Razor’s Edge Barber Shop

Finally found a place that can do a flat top! Thanks guys! 18.00 for a good hair cut was very fair, I’ll be back!

Razors Edge had no line and walk-​ins are very welcomed. They were great at listening to what I wanted and did an amazing job. I got my beard trimmrd, shaped, and cleaned up with a straight razor. Thanks Razors Edge I appreciate you and I will be coming back again.

When I walked in I was asked what I needed well a haircut I am at a barbershop then after I explained how I wanted it cut I had to explain it again and I wasn’t even asked if I wanted my beard trimmed I don’t feel like I received a $ 18 haircut more like a $ 5 cut… I’ll not be back

I needed to guide by barber more than I was comfortable with, which was difficult when the barber chairs face away from the mirror.

First time in today. Friendly, clean, and reasonably priced. Just moved to the area and it’s refreshing to know that Des Moines has a good place to go for haircuts.

Got here right at closing, but Jack still offered to give my brother a haircut which I’m so thankful for as I wanted to get him something done before I leave the state.
I showed him a picture of a certain style and he worked on it catering to my brothers age as well.
The cut took about 30 minutes and he took care of my brother and didn’t rush although it was again, past closing! Jack knows what he is doing and did a great job.
I’m only giving a ⁴⁄₅ though because he didn’t seem too enthusiastic that we were there late, which I understand, but customer service is always important it leaves an impression for returning customers. Otherwise everything was on par.
Thank you (:

Great place but over priced. I know this review is biased. The 3 stars are simply because of the price they charge for the quality. Should be listed with two ($$) dollar signs. $ 18 for a simple men’s haircut should never be classified as one $ sign. Just my opinion. I’ll stick with my other barbershop that does the same quality but for $ 6 cheaper.

So I’ve been here a few times now and I officially will not be returning. There are two guys who cut hair here and the first few times I got my hair cut by the same one. The last time I was there he was on lunch so I settled for the other guy. He totally screwed up my hair. My hair has been lined up perfectly for a year, all he had to do was follow what was already staged and he blew it. Ruined the lineup so bad that I’ve had to grow it out for the last 3 months just so that someone with talent can fix it. I can’t believe I even paid him. I won’t ever return here.

Joel is a great shop owner and barber. Jack is an excellent barber and fun to talk with about football. I’ve been coming here for about two years now. Its close to my office so I can get a haircut on my lunch break. Clean shop They have these cool vaccums attached to clippers so you don’t have to rinse or leave with hair all over yourself. Usually in the chair within 15 minutes. No appointment needed.

If you like the old time barber experience, Razor’s Edge has it. Quick and efficient service and a straight edge razor shave to boot!
Good prices for haircuts.
Bank is across the street as they only take cash.
Parking and traffic sometimes are an issue depending on the time of day and if the nearby bar is very busy.
Well worth it.

I’ve been looking for a solid barber for a while since moving to FW. But couldn’t find one. Drove out to Des Moines and there it was. Joel is great. Listens to what you want, attention to detail is on point. Worth the wait since no appt are taken. Bring cash $ 18 for a haircut.(as of ⁵⁄₁₄) Worth every penny. I would deff recommend.

Excellent barber shop. Attention to detail was really amazing, and this was literally the best shave I’ve ever received (straight razor shave). They definitely take their time, and no rush at all (even when another client came in). Great customer service.
Ask for Joel if he’s there.

Since my initial review, I’ve visited Razor’s Edge again. Same great service, same great haircut, just an overall great experience!

«The Suck Cut – It sucks as it cuts!!» it didn’t suck my will to live, instead it was a great haircut. Will be back

So I arrived and I find the barber sitting and waiting around. Slightly concerned I sit down and I realize the guy cutting my hair is Joel…
This guy is awesome, he did better than what I was expecting! I highly recommend him, I’ve been searching for a non-​salon, non-​cookie cutter, traditional barbershop and believe I found it…

This place is GREAT! I took my son here the other day for his first real hair cut, he’s had long hair since birth and we’ve been trimming it down shorter and shorter for the last 2 years … It was time for the ‘fro to go!
This is a real barber shop and she knows what she’s doing. I was concerned that she didn’t cut black hair styles or fades, but she does and she does it good and fast.
I didn’t realize it was cash only, but she does take checks. Thankfully I bank with Chase which was right across the street.
My son was happy, I was happy and his hair looks great!
4-​stars only because it was a bit pricey, but well worth it :)

Great place. I got a cut by the owner, and he definitely took the time to make sure he knew what I want. He did a great job. This is the first place I’ve found that has awesome service and a decent price.
The barbers are decent conversationalists, if a little soft-​spoken. They have great stories and want to hear yours too. It’s been a while since I’ve gone to a place where there was just a mass of masculine conversation going on. Pretty refreshing to get it.
Also, they have actual straight razors there. Not the kind that look like straight razors but actually use a separate razor. These things are fully bladed. That’s something I was pleasantly surprised to see.
All the prices are way more reasonable than anywhere I’ve been in Seattle, and anywhere else for that matter. $ 16 for a cut, $ 8 for a shampoo, but $ 6 if you get the shampoo with the cut. A full shave is $ 10! A full shave anywhere else I’ve seen is at least $ 25. I haven’t tried that yet, but I think I might.
Be aware that this place deals only in cash. You’ll have to run across the street to the bank, to use their ATM. Not a big deal, but worth mentioning.
What keeps this place from 5 stars? Frivolities; there are none. I like music playing, not blaring, but playing. I’d like a rinse out and a blow dry after the haircut, that’s definitely an extra mile thing. Nothing about this actually detracts from the experience, it’s all stuff that I would LIKE.
This place is a decent drive from my house. About 16 miles in the opposite direction of anywhere I really want/​need to go. However I love it, and it’s worth going out of my way for.

Super clean place, they even use clippers that are attached to vacuum hoses so most of the hairs don’t end up on you or the floor.
Call Joel for AM appointments!
I was without a proper barber for 5 years, and was SO happy to find this place. Well worth waiting for if busy!

Tired of the uni-​sex salons and the generic haircuts you get from them, I wanted to find a place like I remember from my childhood. There are few «Men’s» barber shops anymore it seems but I found one within 2 miles from where I live. Joel, Jack and Anne do a great job and make you feel at home at Razor’s Edge. The price is right and the service even better. Friendly and relaxing, I always look forward to my next cut.
(Now, a Coca-​Cola vending machine with .25 cent bottles would finish off the nostalgic trip to my youth!)

I came in for a full shave & haircut, in order to get prepared for an interview. I told Joel what kind of cut I wanted, and got it. He spent right around an hour making sure everything was right — at no point did the process ever seem rushed.
This is full-​service, old-​timey barbering complete with an old-​timey price.
