The Temple of Groom Barbershop - Anacortes (WA)

1 /5 Cezlie Campo: I am not one to bash someone’s business on the internet, however, I believe the reviews were misleading and we 100% regret going to this barbershop. The second picture shows the approximate length of my fiancé’s hair (it had probably grown a few inches since this picture). The first picture is the picture shown to the stylist. He needed a trim and a shape up to his layers and unfortunately what he came back with was the last 3 pictures. At least 4 inches was removed from the length, if not more. The length is hair in now almost to his ear lobes when he asked for it to remain at his shoulders. I would not normally be so upset but we are getting married in 3 months and so much length was taken off that I do not think he will have time to grow it back. We were going to take engagement pictures next month and unfortunately that will not be happening. Besides the excessive length removal, the ends are choppy, there are chunks missing out of the ends, and it is un even. I have never been so disappointed in a barbershop before. I understand not every barber has the skill set to cut longer hair, however, there should have been more transparency about that or at the very least more communication with the client throughout the process and before chopping off several inches. I do not recommend going here if you have medium length hair.

5 /5 Ian Angel Nixon: I love a walk-in barbershop, two people in front of me and was taken care of within 15-20 minutes after I arrived. Fantastic experience and great barbers.

5 /5 Noah Bell: Awesome place, good atmosphere, good music. I went in there after being on the water for a few months so I was looking like a wild man, and got hooked up with a solid hair cut, a beard trim, eyebrows, and we all had a good laugh at just how much weight I lost. Definitely opt for the hot towel and the straight razor. Also, from what I can tell, there is always a wait, so your best bet is to be there 15 minutes before they open at 9

5 /5 Liz Beth: First time here yesterday and will definitely be back! I brought my friends son in to fix up a botched home cut. Hes ten and it was his first time at a barber shop. The lady who helped us was so kind and helpful that he had the best experience! She asked for consent at every step and explained what was happening so well that he felt totally at ease. She also did a great job cutting in a design he had picked out and he left beaming. Thanks for saving the day!

2 /5 Dozer M: Decent hair cuts, terrible customer service. Consistently closed at 4 with two or less people in queue. Was a tight ship when owner cut there but now I won’t go back. I’ve been getting my hair cut there for 2 years.
