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
A significant recurring complaint runs through several reviews, particularly from Black male customers, who describe botched cuts: one reviewer's son received an uneven bowl cut, another says a bad haircut left him advised to shave his head and start over, and one recounts the barber's finger slipping near his eye while trimming eyebrows he hadn't asked for, then being charged for it. Others report a lack of finesse and cleanliness in the final cut, and one longtime customer notes the same barber never remembers him as a repeat client and cuts facing away from the mirror.

“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!

“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, …”
