Customer Review Summary
Reviewers consistently point to skilled fades and cuts, with a straight razor fade and a mirror-free cutting style singled out as memorable specifics, delivered with, as one customer put it, precision that put initial doubts to rest. Close behind is the old-school barbershop feel itself: regulars describe shooting the bull about sports and life, one longtime customer citing an older barber said to have been there over 60 years, and a large American flag on the wall that several mention. Walk-in availability and reasonable prices come up repeatedly as reasons customers return, some for over 20 years, and multiple reviewers note every barber in the shop has cut their hair well, including a father praising a barber's work with his son. Cash-only payment is flagged directly by one happy customer, while a separate reviewer reports being told over the phone that Apple Pay was accepted, only to have that reportedly contradicted upon arrival.

“Best old school barber shop in the area. Prices are great, barbers are skilled, and the atmosphere is what a barber shop should be. Been going there for over 20 years.”

“I had an excellent experience at Gene Barber with Ben as my stylist. I simply showed him the style I wanted, and he executed it perfectly. The barbershop has a timeless, old-school charm while still offering modern cuts and techniques. Although I was initially hesitant about not facing the mirror during the haircut, Ben’s skill and attention to detail quickly put my doubts to rest. He delivered exactly what I envisioned. I highly recommend Gene Barber to anyone looking for quality service and a touch of nostalgia. No more Great Clips/Sports Clips till I stay in Greensboro . I genuinely pray that God blesses Ben and his team with long life, good health, and continued success and may they pass on their skill to worthy — they truly deserve it. It’s cash only guys….”

“I called ahead to ask if they accepted Apple Pay and how soon I could get a haircut. The man on the phone told me to come in within 10 minutes and confirmed that they did take Apple Pay. When I arrived, I explained that I wanted my head …”
