Matt’s Barber Parlor - Phoenix, Arizona

I stopped by for a walk-in on my first visit, and Matt's is now my go-to. I'm not a sci-fi person, but I still loved the barber shop and here's why. It's 115 degrees outside as you approach the old adobe-style building wondering if you're in the right place. You open the door to what feels like a cigar lounge... a dark, cool, and cozy living room adorned with movie memorabilia, and the refreshing smell of a barber shop wafting through the air. High-back leather chairs are scattered about the room and a classic movie is playing on a large TV (maybe something you haven't seen since being a kid in the 80's). Matt/Luis will holler from an adjacent, well lit room with 2 barber chairs "Be right with you, take a seat." No sign in needed, he's paying attention. With only 2 people ahead of me, my wait flew by... I could have sat in that chair, watching an obscure movie all day. The cut was solid (my SO immediately approved) and the cost was very reasonable. If you like sci-fi movies, they'll banter with you, but if you're quiet like me he goes ahead and does his thing. Friendly, professional, efficient. All around a great experience.

Best barber experience I've ever had. Such an interesting/laid back place. There is so much cool stuff to look at. Luis did an amazing job. Found my go to spot! Thanks for everything Matt and Luis ?

I’ve been fortunate enough to receive a haircut from Matt at Matt’s barber parlor and I must say he is a really nice guy who is passionate about his craft. His barbershop set up is really cool with the vintage posters and items. The haircut was great and I felt more than a customer. Check out this barbershop! Support your local businesses!

at first I thought paying $50 for a hot shave was kinda alot, but man is it worth it. From the decor of Matt's shop littered with pop references and the movies, books to read, video games to play and much more. The shave was fantastic, he was a great host that understood what I wanted from my shave. The a massage at the end, it was a true experience that I will be willing to pay for again and again. Thank you Matt, you have a customer for life.

Hold on, wait a minute, I'm about to put some love into it... This review that is. This is a haircut AND beard trim review! I've been looking for a Barber shop that can cut my hair at any length, long (as it was for this visit) to short (I watched a serious fade take shape just next to me) AND at the same time trim my beard the way I want it (yes I'm picky) and the crew (Zakk specifically) at Matts was the best I've found in 6 years here in Phoenix. I haven't even started on the environment, take your kids, get your hair cut, sit and chill while a fun movie plays while you wait. This gets my Hidden Gem award for this month no question!

I'm glad I took the time to get my haircut at this establishment. The staff was delightful and they executed my haircut wonderfully. The plethora of books movies and games are added bonus to this place.

Update 10/3/24 visit - This is still the best place for a man cave and traditional barber shop combined experience. Matt’s quality and customer service exceeds expectations every time I visit.

Original 2017 review - Expect a wait to get the best service there is! Absolutely worth it! My son and I get our hair cut here. Usually the newest movie is playing (unless the newest movie really sucks and then it's usually something recent that didn't). He also had a PlayStation that my boy could play on while we waited. Once we get in the chair, the amazing service continues and we get exactly what we ask for every time. Worth the wait time and price!
