Whiskers Men’s Grooming

I would love to comment on the quality of their cuts… Sadly a business has to actually be capable of taking an appointment and not missing it entirely for a good opinion on their services.
Called, made an appointment for 11. Showed up at 10:50. At 11:18 I was not only getting hungry, but a little miffed that they were 18 minutes late for their own appointment. I asked the lady at the desk how much longer it would be. She told me 5 more minutes, so 11:23 start time for a 11 o’clock appointment… somehow the hour I had planned for the cut before lunch disappeared. So I left so I could make my lunch meeting, because missing appointments is just unprofessional.
As I was leaving the lady asked me if I wanted to reschedule. what so you can waste another 30 mins of my life?
Would not go back again. Incredibly unprofessional and no attempt to apologize or make right the utter waste of time they caused me.

Excellent service! I just made a Unilocal account for the sole purpose of writing a review for this place. On Monday I got the best haircut I’ve ever had. My hair stylist listened to how I wanted my hair cut and then took the time to figure out the best way to cut it (which I thought was super cool). Cut turned out amazing (in my opinion at least!) The shampoo scalp massage and then shoulder massage provided some much needed relaxation. Would definitely recommend. If you need to get a nice haircut, whether it be to feel good, impress someone, or just because, this is the place to go.
psst… I have also been to Roosters and between the two, I’m going to be coming back here in the future.

I got a haircut here and it was amazing. I am usually not so comfortable with a new stylist especially while visiting but Rachel did a great job. It’s a cool place and they make it a nice experience !!

Expensive, but you pay for what you get. The barber is attentive and gives her opinion of what looks good on your beat up lumpy head. Went in looking like butterbean, came out like Swayze. Greeter was a little confused but that’s expected when someone that looks as good as I do enters the establishment. All in all, if you need a good hair cut and beard trim go see the fine people at whiskers.
PS: Still waiting on my neck massage

I’ve gone here many times over the past 3 yrs I’ve lived in HSV. I liked the general atmosphere, the coziness of the place. I also liked that it wasn’t too far away.
I’ve never liked going to a barber. Felt a little too much like my dad’s era. And barbers, in general aren’t really down with newer styles — I’m not the most hip dude, but you’ve got know how to do an undercut if you’ve owned your own shop since I’ve been alive. So Whiskers was like hitting the jackpot!
The only reason I took off a star is because I had a girl that cut my hair at Whiskers for about 4 months move to another place — but that’s not the bad part. Since then it’s been a revolving door of stylist. After I’d find a girl that could cut my hair how I asked she wouldn’t be there after a few months. I think I had 3 girls card’s in my wallet at one time who had moved on.

Awful customer service experience! I found myself in Huntsville today and needed a quick haircut. I saw they accepted walk-​ins. When I arrived the following exchange happened.
Me: hi, is it possible to get a haircut. I don’t have an appointment.
Front desk girl: no, unfortunately we have no openings.
Me. I certainly understand. Can you recommend another barbershop in Huntsville area?
Front desk girl: I have no idea, I am not from around here.
Me: is it possible to ask someone who is?
Front desk girl: no, they are too busy.
Overall very rude exchange, and no willingness to help. It is a good thing I don’t live in Huntsville because they would have lost my business forever.

NOT consistent! My husband has gone 4 times and they can NEVER get what he wants right. They offer different packages, and the stylists have no clue what he’s talking about. Looking for another place who can get their stuff straight. It’s very frustrating.

I have been going here for about two years. For awhile I also went to Roosters. Whiskers won out. The service is great. Very relaxing. I will not go anywhere else.

It’s hard to find a place in Huntsville that’s has good barbers. Whiskers, although a little pricey, is well worth it for me. If you’re looking for a place for a short back and sides they do it, but who can’t? If you’re looking for a bit more trendy then this is your place. I have Hailey and she never fails. Knows the latest trends and how to cut them. Uses scissors for the the haircut instead of the trimmer.
Get a beer when you enter and enjoy a massage, hot towels etc.
Number one spot in Huntsville for me and I’ve tried a lot.

I used to just buzz cut my hair, until I met my stylist Jamie. I followed her here from her previous employer — she is THAT GOOD! She is one of the kindest, and most understanding people I have ever met. She always has new ideas and visions for my hair, and I couldn’t be happier with the results.

