Reviews of Scissors & Scotch
Brad Pollock
Great experience. Nice facility amazing haircut and beard trim. The "free" drink is a nice perk, but you're paying for it in the price. I'd rather have a slightly less expensive cut and no drink. Even si, I recommend it.
Garret Merle
Wendy was just great. I'm not picky about hair cuts at all, but she was careful to ask questions and adjust to make sure I was happy. She also struck a good balance of small talk which is obviously objective to individual customer preference, but was just right for me. It's a nice place that's casual and clean. Has both a community shop sort of feel as well as a personalized feel. Good stuff overall.
Wade McAtee
I had a really nice time today. Wendy was my hairstylist and she really did a great job of listening to me and being very detailed oriented. Today was my first time there so I was a bit taken back not know the procedure, but that was fine in the end. The only thing that was off for me was that it felt a little loud for my liking. Other than that it was an overall nice experience. Everyone was very friendly to me.
Joseph Barber
It was my first time at Scissors and Scotch. I checked in at the bar, and got myself a beer while waiting for my appointment. Hailey, the stylist, did a great job making me comfortable and talking with me about what I wanted my hair and beard to look like. We did some eyebrow and nose waxing too, which she did a great job explaining the process.
Overall a great experience and I look forward to the next time I need a haircut.
Kim Dickson
Toni listened to the exact type of haircut I wanted and she nailed it.Communicates and checks in to get your feedback.Uses great products yet she does not push them on you. I loved the whole experience & relaxed in the bar over a Tito's. Highly recommend this establishment!
Ronny Tenold
Kaylee was very nice and also very understanding of my situation. I just moved to DSM and haven't found the right person to cut my hair.
I let her know my back story and she responded with "I got you!" By the end of the haircut, I found my person!! She was very open to my feedback and was willing to make my experience a memorable one.
I will be back to visit her!!
Richard Crouse
I have had many haircuts over many decades, but I don't believe I've ever gotten more compliments than after the haircut/shave Hailey gave me.
I kind of regret going now. I don't want to schedule a haircut. I just want to walk into a place and wait for the next available person. I'm just guessing those kinds of places do mediocre work based on this most recent experience. You should probably not be like me and set up your appointment now. 😂
Update: I wanted a haircut today, and I did find an opening for the same day. There may always be cancelations so make sure you check if you want to try it and don't plan well.
Craig Elliott
This is my 2nd time at Scissors & Scotch in West Des Moines and it was just as great of an experience as the first time - so much so that I purchased the annual membership! The bar has an excellent selection (especially for members!) and the treatment is top notch! Hailey is the utmost professional and is diligent in making sure she gets it just right! Again, I am so impressed that I went ahead and got the membership - this is now my goto for haircuts and 1st class treatment!
Mason Altheide
I've been getting cuts at Scissors and Scotch for 4 years now and I am very pleased with the services they provide. I don't always get cuts from the same person, nor the same location, and the experience is consistent. If anyone needs recommendations for where to go, I'll recommend Scissors and Scotch.
Michael Carr
I was very pleased with how well windy did with my hair cut. She took her time and made sure every portion was evenly cut and give me exactly what I had asked for. I will definitely return for future haircuts
Skyler S
I had my hair done by Kylee. She is super friendly and helpful. She gave me great recommendations on products to use and have turned out great. If you have to go anywhere for a hair cut I would recommend going to Scissors & Scotch West Des Moines.
Grant Albers
I went to the Des Moines location for wedding day touch up and was pleasantly surprised having never been before. Every member of our wedding party walked away look mighty fresh and the bartender made me 2 of the best drinks I've had this year including the best Moscow mule I've ever had.
Eric Plumb
Everything was excellent. Drinks were well poured, and my stylist was very skilled. Came back the second time and was equally surprised at how great everything was. Highly recommend for anyone.
Josh Wells
Jeana came recommended by my former stylist (who moved away) and I couldn't be happier with the referral! Looking forward to many more great cuts in the future.
Tim Wiebenga
It’s a customer service experience every time that we go to Sissors n Scotch. I have taken my sons 14 and 17 there and they love the experience and cut that they get. It’s definitely another level from those other places. We all love it.
Parker Corwin
Great haircut. My barber listened to exactly what I wanted. Will definitely be coming back.
Ryan McEnany
Traveled from the east coast for a wedding and damn what a business model. Haircut was great, but everyone was super friendly and accommodating after the grooms flight was cancelled and had to move some of the groomsman’s haircuts to another day.
Shout out to Malik who was one of the best bartenders I’ve ever encountered.
Let me know when one of these opens up close to me….it would be my new barbershop.
Devon Morgan
I had a great 1st experience here. The hair stylist was very nice and did a great job, the bartender was friendly, and the cost was reasonable.
Nathan Subra (Nate)
I had a wonderful experience at S&S. Hailey was a great stylist. Very personable and I appreciate someone who can hold their own in a conversation. I enjoyed my time there-- the quality of the work was spot on. You get what you pay for.
Gregory Barord
Experience was great again! Don't like getting haircuts so when I do, I figure I'll get one in a cool atmosphere with funny, great stylists!!!
Craig Sumrall
The stylist was outstanding. She explained each procedure and had a great back and forth flow that kept conversation moving at a good pace.
Bearded Seabee 82 Outdoors
Barber Drea very educated and versed in beard sculpting, Did phenominal job, and bartender also served well. Will definitly recommend and return!
David Case
This was my first appointment with Andrea based on a recommendation and she did an amazing job. Andrea took the time to listen and made great suggestions.
Hanna Marie
This was only my 2nd appointment here…and at a barber in general. Let me tell you, I had no clue what I was missing! From the fantastic fade to the warm towel while you’re getting your hair washed, it’s an overall fantastic experience!
CrossFit Waukee
I really liked the atmosphere with the check in at the bar. Everyone was nice and helpful. Wish I could have stayed for a drink but had to go back to work!
Larry B
Very nice facility. Pleasant and personable people and an excellent haircut with beard trim.
Will definitely go back again
Thomas Mullins
Barbers are experienced and talented. Whiskey is a bonus. Highly recommend the straight razor shave.
Kevin Kremer
Another excellent experience with Kylie. She was very pleasant and professional and gave me an excellent cut. Tasty drinks as well.
Justin Thompson
This Place has it all... I was impressed with how awesome this place was! I was wanting a new hair style so have been growing my hair out a but and went in with an idea of the style I liked. My stylist agreed that it would be a great style and suggested little tweaks to customize the look to fit my profile. Added bonus to Top-Notch Stylists, the attached bar that you can hangout and chat with other patrons and enjoy a drink.
Josh Crouse
Emily is by far the best barber around. Best service you could ask for. The facility is top notch as well. I won’t go anywhere else.
David Settle
Truly a modern barber shop. Im so glad I decided to go here. Next time I'll go early just to hang out in the lounge. Drea is a master of her craft!
