Reviews of Be U Barber Shop and salon

John

Very affordable and professional haircuts. Phil does a great job for me every time

Michael Kezley

Got me in last minute and did an excellent job. I feel like I have a difficult cut and she did it quick and well. Cost less than the average barber too! Highly recommend

Finale Records

This was probably one of the best haircuts I've had in a long time. I was in and out the door in about 20 minutes, but the quality of the cut is like something I have paid $30-40 for. The barber shop is very clean. They also have an online system for making an appointment, which was very easy to use.

Alex

The low price made me nervous at first, but I was pleasantly surprised. Affordability + skill, what more can you ask for

Jake Bartz

This is my favorite place to get a cut in MKE. Phil does a great job every time I see him. Staff is extremely friendly. The cost is so reasonable as well! Their standard priced cut is the same quality as a $40 cut somewhere else. I'd recommend them to anyone looking for a haircut in Milwaukee.

Hunter

Been coming here for over a year, twice a month. Keesha is the best barber I've ever had and the price to quality is crazy.

Johnny O

Wonderful barbershop. Been going to Keesha and Phil for years now - skilled, ultra affordable, always pleasant.

Darrell Williams

The owners are very warm and inviting. The atmosphere is very welcoming and the conversation is always up building and encouraging. Not to mention, there prices are very reasonable. I Love this Salon. DW

Hip Hop Classics Daily

Best barbershop around! Great people, great prices, and great quality cuts. Both Phil and Keesha will definitely exceed your expectations, and you will without a doubt leave feeling better than you did before coming in.

Alex Kostal

Phil has been cutting my hair since I was 16 (13 years ago) and is truly a master barber. The blend of skill, charm, and ridiculously low prices is unmatched not just in MKE’s barber scene, but probably amongst any service sector in the city. I consistently get compliments on my cuts, and always refer people to Be U. People are floored when they find out how reasonable the prices are. I can’t recommend enough!

Don Dexter

1st and only place that's given me the style I asked for. Super friendly and way under priced

Eric Greve

Terrific place in Milwaukee for a haircut! The owners, Phil and Keisha, are both friendly and do a great job. I have been going here for years and recommend to call or text ahead to schedule an appointment. $12 for a haircut is a great deal, plus a generous tip! The price and service beats any other place around.

Kramer

Have been going to Be U for a little over four years now and look forward to it every time! Phil and Keesha are both amazing at what they do, and the price to quality ratio simply can't be beat. I would highly recommend anyone looking for a haircut in MKE to put Be U at the top of their list!

Dylan Mitchell

I've been coming here for the past 4 years and even though I no longer live on the East Side, I still drive across town to get my haircut here. Phil and Keisha are so personable and I still wonder how they remember everyone who keeps coming back. I've never had anyone else cut my hair with such attentiveness and precision like these two can. They run a great family business and I'm shocked the price for a men's cut hasn't risen above $10 since I first discovered them!

Andrew Meyer

I take my 9 year old here for his haircuts bc they are the quickest, efficient, and affordable. No nonsense. he hates haircuts, and they get the job done. Very friendly, skilled couple running this business. Support local black owned businesses.. this is a good one.

Mason Brietzke

As a college student, I always go to Be U Salon for the great prices, welcoming company and of course, their proficiency in cutting hair. I usually have Phil cut my hair, but his wife seems equally fantastic. I strongly recommend this barber shop to anyone in the area.

Caleb Grunzke

I just moved to Milwaukee and was nervous about finding someone to cut my hair. I had always had a person I regularly went to back home and was not looking forward to searching for someone else. After looking up some places on Google, I saw that Be U had very good reviews and was close to my place. I decided to try them out and was very happy with the result. Phil does an amazing job! He takes his time and listens to what you want. He also gave me some tips to improve my hair. A great haircut for $10!

Amin Zarandi

Philip and his wife are awesome. They cut your hair in a nice way with reasonable price

Amaya Varela

This is a great location for college students on a budget who may just need a trim/clean up. Location is very close to campus. The price has changed from $10 for women's cut to $12 but I think this is a fair and standard price. Way cheaper than the expensive salons around the East side. The couple who own the shop are always friendly and the little ones are never a bother when they are at the shop.

Michael Sippy

Very good place to go. Extremely cheap price for a hair cut, $12. Phil knows what he's doing and can take care of you no matter what style you want. I recommend calling or texting so you don't have to wait around for the people that called or texted their spots to get their hair cut.

M S

I called last minute and they were able to fit me in. The lady who cut my hair did a great job. She was able understand the hairstyle from a single picture. When she was cutting you could feel she knew what she was doing with the comb, razor and scissors. The lines could be a bit more even/ symmetrical on both sides. As well, I would have like her to do a double check around the edges. But, for a spare of the moment cut lasting around 30 mins max and only costing ten freaking dollars. I think this place is awesome. Also she and family were really nice and professional.

Tanner Nimke

As a student at UWM, I was looking for a place close by for a haircut. The reviews here seemed positive, so I went. I was not disappointed. Phil cut my hair and made sure it looked good throughout my visit. He also asked me how I was going to style my hair and took that into account. I will definitely be going there again. For $10, this place is the place to go.