For starters, I just have to say, I’m very particular about where I get my haircut. I don’t ever go to mega-​chain places that offer an $ 8 cut. In my experience, you just don’t get what you pay for in places like that.
It goes without saying that places like Whiskers are more expensive to go to however, it’s commensurate with the level of service you get here.
It’s more than just a haircut, it’s like a retreat for men. You don’t just come for a cut, you come for the experience and the ambiance.
As soon as you come in, you’re greeted and offered a beverage while you wait.
The actual haircut is fantastic. My hair stylist actually listened to what I wanted and gave me exactly that.
They shampoo + condition, wash your hair, and even give a neck massage with your haircut.
On top of that, the business owner is a first class gentleman and is quick to respond to any question you may have.
This place offers by far the best haircut I’ve ever had. If I could go here everyday, I would!!!

I had been going there almost a year. I loved my Barber and I liked the atmosphere.
The receptionist was terrible. I would call to make an appointment and she would tell me to hold and I would be forgot about for a few minutes. This happened more than once. For the $$$, you would think the service would be better.
I was there one day when the guy (I was told later) that owns the place came in. I overherd him talking to one of the Barbers and he was very disrespectful and what seemed to me was trying to intimidate her. None of my business I suppose, but I dont want to hear somebody bullying a woman.
I showed up one day for my appointment and I was told «Oh, your normal Barber is no longer here, we will get so and so to give you a cut.» I said «No thanks, I’m outta here.»
Skip this place because of the poor help and the drama.

In my 26 years on this earth I don’t think I’ve ever looked forward to a haircut. I’m picky, don’t normally like my results, and unfortunately I have no idea how to express what I want in a haircut. After today, I know what it’s like to enjoy and look forward to one.
I travel a lot for work and I needed a cut. Normally a haircut is come in, get it done, and get out as fast as possible. As for Whiskers, the process was relatively quick but felt like I had 5 star treatment. I came in and was greeted with a drink… who does that? I had made an appointment and had my haircut with Jamie. She asked what kind of haircut I would like and I gave my generic description that I always give (unfortunately vague) but indicated more or less what would work given my face shape. Jamie knew what she was doing and expertly cut and styled my hair… exactly like I do, no cues given but based on her own professional skill. When I mentally think of a perfect haircut, the results rarely match up in reality. However, Jamie got it first try
Then the luxurious part kicked in. There are TVs at each stand, I didn’t watch much but it was cool. Jamie straight razored the back of my neck and when it came time to shampoo my hair she gave me a head massage while a hot towel was on my face. She all but put me to sleep at that point. After drying my hair, she gave me a neck and shoulder massage (so relaxing). All of this kind of service is very foreign to me, but I liked very much so. Jamie was great being personable too. I don’t think I’ve ever loved a place to get a haircut, but I really loved this place. If I could I would fly in from DC just to get a haircut from Jamie.
Thank you!

I liked Whiskers for my step son. He needed a cut and shave before a big event and they hooked him up. He felt like a «rock star» with a cold beer and the all-​female staff. The only drawback was a slip up with the straight razor cut that nicked his neck, poor kid. The lady who gave him the shave felt awfully about it and did deduct from the price to cover for the «boo boo.» They gave my step son some type of rewards, or discounted card for a return visit, but due to the neck nick, he ended up going elsewhere.
Whiskers looked clean and the staff seemed friendly and I think it’s a great place for guys to get their groom on. Try em and I hope you don’t get nicked! :-)

After several years of going to the «other» men’s grooming place in Providence, I finally got tired of bad attitudes, poor service and holier than thou attitudes I decided to give whiskers a try.
Great, laid back atmosphere, really nice lounge with huge TV’s and every kind of men interest magazines you could find (The kind guys actually do read the articles). Everyone was really nice, smiling and very friendly.
I got a great hair cut, with a nice massage and enjoyable conversation. Whiskers is definitely my new place for a hair cut. Added bonus, there is a great cigar shop in the same shopping center.

They do a great job on my husband and 4 yr old son!

A great place for a shave and a haircut! It’ll set you back more than just two bits, but it’s worth the price.
First time customers get a coupon for 5 $ off the first visit, as well as 4 and 3 off subsequent visits. In the door you are greeted with a menu of services and offered a cold drink: water, soda, beer? The services offered are wide ranging, even to a straight razor shave (of face OR head). Be sure to let them know if you are active or prior service: they offer a discounted package for either, as well as police or firefighters.
Whiskers is not a place to get a cheap cut, it’s a place to get a good one. I get haircuts pretty regularly as I work with the military, and Whiskers is going to be a regular stop for me.

