I moved to PHX from Portland in July and have been searching for a legitimate place to get a clean, stylish haircut since. In PDX, it was easy to find a great cut. In PHX, not so much.
After trying a bunch of those franchise shops like Sports Clips and getting my hair butchered by girls in a hurry to have me out the door and on my way, I went to Yelp for help. I found Groom Room and decided to give it a shot. Needless to say, I was not disappointed.
I was greeted with friendliness and instantly seated in a chair. The shop has a nice, classic to feel to it and the TVs are always a good touch to get your sports fix while in the chair.
Willie was my barber. I showed him a couple pics on my phone of old pics of myself with haircuts I had prior to getting my hair butchered in AZ, which Willie took and ran with. He gave me a killer fade that felt great as he completed it to the finest detail. He executed the rest of the cut perfectly with thoroughness-no stray hair gone untouched. A good conversationalist and skilled barber, I'll be sure to go back to Willie in the future.
I paid $25 bucks for the cut, and left him a $5 tip with the promise that I'll be seeing him in the future. Only negative thing I have to say is I almost got lost trying to find it tucked away in the Biltmore, but my instincts guided me to the shop as if this was fate.
This is the best men's haircut spot in Phoenix, look no further fellas.
