Tops Off Barber Shop Salon & Spa

I came here for what I expected would be a sure thing for a good hair cut. I don’t do anything crazy, it is a side part blended with a full beard (at a 1), and square back.
I showed a picture of how I like my hair cut to be sure we understood each other, and off she went. When she was doing the back, I felt she was rounding it, and mentioned I wanted a square back.
She said she was rounding it, and apologized and said she would fix it. I trusted that she could do it, but the result was terrible.
Not only that, but for $ 25, I didn’t even get a straight razor to clean up my beard? I paid $ 20 in Miami for the works with a $ 5 tip for a perfect hair cut.
Definitely wouldn’t go back here. It is ok to make a mistake, but use good judgment when fixing it. She could have just left it rounded knowing how terrible her «fix» was.

My man knows how to cut hair.
And with a pool table, beverages at your beck and call, and an unreal urban-​biker-​voluptuous-​art-​in-​fishnet-​stockings feel … There is no cooler place to relax while professional work is done to your hair.

Preface: I was a walk-​in customer, no appointment needed (always good to plan ahead though)!
Was timid at first, had a bad experience with my previous salon /​barber shop. I wouldn’t let that get you down though the shop is very clean and has a nice feel to it, pin-up’s and all. =D The gentlemen who cut my hair was really good had a firm touch but knew exactly to a tee what I wanted when I mentioned an undercut like Brad Pitt from Fury. Came with the whole shibang: fresh cut, shampoo, hot /​cold towel, styling, and a drink was also offered (declined since lunch just happened). All taken into account with the eclectic styling and two block walk being that its downtown near capital street I would say I’m a definate convert to Tops Off.
My final note being that I hail from Chicago originally is that I would rank them 8.5÷10 on the classic Barber shop feel, atmosphere, and respect.

I am in love with this place. The atmosphere, the service, etc… I haven’t had a bad experience here! The most memorable time here was when my husband, the groomsmen, and I came before my husband and I’s wedding to get our hair cut/​styled and shaves for the guys. They treated us with breakfast, champagne included, and presented us with a beautiful card. I’m so thankful that Tops Off is in Charleston!

One of the coolest places in Charleston! It’s like getting your hair cut in a Hard Rock Café, only this place has a great product. I walked in and was helped without any wait. The guy cutting my hair took his time, and I was very pleased with the way my hair looked. This will be my regular barber shop.

This place is so cool! I was in town on business and desperately needed a haircut. I found this place on Unilocal and walked over. It was very well-​decorated, with pinup posters, a Ray Lichtenstein print, a pool table, and neon. I’d go in here to hang out. The haircut was good, I got a free Coke, and it was only $ 18; they also have beer on tap. Plus I was seen right away on a Thursday at 1:30. If I’m ever coming back to Charleston, I’ll wait and get my hair cut here.

My boyfriend got his haircut here. The atmosphere was cool, but his haircut was horrible. The shave was bad as well. They did put a quarter in his meter before his parking was about to expire, that was nice. But overall, I would not recommend this place.

This has got to be one of the coolest places in the state! They recently started hosting events in their business as well and they go over the top! Great Job Guys!

I’ve been here twice and I received awesome haircuts both times. Even though it looks very male oriented, there were only women getting their hair styled or getting pedicures. Very great competent stylists. I would recommend to any guy.

Okay so I started to go to this place basically the first day that it opened up. Honestly, I thought it was a strip club at first but when I heard about the complimentary drinks, I was sold. As a female who usually spends 2 – 4 hours in the hair salon (depending on what services), I like the fact that I can relax. I love the 1950s theme, it is almost like being transcending into the 50s and being pampered.
I have been having Jim do my hair since the first day and I absolutely love him and his advice. He’s very creative and always does an excellent job on my hair. He tries different things and always helps me figure out what I wanted to do to change it up. Recently he told me to try straight bangs and they look amazing, I absolutely love my hair cut! I tell all of my friends about him and Jenn over at Tops Off. I have made several referrals to Tops Off and will continue to do so. Their stylist are amazing and the prices and services are much better than most companies.

Did a walkin they were apparently booked even though noone was there it was clear they were uncomfortable at the sight of an African-​American. O well my money is good elsewhere.

Absolutely the worst haircut I have ever had. The guy somehow managed to cut the natural curl out of my hair. I had to go back to my former stylist a few days later so she could fix the disaster. Months later and I’m still suffering hoping it grows out. Pedicure was also a complete disaster that looked like a six year old ‘s work. The only thing enjoyable about my visit was the massage. Warning warning warning! This place is amateur city!

I wasn’t sure about this place. I had gotten a gift certificate from some girlfriends after a rough time, and was encouraged to pamper myself, but was kind of put off by the pinup-​girl theme of the place. It seemed more like a men’s place, and even if they do offer women’s services, I didn’t want a bunch of guys watching me get my hair and nails done, really. But my friends urged me to go, so I did, and I’m glad I went. Alyssa did a great job with my hair, and the nails looked great, too. (Sorry, I forget the name of the nail technician.) There were mostly female customers in the shop (same when I went back a few times later) and I really felt comfortable. Plus, you get a complementary beverage with your services, so it all really feels quite decadent, even with the 1950’s décor. After chatting with the stylist, I learned that most of their clientele is women.
I’ve been back several times — Alyssa is one of the few people I will let cut my hair. I’m even taking my daughter next time I go. I hope the misconception about the «tops off» name and 1950’s-era men’s club décor doesn’t keep other women away. It’s really a fantastic place to treat yourself to a little pampering!
