Graham’s Barbershop

Great cut every time… Been in 3x so far same thing Greatness

Excellent old-​school cuts. Graham and Scooter are friendly interesting guys. Usually good conversation between those waiting and the barbers. A bargain at $ 20.

First off I need to say that I wanted to love this place before walking in the door. I kept an open mind the entire visit. I greatly value what they are trying to do in helping to bring back the traditional, old school barbershop with a modern twist. Unfortunately in the end the shave and cut fell far below my expectations as a discerning gentleman. Maybe it was an off day for them?
Graham’s has two chairs and both had customers when I walked through the door. The owner has the first chair and didn’t greet me as I walked in the door. That sort of set the tone. His partner however did attempt to engage me even though he too had a client so I especially appreciated that. As a small business owner myself though, I would be greeting everyone with a smile and at least a hello when they walked through the door especially since the owner is the closest person to the door.
The owner ended up freeing up first so he gave me my full face shave and cut. I have very sensitive skin and he was very accommodating to my neck to ensure I didn’t get a cut or burn. However, he blatantly missed several patches on my upper cheeks, around my lips, chin and back of my neck. I actually had to shave myself immediately after arriving home from this trek. There are so many amazing, natural shave soaps and creams out today that work better than the old stuff. I was quite surprised that a shop like this used the old generic stuff in a warm, automated pump instead of all choosing one of the many newer, better products on the market. The hot towel and prep work was solid and the cold towel after the shave was helpful. Basically though, I can shave myself at home better with less effort and less irritation.
If you want a solid fade or WWII era haircut that is all the craze right now, this is probably your place. But for someone with fine hair holding a slight wave, I needed a little more sheer and scissor actions and less generic «#4». I informed the owner that I didn’t want my hair to appear clean cut but rather natural. He cut me clean and unnatural but I never once was in eye sight of the mirror so I didn’t know until it was too late. Glad I don’t have a wedding today.
The prices are totally fair for the time spent with each client but I feel the skill level was just not there for my taste. Walk-​ins are all they do which can work for you or against you depending upon the day and time. I believe they are cash only so be prepared.

Awesome barbershop, friendly atmosphere with some cool movies playing on the TV.
Haircut was awesome, make sure you look at some pictures of their work. Great for a nice blended beard/​hair fade, which is what I had them do. Judging from another customer at the salon, looks like they do nice female cuts there as well with partially shaved partially cut styles. Keep in mind that it’s cash and walk-​in only, so there could be a wait depending on when you go. Waiting room is right by the work area and has about 6 seats, there’s also a bench outside.
Great overall, nice funny barbers, cool atmosphere. Great price for the quality, it also looked like they had a few products on sale as well. Would definitely go again for a cut or trim!

These guys are the real deal! When in Pittsburgh this is the place to get cut, their fades and tapers are legit!

Im always scared to switch to a new barber. I work in restaurants downtown and Graham does cuts for a lot of the bartenders in the Pittsburgh area. Since Im friends with a lot of them, Ryan Graham comes up in conversation often so I decided I needed to pay him a visit. The wait was about an hour which was fine and since it was my day off, I headed over to Franktuary to spend that hour. Once I was in the chair I told Ryan what I normally got and he did his thing. About 30 minutes and a great conversation later, I had a fresh new haircut that I was more than happy with. I normally go to a salon so $ 15 plus a $ 5 tip is a steal for a haircut. Grahams Barbershop is my new spot!

DO NOT GO HERE!!! From start to finish, this was a disaster!
First of all, when I walked in, no one offered me a drink (like they supposedly do), or even said hello! It was dead silent when I walked in, as the two barbers didn’t say a word.
Then, I just sat there until it was my turn, the guy who cut my hair did ask me what I wanted, but once I told him, he didn’t want me to have any say in the cut from there on out. At one point when I looked in the mirror he even told me «relax man, I’m not done yet», very rudely. Needless to say, the cut itself wasn’t how I preferred since he wouldn’t let me look at it or give input.
However, the real frustration came next. WITHOUT asking me, he straight razor-​dry shaved part of my beard AND part of my eyebrows! Not only does it look terrible and is not the style I like at all, it also severely irritated my skin! I am still dumbfounded and beyond frustrated someone would shave my beard and eyebrows without asking me!
To top things off, they talked behind a previous customer’s back after she left the shop.
Overall, this was bad. Save your time, money, hair, eyebrows, and beard. Don’t go here.

