Master Kakashi

Every time i get a haircut there it looks so damn good. And they're by different people each time. This place has a PENCHANT for picking out talent!

Gabriel Bing

Terrible cutting skills, especially if you are African American. Straight siccors and combs and everything crew. I am sorry, I tried

Nic Seybold

Always get a good cut from them and definitely not my last time getting a cut from them.

Cindie Dowell

Fantastic service and skill.

Patrick Fultz

Coming from Mandaree, I needed some pretty intense hair attention. Joe and Travis are hands down the coolest and most skilled barbers I've been as to locate in the area, or anywhere for that matter. The atmosphere is that of a barber shop, which rules. I hate to leave Buzzz-D in Denver, but this is one hell of a shop and you will not be displeased. Price is that of a high quality haircut but you get what you pay for so quit being a cheap ass and get in there. Patrick

Mitch Baesler

Good men's cuts and friendly staff.

Ric Barrick

Travis is the best barber ever! Well worth the trip! Unfortunately, I have moved away, and I'll miss having him to cut my hair!

Carlos Del Rio

Really one hell of a stellar experience. Al is a true artisan of his craft. The experience he provides is above and beyond what you could expect, and he has surrounded himself with a highly skilled customer focused staff. The hospitality they provide is only matched by their skill. This isn't just a shop, it's a team. I'm very impressed with the loyalty and commandeer Al has been able to inspire. I'm not going to lie, I have trust issues when it comes to my hair. Al has created an environment where I feel comfortable in the hands of his associates. Inspiring loyalty and trust are two qualities of a true leader. This alone is reason enough to visit Al's shop. The fact that the cut is so sharp, the shave is so close, and environment is so relaxing are just icing on the cake. Thank you for hitting this one out of the park Al.

Top shelf, best in Denver, for sure!!

Matt Lacuesta

I enjoy having someone spend time cutting my hair and it took me a a few years to find a decent cut after moving to Denver. I've had cuts from Shannon, Marissa, Brendan and Portia over the past 3 years and I won't go anywhere else. I don't like being in and out in 10 minutes, but if that is your thing this isn't the place for you. You definitely get what you pay for and in this case, I'm fine with cost.

Emmett Richardson

I’ve had nothing but positive experiences with Travis and Blake. The haircuts have been pristine each and every single time, way better than places like Sport Clips and Great Clips. Definitely go there. This is by far the best classic barber shop I’ve been to in my life!

Logan Johnston

Best hair cut I have ever received, and quick too! Most people mess up my hair because I have a few cowlick's but Travis did a great Job!

Sofia Figueira

Do not recommend for long hair. My husband went there and the hairdresser cut his hair shorter than what we requested. He can no longer do a proper bun, which was his only request. Also the cut was uneven and she forgot to cut 2 strands of hair in the front. He has a lot of hair and the cut was totally straight. He now has a triangular shaped long bob haircut. Don’t go there for long hair haircuts.

Chris Vandal

The atmosphere is very personable and they produce a quality haircut in a timely manner. I wouldn't go anywhere else for a cut.

This is the 5th Haircut I've received at Al's Barbershop. I have been to both the Denver and Boulder locations. Not only do I recommend Al's overall, but I can recommend each and every stylist I've worked with to date, which includes: Paige Flores, Josh Weis, Alex Garone, Marissa Beasley and Kiyomi Lowe. I have received both an excellent Haircut, and outstanding customer service every time. Al's does cost more, but you get what you pay for at Al's. While every stylist I've worked with gave excellent cuts, if you are looking for a more detailed conversation about your hair, hair products or hair tools, work with Kiyomi. She is a trained educator, and seems to communicate her knowledge the best.

Are you kidding me.. JASON has one side of my head an inch, at least, shorter than the other side.. SERIOUSLY FOR $50?

Greg Ness

I have been going to this place for years now and they always do a wonderful job. It's a relaxing atmosphere and the people there are professional and accommodating.

Josh Steinwand

Best place in town to get a cut. Both Travis and Blake give a great haircut.

quinton ewer

Excellent job

BC Blues

Great. Tiny. Two awesome barbers. Old fashioned no frills barbershop. I love it. You do need to call and make an appointment though.

ERIC CERMAK

Blake and Travis do an excellent job quickly. Great old-fashioned barber shop experience.

Chad Wachter

This is absolutely the best barber shop in town!

Caed Shileikis

I called late morning for an appointment, and received one a couple hrs out on the same day. Great start! I arrived w/ a disheveled transitional mop on my head. Paige didn't blink. She gave an excellent professional side-part haircut that I grew out from a shorter hairstyle w/ only ~1-inch on top. She heard everything I shared w/ her and was very helpful and patient w/ my numerous questions regarding the transition. The only real downside I see is the parking situation (hence 4-stars), but that's to be expected downtown. That said, Al's offered parking validation at the Larimer Square Parking Garage for an Hour! So, if you're quick it's Free Parking.

Frank Pace

Still can't find a barber as good as David.

Ben Stockman

Great place! Been going here for a handful of years now. Brenden is the man.

Nicholas Hooper

Botched my appt time. Treated me as though I was an inconvenience. Too many actual barber shops to go to in the area. Don't waste your time here.

Kyran Varão

Al is great. I haven't met him, but I know. You know? #ScratchCollectiveApproved

Robert Chaussee

Great place! Always busy, so call ahead. Excellent cuts at an excellent price. You'll learn about great fishing spots and catch up on the latest football news. I'll say it again, Great place!

Ahmed M

Perfect. In and out in 15 minutes. Best haircut I has in long time with excellent price. Highly recommend.

