Reviews of Nile Style Barber Shop (Barber Shop)

Antoine Simmons

I posted this same review on YELP. Today was my 1st time in this barbershop. I went there to test it out for 2 reasons: 1. To see if the barbers had a "light touch". Meaning, clippers sharp enough to edge you up but not too sharp to cut you or hurt you. I have 2 boys that I want to find a barber for but I don't want them coming home hurting from the experience. I used my face as a guinea pig for the benefit of my sons. 2. To see if the atmosphere was proper for children. Too many Baltimore Shops have an atmosphere that can be downright scary to walk into or just have no governor on their personal expression or both. Sadly, this shop failed on both points. I bald my head. I asked for a beard shave and a bald head. Simple enough request I think. Well, my face feels like it went through acid. You know that taste on the tip of your tongue when you may have nicked your lip while trimming your mustache and you lick your lips? Yeah, that is what I taste across my lip. These young barbers today are so caught up with "zero-gap" trimmers, they fail to remember those things are going on soft flesh! Here is a hint, learn how to use a razor and you can complete the edge up nice and crisp without zero-gapping these machines. No way I can allow my boys to be subjected to this. And what is with Baltimore barbershops and their aversion to a razor blade? I ask for a shave. I don't get a hot lather and shave, I get an electric razor. Not quite the same thing. As for the atmosphere, it is well put together inside but that's about it. The language is not child friendly either from the barbers or the music they choose to play. Perhaps they felt free due to the time of day (school hours), I don't know for sure. Also, if you aren't waiting on an appointment, good business sense suggest that you see if there are customers waiting on anyone in particular or just the next barber available. I waited for 30 minutes just to see if the barber who was rocking to the music in headphones all while sitting in his chair would see if he could serve a patron. It became clear that wasn't going to happen, so I went and asked him (I had some place to be and didn't have anymore time to waste on the experiment) if he was waiting on an appointment. He says no, he's open. Really?! Bottom line, if you aren't as picky as I am, this place might be for you. If you expect a profession decorum from a supposedly professional environment and careful attention to detail, you may want to look elsewhere or at the very least, go in an observe every barber there before making a choice and save yourself some pain. 2 stars because They did acknowledge me when I walked in and the physical presentation of the establishment was far better than most shops in and around the city.

A successful black owned business

Best Barbershop they play good music and have funny conversations. You can even catch the owner cutting hair too. They have about 7 barbers and they all do top of the line non rushed cuts! This place can get pretty busy on Friday and Saturday so be mindful.

I was kind of disappointed with this location. Really hit or miss barbers. Some are really good and some will mess you up big time. At $30/cut that shouldn't be the case.

Tina olagoke

love the atmosphere, love the fact they don' t use profanity and the music they play. I gave it one star because the guy who cut my 9 year old child's hair charge me $31.25 for a regular with a shape up. FOR A 9 YEAR LITTLE BOY!!! it was decent but I will never come back. That price was outrageous. I never in my life paid that much for a regular, mo hawk, or a low fade. I never paid more than $15.00 . If you want to save a lot of money go to Twice as Nice barber shop on Frankford rd. Ask for Shawn. He charges 10.00 for a regular with a shape up and 15.00 for a mo hawk and for fades for little boys and he does a way better job.

Donna Brown

The Barber Desi fit me into his schedule and took his time on my Cut. I truly thank him for that...

kelly roberts

Each and every barber a gentleman!

Bonny Carter

My experience was absolutely outstanding - let me say EXTRAORDINARY Professional barbers went above and beyond in making sure a 10 year old got the hair cut and style he wanted. One barber used his own personal cell phone to show photo's for this young man to choose a cut and style. Now that is service. I give all the black men working as barbers and those waiting for service at Nile Style Barbershop an A plus for going above and beyond in making Dominick's experience AWESOME. I highly recommend this business for those who are seeking professional friendly service with good prices. They are Black Owned so let's support.

My fav Barbershop

Craig Pfeifer

Great cuts, friendly staff. Ask for Dante, he will take care of you.

Maurice Powell

Good Barber shop for men, women and children.. however, for some barbers you need to schedule appointments with them, otherwise you may be sitting for awhile. If you bring children, some music and conversation there may have inappropriate language that you'll have to keep in mind. Nothing for kids to do to keep them busy while waiting so be sure to bring tablets or other items to keep them busy. Otherwise its a nice barber shop

Steven Moody

Kinnard is my barber at Nyle Styles, and its exactly the barber shop experience you look for and expect.

Tony Burroughs

Great barbers and great people. The owner Mr. NYLES does a ton of things for the community.

Donna Tanner

Was greeted nicely when we came in. There were 2 people waiting before us. As we sat 3 more people came in. All 3 left before us! We finally just left. Maybe they should say appointment only on the door. I won't be back. One barber actually worked on one persons cut for the hour and a half we waited.