Peterson Hang

I've been walking passed this barber shop for a long time while I was a student at UW-Milwaukee. I finally decided to go in and if you do a walk-in, just fill out your name on a time slot at the clipboard near their register. The man is very nice. He talks to you in a respectful manner and also offered me a touch up for free if I come back if a part of my hair didn't work out as I thought. There is also a woman who I saw working there as well but she wasn't there when I came into my appointment. Would definitely go again and the price is very affordable. They offer other hair services as well.

Shahed Zaman

Very friendly and professional environment. Never had a haircut that I did not like! Pretty cheap as well, so perfect for a student.

Isabel Castro

It was my first time going, and they were able to get me in right away! I love my haircut and it came out exactly how I wanted! Definitely recommend! They give great haircuts at good prices!

Jon Schuster

The best in Milwaukee when it comes to quality and price. There are only two barbers, Phil and Keisha (sorry if I spelled your name wrong), who are both awesome. You don't have to pray for a good stylist like at a chain shop. You can walk-in knowing you will be taken care of. You can tell they care about your hair. They take their time, and are very friendly. The Price has been $10 for the last 4 years I've been going there, which is absurdly cheap for the ability to have your barber be your friend. Don't hesitate, just go!

Zaphod Beeblebrox

They're great. Fantastic barbers for an unbelievable price. I've been coming here for about a year now. They also take every precaution for your safety during this pandemic.

BeeJay Thao

This is such an amazing barbershop. They’re good people. They charge $10 for a haircut which is amazing. Sometimes, I don’t get a full haircut, just a fade on the side and nothing off the top, and they don’t charge me the full $10. This will be my place for haircuts for a long time!

Quinton Kammerer

Keesha and Phil are run a very profession, clean, and well organized operation. If you are looking for quality fade or a trim, look no further!

Brandon Boyd

Phil has been my go-to guy for the past 4 years. Such an amazing haircut, and person

Barry Kehoe

Keesha and Phil are great. Very fair pricing and they do an excellent job. Their new location a few blocks away is really nice. Highly recommended.

Steven Landgraf

Both Phil and Kesha are real friendly and do a great job every time I came in for a simple men's hair cut. Only $10. They recently re-did the interior of the place, so it looks new and fresh. I went there every month when I lived in Milwaukee for a year. Also, they're across the street from Otto's liquor store, so you can knock two trips out in one!

Tuccis 49

Phil and family are the best .Great hair cuts and a fair price. Been going there for over 5 yrs . Would not go any were else. And love the kids.

Chris B

I had to find a new barber, and had Be U recommended. Always a bit nervous going to a new barber, but I was extremely happy with my haircut. Exactly what I wanted, at a fantastic price, near where I live as well. I will definitely be a regular customer.

Thom Meredith

Have been going here for several years now. Happy from the first haircut, both Phil and Keisha and great people and know what they are doing. Kids are super fun, prices are great, overall this is a very lucky place to find.

Anik Iqbal

Only went there once. It’s family-owned; the husband cut my hair, the wife cut my wife’s. We both were satisfied with both the cut and the promptness. Also the cheapest place I’ve seen ($10 for regular cut). But you should call ahead to schedule.

Jon

I have been coming to Be U Salon and Varber Shop exclusively for years now. Keisha does an amazing job and so does phil. The location is confortable and they make an incredible effort to make you feel welcome. 10/10. The haircut is only 10 dollars too. If i was charged 20 I would still go here.

Pamela North

Excellent service, very nice cut and super sweet family. Don’t waste your time negotiating prices in some fancy hair salon when the talent is right here. Pay less and leave a big tip for the kids’ college education :). Thank you!

Jonathon Dahl

I have been going to see Phil and Keisha for years. Best barbershop in Milwaukee in terms of the experience Phil and Keisha have and by far the best value anywhere. 10 bucks for a great haircuit, can't beat that.

Zimtbun

I had an amazing experience! The hairstylist gave me exactly what i wanted when i showed her a picture and i left feeling more confident than i ever have!

Ray Guns, CPA

Phil is the Man when it comes to giving you what you want with just enough advice to make it even better then you imagined. And for $10 hes giving away a true deal which is hard to come by. Great place to get a cut as well. They're very friendly and always ask you how your day is going.

Anurag Deshmukh

Been going here for a year now. Great service. Keesha always cuts my hair exactly how I want it. And affordable. Nothing more I can ask for.

Bo Smith

Phil gives the best haircuts! He's a super pro! & Kesha gets raves from all.

Joe LeSage

Phil is the man when it comes to old school men's cuts. I bounced around for years unhappy with other places till I found him. I know a lot of UWM kids come here for the cheap simple cuts, but I work a 1940s style that is not easy to do. Aggressive taper, from a #1 to about 6" at the top. Phil has always nailed it, and had some great advice for improving it. Phil knows his stuff from 1920s cuts to Rockabilly to modern (and obviously the simple stuff). He can really work a proper fade and a taper. And he always takes the time to get it right. He and Keisha are super nice, warm, friendly people. The place is a little quirky (They recently adopted their niece so she is sometimes there in her crib), but I love that about it. Put simply, they are good people. And I easily get a $25 cut for $10. Go there. You will not regret it.