Monte Wyatt
Loved the experience at Scissors & Scotch! Was welcomed with energy and then Hailey took great care of me. She not only did a great job on my beard, but was fun to interact with. This was my first time and certainly won't be my last.....oh and the cocktail afterward and atmosphere was very enjoyable! Thank you!
Ryan Luvaas
Hailey was very prompt and did a masterful job with the beard shaping. I was about ready to shave it all off but now I'm wishing I would have had her leave it a bit longer since she did such a great job. She did outstanding with the haircut as well and was very attentive and made sure it was exactly what I wanted.
Cameron Stotz
Went on a whim with a member VIP pass and will be signing up! Great bar area and staff. The haircut experience was the best I’ve ever had in my life, hands down. Looking forward to changing it up from the cheap-o haircut places. Spend a few bucks more and treat yourself to something above and beyond.
Shane Jones
Second visit was as great as the first. Told Emily to do whatever she thought was best with my hair and I ended up getting a ton of compliments about my hair cut. Despite her advising to not be too nice because it would swell her ego, she deserves the praise. Bar is great too!
Jason Zeliadt
My stylist was great. The whole establishment is great. This is something that may not be for everyone everytime, but is an experience I think everyone should do at least once, and then again any time they're having a bad day and need to relax and feel great about themself.
Tyler Nayavich
One of the best haircuts I've ever received. Excellent staff and great atmosphere. Will definitely be back again!
Shawn Talbert
Awesome experience every visit! All the staff is great, I am always trying to bring in new clientele.
Marlin Reisman
Wendy was very nice and a great barber several comments on the job she did Thank you Wendy!!
Adyson Saunders
Took my boyfriend to get his haircut and have a few drinks. He said the service was above and beyond his expectations! The stylist was personable, experienced and helped him make decisions on his hair. The lounge was very relaxing and the selection of alcohol was wonderful, the bartender knew their stuff and the staff was extremely friendly. 10/10 would recommend
Ian Marlenee
Tbh, I can't imagine myself getting a haircut somewhere else so long as I live in Des Moines. I've been there maybe a half dozen times and often with different stylists and they have all done an incredible job! Every haircut is fresh and fun, and not to mention you get to drink while you're there. Definitely not the cheapest place for a cut but it's service that cannot possibly be beat.
James Dove
I can’t recommend the services here more. The stylist was super friendly and took her time to do an incredible job. It’s the perfect way to get your hair and beard taken care of and have some tasty drinks.
Dylan Stinger
Good experience, stylist wasn't talkative, but the haircut and beard trim were great.
Steven Christian
Great place. Good price and captivating staff. Definitely will stop in for a trim next time I am in West Des Moines.
NIKKI GROTE
First time customer, was very impressed with the level of service and options I received! As a woman with a short cut it’s hard to find a barbershop that will understand MY needs also. From start to finish, service and cut were spectacular for the price. Would recommend.
Scott Hillier
Today was my first time at Scissors & Scotch and I will DEFINITELY be returning. Amazing service, super relaxing, great employees, my stylist was super friendly. This is a great place to go for a really nice hair cut and clean up. Highly recommended!
Ryan Pierce
From the check-in to the check-out…. Wow! I’ve been getting my hair done at the same place for 15 years prior to this. I was super nervous that she didn’t know what I’d want or how my hair worked, but she came up with something so dope, I would have never thought of it on my own! Bartender was great too. All around fantastic experience!
David Soliz
Fantastic service as always. Helped me try something new for a cut. Gonna be coming back all the time now.
Tyler Strain
This was the first experience that I had with Scissors and Scotch and I could't have asked for a better outcome. I will be going back the next time I need a haircut or my beard trimmed.
Adam Christy
Recently switched over to Scissor's & Scotch after using other barber shops for many years and not going back. The pre/post shampoo and the straight blade neck trim are a great touch. The stylists are friendly and the bar service is great...a top notch experience!
Travis VanDerHart
First time visiting for me. I’ve been having my lovely wife cut my hair for the past several years. I was absolutely blown away by the entire experience. I had a smoked old fashion and was greeted very nicely by the bartender as I checked in. The consultation and stylist was so accommodating and friendly! I was very pleased with my haircut and beard trim. I will definitely be coming back and recommending Scissors and Scotch to all my friends and family. Thank you for spoiling this guy for a day!
Cheri Caldwell
Alyssa is a great stylist she has been cutting my husband's hair for 2 years. Malik is an awesome bartender. Just love them both.
Andrea LaFon
Surprised my husband with the 25yr package
He came out glowing and so happy. The service was world class and the drinks all top shelf
We will be back!
Lukas Voss
First time visit and I’ll definitely be coming back. Hands down the best value if you are looking for a great haircut with lots of comfort. Reid did a great job with my hair even though I didn’t really know what I wanted.
I had a Moscow Mule after my cut and it’s definitely an added bonus!
See you next time.
Allen Perriello
Alison is amazing! The bar is great and the online booking system is terrific.
DChi JEllis
Fun, friendly, nice casual atmosphere. I have been getting my hair cut at the same place for years and needed a change. Took a chance on S&S now after they reached out on social media when they first came to town. Jeana is great, professional, friendly, always offering the best suggestions. I’ve added some much needed grooming services and she make those as easy as can be. Mary the bartender always gets me to try something new. A drink before or after my cut is a great and much needed bonus. I should pamper myself like this more.
Jenny Foutch
Husband loves this place. Classy haircut and old-fashioned shave.
Wes Worthing
Wendy was super pleasant and cleaned me up sharp. I can now be seen in public again! 😂 …
Levi C. Byers
Service was great for a first-time customer. My appointment started right on time, and the stylist made sure to make me feel comfortable. Everyone was very friendly and really made an effort to welcome me. I recommend it!
Matt Hadley
Had a great haircut! Recommend to anyone who wants more than the routine barber experience.
Jerredd Elken
This was a birthday gift from my wife. Got take my buddy along. The staff were friendly and didn’t try to drag conversation out of you. Just let you relax. We’re attentive to requests for specific details. I’m happy with the experience and look forward to going back.
Andy
Staff was incredible, from the stylist to both of the bartenders. Nothing here is a gimmick. Stylist gave me fantastic, honest advice about what would work for me and what to look out for if I wanted to try something new. Bar staff was extremely, and I really do mean extremely, knowledgeable about drinks and made for fantastic, easygoing, and friendly conversation. I’ve only been twice, but already know it’s where I plan on going for the foreseeable future. If I could give a better rating I would.
curt covington
This is not a hair cut, it's an experience that every man should have. Enjoy the cut, have your beard sculpted while you are at it. No lame waiting rooms with uncomfortable chairs and cheesy magazines. Wait in the bar/lounge, enjoy an on the house scotch, and watch the game while you wait. Come back for round two after your cut and enjoy some camaraderie.
Matthew McCartney
Whitney did great got the VIP treatment! Highly recommend.
Efren Acosta
Hailey did a nice job on my hair. Very easy to talk too. Place was clean and enjoyed a drink on the house after my cut. Only thing I recommend is some instruction for first timers on how to check in.
