Reviews of The Center Barber & Beauty Shop (Barber Shop)

Dave Martin

Great job! Quick service and great price! 100% recommend.

KAROLYNE HOGAN

Not at all what we asked for. Guy (who I don’t know his name) was very nice but didn’t give a good haircut. Disappointing.

Brian Yapko

I came Monday morning without an appointment and was taken by Sean within 10 minutes. He gave me an outstanding cut, demonstrating great creative skill, patience and attention to detail. In addition, he was very personable making this one of the most enjoyable barber experiences I've had in my 58 years. I will definitely come back.

Angel Valdez

Tommy Lee is extremely talented! Good welcoming vibes.

Pauli Iida

Best hair cut my son’s curly hair has ever had.

teresa ortega

Love this place! Its great to walk in and feel welcomed! To just feel a welcoming vibe from experienced professionals who take the time to listen to your needs and perform their skills at 100%. Always satisfying their clientele!

juan chavez

Been going to only one place since I have lived in Santa Fe for the past 7 years. Well this time around I had to find a new spot due to barber being on vacation. Let me tell this place is freaking awesome Sean Jones was the man that had the privilege to cut my hair and shave as well. I am a very picky person and so is Sean his attention to detail of what the customer wants and needs is spot on. Conversation was great and comical when need be. I now truly stand behind the saying you get what you pay for and after paying 15 bucks now paying double that is worth every single penny. BIG SHOUT OUT TO SEAN JONES YOUR AWESOME MAN. I will forever go to The Center Barber & Beauty Shop!

Donna Kinzer

Best hair cut and color ever with Laura Rivera. I have had my hair cut all over the country. She does an amazing job with short hair and gets my color exactly how I want it. I'll be heading back to see her whenever I need a cut and color!!

Daniel Sandoval

Great great experience!, very professional, wonderful energy.. Very high-level barbers... never have to wait for too long.

Michelle Bryant

Excellent place. Warm ,Friendly and very attentive. This is our place hands down!!!

Derek Cavil

Don't really do this much however I feel compelled to mention that this place is truly AMAZING starting from the warm and professional greeting to the expert haircut given. I will be returning here without a doubt.

Paul Schmolke

The best! Haircut like I want it and salon services for my wife to boot. Style conscious barbers too. Nothing in Santa Fe comes close. Never a long wait and usually easy parking. Reasonably priced for the quality of service and attention. In addition, there are two restaurants nearby, a drugstore and other businesses all in the same center. Easy access off Cordova Rd. After trying several other barbers in the Santa Fe area, I’ve settled on The Center as my regular place to go.

Michael Kolinski

Very nice, down home barber shop. If you're looking for a good haircut, this is the place to go. A little pricey compared to what I'm used to here in Michigan but I received a good cut. They do shaves and beard trims too.

Matthew Andriescu

My first cut here I didn't get what I wanted, but talked with mgr and got a free cut with a different barber. The experience was great second time around and I have now found my new barber shop!!!

Jamie Esquibel

Got hair cut today. These guys are good at what they do. Thanks again Victor for the cherry razor fade man I'm very happy with the result.

Maria Del Rayo Ortiz

I recommended a friend to have his haircut and beard trim here. Laura, who he said smelled like she had not showered and was very unpleasant this morning, April 14th, was the worst service he had ever expierenced. First of all his cut was not as he asked (it was still long) he asked cut as short with scissors. Ended up paying $30, never going back ever because of this experience.

Ted Dorff

Never had a bad haircut here. All of the barbers are very professional and skilled. The sign in process is old school but works. The music and tv while waiting are entertaining. Prices are good and the hours are convenient

Rosario Sanchez

Love bringing my son here! It’s such a comfortable environment and barbers are always patient with the kids! Jeramias is always making sure my little man is in and out without a fuss!

Shelly Stout

Vic has the best skills I've seen. You want a quality cut, then go see him!

Nathan Gabaldon

This is a very terrible barber shop didn't interduce there self got something totally differnt then what I asked guy was,sleeping on chair just wasn't professional at all never coming here I don't recommend this barber shop at all

This place is a classic! Quality professionals take the time with each customer for a personalized experience. Request Cesar....you won’t be disappointed!

Worst haircut in 60 years. I have curly hair and have never had a cut that was so uneven and so embarrassing. Uneven and

Rosalin Whittet

Loved the old school look!.....great staff, make you feel pampered, will definitely be back!

