Reviews of Avenue Barber Shop

Brandon Spoolstra

I've been coming here for a few years and received a variety of haircuts and they are always stellar. The staff is skilled and thorough (shout out to Josh for being creative and doing amazing line work on my sides). The prices are good and the cuts are amazing!

Brendan Espinola

Absolutely love this place! Great environment and Amazing Staff! This was my second time visiting, and I had some free time, so I got a haircut with the apprentice Mnasse. He’s an amazing guy and took his time to get the cut looking amazing. If you have an hour to spare, book him, and don’t be afraid to spark a conversation, wonderful experience!

Juan Rincones

Joshua gives one of the best cuts in GR. I literally recommend this place to all my friends and people in search of a good barber shop.

Andrew Izzo

Chris at Avenue Barber Shop is an expert. Precise, meticulous and gives a great haircut every time. I have been looking for a solid barber in Grand Rapids for a few years now, and have found my go to spot. Highly recommend, visitors and locals alike. Walk-ins, cash or credit.

Ivan Flores

The whole experience was easy! I booked my first appointment on their website and booked with who ever was available and it ended up being Sammie B. She did a great job and was attentive to how I wanted it cut! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a new barber 💈 Also everyone there is super nice! …

Hugh Williams

My first time here. Late day appointment. All the barbers are on time! Chris cut like I had been his customer for years! He finished the edges with shaving cream and straight razor. They are all busy because everyone knows these folks are that good. Make your appointment online far in advance.

Joe Roy II

I have had a pleasant experience so far in my two visits. I have had a straight razor shave both on my face and head, and it is a great start to my weekend!

Jay In the hood

I visited grand rapids and this was a great place to get a haircut very professional and they dona great job I was very happy with my cut thank you Avenue guys

S. Charles Davenport

I book a haircut appointment with Chris. Fantastic barber. The shop itself is clean and has that old school look to it. I drove 40 minutes just to get my hair cut and I was not disappointed one bit! I look forward to coming back again for another cut someday soon.

Gregory Fritz

Chris and his crew are excellent. Super down to earth, easy to chat with. They have become one of my reliable barbers in town for a great cut.

Andy Lendzion

I’ve been going to Avenue Barber shop for almost two years now. I go to Josh and he’s the best barber I’ve ever had. However, at some point I’ve had my haircut by each barber. They are all outstanding. They are as reliable as they come. Great haircut every time.

Bendgar

Great barbers here. Moved to GR in January of 2020, and was worried I may not find a barber shop on par with the places in my old city. Tried several other barbers before going to Avenue. Have not been anywhere else since, and won't let anyone cut my hair besides Alex. He's a pro, and a really nice dude.

Bo Stuck

I moved to GR just a bit before Avenue Barber Shop opened, and tried a few other shops before going there, and I haven't gone anywhere else since! Everything is very straightforward and efficient, but I never feel like they are rushing. It was just Chris when I started going there, and it has been awesome to see the new barbers set up shop and get to know them too. I could get a great haircut from any of them. Everyone is super nice and personable, and it feels just like a cool barber shop from a movie or something. I can't recommend this place enough for anyone looking for a barber shop.

Alex Thibodeau

Alex Dominguez is an incredibly talented Barber who has consistently outperformed any other Barber I've ever used. My cuts are always fresh and he uses classic techniques and tools with expert-level skill (straight razor hot cream shave, doublefoil shaver,, long shears). The entire experience transports you back to the barbershop experience of yesteryear where conversation is simple, the service is impeccable and the details are seamless. I recommend Avenue (and Alex) to anyone who will listen.

Zach Parks

Nice old school barber decor, and the barbers are very friendly and cool

jordan tuinstra

I love this place it's so neat, it's just like an older style barber shop. The owner Chris, and his side kicks do a great job! I would recommend Avenue barbershop to any one in town looking to get their haircut... Only down side is if you get there in the later hours of the day you have to sit and wait your turn.

Jared Bielecki

Had my first ever professional beard trim. My beard has looked bushy and unkempt for a long time. I was a little nervous as I didn't know what to expect. Alex did an amazing job. He helped me understand how to keep my beard looking good and was super friendly and kind. I will be back.

Jesse Tackett

These guys are the best barbers in town, and I have tried a TON in the grand rapids area over the years. Been going to Avenue since they opened in 2017 and Chris and Josh are absolutely the best! They can do any kind of cut you want and always do a great job. Super friendly and welcoming. Pro tip: get there early (10:50am) if you want to beat the wait.