Robert Illg

Best cut in town

Kelly Davis

I received an excellent cut from Travis in an old school barber shop atmosphere. Both Travis and Blake obviously have a passion for their profession and customer service. I will be back and will recommend this place to everyone.

Andrew Hand

I give this place one star for the service I received today. The only positive experience was the accommodation to have an appointment available after work at 5:15. I was scheduled with James and asked on the phone is he good with skin close fades because my hair grows fast and I like it close. They assured me that I was in good hands. When I get there, I explain to James what I wanted. I explained that I like it close so I would like a skin fade and nothing on the top because I am growing it. I even showed him a picture. He is cutting my hair and then works on my beard that I also wanted trimmed. I noticed the shop was closing soon Bc I could see the receptionist walking by a couple of times and watching me from the distance. After he was done with my beard, he said, "You are all done how does it look?" I looked at the back and sides then told him, "there seems to be a line could you fix it?" He said, "well I can go over it again?"I then asked if he was going to go closer since I stated in the beginning I wanted it skin close. He said well I used a 1 but I could do a zero. I told him yes please I want it close. He spent another few minutes on my hair. I can tell he was upset Bc it was closing and he had to fix my hair. He was taking deep breaths and threw his towel in the sink. But if he had cut it right from the beginning and not leave lines, he would have been done earlier. Once he was done, it looked a little better but I still was not happy. I get to the front desk at 6 when they closed and the receptionist just tells me the amount. She doesn't ask how everything was or inform me of the first time customer discount she told the others that were there before me. Her and James definitely seemed to be frustrated Bc I was there and they wanted to leave. The only person being polite was who seemed to be Al, the owner. I left Al's and immediately went to Floyds for them to fix the haircut that James gave me. The guy at Floyds took the time to listen, review the bad haircut and explain what needed to be done. Once he was done, it looked 10 times better. I was very disappointed with how my service was at Al's, especially since I went to them because of their high ratings and reviews. From what I see, Al is the best one to cut hair. If I ever went back, I would only go to him. Poor haircut. Poor experience. Poor service.

Ben Holmquist

I've tried probably 10 barber shops in Denver and this place is the best. I can only speak for James - he takes his time and knows what he's doing. Moved too far away to keep going, and the prices are higher than I want, but you get what you pay for.

B Holden

Great place, nice people, and had a GREAT haircut. Only problem is that it's so expensive, double what I'm used to paying. If you can afford it, this is the place to go.

Robert Herbers

Update: I was contacted by the manager based on my previous negative experience. She scheduled me with the owner for a complimentary haircut. The haircut was a vast improvement. I recommend scheduling your cut with Al. I went in for a simple fade and beard trim from James. I had never been before and when I asked which barber to recommend they scheduled me with James. I arrived and the A/C was out but these are old buildings so it didn't bother me that much. The reason I'm rating so low is due the rest of the experience. The barber was pissed about the A/C and very vocal about it and at one point aggressively told one of the other staff, who was bringing fresh towels, that it was unacceptable in a tone that appeared to make her extremely uncomfortable. Then the haircut started...he was so shaky it seemed as though he was coming off of a binger. I didn't notice at the time, because of everything else going on, that I didn't get a fade in the back but a weird awkwardly angled hairline in back that was about an inch too high and random patches of hair longer that the rest in the front. Multiple people have commented about the weird cut and can't believe I paid that much for poor quality. Normally, I would give a barber a chance to fix the cut but this is a cut that cannot be fixed and I have to wait for it to grow out. Also I do not feel comfortable sitting through another cut with him. I do not recommend Al's.

Christopher S

Great haircuts for my 5 year old. The fades are clean and flawless, he never leaves with a choppy haircut. Travis is an skillful artist and a master of his trade. I’d get my haircut here but I’m bald.

Jeremy Wittenberg

Been going to Travis for years, love the old school barber shop feel and a great haircut.

Jonathan Martin

Absolutely wonderful, a great haircut and good conversation. I need more stars they are that good.

Dan Perillo

Growing long hair with the help of Brendan has actually succeeded this time and looks really good.

Adam Underwood

Always friendly, always do a great job.

Tim Chapman

Al knows how to cut hair! I will ne back!

Cameron cook

First time customer, will now be a long time customer. Excellent service! Great conversation. Will recommend this place to any guy I know. Best part, they literally vacuum all the cut hair Off your head. No pesky hairs itching me all day. Thanks Blake and Travis

Justin Berg

They do a great job.

Eric Muhle

I have been going here for years. Best place on the front range.

Sir Foghorn

Very difficult to schedule a service using their online account. I can't account for their actual service since I can't seem to schedule one. So, 1 start for now.

Takaus Swinney

Great shop! Flew in for a conference and found it in Google. Excellent service and even better haircut. I recommend this shop to everyone.

Martin Knoll

Best high and tight in town!

Victor Magana

Great service!! Great job..!

depth daoc

Referred to Al's from a friend. Was taken with almost no wait as a walk-in, received an excellent haircut as well as customer service. Will be bacj regularly during my time here in Bismarck.

Ben Morris

Not a great haircut and the barber seemed annoyed that I asked him to make adjustments.

Eric Mouch

Dakota was born to cut hair. Best haircut in Denver hands down!

Conner Monk

Al's Barber Shop will not disappoint you! Don't be fooled by the cosmetic appearance of the building. Blake will give you a quality haircut with the correct clipper setting. Blake layered/tapered cut my thick hair with poise and confidence. I highly recommend this unique Barbershop. I will definately go back when I am in the Bismarck area.

Valerie Davis

The guys are very nice and do a great job

Jason Mcgannon

Theyre quick, sociable, and flexible! I called to make an appointment in an hour and they had no issues with it! Great haircuts for $20!
