Great place to get a decent haircut at a fair price. If you’re lucky you’ll also learn a thing or two about cutting hair! Staff and students here are awesome.

They do good job of cutting hair- price is very affordable.

They were really nice and they ended up squeezing me in at the last minute

I was pleasantly surprised to walk into a fully functioning barber shop with several students actively trimming away under the attentive supervision of an extremely skilled teacher. Ryan made slight changes as i requested and made certain I was satisfied with the style before finishing up. There is not much reason to go spend $30 on a high fade with Bates Barbers taking walk-ins for $6.

Be patient, and your come away with a great cut, by a well trained student. Price is unbeatable, and supports an excellent trade school program. Urban Barbershop theme!

Took my almost 3 year old here and they did a wonderful job with his hair cut and working around him being wiggly. Will definitely be back. Cant beat a great hair cut for 6 bucks and it helps give the students real life experience. :)

Today was the second time here and I will say that this is the best damn shop in the area. I am sold that this place is great. Give them a shot. Old school vibe in a college and the guys are great!

I cant say I hated it. But I really cant say anything. I routed myself through traffic today because I wanted to try this shop. Got there around 6pm and found nothing but locked doors. The open sign and barber pole were off. But it was business hours. Maybe Ill try another day.

Good people and great place! They do fabulous work and very cheap price. Check em out!! You wont be disappointed ;)

I never write a review, but I cannot skip out on telling you all how great this shop is. I could tell that since all the barbers are training, that they are all excited to cut and put a lot of effort and pride into their clients. I came in to get a comb over w/ a tight mid skin fade, and I got the best skin fade that I have had in a while. My cut looked like the ones off of Facebook and YouTube. The hair cut was only $6 dollars, and the cut was so good I could not skip on tipping my barber the change. Make sure if that if you are having the barbers cut both the top and the sides that you reserve at least an hour for the cut since they are still training, and take their time to trim you right. They also have options to get you hair washed for only $1.50 more, and they even will line and trim your beard for $5. As long as you are not looking for something too unique, you will come out looking proper. I Will be back for sure when I need some touch ups.

You will get a good hair cut and great service here. Give them your support.

The staff and students are professional , polite and when I walk out the door I look like I just did a shoot for the cover of GQ. Magazine. ! I travel from lakewood to get my hair cut and wont go anywhere else. Plus with night time hours.

Great service, nice haircut, beard trim and shave! Really great prices!

Cool free cuts. A blessing

Cheap price for a great haircut. It make take awhile since they are students in training but it is worth it.