Randy Sutton
Excellent experience. I’m a bushy beard guy and was getting a bit wooly. Went there to get shaped up for mom’s funeral and they made me beyond presentable! Got a lot of compliments on the beard. Loved talking beard care with Antoinette and enjoyed a Glenmorangie 14 year pour in the lounge. I’ll be back for my post-holiday new styling!
Nick Lage
Great place and even better service! My bartenders were awesome and my stylist was friendly and understood exactly what I wanted done.
Travis Green
I've been here twice now and both times I've left satisfied with a great looking cut and style. The stylists are friendly and professional and do a good job consulting what I'd like done before starting. I would recommend this place to anymore looking for an great haircut at and affordable price.
Greg Madden
Love the shop, the vibe, the lounge, and the team. This is a great place to get a haircut.
MAURICE MCFALLS
Drea is the person I go to every time and she is very educated in her craft. In addition, I use to have a dry head and now it is silky smooth. I would highly recommend going and enjoying a relaxing moment with your neighborhood stylist.
CJ LeFevre
Hailey was amazing. I found my new regular spot when in town.
Lee S
It was perfect. Felt like I was in my small town barber from high school
Ansley Campbell-Porter
They did a great job. Love that they are open late and on sundays.
Seth Bryant
To say I go for a haircut would do a huge disservice to Scissors & Scotch. I go for the whole experience. The amazing haircut is just a part. Everyone is warm, inviting, and welcoming. You are immediately greeted and directed to the bar, where a perfectly poured drink will be given to you from an amazing bar tender. From the minute you walk in to the minute you leave, of which there is no rush ever, you are treated amazingly. The services are professional and you can tell everyone is very experienced. I leave feeling like a million bucks. Bailey was the stylist I had this time, as I had not been to the West Des Moines location yet. She was so amazing. The best haircut I have ever had, literally. The conversation was great and the service was 5 star the whole way through. I will be coming back and absolutely requesting Bailey again. I would suggest anyone to go here. If you want to get, in my opinion, the best experience with true professionals then this is the place to go.
Jay Weber
Haily far exceeded my expectations, made me presentable again.
Jason Campbell
Wow! I got a gift card to Scissors and Scotch for Father’s Day and thought this would be fun to get a true barber experience. It was so easy to make an appointment online and select the services that I wanted. I got both email and text confirmations. The service was above and beyond expectations! Andrea listened to what kind of cut I wanted, asked the necessary questions and gave me the best barber experience I ever had. Shampoo, cut, hot towel, beard trim, neck shave then I went to the bar for the free drink (an old fashioned in my case). The Staff was friendly and the service was great! I am definitely going to join the club!
Alex Villafuerte
I always enjoy my experience here! They offer you a beverage with the option of getting it before your cut or you can enjoy it after your cut in the bar/lounge. Ja'von was amazing and told my roommate and i a story i will not forget. Store is always clean and well organized. Antoinette gave me an amazing haircut and will make sure i go back to have another one with her. Will recommend coming here for an amazing experience and where you can be treated like family.
James Ferrang
Awesome place to get a quality haircut, and whiskey! Flew in from New York. Stopped in as a walk-in. First I hit the bar and ordered a drink from Mary, she’s super nice with an endless supply of friendly smiles. Reid cut my hair perfect. She majors in hair perfection and minors in good conversations. All around excellent service. Would highly recommend.
James Albright
Emily was my barber, I came in for the first time to make sure I looked the best for my wedding this weekend. She trimmed my beard, hair, used straight razor my neck area. The hot towel felt great. She has a great personality for this field, is passionate about it and does quality work . Afterwards she explained the membership benefits to me and I got a free drink from the bar. Overall this was one of the best haircut experiences of my life. Thank you
My brother also got a haircut with me as he is one of my groomsman and his hairstylist did a great job on it.
Dillon M PAT
Great service, excellent people, and a very nice atmosphere.
Everyone was incredibly friendly, and the environment was very calm and relaxing. I had my beard and hair done, and they've never looked better! Props to everyone there, especially to the Barber and Stylist who both worked on me. I really enjoyed their friendliness and professionalism, and I hope to see them both again soon!
Thanks again!
Chad Bissell
First time getting a hair cut here. Friendly staff; great environment. Lexi did a great job cutting my hair and trimming my beard. Asked lots of questions before and during to make sure it was how I wanted it. Will definitely return.
Garrett Cone
This was my first time being here, and they did such a great job overall. It’s felt truly professional and they truly did care about making sure you left happy with the haircut given. A free drink after the haircut for the first time topped it all off with such an exciting feeling and I definitely plan on coming back here from now on. Thank you all, you all were so great!
Jason Hyde
Well first of all Cora was very nice very pleasant and Emily did a wonderful job was nice herself. very pleasant a great experience all around.
Anjalyna Pierre
Wonderful experience from start to finish. Apointments fill up quickly but we'll worth it if you can plan ahead. Traveled to Iowa for work & it's always a challenge to find a good place but I'm very happy I found this place, only wish they had ta chain all over the states!
Super clean & friendly staff.
Their products are pretty awesome too & wide selection.
Best advice: Show up a little early to enjoy a drink to unwind at the bar. Then sit back, relax and let them chop off that dead weight above your shoulders 😌
Joe Mayfield
Great place with great people who are very talented and very professional.
Thanks for the great service.
greg hansen
Had a great visit. Wasn’t sure what to do- usually keep my hair clipper short, but let it go for at least 7 months during the shutdown, etc and wanted to keep it long and wavy. Let Andrea decide what to do and she did a fantastic job. Couldn’t have gone better and my wife LOVED it. The smoked old fashioned, suggested by Andrea, was terrific, too. Will definitely be back.
Jordan Fash
I got a haircut not long ago and was very pleased with my experience. The staff was very friendly and helpful not to mention the fact that I got a free drink since it was my first time. Jeana was great. I plan to return and would highly recommend!
Ethan Marshall
Amazing experience. First time I was walked to the bar, got a free drink and enjoyed the atmosphere of the bar, and my phone, as I waited for my barber. The bartender was super friendly as well. When my barber brought me to his station he answered all my questions, walked me through everything, was extremely attentive to what I wanted, and helped shape and style my hair based off a photo online. Amazing experience, will definitely come back. Well worth the cost of this place.
Kaley Fleig
Great service, really appreciate the personal touch and excellent bar service.
Amanda Cooper
I surprise my bf with his first appointment at S&S this past weekend and it was so much more then I expected. The entire staff was fun, professional, and very helpful with all our questions. The bar area was beautiful, we are considering going in and just drinking because it’s such a well designed bar with great options. I got him the full haircut and straight razor experience, which I was far more excited then he was for this. (Just the idea of someone holding a straight razor to his throat was fascinating!) Alana was our gal and not only was she very meticulous on getting him the perfect cut, she was also understanding with me observing and asking a lot of questions. We had a wonderful time. James (my bf) said it was one of the most relaxing experiences he had in a long time. We will definitely be back!