Jack Camenga

If you are looking for an authentic barber shop experience in Grand Rapids, this is the place for you. Chris and Josh are both very knowledgeable, friendly, and experienced barbers. You can walk in, but unless you have time to hang out for a bit I would recommend booking ahead on their website. They always do a great job, I have never been disappointed by their work. I recommend this place to all of my friends and co-workers and they all love it, too. Prices are great, too. I used to pay more at a salon, but now I come here, pay less, and look better. Definitely stop in and try them out!

Zachery Palmer

Chris did an amazing job!! Best authentic shave in town. Also did a trim on my beard for $23. Best price in town for a shave as well when other places will charge you $30 plus. Chris is the man and will take great care of your cut. One of the best barbers in town in my opinion. Shop was very nice and clean as well with a great look that any man will love.

Charlie H

Josh was amazing! The attention to detail on my husband's cut and razor shave was superb. My husband has course natural curly hair and he handled it with ease and made him feel comfortable. Josh and Chris were also really nice to me, as I was there waiting for my husband. Great service and expertise. They made a new loyal customer for sure.

Nick Moran

Absolutely awesome first trip with Alex as my barber. I had been looking for a barber for a while and Alex is going to be my guy. I didn't give him tons of direction but he really cleaned me up well. He's awesome with a straight razor and handled the COVID stuff in a great way. Well worth the trip.

Adrien Laurent

I’m a trans guy. I came in today for a haircut. I’ve had bad experiences with barbers and salons in the past that wouldn’t listen to what I wanted. I was treated like any other guy there. I was given a proper trim and not a pixie cut. Staff was super friendly and the prices are great. A bit of a wait, but that is expected on a Saturday afternoon. And I love the vintage vibe of the shop.

Matt Siel

Best barber shop ever! If you want that old school feel right downtown with a some true professionals that pay attention to ever detail, ask for Alex or Chris. Once you go Avenue, there’s no going back!

Matthias Struble

The shop has an awesome interior - clean, neat, and great vibe. The wait wasn't long at all and the price was amazing! Chris was quick, proficient, and professional, and I've never had a better cut (bald fade on sides with neat trim on top). I lived in Grand Rapids for years and I've spent hours at other shops and spent twice as much for lesser quality cuts. Overall great atmosphere and service. I would recommend this shop to anyone looking for high quality cuts/shaves for a phenomenal price. Cool owners and cool neighborhood.

Demitri Fuller

Avenue Barber Shop is the best place to get a great hair cut period. It is an awesome environment and unlike the chains Chris takes his time to make sure your cut is perfect. The customer service is amazing and I can't wait to see this shop take over Grand Rapids! 10/10 would recommend Chris and Avenue Barber Shop to anyone who wants the best barber experience!

Ben DiPiazza

Best cut I've ever had! The atmosphere is very vintage and cool. The prices are not bad at all for the quality of the cut! Chris is the best barber I have ever had. He is a great conversationalist. Highly recommend going here!

Xavier Glass (approXblue)

Some of the best cuts I’ve ever had were here with Chris! All of the guys make you feel welcome when you come in, and get to know you when you’re in the chair. Wait times can be really long (expected for a small shop with a few barbers), so booking an appointment online is a good way to get in on schedule.

Tyler Tran

Chris was absolutely amazing. Unlike other barbers, he actually listens to what you want and captures your image/vision. He takes his time and spends time to get to know you as well. He fixed me hair from a previous horrible haircut I got somewhere else and gave me probably one of the best fades I’ve had in years (and I have Asian hair which is not easy to cut). Would definitely recommend! He is clearly a hard worker and has a passion for what he does. The shop itself was very clean and has an awesome vibe to it. One of the best in GR! Will be back!

Dylan

We are friends of Chris and his family from church, so I made a point to visit Avenue on their opening day. They've done a great job renovating the venue, and most importantly the haircut was great too! We've been especially impressed with Chris's wide-ranging skills: not only ranging from bikers to business people, Chris also has worked wonderfully with our six year-old son. No TV, toys, or gimmicks necessary. Highly recommended.

Belteshazzar Mouse

Chris, Josh and Alex are all top notch barbers. They converted me from cutting my own hair. Get the style you ask for. Reasonable prices for exceptional service. Very clean shop and great conversation.

