Reviews of Paramount Barbering Co

Ryan Young

I've been going to Paramount practically since it opened, and I dig the vibe and atmosphere. I've been getting cuts from my barber, Paul, for a bit longer. I've only ever been to Paul, whom I highly recommend. Over the years, I've heard people complain. (When did getting your haircut become fancy? You don't serve walk-ins?) But for every complaint, I've also seen the staff accommodate unique situations. Yes, it's not always great that I have to schedule an appointment 2 months in advance and stay on top of it. Yes, it kind of stinks that it's cash only. But this ain't Sport Clips. A hair cut will be more than $15. However, I have only ever gotten compliments on my haircut since going to Paramount. There is a level of craftsmanship that isn't at a big chain. Admittedly, men can feel intimidated finding a place to get their hair cut because it's often low on the priority list. I didn't know how to describe a haircut I wanted when I first saw Paul. But if you ask and try your best to communicate what you think you want, they will work to understand. They'll even tell you how to describe it to others barbers if you decide to go elsewhere! Paramount knows who their audience is and caters to them.

Aaron Jameson

Best barber fade in Des Moines, in my opinion. Clipper Cole makes it look easy. I always walk out feeling satisfied.

Kevin Hacker

This was my first time going to Paramount but I won't be my last. Attention to detail is what I was most impressed by.

S Sorensen

I love getting a slick style and cut here. I say weird things, and I'm still allowed back. My barber is great, and always able to work with the styles I want. Cash only, cuts take around an hour (meter parking), and you can have a beverage from their mini fridge. Ooh hoo hoo, I can't resist free things. There's also sports things on their TV's, but alas, nothing is perfect 😉

Alex

Great shop! Tye always gives me the best cut and fades.

Sean Gay

Pete is absolutely fantastic! He very clearly has a passion for what he does, and it shows in his work. I’ve never been so happy with a haircut and beard trim! Seriously, if you’re thinking of checking them out, just do it. You won’t regret it!

Jack Lumry

Best cut I've had in years. Great staff, great space. What else can I say?

Adam Suter

Paramount is an excellent barber shop! Jordan is very talented and every barber in there is truly invested in their craft. Get on their schedule as soon as you can. You’re going to love it.

Navid Falahpour

Cool spot. Brandon is great...I'm sure the rest are great too.

russ gibson

OUTSTANDING! Without a doubt, THE best barbers in the area! An excellent environment AND they work by appointment, so you don't have to set aside half a day for a haircut. Luis cut my hair, but I had the opportunity to watch the others work as well and I can tell you, these guys are as much artists as they are barbers. I saw some great cuts going out the door. Really happy that I found this place!

Sean Becker

Been coming in to get cuts by Jordan since they opened. I'm inpatient and shave my head clean about half the year but then I grow it out so I can come in and get a proper cut. Its something I really look forward to. Great conversation, great environment, and a great cut every time. It's a huge confidence boost when you come out looking like a fresh new person. Exile beer in the fridge is a great plus. I highly recommend the experience of getting a killer haircut at least once. This is the place to do it.

Clint Hutchcroft

Tye was friendly, thorough, and this cut was so good I had to post a picture of myself on here for once!

Ryan S

First time here, and I will definitely be back. Paul was my barber, and he has an excellent attention to detail. Friendly and nice to chat with, plus a crispy fade - what more do you need?? Thanks Paul!

Mauro De Ávila (maursss)

I always get my cuts with Luis Garcia and he never disappoints. Personable barber, great conversations, and always timely. Not to mention he does the best fades. 10/10. Would recommend to anyone who cares about their hair.

Desland F. Vando Monagas

The Cream of the Crop There’s great barbers, excellent barbers, high quality barbers, and then, there’s Luis!! He knows how to listen what you want, then if he need to give you an advice, he does it professionally. If you want to see the most steady scissors hands, like a freaking robot, there you have it. And if you like to have an even beard, he’s your guy. This last time I needed a Santa Beard, and he delivered perfectly.

Bret Heiden

Great haircut. I have never left disappointed. They are always busy so make sure to make an appointment ahead of time as they are appointment only.

Spencer Hope

I scheduled an appointment online with Pete for a haircut and shave. My appointment was for 7:30, which is convienant, since I work until 6 every night. I got there a half hour early and Pete must have been ahead of schedule because he sat me as soon as I walked in. I had shoulder length hair and a few days of beard growth and in little over an hour I had an awesome looking fade and the closest shave I've ever received. Pete took his time and paid great attention to detail. I did not feel rushed at all. Everyone there was very professional and easy to chat with. I would highly recommend Paramount Barbering Co but i don't have to. Their work speaks for itself.

Randall Hoffmann

Paul is the best barber around, always had been and always will be. Appointments need to be booked through an app and can be hard to get for weeks at a time depending on barber. I still give a wholehearted 5 stars- that's just how good the cuts are

Ryan Kowlessar

Brandon did a fantastic job trimming my beard and giving a hot shave, especially since it was my first time. He is meticulously detailed, which I appreciate. He is professional and easy going. Highly recommend him and this establishment. Look forward to my next visit.

Matthew Doyle

This is one of the best barbershops in the whole metro. Having been to all barbers in the shop, I can assure you that no matter who you book with you're in good hands. Very professional staff, who maintain a clean and orderly space for clients.