To say that I hate getting my haircut would be a gigantic understatement. I usually put it off until it’s annoying me to the point that the fear of attempting to find someone I trust to cut it outweighs the annoyance and appearance. I’ve always felt that I have a bit of an odd shaped skull and hair to match. Not that I think that I’m a bad looking guy, but I’ve never received compliments on my choice of hair style.
I recently moved back to Huntsville and thought that I’d try to find someone that I can count on to cut my hair for the foreseeable future. I didn’t have to look far.
I called the morning that I wanted to get my hair cut. No problem.
Upon arriving, I signed in and was offered a beer, soda, or a bottle of water. I declined and made myself comfortable in one of the many large leather chairs. The lobby is filled with magazines and a large television. It would basically be my living room if the wife would have it. In a normal hairstyle or barbershop joint, I’ve always felt the chairs were sticky or just gross in general, but I was as comfortable in these as I would be at home.
My only gripe is that they were a little late getting me in. I think my appointment was for 6:00 and they called me back at around 6:10 — 6:15. Because I made the appointment that morning, it’s not enough to dock a star.
The actual haircut was great. I had no idea what to say that I wanted as I’ve always either just let my wife or other family cut it or had my wife to tell them what to do. She asked if I wanted it cut with shears or a buzzer. I said shears and she said she’d take care of me. She asked along the way if it was too long or too short, but otherwise she just cut what she wanted and I was completely pleased. It’s a great looking hair cut.
Paying $ 21 for just a haircut is a little high, but the more expensive «plus» package is completely worth it. This is coming from someone who’s uncomfortable with other people washing his hair and stuff. There was no reason to be uncomfortable. The hot towel, shampooing, and (rather short, but fantastic) neck rub were pretty relaxing.
Not to mention, the first time you go, you get the «plus» package for free and coupons for return visits. I plan to return. Can’t say enough about how much I look forward to my next cut, whereas I used to dread the experience and awkward weeks following a bad haircut.

For years I have wondered why people like massages. I don’t like people touching me to any degree when I don’t know them well, so a stranger touching the majority of your surface area was quite bizarre as a concept. Finally I understand what they must feel from a massage, but it was simply a shave and a haircut (not two bits, but we’ll get to that!).
When I walked in I was offered a beverage (adult and non-​adult options both available) and clarified I was there for the shave and haircut. I had called ahead about 45 minutes prior, but they seemed to take walk-​ins as well.
When I sat in the chair, it was pretty normal. The lady was pleasant and clarified how short I wanted it and gave a good haircut. I get my hair washed at cheaper places too, but this woman elevated it to an artform. The only way I can describe it is that it felt like my head would easily leave my body and be happy to do so as long as the scalp massage continued. I had to decline the neck/​shoulder portion due to time constraints as I went before work, but next time I’m scheduling it for a much longer period of time so I can see what the rest is like.
This isn’t even the kicker. So far we’re at four stars, because I can get haircuts almost anywhere and be okay with them. My whole life I’ve wondered about getting a shave with a straight razor. Anthony Bourdain seems to be okay with them, so I thought I’d give it a go since I agree with him on so many other facets of life enjoyment. The hot towel put this up to a five star by itself. It was very hot and had a menthol type smell to it. Forgive the lame description, but it was like the smell of a vapor rub without the medication that stings like crazy. The shaving cream smelled great, and the shave was extremely close and done perfectly. After the shave, she put some other kind of smell-​good on my face, and I enjoyed the whole day at work smelling like a clean-​cut city slicker.
I liked Cost Cutters because I’m a cheap old miser, but I’m done. This is my haircut of choice, and as often as I can afford it (special holidays or high stress times!) I’ll throw in the shave too. They seem to have coupons for $ 5 off readily available, and that floats my boat as well.
My wife liked the job they did, and we’re both very glad they do a free trim in between cuts to get the lines clean again. Since I just lop hair off as it aggravates me, this is probably a much better option!
If you go and hate it, I will question your taste in life. If you go and love it, I’m glad to be of service to you!

I’m gonna shoot you straight, you can go to Roosters if you want… Sure there are a couple of locations and it might be more convenient, but do you REALLY want to get a haircut in a place that’s decorated like an 80’s era Applebee’s???
Go to Whiskers. It’s the same sort of deal but it’s a lot cooler, classier, nicer etc. Smells awesome. Looks awesome. Does a great job with the haircut and everybody’s really nice.
I showed up on a Friday afternoon, wasn’t too busy… They gave me a coke and I sat in a comfy chair and watched a little bit of the first round of the NCAA tourney before it was my turn. It was probably the most pleasant haircut experience I’ve ever had. The haircut looks great, too.
