Squatch Tip: How you care for your hair at home is even more important than where you go to get it cut. Maintain your mane with quality, natural products that will keep you feeling (and looking) as good as the day you saw the barber.

MAINTAIN YOUR MANE

Alabama

Greasy Hands Barbershop in Huntsville, AL boasts stellar reviews from every guy who’s gone. A particular favorite: their old-fashioned neck shave starting off with a hot lather and steam towel.

Pro tip: Get a professional level shave at home with this high-quality, classic shaving kit that has it all. The only thing it doesn’t have? Someone else to do it for you. 

Alaska

Man Spa in Anchorage does it all: killer haircuts, beard designs, straight razor shaves, and massage therapy. Premium haircut and grooming packages (and a pool table) make it a true manly man’s spa.

Arizona

Arizona’s definitely gunning for the Coolest Barbershops Per Capita award, but Who’s Next Barber stands out among the competition. They create awesome cuts and designs that, as their motto says, help men be men. They’re talented, well-priced, and hilarious—what more could you want?

Arkansas

Handle Barbershop gives downtown Little Rock, AR its most classic cuts and shaves—homages to classic barbering at its finest. An old-fashioned Razor Shave gets you a sharp, straight razor shave complete with hot and cold towels infused with natural woodsy scents, like cedar and peppermint.

After your trip to the barbershop, you can recreate your experience at home with cedar citrus and spearmint scented soaps to tide you over until your next professional shave.

California

What’s better than a great barber? A great barbershop that’s also a great bar. Barber Lounge doesn’t just give you world-class barbering services—they’ve got a full lounge and sports bar so you can watch the game, get a seriously badass shave and have a drink, all at the same time.

Colorado

Floyd’s 99 Barbershop is Colorado’s go-to for old-school takes on styles for the modern man—think everything from their five-star Floyd’s Cut (for short cuts above the ear) to Design Work that uses clippers, scissors, and straight razors to etch a one-of-a-kind look into your hair.

Connecticut

New Era Barbershop’s motto is setting trends for a new era, and with dozens of five-star reviews, they’re clearly doing just that. Guys of all ages come to New Age for superior cuts, shaves, beard trims, and more.

Hawaii

Phil’s Barber Shop offers an all-in-one barbershop experience that sets men up to be Men—with an uppercase M.

Named after the owner’s grandfather, a lifelong barber himself, this shop does everything from simple cuts to signature packages. Our pick: the Godfather Shave. It starts off with a hot lather and hot towel infusions, then shaving cream is applied with an Italian-made shave brush, before an ultra-close straight razor shave and final facial massage.

Idaho

Ice-cold beers and giant flatscreen TVs are just the beginning at Craftsman Unlimited: this veteran-owned business offers a unique business model—you pay for a subscription, which covers as many haircuts a month as you want—that keeps guys looking sharp (and believe us, we know a thing our two about men’s grooming subscriptions). Not ready to subscribe? No worries—you can still sip on a Craftsman cold one with a single appointment.

Illinois

There are tons of great barbershops in Illinois, but Chicago’s Blind Barber does double-duty with first-class barbers creating phenomenal cuts up front and a cool, retro-themed speakeasy in back. Start off with a tailored haircut, then step back in time with a bougie grilled cheese and cocktail.  

Indiana

Warfleigh Barber Shop makes Indianapolis a seriously cool contender. They’re walk-in only and feature minimalistic services including simple haircuts, beard trims, hot lather shaves, and neck shaves. They occasionally do pop-up appearances in different areas of the city, so keep an eye out for the “book for pop-up” button on their website!

In their own words, they’re “where traditional barbering and modern spa services meet your favorite watering hole”—an all-in-one grooming experience that hits all the right notes.

Louisiana

The Parker Barber uses modern grooming technology at its finest to create an old-school barbershop experience. It’s New Orleans, so naturally there’s alcohol involved. Try a signature cocktail or crack open a beer while you get groomed by some of the best barbers Louisiana has to offer.

Maine

Take your man-cave, and make it classy. That’s just a hint of what’s waiting for you at Blind Pig Barber: part chill lounge (drinks included) and part gallery of grooming- it’s no wonder this shop and salon is the Maine man’s favorite place for a haircut, shave and drink.

Maryland

The Old Bank/Market Barbers bring the tradition of a good barbershop to a new era, from their meme-filled Instagram (you know we love memes) to the motto on their homepage: variety is king.

Nevada

A day at Derby Supply Co starts strong with your choice of spirits, including scotch, bourbon and beer. Once you have a drink in hand, get ready for a steamy hot towel that sets up your hair and beard for grooming glory, from close fades to old-fashioned shaves and mighty ‘staches.

New York

Sometimes a man needs more than a shave and a haircut. He needs a shave, a haircut, a whiskey, and a new leather belt. Brooklyn’s Black Rabbit Barbershop is part barbershop and part leather studio. Start off with a whiskey and haircut, then check out their selection of fine leather goods from AWL&MAUL.

North Carolina

Ohio

Cool barbershops are par for the course in Ohio’s capital city, but for an old-fashioned shave and haircut, go to Santarelli’s Barbershop. This classic barbershop has been around since 1984 and offers superior shaves, cuts, and fades at great prices—a cut runs just $23.

Oklahoma

This classic Oklahoma barbershop sticks to their principles of honor, dependability, and quality. Weldon Jack’s barbershop services look minimal at first—they offer just a few different cuts and straight razor shaves. Truth is, they’re masters of the art, and make every man feel and look his best.

South Dakota

The Man Salon takes barbering to a new level with relaxation that makes men feel like men. Chill out in their leather club chairs and watch the game on big screen TVs, or have a snack and a drink as you browse Sports Illustrated. Did we mention they cut your hair in a private suite that comes with a classic leather barber chair and LCD TV?

Tennessee

Whether you know them from their days as Frank’s Barbershop or as Gambuzza’s today, this Knoxville barbershop stands out. Step into their lounge for a game of pool and a drink, then the barbers work their magic with hot towel shaves, men’s facials, and contemporary styles.

Utah

There’s only three services on the menu at City Barbers, and they’re all spectacular. There’s the classic haircut (which comes with a complimentary beard trim) and the traditional straight razor shave complete with hot towels and hand-whipped shave soaps from London. And for those days after a long night when your grooming routine is AWOL, there’s the “hangover therapy treatment” —a cleansing, exfoliating, and hydrating treatment that ends with a relaxing massage. Hangover cured.

Vermont

Old Soul Barbershop is one of Vermont’s top picks for finely tailored haircuts and hot towel shaves. With only four barbers, it’s a small shop—but with huge impact. They’re cash only and don’t take reservations, but the awesome haircut is worth the wait.

The Razor and Shear’s progressive take on the traditional barbershop experience makes it an obvious favorite for the men of West Virginia. You’ll find all the standard hair, grooming, and beard services, but the Gentleman’s Deluxe package is the ultimate in barbershop relaxation.

Wisconsin

Stag Barbershop is a place for the modern man. Classic yet innovative, this shop boasts the best of both worlds, with everything from buzz cuts and rugged designs to hot lather head shaves and shoe shines.

Wyoming

Martin Barber Co. is an old-school barbershop with added spice. Yes, they can they trim, shape, and shave both precision or classic styles- but the personality in this place is really what keeps everyone coming back time and time again.

That's All 50!
