Kristal’s confidence eased the tension. She began cutting my hair as if she had been the one doing it for years. The finished results turned out great! Great face and scalp massage too! Kristal knows her craft. She definitely earned my repeat business.
American Male is now 2 for 2 with stylists. Excellent place for a guy to get a haircut.