Ashley Carter (Ashlalalaleiii)
My boyfriend came here for a haircut as his hair was very long and needed to be cut. For the past two years we have been trying to explain to a stylist how he wants his hair to be cut as he has a widows peak/receding hair line and the cut is meant to mask this. It never turns out quite right. This time however, the stylist Bailey did an amazing job, his hair has never looked better!! We will definitely be booking with this stylist every time he gets a cut from now on. The atmosphere here is great as well!
Curt Pion
They’ve done a great job helping me figure out how to be more than just a #2 buzz cut, and they have good notes that they keep updated to help with the whole process. Overall completely recommend.
Bill Niebur
First time visit to scotch and scissors for a beard trim with Lexi. She was attentive and helpful in making great suggestions on setting lines and trim lengths based on our discussion of end results desired! From entry into the lounge and understanding the system to the complimentary cocktail and the grooming session ... everything exceeded my expectations! A wonderful experience that will be repeated again including additional services! Bravo!
Brandon Risetter
I was referred to S&S by a co-worker and also received a gift card from my kids for a haircut or two. My experience went beyond my expectations. My stylist was Aubrey. It is very relieving getting your haircut and knowing that it is specially cut to your hair type, cowlicks, and that the stylist is looking to create a lasting relationship with you and not just looking to make a quick buck on a 13 minute haircut. The lounge was a great area to unwind after a long week and to prep yourself for 40-50 minutes of a haircut. I could have spent easily 2-3 hours here. All in all, 5 stars, very great experience!
David Schwery
Excellent service from the time I walked in to the time I left. Wendy was amazing, took her time and did an outstanding job. The service was an 11.
John Bisenius
Saw Emily for a Facial sculpt, haircut and shave it was a great experience. It was my first visit and I scheduled my second as soon as I was done!
Seth Stroeber
Friendly & awesome staff. As well as laid back environment.
Andrew Lee
It was my first time to this place and I was very unsure of how it was going to go. Emily was excellent and I was very please with the haircut and the overall experience was amazing. This is my new place to get a haircut and relax.
obadiah sprouse
Alyssa used to be my stylist at their location in Ankeny but she took some time off. I'm so glad to see she is back!!! Thanks for the awesome cuts and great customer servive!
Nate Ingram
Everytime I have been here they have treated me exceptionally! The phase you get what you pay for is true to its reputation here, because this isn't great clips. From the moment you walk in to grab an exceptionally made drink, to getting you hair done exactly how you want it done, you are treated right. My hair is always cut exactly how i want it, the conversation is fantastic, and when you walk out the door you are ready to take on anything. Perfect place to go get a hair cut and stiff drink.
Alex Hills
I went in on the first day having an appointment for 3 days at 6:15 but after waiting for an hour (they close at 7), I never got called and I went home without a haircut. The staff was great throughout and they were apologetic but I was still annoyed..
Not 20 minutes after I put in my previous review, the owner Eric calls my cell and was cool from the get-go. He made no excuses and offered for me to come in and get taken care of appropriately. I always give a place two chances, so I took him up on the offer.
I ended up with Ashley and she was awesome! I expected a good cut but I got a great one and some extra amenities I hadn't expected! I will be back!
Brian Dodson
Was firstntime here. Walked in and was immediately greeted and offered a beverage while waiting. My stylist came in and got me from the lounge. Bailey is an incredible stylist and her normal fantastic job.i really enjoyed my time there and was very impressed by the professionalism and Cleanliness of the establishment. Will definitely be returning to this place
Mark Rossiter
This was my first time at Scissors & Scotch. It was a great cut and the drinks were good. The extra hot towel treatment was excellent. Very chill place and would go back!!
Michael Imel
Having a beard for many years I was nervous about having someone I didn't know butcher it. Well I must say that didn't happen! From start to finish Bailey was Top Notch! Such a super cool Woman, very professional character. But mixed in a personality that made it personal as well. She asked me what I was looking for in a trim, and she killed it!!! 🤘🙏❤️
Samuel Tufts
Being new to the area, I hadn’t yet found a suitable business to fulfill all my barber-related needs, after all, a good barber is so much more than just a decent haircut at a fair price. I can say with full confidence that my initial experience at Scissors & Scotch was far better than I initially anticipated, not only was my haircut quality second to none, but I also experienced a unique form of customer service, one that was warm, welcoming and relaxing, never once doubting the value of the service.
With a mixture of delicious smelling hot towel facial treatments, hair washes and scalp massages, my initial expectation for a run-of-the-mill haircut was quickly elevated to a spa-like experience. I left Scissors & Scotch highly satisfied, with a fantastic new look, a well-rounded education on the health of my hair and how to better care for it, and above all else, had the opportunity to enjoy a delicious drink, made in-house.
You’ve made a life-time patron of your establishment! I look forward to my next experience at Scissors & Scotch!
J B
Allison rocks. Great cuts and awesome cocktails after you get the ole ears lowered.
Ryan Burlage
My barber shaved my head with a straight razor as well as sculpted my beard. The experience was top-notch, and the products they used did not cause any breakouts on my skin. The bar was fun to hang out at, and the bartender did an amazing job on providing top notch service.
Dayton Elliott
Best place for fresh cut. Jeana did everything just right. + The Bar has excellent drinks. All around perfect experience.
John Rippentrop
First time service and it was great! Emily was very easy to work with and helped me come up with a new way to style my hair. Very helpful and knowledgeable highly recommended.

Professional clean cut! Definitely a great place to go and get a traditional shave done. If you have never tried the hot cold towel treatment. I would recommend.
Jake Jensen
This is one of favorite places in all of Des Moines. My stylist is very friendly and super fun to talk to. Additionally, the bar staff works hard to make quality drinks and to make sure that all clients feel welcome. I highly recommend becoming a member due to all of the additional perks and discounted prices on drinks, products, and haircuts. Whether you're visiting the area or live here currently, I encourage you to stop by for a great experience (but make sure you schedule ahead!!)
Nick Wolfe
I look forward to the next haircut and beard trim! Very professional and great quality cut. I had my haircut and beard shaped. It was incredibly relaxing all around a great experience. Also, they sell really great quality product in there as well.
Ryan Melcher
I really like the feel of the place, bright clean and a bar attached! Liz has cut my hair several times and she does a great job, very close attention to details and asks along the way how I want it. I have done the 10 year: shampoo, scalp massage, steam towel and conditioner and cut. The old fashioned cocktail is a great cap to the haircut.
I would say it is a lot easier to download the app and book that way. The scheduling website is not the most intuitive I have used, no easy option I have seen to just click rebook and skip all the questions. I just want the same thing, pick a date and time- should be easier. I wish they would just build an app with all functions internal, but hey.
Friendly people and a great concept, and Liz is great!
Capjackalaid
Wendy was an amazing stylist!! The atmosphere was fantastic. I will go back whenever I need a haircut.