Glenn Thomas

I am sick of the chain haircuts that rush you out with no regard for the job they do. The Center Barber Shop is the complete opposite. Great service and a great haircut.

deb Montoya

I am so happy I found this shop. My son got a great cut. All their barbers are excellent. I reconnected with a friend and she is an awesome stylist there. Thank you Santana for the amazing color!!! The shop has an old school feel. We will be back!

Bert Treff

Fantastic and friendly staff, and a great hair cut to boot. Will defiantly come back!

JE Manzanera

Old School

Marty

Friendly staff a s decent haircut. Wish they offered a beer with the haircut.

Brooklyn Klein

Sean knew what he was doing and gave me the best haircut I’ve ever had! He paid attention to detail and regularly checked in with me to make she I liked what he was doing.

Bryce Warren

This is my second time here, and im loving it. Great cuts, great attention to detail, low waits, and good prices. Sean did a great job!

jon smith

Terrible haircut. I recommend staying away

Joey Baros

Great staff and cuts. Never use same barber as they are all quality crafts people.

Terrance Armijo

Awesome place kind and generous employees I definitely will be back.....

Tamlin Horne

Sean gave me an amazing balayage. I’ve never had a stylist put so much effort and time into a color, and it turned out beautifully! I’ve found my holy grail hair spot.

Lisa yamnitz

Had my haircut for the second time there by Tai, he does such a wonderful job. I highly recommend them. Its hard finding a good barber in this town but I can comfortably say I have found a great one.

Paige Wilson

Vics vibe is amazing! Down to earth guy with INSANE skills. Go see him!!!!!

Tsuki G.P.

Absolutely loved Shawn and what he did with my hair. He listened to everything I wanted and only had to ask a couple of questions throughout the haircut. He made me feel comfortable about being in a Barber Shop.

임창우

I recently became a regular her. Find Victor, and he will give you a great haircut!

Marissa Armijo

They are Very professional. And very awesome environment ,and nice cuts

Jonathan Quave

Best haircut in years

William Rivas

Good place hair cut and person there too

Cameron Westerback

Great place! Wonderful staff. Short wait for a walk in. Welcoming to GNC women, (no comments about wanting a mens cut). Helpful and receptive to requests mid cut since I wasnt 100% sure what I wanted. I saw Jude and he was great, would definitely recommend him but my Fiancé saw someone else and also loved his cut. Seemed like everyone there was great.

Jadyn Vigil

My dad has been taking me here since I was a little girl; now my boyfriend and I always come here to get our hair cut! I would easily say it is the best shop in Santa Fe with several talented barbers and cosmos. Highly recommend.

Ben Fox

The worst hair cut I have ever received. I would never suggest going here.

Chris Barela

Great place in santa fe to get a haircut.

Amanda Perez

Walked in not expecting to get in on the spot and Tiedra (hope I spelled her name right) took me back right away and gave me a bad ass haircut definitely recommend, clean, professional and good quality work

andres lujan

Great atmosphere and awesome barbers. Took me awhile to find a good barber. my hair isn’t the easiest to cut, but jeremias was really good got my hair just how was wanting it. He even had hair product I was looking for. I found my new barber. I have been recommending this shop to everyone that has asked me where I go to get my haircut.

Justin Sena

The best Razor fade in town! Love the atmosphere and the crew here!

John Meyers

New to the area. Needed a scissors cut. Found Sean and The Center Barber & Beauty Shop with a simple Google search. Spent time reading the many reviews, which convinced me to set up an appointment with Sean. I am sold. Best haircut I have had in a long time! He is truly an artist and takes a lot of pride in his work. I will be back!

Janet Doe

I was the maid of honor for a wedding on July 15th. The brides mother mentioned that she had wanted to get a haircut but hadn't been able to. We had a little bit of time after decorating the venue. We went into town and were lucky enough to happen upon the Center Barber shop. We were greeted as soon as we walked in. The atmosphere was nostalgic. While a young female barber took care of my friend asking her many questions about what she wanted, the young lady from the beauty shop half gave me a tour. There were many walk ins and some regulars. We were all done within a half hour and my friends mother looked and felt beautiful. I will be going back!!

James Smith

Ever since I stopped in and had Vic chop me up, NO ONE else touches this wig! Vic has mad skills! I don't feel like just another haircut to fit into his day, he takes pride in his work and perfects it. He absolutely cares about the outcome and I recommend as highly as possible that he cuts your hair too!

Jacob A Martinez

I get nothing but the best haircuts, service and the classic comfortable environment that takes you back in time a bit. Established in 1954 and still around for obvious reasons.