Patrick Weisgerber

I used to get my hair cut at the smaller chains like Fantastic Sam's and Jude's. I don't think I'll be doing that again! Avenue is great! The most gentle AND detailed haircut I've ever had.

B R

First visit on a busy Saturday, and I'm a little embarrassed to admit I didn't write my name on the board while waiting for service. Fortunately Chris noticed and got me on the board. The wait was well worth it. I noticed how much detail work and attention was given to each guest. When it was time for my cut Chris didn't disappoint. I walked out with the cleanest haircut I've gotten in years, and well worth the wait.

Jake Stuck

Awesome, personable guy. Some places treat you like a number, but he takes his time, really gets to know you and talk to you, and always does a fantastic job. From the hand painted sign on the glass when you walk in, to the carefully curated furniture and edgy magazines, he nailed every detail when creating the look and feel of a comfortable, yet modern barber shop. My search is over and I think I have finally satisfied that manly inner desire to have a barber one could become long-term friends with.

Alex VanRavenswaay

If you're looking for a fresh haircut at a great price Avenue is the place for you .Ive had my haircut at most barbershops in town and Chris can't be beat. Chris is a standup dude, great at what he does, and the shop itself has its own unique feel thats definitely worth checking out. 10/10 recommend

Jose Castro

This barber shop has an old fashion feel, with a modern twist. I highly recommend it! No appointments. All walk-ins. Meter street parking only. Be prepared to wait, but it's worth it. Chris is very skilled. I got a bald-fade haircut and beard trim for a reasonable price.

Kurtis Nestle

Love that new scheduling system the guys are using. Best barber shop I’ve been able to find in the area. I haven’t had my haircut since Covid. Can not wait to get in there!

Jared Coreau

Avenue Barber Shop is a great spot to go and get your hair cut or even just a quick beard trim. Chris has created a classic barber shop atmosphere, while also adding a touch of modernism. Top notch service and delightful experience.

Carissa M

These guys are artists, not just barbers! I have never seen anyone leave here with a bad haircut! They take their time and pay attention to every detail, so be prepared to wait. They’re very friendly and I will be back with my business! I would, and will recommend to everyone.

Nathan Huizenga

I've been looking for a good barbershop the last year and finally found a place! Chris does a great job and makes sure the cut is done right. Really convenient location, awesome vintage barbershop feel, and good pricing.

Jared Bradford

Chris is a great guy. Not only does he do exeptional haircuts, he engages in conversation as well. He takes the time to listen to what you want. I would highly recommend giving this dope dude a try! He has cut my hair for over a year now.

Raleigh Chadderdon

Chris is a perfectionist in the best way, excellent chop, quick, and of course friendly and laid back. Killer fade. Shop is clean and welcoming - basically wanted to hang out there after the cut and just chill. Great pricing - you could easily pay a lot more for a lot less around town.

Brian Bunker

I went on a Saturday and it was real busy but worth the wait. These guys take cutting hair seriously. Their attention to detail is amazing and everyone in the shop was really friendly. Will definitely be going back in the future. Be sure to bring coins for parking.

Dylan Bender

I will never get my haircut anywhere else! If you’re looking for a good barber shop searching google like I was...look no further. Chill professional atmosphere and they do great work! Super happy.

Vicente James

Real Talk: I've been looking for this kind of expertise from Holland,Kalamazoo and GR. Finally found it!!! You tell them or show them what you want and voila. Everything is on point. This is not a burn and turn barbershop. Each person is a canvas and they're artists. Patiently wait your turn. My first go was a 2 hour wait and I will never regret it. These dudes are good... However, I found it helpful to ask them when their slow times were to thin the crowd out for them and looking attractive faster. ; )

Rob Frost

My new favorite spot in the Grand Rapids area. Wait times are a little longer than most spots, but it’s because they care about every single cut. The wait is worth it anyways. Highly recommend giving them a shot, happy to see them grow recently with the addition of a third barber.

Zac Dvorak

Last barber shop you'll ever need to go to. I have been absolutely thrilled each cut I have gotten here. You'll walk out feeling like a million bucks.

Derek Atkins

I’ve been searching for a go-to barber in GR for years. Chris has become that guy for me. Great cuts, great talk, love the vibes and the fades. He pours his heart into his shop and it shows. Support local trades and come down to South Division for a cut! Can’t wait to bring my boy when he gets old enough.