Brendon Geary
I've been here multiple times over the last year and a half and have appreciated each haircut I've gotten here quite a bit, all of the staff is quite talented.
I have quite curly hair so finding someone who understands how to work with it as when it's cut wet, the result when dry is quite different. By far Lexi is the best I've ever been to. 100% would recommend her.
Also, the bar staff here is great.
John Mcleran
This was my first time at Scissors & Scotch. Drea did an amazing job. She has crazy skills as a barber! I am very impressed by her professionalism and customer service. She gave me a new style and I love it! The atmosphere was great and the other staff I spoke to were very friendly. This is my new barbershop. I highly recommend giving Scissors & Scotch a try. You won’t regret it!
Jeremy Zeschke
I wasn’t sure what to expect when I visited for the first time, shocked to see an entire bar area and beautiful furniture. Mary the bartender was so friendly and amazing. Hair cut and services were great and I will be back.
Juan M. Moya
Great experience. Met a Stylist I knew before and had a great cut, shampoo, and hot towel. My free drink and conversation at the bar was awesome. Glad I scheduled a cut. My first since COVID lockdown.
Brent Goheen
As a first timer wanting to experience a straight razor shave, Emily did a great job explaining the process and gave a very good shave. The smoked old fashioned afterwords was amazing to boot!
Jay Xay
As a first time customer I was taken aback by how well taken care of I felt, and the place and people were so comfortable to work with from l the bar area to check in and then when my hair stylist, Bailey, took care of me she went above and beyond to ensure I was happy.
Will def revisit again and work with her and grab another drink again. The drink was such a nice touch after the cut was done, I felt good afterwards and my hair was on point!
James Thompson
S&S took a mistake made by a rival barber shop and delivered on my desired goals. I had an image I wanted to make work, but brought an alternative for the barber's consideration. Not only did they believe they could make it happen, but that I could be able to style my hair to my goal in under five minutes. After a shampoo, cut, shampoo, and style, the barber walked me through the whole process so I could recreate the look at home. After spending over a decade in the Army with a buzz cut, it was a great experience being able to take my COVID long hair and turn it into the style I've been curious about for years. Five stars, would recommend. The complimentary first time beverage was a nice touch too.
Joshua Bowlin
This is the first, what I would call, "expensive" haircut. Well I can say officially. You get what you pay for. I'm hooked. I will be starting a membership for my next cut and going back. It was an amazing experience and I'm so happy with the results. My stylist listened to what I was looking for, gave her input, and the end result was as perfect as it could be for what I wanted. Would recommend this place for anyone as it is worth the price.
Dustin Nelson
Outstanding experience all the way around! The shave and beard trim were well done, and the drink after was outstanding as well. I will be back!!
Kyle Hogan
Kyy, Mary, Ja’von, and Kylie have all been exceptional bartenders whenever I come in. Amazing drinks, and great conversation. Reid has cut my hair for the last 4 years and I wouldn’t trust anyone else. Everyone there feels like an old friend and everyone there makes me feel like family. Can’t imagine going anywhere else!
Brianna Brawdy
My husband goes here whenever he needs a cut or beard trim. The staff are really nice and work very well with scheduling and doing what he asks for on his beard and hair and he always comes out with a great cut.
Joey Olson
Gina was top notch. Very friendly and welcoming which was very much appreciated. With COVID-19 it’s hard to know what to expect or how people/businesses will react, but things felt “normal” today when getting my hair cut. That was nice!
marcus naples
I'm honestly kind of picky with who cuts my hair but I needed a haircut last minute so I took chance on Bailey and I'm glad I did, she was very personable, down to earth, and did an amazing job, I can tell she takes alot of pride in her work, I will for sure be back and would highly recommend her to others! Also I can't recall her name but the bartender did an amazing job as well! :)
Nick Carballo
My first experience here was amazing. I booked an appointment a couple hours ahead of time on a Saturday, arrived 15 minutes early, had a drink at the bar while I waited (bar and bartender were awesome), and then had the best hair cut experience ever. You pay for it, but it’s definitely worth it!
Damian Houk
Have seen this location and heard about this as an option for guys haircuts for a while, finally took the plunge a few weeks ago and gave them a shot. Glad I checked it out!
First off, LOVE that they have an actual mobile app that lets you SCHEDULE an appointment with a stylist, rather than just a website where you can "check in online" and get either a first available or pick someone.....and then you may or may NOT get seen at that actual time they give you when you get there. Being able to schedule and select the stylist you want is SO much more convenient, even though it was my first time trying it out.
As the name somewhat implies, it's pretty great to be able to get a drink at the attached bar while you wait. And speaking of the name, don't let it fool you into thinking that "scotch" is all they have available. It's a full bar with all of your standard options with a number of cocktails available on their menu.
Finally, the haircut itself was a great experience. My stylist was very personable and informative, providing not only a great cut and style but also helpful tips on different products to try out based on some questions I had.
Tim
Very relaxing and pleasant experience in the lounge as well as in the chair. For being decently new to having long hair and a beard fit for a Midwest winter, Alison was awesome and gave some great advice for maintaining the look I was aiming for. I even walked out the door with some of the same products she used during the haircut.
Sam Davidson
Been getting my haircut here for over two years and Reid always cut my hair exactly how I liked it. Never had a bad haircut. Great selection of alcohol as well while waiting.
Tim Nass
I had a great experience here, great cut, friendly staff, and good drinks. Honestly, if you do a membership breakdown, this place is much cheaper than other barbershops. Plus you can actually schedule appointments so you know you will get in rather than just sitting and hoping, or show up and it be closed unexpectedly. After my first cut I was convinced, try it out, you won't be disappointed.
Jamie Coffman
Scheduled haircuts for both my son and my fiancée son. Easy to get in and awesome haircut! Will definitely go back!
Rachael Plunkett
My husband has been a client here for over 2 years. Ive went in with him a few times and the staff is great! It's definitely a place to just hang out an socialize with others. Super quiet, and chill. Highly recommend checking this out. Also, they give great haircuts!
Alex Brelje
This place is phenomenal just moved to the area and needed a place to go and found this place. Allison there is also by far my favorite stylist she makes me feel welcomed and always knows how to keep me entertained. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great place to get a haircut.
Chris Lekwa
Update: several months later and I still couldn't be happier with my decision to become a member.
This sounds cliche, but I cannot say enough good things about this place. I am a member and it is totally worth it. I always get great service, and employees really get to know you. On top of getting a great haircut, you can have a great cocktail afterward and enjoy some good conversation.
Michael LeVere
Great experience. Clean, friendly. Reid was great to work with. After the first time, she knew exactly how I wanted my hair cut and didn't have to explain it over and over again.
chase king
I am one of those guys that is loosing his hair. And by that I mean I have had a comb over for years that I hate yet cling to because I’m embarrassed about something I have no control over. After a drink and a conversation with the staff we came up with a plan and a few options. The newest look I have does show I’m loosing my hair but it at tastefully done so that I can hold my head high. Thank you for making this an easier transition for me. I know it’s nothing but vanity but your company helped me see there is no shame in the loss. Thanks again.