Took my kids here to get a cut, and they are, by far, the worst haircuts they have ever had, with bad Dumb and Dumber straight bangs, chunks of stray long pieces, and lots of blunt cut lines. The barbers were kind of rude/​too cool for school, too, and clearly unable to deal with the odd squirm or them not holding their heads perfectly still at the precise angle. I’ve seen my kids be hard to deal with at the barber — they did great this day so I’m not sure what the barber’s problem was. I felt like I was bothering them by asking them to do their job. Won’t go back.

Stopped in to try them out and in need of a hair cut fast. They only do walk ins so no need to call ahead. It’s nice since all the other great barbers are always booked. So bing able to just walk it and sit down is great. The price for a haircut right now is 15 $ but July 1^st they will up it to 20 $. But they take there time and put effort into your hair cut so it’s worth it. I find it hard to find places like this. This is a place you can sit down tell them what you want and they get it spot on. I have been to to meany places were they just take a weedwacker to your head and call it a day. If you need a fast great cut this is the place to be. But remember if there is a line it might take a little time for them to get to you. Just make sure your not in a rush.

Nothing that you don’t need in a Barber and everything that you do — nobody is pretending to be anything here, this place and the people are REAL. Ryan was welcoming from the get-​go, introducing himself and then the other folks in the shop. A perfectly executed cut and some good conversation — a really great first visit… already looking forward to the next.

No nonsense, no appointment necessary. One of the best hair cuts I’ve ever had in my life ($ 70 salons etc.). Genuine person, integrity. Do I need to say more?! And yes I drove all the way across two Rivers this the first time I’ve been here, at 11 am .on a deadline, and Shit, half the barber’s in this city can’t hold a candle to Ryan and Scooter. Being prompt, efficient, and cordial is something you don’t usually get all on one. But I did, and I will for sure be back, good music, no mess, straight shave.

$ 15 a cut (so $ 20 with a tip) isn’t bad at all. The wait was about 30 minutes. It’s not bad, but nothing too special either. I think I am going to stick to Mister Grooming where they engage with their customers more.

Very great atmosphere. Awesome cut. I just moved Pittsburgh and was stressing about a good barber. Happy I decided to come here. I feel like a new man. I’d definitely tell my friends to stop here.

Just went for my first cut a few weeks ago and couldn’t be happier. Ryan was my barber and he was the first one in a long time to understand what I wanted. I have had to describe what a pompadour is or what high and tight was to so many different barbers that I figured I would never be able to find one that understood. I was easily able to explain what I wanted and Ryan just understood! I got a nice, old school, traditional gentleman’s haircut. The full treatment including straight razor and hot foam! Good music, a taste of bourbon and the full barber shop experience! A talented barber and a reasonable price.

cool atmosphere, nice barbers. busy, but not too expensive.
I’m a pittsburgh native but i live out of town. i came in for the holidays and needed a haircut. i’ve had some bad luck with barbers in the past so my lady wanted me to try someplace a bit nicer that would put in some extra effort. so after she found this place on here, i decided to check it out.
i went at about 2:30 on a friday and there was a constant flow of people the entire time i was there, which is good for the barbers but you might end up waiting for a while. i did, but it was probably worse by the time i left. by then the place was packed.
when i got there an older guy was in the chair getting his hair cut, he said it was his 90^th birthday so his barber gave him a free cut and a shave, just thought that was pretty cool. the same guy, who wasnt my barber, encouraged the folks waiting to have a free drink from the mini-​bar in the back of the shop. i didnt have one but also pretty cool.
my barbers name was scooter. he did a good job, i just told him roughly what i was looking for and let him take care of the rest. he asked questions when he needed more info and delivered a quality cut.
considering the quality and the effort of the barbers here you would expect it to be pretty pricey but it was actually just as cheap as any other medium scale barber. if i remember correctly, cuts were 15, wash and cut was 25, and shave was 10.

First time customer, walked in with high expectations. All were met. Scooter took the time to listen to what I wanted and I couldn’t be happier — styled my mop and trimmed my beard. Will be coming back often. Good vibe, good customer service.

Best haircut I have ever received, Pittsburgh or otherwise. Ryan obviously has a love for what he does and an eye for style. All this and the price is right. Walk-​ins only, so you might have to wait for someone to finish, but that was not my experience.

Nice shop. Good music. They were able to take me as a walk in. Perfect price. This is now where I will be getting my hair cut from now on.

Ryan’s shop is the real deal. Just stopped in for a my first cut and he nailed it. The shop is beautiful, the locations is great, and Ryan pulls out all the stops. I will be back. Highly recommended.

Ryan is an amazing barber. He always gets it right. His new shop is hip, clean, and classy. Vintage chairs and all the details you’ll want while you’re getting a classic cut. I will never go anywhere else.
