Quick info
About Roy's
On S Franklin Street in Holbrook, Roy's is a barber shop taking walk-ins rather than scheduled appointments. The chair serves adults alongside children and toddlers, making it a stop for haircuts across a household rather than one age group. It stays open Tuesday through Sunday, closing only on Mondays, giving customers a wider spread of days to drop in than a typical weekday-only shop. No appointment book sits between a customer and a cut, just a seat and a turn in line.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often point to the owner's work with kids and families. One parent brings three young sons and a husband, all with different hair types, and says the owner is helpful with the toddlers. Another drives in from Hanover for their children's cuts. Others mention a good cut and line up with no long wait, and one says another barber executed a pictured undercut perfectly. Opinion splits sharply, though. Several reviewers describe uneven or botched results, including a bowl cut on a son called uneven and tacky, a haircut a salon reportedly advised shaving off, and a lack of finesse in the final cut. Three of them specifically say the shop does not do well with Black men's hair. One reviewer reports a finger in the eye and damaged eyebrows. A four-star reviewer found the cut decent but noted no conversation and being asked each visit how to cut the hair. After the uneven bowl cut, the parent says the owner apologized and offered a free cut once the hair grew back, an offer declined.

“Don’t go here Roy can’t cut African American hair. He gave my son a bowl cut in 2025 and it was uneven and tacky. When confronted he apologized and offered a free hair cut when his hair grew back. I laughed and said no thanks. He either needs to retire or go back to barber school. Don’t waste ya money go up the street to professional by CVS.”

“Roy is a top notch barber with a great personality and good sense of humor! His primary location in Holbrook has been in business for 25 Years! He has a 2nd location in Avon as well! I‘ve been going to Roy for over 2 years now, but wouldn’t even consider going anywhere else! Roy’s the best around!”

“Botched my haircut so badly that I was advised by a professional salon to just shave my head and start over. Put his finger in my eye and butchered my eyebrows because I mentioned that I didn't want a shave. Tried to charge me $25 for it, …”