Takur destiny
I have been getting my haircut here for awhile now. It is always a great experience. You are greeted by a happy and helpful professional everytime. When it is your appointed time to be seen, the person cutting your hair greets you like a friend. They are ver social and can carry on a conversation about almost anything. They also check in after every phase of the cut to make sure it comes out the way you want it.
Alex Landgrebe
Jeana did a fantastic job. Went in needing a fresh hair cut for my wedding and she absolutely crushed it. My pre-cut Gin and Tonic was excellent.
Hunter Ruby
Reid is awesome. She never fails to give a great hair cut, exactly like I want. Not to mention having a drink while you wait. Overall great experience and an even better haircut.
Justin Wilder
Scissors & Scotch is a fantastic barbershop, they take good care of you before, during, and after your haircut. Bailey is awesome, she listens and ensures that you get exactly what you want. Highly recommend!
Brian Thompson
Stopped by for a beard trim so had basic expectations. The lady shaved my neck, trimmed eyebrows and put in beard foam all without asking, plus gave me a nice haircut. Very mainly and had good vibes! Plus was treated to a nice drink for free at the bar afterwards! I will be back!
Allen Houseman
Allison made great conversation and made my hair even better. Second time here and both times have been great experiences.
Jacob Engel
Scissors and Scotch is a great place to get your haircut. Reid does a great job and is always fun to talk to!
Jason Schlutz
Hailey knocked it out of the park again. Same as before She did an excellent and extremely careful job of straight razor’ing my head! Thank-You! You are awesome! Secondly Bailey did a Saweet job straightening up my beard! She was giddy when I gave her free reign to do whatever to my beard. Awesome job ladies!!!
Edward Jackson
It was my first time being in and I learned a lot about beard care, maintenance, and the Irish coffee I had was perfect.
Eugen Burianov
I had a great experience getting a haircut at S&S, awesome service, ambiance, professionalism and quality. You can also enjoy a drink before or after your haircut.
Dustin Adams
I've had a hard time finding a good place to get a haircut since moving to Des Moines. But this is my 2nd visit and I'll continue to give my business to them. Great service, friendly, clean and professional. All around fantastic job!
Pearl White
I don't go there, but my husband does. His beard trip always comes out handsome, and the smell... heavenly. He seems to like it there too. 😁 …
Jacob Lemons
Decided to try something different for a haircut experience and found this place. Emily did an excellent job with the haircut and bartender John made a mean Old Fashioned! Will definitely be coming back 👍 …
Tim C
Allison did a great job with my haircut. Overall the place is clean and professional. The bar area is warm and the bartender friendly.
Tammy Hidlebaugh
I made an appointment for my husband to get his beard trimmed. Emily did an outstanding job and even trimmed up his hair. He loved his new look and will definitely be back!
Corey Williams
Had a really good first experience with Amy. She was energetic and talkative, but extremely efficient. Will definitely be back!
Sarah Odell
It was easy to set up an online appointment for my husbands valentines gift. He enjoyed himself and loved the clean friendly atmosphere. Emily was wonderful!
Thomas Griffin
Alison did a great job for both me and my son. She was skilled and welcoming. I would 100% refer her for kids or adult cuts.
Devin Sly
I go to scissors and scotch in west Des Moines about every month, very nice and professional place, friendly faces and atmosphere every time I visit, and Reid always does a great job with my hair giving me tips on how to style. Would highly recommend!
Joshua Lincoln
Went here for the first time. Bailey took my, rather bad, description of how I wanted my hair and made it look FANTASTIC. Extremely satisfied and will definitely recommend to others.
Caleb Aho
Strap in, this is a good one. I cant say enough about this place! I recently moved to Des Moines, and like any self-respecting man, enjoy a good hair cut. So I was recommended Scissors & Scotch. I went to the West Des Moines location and had not only an INCREDIBLE hair cut from Lexi ( who is now a certified elite stylist, shout out!!) But was greated from the rest of the staff like I was a regular. Their online booking system is GREAT (highly recommend booking online, it's easy and quick). With every appointment you get 1 "free" drink( included in the price). Also they have reduced prices for 1st time customers, which you dont see a whole lot. They're just confident you'll come back once you experience it! Seriously can not recommend this place enough, fare prices, and BOMB hair cuts! I actually liked it so much the past few times I asked for a membership for Christmas, so hopefully I'll be seeing them more!!
Daniel Pettorini
Absolutely loved it. Toni was my stylist and definitely rocked it out.
Larry Lehman
Bailey is an amazing stylist and an amazing person she makes sure her client's are well taken care of and gives amazing feed back on how she thinks she can better your style or what she thinks may look good for you she also is amazing with trimming and shaping beards and she makes sure that your beard lines are crisp and clean and very in line. Thanks Bailey you are awesome
Mijo Martinez (Mijo Martinez)
A little expensive, but you get what you pay for. Always look good when I leave. Ask for Tiana, she's legit.
I had an issue with a haircut and they fixed me up. Customer service- 6 stars
Brandon Petree
This place is amazing! It’s nice, clean, and professional. Everyone is extremely friendly and welcoming. The bar is a great addition if you are early or have a few minutes after to stay. Highly highly recommend.
Justin Cochran
A novel idea. Good excuse to pop in for a drink. Mary did a good job knowing drinks. Irish coffee very similar to his i make it. She's makes a good mile, too. Andrea did a nice job trimming my beard and easy to talk to. Business was clean.
Nathan B
Great haircut. Great deal. If you are worried about your free drink being bottom shelf... Don't! Good service great selection of drinks. I highly recommend making this your place for haircuts.i know I will.
Eric Duhachek
Typically not a fan of larger chains like these but too the chance and did a little research. Lexi was my barber and did a phenomenal job. Looking forward to heading back for another Beard trim and haircut.
Trent Smith
Hailey was wonderful. Skilled and personal. Thank You.
Urban Malones
First visit to Scissors and Scotch. That was a lot of fun, and I think it looks great. I’ve never grown a beard, and I haven’t kept my hair this long in 20 years! A fun Covid experiment, and in My brother’s memory.
Thank you Emily!
Justin Eginoire
Alison was amazing! she answered all of my questions and I will be purchasing a membership!! It was my first time going there and the whole staff was great including the bartender.
Neil Erickson
Alison was great. Solid communication about the cut I wanted and keeping it inline as we went along. Super friendly and personable as well. Request her if you want a solid service.
Joel Kruse
Love my barber shae!!! She is the best in des moines in my opinion. That's the only reason I come here. If she isnt there then I'll stop going. Overall though it's pretty relaxed and you can have a drink while waiting or drink after. Very nice people.
Ted Brimeyer
Friendly, welcoming staff that gave a top tier cut. The bar was nicely appointed with a solid selection of beers and spirits. Will be back for sure.
Erich Thalacker
Loved my haircut
Not a big drinker, but my drink felt classy.
