My girlfriend and I had such an wonderful and unforgettable experience here. The staff was incredible and the place was very clean. Frank, Henny, and Flo made us feel and look like stars! When you want that amazing experience and service please go spend your time and money at this awesome establishment. Get ready to be amazed!

Got a simple 3 and a 5 haircut. Was charged for my beard since the barber cut some of it while taking off my side burns. When I got home I had multiple huge patches of uneven hair that I had to trim down myself. Do not recommend for anyone that is a Temple student.

Gabrielle Teague

One of the best barbers I've gone to.

Nayram Gasu

4 star cut, 3 star service. Legend was great. Though the haircut not what I wanted (cut WAY too low). Legend's cut was SHARP and CLEAN. But though the website says they accept card, when it was time to pay it was cash only. I had no cash and had to leave my stuff in the store to go to an ATM. Also my hair cut took SO LONG, I decided not to get the design because I was exhausted.

Kudos to the owner of 1617. He runs a very efficient operation that is customer centered. He holds his barbers and stylists accountable for offering a service that is mindful of customer's time and money. The shop is also very clean and there is none of the shenanigans that are present in other shops I've frequented. Keep up the great work.

This place made my hairline look like the Nike swoosh. My hairline looked like a theme park. Roller coaster hairline i started charging people admission every time i would dab em up. Don't waste ur time. Hide ur kid's, hide your wife cause they killin hairlines and fades out here. Real talk.

The best cuts are on point and you are in and out

WIT THE Smoke

Sheed is really good with drop/ Bald fades He takes his time with the trim down . Honesty he should make training videos . He is that good .

Melissa Nobs

Barbers interact well with customers, no appointment unless if you are seeing a specific barber that you have seen before. They are great with kids of all ages. Frog does a great job!

Michael Hoffman

Went in on a sunday. Noone there except a guy getting a haircut. Barber refused me service. Said " im not cutting that type of hair" im white. 50 year old combat veteran. Im used to my hair veing cut with clippers. I suppose its ok to discriminate against whites here. Shame i was looking for a good barbershop. (im not dirty, unkempt or crazy looking. )in this day and age, If the same had happened to this gentleman if he went to a predominantly white barbershop.,and had been told "we dont cut that kind of hair "there would be an issue, it wouldve been newsworthy. Weak minds need double standards. Anyhow, ill continue to go to northeast and give the nice Vietnamese folks my money. Oh well

At 16 17 you always get the best professional and the best hospitality and service that you can never get in Philly from a barber shop Talib been cut my hair for 14 years and he's good

Kevin Taylor

Open late do great job

Addaie Amankwaah

Been going here for years and they only get better. Have followed their lead barber through multiple shops until he finally opened up his own place. Interior is clean and professional and everyone treats each other with respect and courtesy. Big mix of clientele and all are welcome.

Kyle Garvin

A family feel , good people

Quinn Kirlew

Quite possibly the best haircut I ever got. The guy Jeff was very friendly and while the cut was a little pricey, it was completely worth it.

Malik Abdullah

Cant complain quick shape up nice hands in here

Jasmine Oates

Awesome service !

Paul Allegretto

Decent.

Briana Chappelle

The people in this shop are great, one of the most professional shops I've been to in a long time. The barbers and stylists are friendly and the owner is super helpful when you walk in he always greets you with a warm hello. I had a good experience here I would definitely return to get my hair done again.

William Leftenent

Crazy cuts they do any style to...prices amazing..

vin green

Nice atmosphere,average prices

Earl Lively

Clean and positive atmosphere.

Dr. Curtis Gregory

I've been to a wide variety of barbershops in Philly but this one just doesn't seem to care. They messed up my beard so bad I shaved it off to grow it back again. Basic skill of a barber is to be able to have your hair come out even all around. They couldn't even do that. Please and thank you are not part of their vocabulary but you will here the word "jawn" every other sentence. Get the picture?

