Reviews of James Irving Grooming (Barber Shop)

Mike Takalo

This place is awesome! I have been going there since 2002 and seeing Eric through all its changes. Kyle is great too!

Talal Abdelaziz

This is a great place with a comfortable atmosphere and friendly, skilled staff. Grab a drink and relax while you wait for a professionally done haircut. You definitely get what you pay for in terms of grooming as well as customer service and reliability.

Been coming here for years. Amazing barbers, great style, amazing atmosphere. You will not be disappointed with this place.

Graham Blackshaw

Very happy to have found this place!! Swanky waiting area, masculin vibe, super friendly staff. Ask for Bethany, she is the best! She gave me an amazing haircut and beard trim. She also offered a free shampoo and hot towel face treatment. It felt great and I left looking like a new man!

Enrique Ortega

One of the best haircuts I've gotten. Ever. Lovely staff and great service. Would highly recommend Bethany. Also, the front desk person is probably the most helpful and nicest person I've ever met.

Meghana Rai

Joe Farhat

Nate Krantz

Frickin awesome!!

Jason Rivers

Been getting a cut from Eric for 15+ years (Schmidty’s Original). Great attention to detail at all times. The other stylists are consistently friendly and do great work, as well! I’ve seen many changes in ownership and care of the space throughout the years and definitely excited to hear about and see what’s in store for James Irving in the near future! *****

Charlie K

Drue gives great haircuts!

Joey S

pretty cool but there is only one barber there who will give you a real old timey clean haircut. the rest are salon stylists licensed in cosmotlogy who will certainly try their best but they can't even legally use a straight razor. I liked my cut but it totally wasn't worth 40 bucks. I would go to a real barber rather than a salon trying to

Avaneesh Vaidya

KYLE is amazing!

Adam Morgan

After going here regularly for almost a year now, I wouldn't dream of going anywhere else for a cut. I have never once left with anything but an amazing cut done just how I asked. Lee is fantastic, but if you book her when I need to get in, we're gonna be fightin...

Brandon Mckinley

Steven always does a great job on my hair!

Bill Bremner

Kyle, Eric, and the rest of the crew are professionals. The atmosphere is relaxed and the music is always solid.

Mercutio Takle

Wonderful workers and amazing job at hair.

Eric Baumann

Expensive. Was not confident with my barber, as she seemed to be inexperienced with male hair. Will not be going back. People were nice, but 40$ for a sub-par haircut is ridiculous.

Andy Whisney

Best haircut spot in town!

Max Brown

Tried this place after finding it on yelp, recently moved to the area and wanted somewhere close by. Had a cut and beard trim by Bethany, and both turned out great. I’ll definitely be going back.

Nick Moisant

Fast, and awesome atmosphere. I've had Matt a couple times, as some guy. And able to see me last minute. Love the change from Winston's

Blake Harris

Been going to Cree for about 2 years - first at Great Clips and now at James Irving. Very impressed with James Irving after 6 visits. Excellent service, beautiful venue. Consider me a regular.

Verne Greenlee

I am an older gentleman and I had several haircuts there which were average but the last time I was there, I wanted and manicure and a pedicure, which was less than good. The young lady who did it went on about how weird it is for men to get their nails done, especially old men. (?) I thought about my past experiences there and realized that my service was less than young men's service. I am a nice looking, well dressed gentleman, who tips well. So now I go the USBank Plaza Barbers where I am treated like everyone else and the product and service is better.

Leah Auckenthaler

Wonderful stylists, but their receptionists are really inconsistent and barely polite.

Mark Marjala

I have been coming here for years! Eric does an amazing job and is just a great guy. Be sure to check them out!

Sam Smith

Yeah. Told barber I liked the length on top and sides, shorten up the back. When hair dried a while later, I realized he took three inches of the top. Side burns didnt even match. I guess maybe I'm an idot for not paying attention but i thoight i was dealing with a professional. I won't be back.

Adam Irving

These are the folks behind Winston's Barbershop, which was a great place. A simple, elegant interior with friendly (sometimes goofy, but in a good way) staff. Leather chairs, good music, coffee or beer if you want it. Some hair product but not overwhelming. The folks who actually cut your hair are phenomenal. They're professionals with years in the industry and, even better, are pretty great people with interesting stories to tell and a capacity for listening if you wan to share too. You're not just another head to cut, in other words.

anastasio popowski

Great haircut really happy thanks to Kyle

Susan Takle

I love this place! Hot towels with the shampoo all the workers have many years of experience under their belt!

Frank Utech

Favorite place for a cut in the cities. Drue knocks it out of the park every time.

Pat Haus

Great atmosphere.... great staff.... old school barber shop feel.... but nicer!

Gabriel Campos Zamora

I’ve been coming to James Irving (formerly Winston’s) for over two years and have had my hair cut by Kyle, Matt, Eric and Dreu. They have all been awesome, super attentive and great to talk to. The service is thorough, fast and efficient. In addition, they have great advice as far as style and hair products go. If you’re looking for a new barber shop to get your haircut and want to look dapper, this is your place! Glad to be a returning client!

Andrew Hanson

Bethany has an incredible ability to read the right hair style for your face shape. Wow great work.

Cameron Erikson

Good place, bad service, bad haircuts. Everybody was slow, unorganized and out of sorts, explained how I wanted my hair cut and it seemed as though the barber either did not understand or just did not pay any attention. Finished product was horrible, way overpriced. I’m never going back. If you want a haircut in this area please go support Glen’s Barber Shop on 36th I’ve never had a bad experience there! Tried multiple times to go elsewhere just because Glen’s chair is always so busy, and hours only work for me on Saturday’s, but every time I go elsewhere I immediately regret it. Don’t go to James Irving.

Ethan wilensky lanford

The staff here are very nice, and gave a great haircut. But beware with beards: most of the staff are hairdressers, not barbers, and not experienced trimming beards.

Josh Martin

This place is great. The greetings are friendly, the conversation lively, and Drue gives amazing haircuts!

Justin Radl

Awesome place for haircut. Barbers are very attentive to the details! Will never go anywhere else.

D Sorensen

Cree does a great job. She's talented and precise. I switched over from Gents St. Paul, after some inconsistent cuts and I haven't looked back.

Ankur Kanwar

Love this place

Daniel Holzschuh

I definitely recommend coming here. It has a very relaxed, accepting, and warm atmosphere. The receptionist offered my boyfriend and I complimentary beverages - water, tea, coffee, beer - both times we visited, and made us feel welcome. We both saw Drue for our haircuts, and she was amazing. Very knowledgeable, and I love how our haircuts turned out. She spends the last part of the haircut talking to you about what products are best for maintaining and styling your hair - not just their in-salon lines, but also inexpensive versions that you can buy at places like Target. The brands they do have in-house are very nice, though, if you want to go that route. PS - a great place for fellow trans folks out there who want a good haircut, but are nervous about finding a chill place to go. Cannot recommend them enough.

Adam Osman

Verr cool hairlines

Jens Holmboe

I had a few haircuts from them and a few haircuts from other places and even though that they're expensive they do a really good job!

Christian Gould

$30 for little to no attention to detail.

Abhijeet Ghuge

Slowly becoming my 'go-to' place. I have not been disappointed by this place, ever.

Tim O'Neill

I've been getting a hair trim and color here for over 10 years - I figured I finally owed them a positive review! They are consistently excellent and a great value for the price. I have seen four different stylists over the years and each once has been awesome. I highly recommend them. Tim O'