Only reason for not 5 stars was that it was pretty pricy. I feel like it would be a great value to people that enjoy expensive scotch’s/drinks
Logan Patrick
Walked into a very clean and stylish establishment. Enjoyed a nice cocktail in the waiting lounge. Bailey cleaned, cut, and colored my hair and I was very happy with the outcome! Will be back :)
Alex Reif
S&S has a very talented crew of barbers and hairstylists that listen to your requests and take their to time to make sure you are satisfied. Highly recommend them for a clean look before any big event.
shana palmer
Absolutely not what I was expecting. The lounge is really nice and the other clientele seemed to really be enjoying themselves. My son's hair came out great. My husband will be giving it a try next.
Richard Fuller
Hailey was great! She did a great job trimming my beard. I was happy with it, and more importantly, my wife was happy with it. win win!
randall mims
Allison was great! I’ve been there once before and the experience was awesome, this visit was the best and Allison will be my go to from now on! I would definitely recommend stoping in and having a cocktail in the lounge, they have a great selection of libations!!!
Jerome Bukstein
A GREAT first time experience! I mean how can you beat a great haircut and a drink afterward! I did the 15 year and it was worth every penny! Tiana is a great barber and scary awesome with a straight razor. I will be back soon!
Alex Bristow
Been going to the Des Moines location for close to 2 years, only good things to say. If you need to get your hair back to right, go see Reid!
Ty Hansen
This place rocks! Very clean and friendly. Staff are polite and courteous. Aubrey explained everything I needed to know being a first time guest. She also told me about other locations in cities I travel to frequently. I will return, no doubt about it.
Cody Call
Emily did an awesome job and has me looking like a new man! 100% recommend that everyone come try out scissors & scotch!
Gavin Cronin
Wedding was the next day and they squeezed me in to get some trimming done. They were very professional and made me feel relaxed and welcomed. Definitely going back!
Seth Grote
Always a great experience! Thanks for the hospitality! Jeana did a wonderful job listening to what I wanted for a haircut. I already scheduled my appointment for next month!
Randy Malone
I will be the first to say that I normally go bottom dollar on my hair cut. With that said I have a wedding coming up and wanted to look my best. Scissors and Scotch was able to help me decide on a look and execute said look with very little fuss. Staff was nice and what I expected.
Ryan Humble
Amazing experience for my first time. Walked me through the process and was very kind smart and patient. Will go back.
Tyler Smith
Emily was great and very accommodating. She offered her professional opinion but did not push me to make any decisions. Very laid back and cool to be with. I would strongly recommend this establishment and Emily!
Gene Rauch
First time visit for a gentleman’s cut and straight razor shave with hot towels. Felt like a million bucks afterwards! Celebrated new look with a complimentary drink in their bar area. Amazing experience! Can’t wait to go back.
Brian Lee
I really enjoy this place. Drea is the best. She always does a fantastic job with my hair. The bar/lounge area is really nice and you'll get pretty damn good old fashioned. Do yourself a favor and book an appointment.
Alex Steimel
I'm happy with the cut, and I like their set up. Much nicer than the vast majority of places I've gone for haircuts.
Benjamin Brumm
Great place everyone was very nice, the car is awesome. Shawn did an amazing job, he’s cut my hair for years now and with him making the move I’d say he’s the best barber in Des Moines!! I would recommend the shop to any one
Ric Neil
I came in with an odd request of a couple braids in my beard. I've been to 2 other shops (and my wife) with this request. They wouldn't even try. Lexi was about as excited to do this as I was to finally get this done(been trying for at least 8 months). Lexi even had little hair ties and put in the beads I had brought! Thank you very much Lexi!!!
Vincenzo D'Azzo
Fun atmosphere, great drinks! Very relaxing time while waiting for the Hair Stylist. Easy to make appointments online. Definitely want to go back again!
Brad Freeman
Lexi was absolutely amazing. Super fun and easy to talk to! She snapped my quarantine angry Amish beard into a young Conor Mcgregor style. Ready to snap back the world with a heavy left hand. My boy Malik, the bartender is always solid and we go way back. Super awesome to always catch back up with him. He knows how to make my Cedar Ridge on the rocks with a splash of ginger ale to perfection. It’s always super clean and the atmosphere is to a “T”. My girlfriend likes her “self-care sundays” while I go with the boys for our whiskeys n cuts. I’m bald cut so a beard trim is what I really go for! The Holland beard product is straight fire. Smells good, moisturizes, styles nice... highly recommend. Anywho, go see Lexi, she’s the best!
Jon Harcey
I received great service and walked out with a great haircut. Yes, this is more expensive than the cheap walk in places, but you get a whole lot more here. Also, they have am app that you can make appointments from. No more hour wait sitting in uncomfortable chairs for me!
Michael VonWald
Stopped in for about my third or fourth time and Scissors and Scotch always get it right! Great staff, great fades (as well as other haircuts), and it’s always nice to get a drink after at their attached bar. Will be back for sure!
J S
They've been uping their prices and now you have to tip the barber and the bar tender for your free drink... total haircut is close to $50 now. The haircut is pretty average, not super particular to detail, which is acceptable for most men's haircuts, but it's not $50 worth of service
Mike Oxlong
The level of service made my visit worth every penny. I am excited to go back. These ladies have a way of turning a an experience into a feeling. What a wonderful way to treat yourself.
Noah Kemp
My Husband went in for the first time ever to get his beard trimmed and shaped. He came out looking amazing and his barber gave him alot of tips and tricks aswell as was very accommodating to certain needs.
Armando Alberto Carrillo Rodriguez
Wendy is super great! Great service overall
Trent Lilly (Diesel X Gaming)
I walked in without a reservation. They where able to sneak me in for a beard trim and while I waited, enjoyed a complementary drink from the bar. Great experience. Very happy with the trim!
Daniel Fink
Never really offered a beverage. When I arrived, I was told to sit down and wait by the female bartender after which she went back to watching TV on the big screen. Very odd.
Shaun Eilander
Antionette did an amazing job! She is a fairly new employee based on our conversation and she was professional, outgoing, and did a fantastic job with my hair! Definitely will be coming back! 🙌🏼 …
Ryan Thompson
Went in for a "First Time" cut and had a great time. All the staff were interactive and respectful. It's a very well run business. The haircut looks and feel great too.
Craig Weitzenkamp
One of the best men's barber shops in the Des Moines area. The girls here treat you great and make you feel at home. I've never left disappointed in my haircut. 5 stars for me!
Tyler Davis
Emily was very knowledgeable in barber services and made great suggestions to get the best out of my haircut. It was very clear that cutting hair is an art, and that she takes pride in her work.
Haley Mason
I bought my husband a package for Valentine's Day and he can't stop talking about how wonderful the experience was! So clean and everyone was friendly. He will definitely be coming back soon.
Aaron Anderson
Scissor and Scotch is a place to relax and get your hair/facial hair trimmed by a wonderful staff. What could be better than finishing off your hair cut experience with a drink from their bar? Nothing.