Dino Roybal

Great barber shop. Locally owned. They work with you to get what you with your hair style.

Tori Arguijo

Best shop in New Mexico

Riley Brady

Everything you want in a barber shop. Great environment, cheap prices, and a professional cut. Tom cut my hair and did an outstanding job.

R D

Very professional and polite group of Barbers with a modern style!

Bev Diaz

Excellent service, accommodating to everyone. Friendly, professional staff. Love it here. Feels like home!

E Rael

Nice, but expensive

Tyko Birch

Today was my first visit here, and I'll be back when I need my next cut! I was in the chair almost immediately. Sean was professional and affable, and did a great job cleaning up my mane for much less money than I expected. I got the sense he genuinely respects the people he works with, so I feel I can say: trans/gender non-binary folks get your hair cut here!

Ann Ann

Had a Great Cut and Color from Laura Rivera, The wait was not long but after getting what I honestly have to say was the best cut and color I've had in SF, I'd wait a hour if I had to. Great Place, great atmosphere, and Great Laura...Thanks, will be back forever

Ezra Noe

got a great haircut for a great price! I didn't wait more than 10 minutes either! good job, y'all!

Aza Trujillo

Not only do you get quality haircuts, you also get a fun positive experience. I would definitely recommend Victor to chop you up. Thanks Vic till next time.

dylan lyman

Great place, may have to wait long periods

Thomas Cook

Highly recommended barber shop. Santa Fe's best barbers/cosmetologists!

David Scott

This place is awesome!

Robert Rodriguez

GREAT PLACE I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT

Della Chacon

I Love these guys

Alex Koglin

Awesome! Best haircut in old school style.

Laurel Kulm

I'm not a native of Santa Fe, but while shopping at the drug store, I walked by the Center Barber Shop and decided to get a haircut. I was impressed with the way I was greeted. Everyone was friendly, they made me feel welcome and the haircut I got was a great haircut. I love the retro style of the barbershop and I found out it's been there since 1954-- WOW!

Jennifer Stever

We've been getting our haircuts here for years and have always had fantastic cuts. The cool retro atmosphere and vintage chairs add to the experience. Not anywhere else like it in Santa Fe.

Louie Perea

Had a great experience. Not only did I get a great hair cut for a great price, I also had a short wait. Definitely recommend!

Jody Herrington

This barber shop is the best in Santa Fe. I go to Jude and no matter what I ask for i always get a great cut that both men and women compliment. As a professional female with a short style is extremely hard to find a person (barber or stylist) that I am comfortable with but who can also do a cut that fits my style. Jude is that guy. He's a rare talent. The Center definitely has a higher quality staff than other shops I've been to. I've seen all the bartenders and stylists send out AMAZING work. I just happen to think Jude is the best

Davina Grine

What an amazing place. Such wonderful hair cutters. Old-fashioned place with charm. If your in Santa Fe I strongly recommend it.

Kevin Thompson

I've recently move to Santa Fe from Northern California and to be honest I was skeptical of getting a hair cut out here. No offense intended, yet I've read nothing but good reviews regarding Center Barber & Beauty Shop. There were two bad reviews, yet I was extremely impressed how the shop responded back and went out their way to make it right. As soon as I walked in the shop I was greeted and felt welcome instantly. I meet my barber Marcos, cool respectful young man who carried his self professionally at all times. He made it a priority that he was on the same page to know how i wanted my hair to look, and the terminology he used gave me confidence that I would have a good hair cut. It never felt rushed and you could tell he's passionate about his work because my fade is blended flawlessly. I felt bad for not having a tip available for him, yet he's gained a loyal customer and ill definitely double up with the tip next time around. Im an African American male and it was good to see all shapes genders, ages, and colors in a peaceful positive welcoming environment. I'd recommend any to give them a try and then youll be able to relate to my experience.

got a haircut from owner Gene. Asked for something and got something else. all he can do is give a comb over. if you go there get a haircut from someone else.

Joelle Altamirano

One of a kind shop! This is a family run business with generations of experience. The atmosphere gives a vintage vibe and employees are customer service oriented. Beauty shop is a hidden gem...will be bringing my entire family to this place, they can take us all!

Tiedra Armijo

Real authentic barbershop very nice barbers and great haircuts. Would recommend to anybody.

Mark Kendrick

Best haircut ever! The shop was crowded but the wait was actually pretty short. They offer quite a few services, haircuts and shaves, women's cuts and coloring as well. My first visit but not my last.