Sean Zubrickas

Always a good time getting a cut by Chris. It's a cool space, and you feel comfortable like you're just hanging out with an old buddy, not some chain where it feels like they are forced to talk to you. Great pricing and quick. Highly recommend!

Nabil El Jaouhari

Great place, really nice guys that know how to make you look good...no bells and whistles just good old barber shop. They take card, if you don't have cash on you. The wait can be long, but you can put your name on the chalk board and head out, and come back later.

Jon Friedman

Get an appointment. I went their my first time and was a walk in. I waited a while, it I knew what I was getting into. Got my haircut and beard trim from Chris and I’m pleased at the outcome. So many times at other chain places they have messed up. Thanks for a great haircut.

Nathan Bahling

Probably the coolest Barber Shop I have been to. I was able to experience a clean and thorough haircut all the while enjoying an old school style atmosphore. I would recommend to anyone looking for a new place to get a great cut.

Keegan M. Brennan

I recieved a great modern haircut (pompadour\taper) and beard trim in about 20 minutes. Friendly service, detailed cut, very cool shop. I would highly recommend stopping in if you’re local or just passing through like myself.

lloydino25

First time visiting the shop and I got a great fade! Josh was my barber and took his time and delivered. No lines just an even clean fade. Normal wait time for a good barber shop.

Isaac

All three barbers are top notch and good people. The waits can vary, but check out the Instagram/Facebook to see the walk-in and reservation schedule to see what'll suit you best. Cuts, shaves, and beards, they do it all. If you're a walk-in and there's a wait, don't forget to write your name on the chalkboard.

Matthew Schermer

I was in yesterday for a badly need haircut and Chris did an amazing job. It was definitely a big step up from any of the chains out there and the price was about the same as well. I will be back for my next cut.

Matthew Slomski

I can't speak highly enough of Chris's ability, knowledge, and professional demeanor. I've gotten my hair cut a lot of places, and am happy to say that Avenue Barber Shop will be the only place I'm going from now on.

Joshua Carlson

Ive gone here the last year and a half while I have been in college. Im from northern Michigan and I drive the three hours just for these guys to give me a good, affordable cut. Best spot in GR.

Dale “Dole” Essenberg

Great company. Excellent haircut and straight razor shave. Josh was amazing, wonderful attention to detail on both services. Highly recommend Avenue Barber Shop.

Megan LeMieux

Avenue Barber Shop is a neat spot with a great location in the Heartside. Chris did an amazing job with my preschoolers hair, and was calm and patient with his squirminess. I'd recommend Avenue Barber Shop and Chris to everybody!

Tito Suarez

Josh is simply the best barber in Grand Rapids. Great atmosphere as well.

Nathan Rijfkogel

Very cool place, gives a great haircut for a great price. The barber is really friendly and open to whatever cut you’re looking for. Highly recommended!

Derek Favaro

Chris has cut my hair and beard more times than I can count. Whether I stick with the same cut or decide to change it up, he adapts and blows it out of the water. Great cut, great shop!

Gregg Hampshire

The best haircut in town in a walkable, historic part of Grand Rapids. Help support a locally owned barbershop in downtown GR. Only $18 to look your best.

Adam Veneklase

Just got my hair cut there. Fantastic. Great downtown GR location. It's clean, sensible, reliable, with a healthy dose of punk rock undertones. Check it out. Chris rocks!

Keith Gore

When do you gentlemen foresee yourselves opening? I’m looking like grizzly Adams and decided against cutting my own hair. I should be set for the sickest mullet by then. If it weren’t for that bitc* carol baskins I’d be fine right now. I know she had something to do with this.

Louis Marzorati

Great atmosphere, even better haircut. Chris knows what he's doing, and he does it well. 100% recommend this barbershop!

Wyatt Carden

One of the best barber shops in the city that I have experienced. Incredibly talented guy with a really unique shop and gives an awesome haircut.

John Hicks

Got my haircut here today. $23 for a razor fade and a beard trim. It turned out perfectly and I couldn't be happier with it. I highly recommend getting your hair cut here.

Zach Peters

New to the area and found this place. Haven’t been anywhere else since. Cuts are thorough and custom yet efficient. Josh and Alex do a great job. 5 stars for Avenue

Konner Sieffert

Best haircuts in town. Friendly atmosphere. Only wish they weren't so busy, but that goes to show how good they are.