Greg Pickering

My son came in for a "real" haircut, and we definitely found the place! He had Pete as his barber. Great dude, down to earth, and great personality. He definitely knows what he is doing, and will certainly be back. Not to mention, the free IPA is great!

John Sabino

I'm new in town and this place was a great find! First visited yesterday and got a great skin fade haircut from Brandon. He really took his time and paid attention to detail and the results reflected the experience! I texted a selfie to my barber back home and he was impressed. Plus, Brandon was really friendly and it was easy to chat with him. The shop is also really nice and comfortable. I will definitely be back!

Chase Lihs

Pete is always legit. Friendly, communicates well and is easy going. Dope fades every time. 10/10 don’t cheat on your barber!

MacKenzie Talbot

I travel over 2 hours one way with my boyfriend every 6-8 weeks for him to receive the most pristine haircut I have ever seen on a man. Everyone is super friendly and they always offer us a delicious adult beverage. At first I wondered why we had to travel so far for a haircut until I saw their work and realized it was much more than just a haircut! 👌💇‍♂️

Buddy

I just had my first visit to Paramount Barbering Co, and it was nothing short of superb. Brandon was my barber, and he cut my hair to perfect specs. He is a master of his craft. The shop was very clean and had an awesome vibe. "I Will Be Back!"

JM Hunziker

Modern Contemporary design, clean and energetic atmosphere, nice people working. I went for a beard trim and hot shave on my head and went absolutely perfect. Keagan went way above and beyond with his outgoing attitude and very detailed skill set. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a high class experience and a modest price!

Nick Lucs

I've been to three other barbershops in town and I have finally found 'my place.' This is a great place to get a haircut. The barbers are friendly, give you a great cut. I constantly get compliments about my hair. I tell them to go to Paramount.

NoChillDad

My first time, Just got home from the place. I showed Pete what i wanted and he chimed in with experience. Did a very quick and clean cut. No complaints. Will go back. I recommend everyone else.

Sam Oanes

Great place that I have been going to for a year now. Jay has been my guy since I moved to DSM last year. The environment is top-notch, and you really can't complain about having a complimentary beer while getting your hair cut.

Matt D

Best barbershop in town. You get what you pay for and more. Owner obviously very involved and very professional and that attitude is reflected in his chosen staff. All the staff does great work and it's a very clean place with an awesome music selection 🤘 …

Lacey Bartling

Everyone is very friendly it has a good vibe! Keegan has been cutting my son's hair since he was 3! Though now 5 and sits still better he is still a busy body! I am amazed how patient he is with my son, while still managing to give a precision haircut Everytime!

T.J. Scovel

I went to see Zach Bogle. The experience was excellent. The next time I went he remembered the haircut I had before. The bald fade looked incredible especially with the hard part. The Bona Fide hair product he used was amazing and smelled incredible! I went online to their website and bought some! The price for a beard trim and haircut is $35 which I found to be quite reasonable. Don't forget to tip!!!

Tony Thonesavanh

Wanted to try something different and decided to book with Jay. He cleaned me up real nice and I'm pleased with everything -- especially the place itself. I'm a little bummed out that I wasn't offered a beer but it's all good. It's a great experience and I highly recommend it.

John Crouse

Walked in and immediately knew that I was in the right place. All the chairs were full, but there was no frantic rush that I'm used to seeing. Luis was awesome, great guy and he did a great job! I won't be going anywhere else.

Felix Gallagher

You can schedule your cut. The cut is quality. Environment is comfortable and clean. I'm not one for beer but they have free beer there. Cost of the cut is too high.

Corey Stallings

Brandon did an awesome job on my beard!! He listened to me about the look I wanted and he nailed every detail. I’ll definitely be going back!! Thanks, Brandon!!

joseph kerner

I've had a TON of people mess up my hair cut in Phoenix, AZ. I had to make an appointment back here in Iowa to get Zach to give me what I want. Even a year later he remembered my style. Unparalleled service.

Paul Schwegler

These guys are Pros! I like the fact that you can schedule ahead and that it is not walk in only. In fact, they are scheduled so far in advance that if you do walk in there's a good chance they will not be able to take you right away. But don't let that discourage you! If you don't have an appointment you can call and there is a good chance they will have a time available sometime soon. And believe me, it is worth waiting a little bit for!

Sarah Debrouse

My boyfriend just tried this place for the first time he had a great experience loved the place and it's the best haircut I've seen my boyfriend get the whole 6 years we've been together it looks so good

Connor Arellano

Cash only! Have been to Luis a handful of times and always am perfectly satisfied with my hair! $30 for a haircut, but the quality is absolutely up to par

Jared “randomdude_14” Diener

Love this place, I go there all the time for a beer and a great haircut! Have used Luis, Jay and Paul and all do an amazing job and all really friendly!

Chad Austin

First visit. Saw Pete for a beard trim and straight razor. Nice place and very much enjoyed the experience. Will be back to see Pete. Really good dude.

Larry Denger

I've been here twice and have gone to Jay both times. I'll have to admit, these guys have it going on. I discovered them while walking on East 5th and respect their way of doing business, by booking appointments online and doing an electronic follow up after the cut.

Kevin Healy

I had my haircut with Jay. They only thing I said was "have you ever watched Dr. Who?" And he knew exactly what I wanted. Now I look like Matt Smith and couldn't be happier.

Morino Ches