Brett Gonzales

I saw that they won "Best of Santa Fe" so I thought I'd give them a try.... Literaly THE worst hair cut of my life!!! I would give 0 stars if it was an option. If you're looking for a simple fade prepare to be VERY disappointed...

James T. Larkin

Absolutely terribly haircut. Worse than any of the cheap chains. I had to pay a competent barber to fix the mess the so-called barber there made of my hair.

Jose Maestas

Great barber shop best haircuts ever!!!

John Fry

Tiedra cut my hair as soon as walked in and did a thorough job. Very welcoming and classic barber vibe. I would recomend this place for anyone needing an affordable and stylish haircut.

Sam

The service here is excellent. Sean, my barber, was friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. Look forward to getting a cut from here again.

GuanTyng Tan

Amazing service! Ask for Victor and Tom

Wayne Leyva

Best barbershop in town.

Marcos Romero

Go see victor! Great dude with great skill and great convo. If you want a good experience and a great cut. Gotta check him out!

Jarrett Ott

Terrible haircut. The barber kept asking me questions on how to do the most common, male fade up haircut. Not happy at all. Should've gone to Great Clips instead

Emily Folks

Laura Jane!!!

Angela Burch

this place may not look like much but i got a fantastic hair cut. i love that i didn't have to make an appointment they were able to get me in that day and the lady who cut my hair talked with me quite a bit so she understood exactly what i wanted. i love my haircut and have gotten lots of compliments on it. Fast, affordable and friendly this is my new hair place!

Jessica Rhodes

I neglected my hair for 3 years due to traveling and living off the grid (bathing with a gallon jug full of collected rainwater makes washing long hair a challenge). I was embarrassed to wear my hair down and had stopped brushing it. I called and made a same-day appointment with Sean Jones, who didn't judge me for my poor grooming habits and instead made me feel comfortable and at ease. He patiently and gently picked out my tangles, saving the hair instead of chopping it off. He then gave me a flattering cut for which I won't have to use any hair dryers to style. The atmosphere was friendly, calm, and clean. The decor was cool and colorful with retro glamour photos. Lots of people happily being groomed (if I could grow a beard I would frequent The Center Barber Shop on a weekly basis) and saying hellos to one another. Nice color jobs and cuts being done in the back Beauty Shop. I highly recommend and had a really pleasant experience! Thanks Sean! I promise I'll start combing my hair again!

P

Really enjoy the atmosphere. I recommend it to anyone who wants a great haircut!!

Kiki Arellano

Great place. Friend customer service. Opened various days and hours to accommodate customers.

Aaron Messick

This place was amazing! I hadn't had a haircut in nearly a year and a half and they killed it here. I would totally recommend this place to anyone.

Paula Salazar

Excellent!!!!

Chris Pruitt

Awesome place... friendly people.. laid back atmosphere.. best of all great cut & shave.. will return.. thanks Jude..

Johnny Pink

Center barber shop is the only shop in town For all my hair and beard needs Nicest staff Professional atmosphere Wouldn't trust any other shop with my hair cuts and beard trim Highly recommend this shop to anyone looking for a good safe clean professional and friendly haircut Done the way you want it everytime

frankapodaca

Enjoyed two quality fades as well as a straight razor shave here. Even though I don't live in Santa Fe it's worth the stop when passing through. Recommend.

Hector Bequett

Laura Jane excelente service

Cheryl Farrar

Cool barbershop with excellent service!

Andrew Walker

Visiting from out of state, treated just the same as a regular. A+ service, and great pricing on a wet shave/straight razor, with beard shape-up.

tyson2481

Went in for a quick haircut to go from fade to undercut and Jude sat me right away. Took his time with the cut and executed perfectly. Very impressed considering it was my first time with him.

Dominique Sugar

its very hard to write this review. as a black man finding a good barber in town is difficult however i was lucky enough to find one a year ago. hes been my barber ever since. yesterday i needed an emergency haircut for a christmas party i was desperate and decided i would come here.. i gave my barber very sikple task because of my apprehension taper the sides no fade and shape the beard.. i have a dreaded mohawk i told him not to touch at all making his job all the easier.. he had a very easy and simple 40 min. cut to make it cost 35 dollars!! for the most simplest haircut ive ever recieved in my life. i will never go here again for the simple fact that ive had way more work done on my hair from the best barbers in Albuquerque and they would never charge this much. no matter the emergency ill cut my own hair in the future before i even consider this place... p.s. the barber did a good job for not working with black hair if not for the price i would have tipped him handsomely

Marty Mart

Tom's the man!

Edna Siner

The worst haircut I ever got don’t go there
