The shop was clean, well-organized, and had a modern yet comfortable vibe. Lee was attentive and took the time to understand exactly what I wanted. He offered insightful suggestions on styling and maintenance, demonstrating his expertise and genuine care for clients. The haircut itself was precise and exceeded my expectations. What stood out most was the attention to detail and the personalized service. It's clear that Lee is passionate about their craft and values customer satisfaction. I highly recommend to anyone looking for top-notch grooming services. I will definitely be returning for my next haircut!

  • Lee is truly a master of his craft. He is the best barber I’ve ever met. He truly cares for his clients and has an admirable attitude. His attention to detail when executing a haircut is out of this world and I never leave the shop disappointed. The vibes are always great, the shop is in a great location and his flexibility makes it easy to schedule. If you are looking for a professional haircut that is the best quality in town go see Lee!!

    Stuart

  • Great experience with Lee. He’s extremely skilled and is a throwback to the old school barber shop mentality of personalized service and value for your money. I have a thick head of hair with lots of cowlicks that are difficult to cut. I have tried 14 barbers in the past year. Lee stands out and gave me the best experience. If you want a private, elevated barber shop experience, Lee is the man to see. Well worth the price!! Book with confidence.

  • I have never been real big on getting my hair cut until I found Lee! The first experience with Lee was just absolutely incredible. I swear this man wouldn't let me up until he checked every strand of hair on my head and that to me, means everything! Thanks again, Lee! Keep doing what you're doing!

  • Lee is fantastic. Easily one of the best barbers you can find in Nashville and I’m happy I found him. He listens to what you want and executes it perfectly. He’s careful with his cuts and never rushes through them. I’ll definitely return!

  • If you’ve ever wanted to feel like a Roman gladiator while sipping on a cold beer, look no further. This isn’t just any barber shop; this is the Vatican of shaving experiences right here in TN! First off, let’s talk about the straight razor shaves. I entered looking like a scruffy raccoon and walked out looking like a Imovie star. Seriously, The precision with which Lee wields that razor is nothing short of miraculous. I’m convinced he could shave a hair off a gnat’s back or mine without breaking a sweat. Now, let’s address the free beer. Yes, you read that right—FREE beer! I thought I was dreaming when I walked in and found a fridge stocked with brews. I mean, who doesn’t want to sip on a cold one while getting pampered like royalty? It's like a spa day, but with more testosterone and fewer cucumber slices. The atmosphere is as friendly as a caffeinated Italian grandmother. Lee is not just a fantastic barber; he’s a master of conversation. I left not only looking sharp but also with a few new life philosophies. So if you're in TN and need a shave, a haircut, or just a reason to drink beer in public, book with Lee.