Brian A

never got a good cut here and ghetto atmosphere

Lorenzo Sheffield

Good people good environment great at what they do.

Mike Davis

Got the worst haircut i’ve ever received today. I asked the barber to leave two fingerlengths on the top and he took a clipper to my hair leaving me with less than one finger length on the top. also asked him to thin out the top which he ignored. This barbershop is not worth the money they charge, the seat i sat in was broken and the haircut sucked. Never going here again.

Chris Ebert

Good service. Great staff

Jason Riedmiller

These guys are the best!

Maximus Koltun

Nice haircuts

The Noon

So slow that was my first and last time there

Cipher Clump

Put frankly, do not get your hair cut here if you are white. You have been warned.

James Starks

Went for the first time, to check them out, one of the barber's started screaming at me calling me disrespectful, and a bi**h for having my hood on, id rather spend my money somewhere else who treats customers like that.

Youssouf DIALLO

The owner is very rude, he tells me that African are pitty, and Tha after I paid $20 for the charge and $5 tips for the barber. I am never stepping in there Also If you’re paying with credit card save yourself from insult. Don’t go there.

Abosede Ibikunle

One of the hair braiders there, Tianna Reese is not professional what so ever. I showed her a picture of what I want and she said she could do it. Thinking she was a professional I believed her. When she was done I had about 30 braids on my head, mind you I wanted box braids and she had the nerve to charge me $80 and when I asked for more braids she wanted to charge me another $80. She is very unprofessional and I would not recommend her AT ALL! I am very disappointed with the amount of money I spent because it was not worth it!!

naruke sasuto

If you need somewhere for an affordable cut, this place is it. Went here after school and they HOOKED ME UP! Good clean shop with people that cut clean and fast.

Nicholas Schwind

The guy who shaped me up really messed up. He somehow drew blood when lining me up, and his attempt at thinning out hair was cutting 2 inches off the top.

William Spencer Jr

The best barber shop in Philly hands down

Dan Porter

Turtle did a absolutely wonderful job on my beard and was incredibly fast + professional. (Thanks!) Talib is a very friendly and nice 1st chair with a super cool “barbershop” pendant- he makes walking in a great experience. I was in the area and needed a beard trim and am very happy I came in. Even though this isn’t near me, I will be

Parth Patel

great

Charlie

Specifically told the barber I wanted "enough on top to comb" and he tried to give me a line up. Ended up looking like I joined the marines. If you like line ups go for it but if you need literally anything else find a different location.

Meh...

I have gone here twice now, and both times gotten my hair cut by Chris. I cannot explain how good of a job he has done, especially since I can be picky when it comes to getting my hair cut. Everyone in the place is very professional and they keep a super clean environment. I am coming from outside of Philadelphia and I was extremely lucky to have found this barber shop.

David Allen Wilson

Nice little barbershop on Temple University's Campus. Got a nice cut. Reasonable prices and I'll be back again when I need a haircut. My barber Frog was a nice barber. I recommend going here.

Vincent Murray

1617 barber shop one of my favorite places lot of people there the owner of the barbershop is my best friend. He's a friendly guy gets along with everybody makes me feel comfortable I have love in my heart for my little brother the other young men there or very friendly.

Emma Nichols

I visit the barber shop at 1617 barber shop I would never ever go there again the owner was extremely rude he was arrogant he kept stopping every time he was cutting my hair answering the phone he messed my hair up so bad I have to wait at least two months before my hair grows back in I would never recommend them to go anywhere to get their haircut they're the owner is extremely rude

Demi Anthony

Walk-in mostly, but it's a dice roll on whether you leave with a good cut or not

rebecca simrell

After reading the reviews and seeing the cuts on their ads, I chose the 1617 to get my hair cut. Being a female with long hair, I was impressed by the results and overall barbershop experience! Rebecca Simrell

Kevin Lockett

Walk in or make an appointment. It's a welcoming atmosphere and you won't be there all day, even when it's crowded. And it does get crowded because the barbers can cut.