Amanda Short
We were so sad when Bailey left the other men's barber shop in town...glad we found her again! She is the best and I trust her with his hair and beard! :)
Anthony M
Lexi does an amazing job with my hair. From regular professional cuts to wild and fun, I'm always satisfied. And the complimentary whiskey is just the cherry on top.
Kurt Ludwig
I know this is a haircut place but honestly I have to give the bar AND bartenders a 5. Best old fashioned in des moines area, but mostly great convos every single time I get a haircut. Wish I would have thought of this men's haircut/ultimate bar experience idea.
Nancy Richer
I was in time for my appointment, but still had to wait close to 10 minutes, even though bit did not seem very busy. The service itself was great.
Wil Whitten
Very good experience. Hailey is the best.
Mick Dougherty
This was my first visit and I couldn’t be happier with the quality of the haircut and beard sculpt the staff was amazing and very well informed as to all of my needs!
Steven Harrington
They are very friendly and can do any type of haircut. Went out of they’re way to give me a discount because they was a little bit of a wait, which I totally understood because it was they’re first day reopening. Even after trying to refuse the discount they still gave it to me. This is my go to place now.
Spencer Smith
First haircut in 5 years. Hailey was awesome both as stylist and barber. Will definitely come back
Evan Ferneau
The staff is great. The stylists are friendly and good at what they do. The bar lounge is open before or after your cut. What more can you ask for?
Kylon Schmitt
Emily has the hands of a surgeon. I am very pleased with her service and the ambiance is very comfortable. She is a true artist.
A. Cosentino
Had the most amazing straight razor shave
Keagan Henson
Shae was outstanding. It is always great to feel the care and concern someone has for their client. Shae listened to my needs and her attention to detail gave me confidence she wasn’t going to mess up my little hair that I have.
Shae, you rocked it!
Sincerely,
Keagan
The guy who is balding, but growing it back with iRestore. #hopeful

This has been my favorite place to get a haircut for the last two years! The environment is a great setting to relax and end up leaving refreshed with a well cut head of hair!
Donald Tweedt
Mikey was great. Gave great advise on hair care. Switched up my cut from something I’d been doing for years. Best cut I’ve had in many years.
Aaron McClure
Great atmosphere, multiple options to choose from. Never had a bad haircut, had tried 7-7 place before coming to S&S, but now won’t go anywhere else.
Mike McBride
Bailey did a great job on my haircut, the first one I've had since the before times and I can't recommend her enough.
Marc Wampler
Was sick of inconsistent haircuts across the metro - Scissors and Scotch has absolute nailed my cut each and every time. Also love the drink with a cut!
Jonathan Golly
Every time I leave Scissors and Scotch I feel like a Made Man. Staff is ways friendly and I am gifted a professional experience!

Emily is a great barber and took great care of me along with the rest of the staff. A great haircut in a classy yet comfortable atmosphere.
Alex Hage
Absolutely great experience. Professional staff with great environment. Have and will continue to use and recommend to friends and family.
Geoff Miller
Cool concept of great stylist and a men's lounge to hang out before or after. Weird to say but this place consistently serves the best Old Fashioned in town.
Cory Hanson
Emily has been friendly, professional, and does a great job! I finally did the math and signed up for a membership!
jim weaver
The entire experience was completely enjoyable from the hair cut to the hand treatment ….love the 25 year..Shea was awesome and my drink topped it off perfectly.I will definitely be back
Luke Nelson
This is one of the best places to get a hair cut, beard trim, and an Old Fashion drink!
Michael Yates
Jasmine did a wonderful job with my haircut. Very friendly! Made the experience that much more relaxing and enjoyable.
Michael Gonzalez
Best place to get my haircut. I recommend Hannah Saltzman as a stylist. She knows how to cut hair and interact with her clients. The shop itself looks really good. Would recommend this place.
Dane Larsen
I like this place because I can always count on a great haircut and the stylist are easy going and easy to talk to. A little more spendy, but piece of mind knowing its always a good cut.
Colin Opay
Had a great experience. Highly recommend if you don't mind spending a little bit more money
Andrew DeCorse
I love the way I was treated and I am very impressed with the quality of my haircut. Ja'von is a great bartender and a cool person to converse with.
Manny Gambarrotti
This place is dope! Best haircut ever! The bar is a super cool place to hang out at and have a drink. My barber Drea is the best barber I've ever had!
Andy Erickson
Great place to get your hair cut and a nice cocktail too. Only weird thing is the main door is walking into the hair stations and it feel like you came in the wrong door.
Grown Men Cooking
Booked a beard trim with Reid who I have seen in the past. Always a great experience and I always leave satisfied with a great looking beard!
Casey B. Head
Great stylists and a comfortable environment. If you want to treat yourself to a high-end grooming experience in Des Moines, this is the place to do it.
Daniel Scheetz
Great experience. In and out no fuss. will definitely come back again.

They do an amazing job of making you feel right at home! A bit pricey, sure, but you're paying for quality work and a great experience all around.

Malik served me a drink and was very friendly. Alison was very nice and gave a great haircut. Will definitely be back.
Brian Hunt
Great concept. Very professional and organized staff. Great haircut to!
Matt Ringgenberg
Cool concept and even better experience. Have a nice cold drink, play some pool, or at the bar/couches while you wait. Plus, this is one of the only places around that I know that does a hot towel and straight edge razor shave. Must try!
Brian Parrish
Had a decent haircut and the bartender made up a really good Irish coffee using the on tap cold brew coffee
Ernie Reyes
I came back on my second visit and I loved it Drea made me feel comfortable she kept her mask on and followed all rules for this virus
Chad Hon
Place was great, first time there and loved it. Gave me a great haircut and love having a beer while I waited to get my cut ☺️.
Alexander MS Ó Cearbhaill II
Everyone is super friendly, bar has a great selection. After you check in you go to a private room for your cut and the extras you order. It was wonderful.
Bob McDuffee
Great place to get a haircut and relax. Very friendly staff, who don't rush you during the process. Reasonable prices for the quality of services and products.

Second to know Neely I believe was my stylest very sweet and from my area of iowa which made conversation great. Best place in Iowa for a hair cut hands down
Matthew Mikkelsen
Never thought I would pay this much for a haircut.. but as an adult it is worth it!
Jonny B
Not sure where else you can get this type of service and environment. Think private golf club membership. Employees know you by name and know your drink of choice before you even ask for it.
Jeff Hefler
So far I have seen Alison and Andrea. Both were awesome. Always leave feeling confident & happy!
Shane Ort
From the free drink in the bar area through the end of the haircut from Liz, the experience at Scissors & Scotch in West Des Moines was great.
Gabe Lanz
If you get a good barber it can be great, but there's a lot of inconsistency in quality between the different barbers, which is unfortunate if you don't have the ability to schedule with the same person every time like myself.

Great place, professional all around. Great selection of drinks. Will go back.
