Sidney’s Professional Barber Studio

I went into Sydney’s with the leavings of a bad haircut from another barber and, up front, he listened attentively and asked questions that made it very clear that he cared about what was important to me (which isn’t as common as it should be) and that he knew how to work with my very thick, very straight hair. Not only did he do an excellent job, but we also had a genuine, pleasant conversation. Very thorough and very nice man to work with. Best barber I’ve been to in a long time, best haircut I’ve had in a long time. Very much appreciated. That he also offers massage services at great rates is an unusual plus.

Well back to get hair trimmed down and received the same excellent service. Love my haircut.

Sydney was very professional. I’ve been in the area for 1 ½ months now and found Sydney’s shop via Unilocal.The reviews were positive so I thought I would give him a try. I am so happy I did. He has great conversation and worked the whole time. The shop is very clean and you can tell he cares about his business and his clients. He gives suggestions for his new customers and asks questions to make sure the cut he provides is to your satisfaction. Definitely will be trying to fit my schedule around going to get my hair cut by Sydney again.

I had time to kill in North Charleston and needed a haircut — I’m so glad I happened upon Sidney’s Barber Shop. He is a talented barber, a kind man and a veteran. I will be coming back!

I’ve been working here in North Charleston for a few months and tried different barbers. This one, is different! Sidney pays attention to what you want and always gives you and idea of what he’ll do before he continues to make sure that’s what you want or like. I have tried many barbers for a certain haircut I want and Sidney did the best job. He takes care of his shop and has other services too that I will try soon. He is also a very good conversationalist as well, you won’t be bored. If you’re someone who wants a great haircut for a great price, Sidney’s is the perfect choice!

This being Sidney’s first review, I didn’t have much to go on other than the photos that had been posted for him. Since my hair has been been plenty abused around town, I figured I didn’t have much to lose. I’m happy to report the photos are true to life and, even more important, Sidney is the real deal.
The exterior could use some more color and signage, but don’t let that deter you. The studio interior is impeccably clean and orderly, with thoughtful décor and a very comfortable waiting area.
When my turn came up, Sidney was very polite and friendly as he asked some questions about how I wanted my hair cut. For once, I actually remembered to bring in a photo of what I would like, and then Sidney got to business. He stayed focused throughout, engaging in polite conversation from time to time, but not allowing idle chat to distract the task at hand. I took particular notice of how he carefully double-​checked the lengths and textures without having to be prompted — the sign of a craftsperson on top of his game, not just someone providing a service for a fee.
He provided a mirror for me to check the progress about halfway through, and then again when finished. Neither occasion gave me cause to request that rough spots or uneven lines be cleaned up. However, I’m sure he would have handled them with ease and charm. I would never hold it against a barber for missing a spot along the way – so long as it was fixed before I left the chair – but the lack of any such oversights did signal to me the high level of Sidney’s skill and concentration.
When all was said and done, I had a great new head of hair and I happily turned over my $ 20 for a job expertly executed. If you are looking for someone who has great pride in his work — and reason to be proud — Sidney is your man. He provides hair cutting service for both women and men.