Sam Wier

AWESOME experience! I've been going for three years and I will never go to another place again. When you find a place and don't know what's better; the friendly hospitality or the excellent hair cut you get you never want to leave. Keep up the great job!!!

Graham Ternes

Far better the cost cutters and a great value. Best haircut I've had in awhile. I will definitely be coming back the next time I need a haircut.

Matt Norby

Phil did a superb job today. Listening to my wants and needs. He explained how to better style my hair and demonstrated the differ approaches I can take. I am a customer for life!

Zack Ladd

Best haircut place I have ever been to. No point in wasting your time anywhere else especially if you're a guy looking to get a cut.

Jovan J

Amazing, always exactly what i asked for with Affordable pricing!

Neil Franzen

Great neighborhood barber shop with friendly (and flexible) staff. I've been going for couple years, and talked my wife into going as well. We're both happy with the cuts.

John

Excellent service. The man and the woman working here both give a great haircut. Crisp fades always and they are really great people!

B Terry

My first time at Be U Salon. I’ve straight, thin, fine hair and this is the BEST cut I’ve had in a long, long, time. Thank you, Keesha!

David Forsberg

$12 for a great cut. Can't find that anywhere else.

Timothy Lewis

Alexis Tep.

Family owned and amazing conversations. As a female, I frequent this local business to get my lining at the right price!

William Morris

I think this is the barbershop that I've always been looking for. I've tried Great Clips to Groom for Men. This is a barbershop like it should be. Friendly, local, fair, quality cut, and comfortable. I highly recommend this place.

Wilhelm Eckroth

Lived in Milwaukee from 2010-2015 then moved out of state, but everytime I come home I stop in to get a fresh cut! Hands down the best place to get a haircut in mke.

Tyler Hoell

Keisha just gave me the best haircut I've ever had.. they are always fantastic, but this one was done perfectly, been going here for over a year now and they are just great

Varun Victor

The prices are really good, they are doing very well, Best Saloon In @ Oakland Avenue

James Middlebrook

Phil is an excellent barber and genuine character. I have only left satisfied with their service and skill. I recommend B U to everyone.

tenzin dhonga

I usually don't like the haircuts I get in most places, but with what I usually tell barbers, Phil was able to give me a haircut I actually liked.

Hemad Fadaifar

Love this place! I highly recommend this place to anyone that is looking for a great haircut at a fantastic price, and to support a local, family-owned business that prides themselves on service.

Deep Chatterjee

Good service and cheaper than other contemporary barber shops around. I just go for haircuts and cannot comment on their other hair styling services though.

Casey Holahan

Phil and Keisha are the best. Super great people who always do a great job, and for as cheap as you can find. 11/10 recommend.

Hans Good

Be U is the best barbershop on the east side hands down! Phil and Keisha are the nicest people and it is really an all around great spot.

JarJarrellBinks

Decided to break routine from the cost cutters and other chain salons to try something new and local and I could not be more satisfied! Excellent cut in a friendly atmostphere at a very affordable cost!

Brian Cummings

So happy I found this place! Love the haircut, and Phil is great to talk to.

B Lovrek

The owners are friendly, professional, and even after 10+ years of getting my cuts here, I am always pleased with the results

Corey Hesselman

It may be small, but its worth it! It really helps knowing that my haircut dollars are helping a local family, and not another corporate chain.

Dean Herbst

They give great haircuts, keep their appointments, and the price is reasonable.

Jonathan Nelson

I'd be happy to echo all the positive reviews out there for this place. Phil did an excellent job and was very courteous. I'll look forward to visiting again.

As a college student, I highly recommend. You pay for exactly what you get and if all you want is a haircut $10 flat is just what I'm looking for.

Hamid Hasani

The barbers are very nice. great atmosphere. I was messed up my back of neck and she made it perfect for me.

Keesha has been cutting my hair for the past 1.5 years. She does such a good job every time. Highly recommend!

johnathan ireland

This review should have already been written. Have been going to this barber for probably 7 years now... they're both fantastically skilled and you have to appreciate the warmth you only get from a truly family business. They even (slightly) raised their prices recently and its STILL the best value in the city.

littelpan99

They were so sweet to me! I'm a bit awkward in some situations but the atmosphere was immaculate and the workers were so kind. I requested a wolf cut and they let me know how it would look with my hair type being a bit thin. I kind of wanted it more on the mullet side regardless and was prepared for that but I really appreciate them checking in and making sure I knew what I was getting myself into beforehand. I'm in love with the turn out, and the price was so low for the cut that I feel they're low balling themselves, definitley tip these lovely people for their worth if you're in a place to do so 🥰 Put before and after photos, the one without bangs being the before and the two others being after the cut
