Ninth Street Parlor

Needed a haircut, met a barber eating dinner, he took me and my daughter to the parlor. Gave me one of the bets cuts ever and my daughter enjoyed the Jazz band. Great place, great people I can’t wait to visit my daughter at LU again, I will be sure to get a cut and a shave.

I went in for a cut and a shave, but the cut ended not at all like what I wanted. However the shave was great!

On a visit to Lynchburg 1 and a half years ago, my husband got a straight razor shave here. It was all he could talk about since. He had never had one so this was a great experience him. The whole experience was a treat and what a great shave! We travel a lot so he had others in different cities but nothing compared to the shave at 9^th Street Parlor.
I needed to come to Lynchburg for family business this month. The ONLY reason my husband decided to join me on my long journey from California was to get another great shave.
Sadly, it was not so great. His appointment was at 1:00 pm but did not get in for his shave until almost 2:00. The guy shaving him was fairly new, it was not quite the «spa» experience he had before and worse, he was left with stubble patches on his face. He had to shave again as soon as he returned home.
My husband is kind and would never complain to the barber but to his friends is another matter. I am not sure he will return unless he is guaranteed a more seasoned barber.
Sorry Chopper :(

I’ve never been to a barber shop before, and this was pretty epic. I got my whole head shaved, beard trimmed, neck shaved and I didn’t expect it to be so amazing. It’s too bad I don’t live here Id be here every week!

Dropped the two boys off for haircuts. They gave me a complimentary hot towel, goatee and eye brow trim, clean up around the neck and ears, etc… The boys have very different hair styles and textures. They handled them well. I was happy. Boys were happy. Good place w nice people. They treated us «walk ins» well. Reasonable prices. Good atmosphere; very manly and old school. Dark colors. TV. Good music.

Worst. Haircut. Ever.
The 9^th Street Parlor has the best atmosphere and customer service that I have ever seen in a barber shop. Upon entering for the first time, I was treated as if I had been a lifelong customer. I was offered a complimentary beer, and was given a stellar complimentary shoe-​shine.
These things are icing on the cake. But alas, my experience was all icing and no cake.
When I go to any barber shop, my baseline expectation is that I will receive a decent haircut. When I go to a place like The Parlor and pay $ 25, my baseline expectation is that I will receive an excellent haircut – nay, a haircut fit for royalty. The haircut I received was shoddy, plain and simple. I would have expected better from Great Clips; I most certainly expected better from The Parlor.
To give you an idea of the kind of cut I received: I am a young attorney; I need to look professional and I like to be in style. I instructed the barber (Padrino) that I needed to leave some length on top because of my hair’s tendency to stand on end, especially around the crown. I left with a crown looking and feeling like a porcupine – sticking straight up. More egregiously, Padrino missed several large patches of hair on the side of my head, leaving me with 2 – 3 inch hairs amidst ½ inch hairs; needless to say, that stood out and required significant touching up after I got home. I almost need not even mention his failure to gradually layer the hairs from the top to the sides, or the pain I experienced as he rather unskillfully hacked at my proud mane. It felt and looked as if he actually used a lawn mower to «cut» my head lawn. And at the end, he didn’t even bother brushing off the hewn hairs and so I left with the clippings all over my face. In all seriousness, I cannot say enough bad things about the haircut that I received.
I do not doubt that other customers have had positive experiences at this establishment, and it is quite possible that I simply drew the short straw and got served by the only inexperienced barber there. Or perhaps my barber simply had an off day. Whatever the reason for the extremely poor haircut, I won’t be spending another $ 25 (plus tip) to find it out.
If you’re looking for a quality cut for less than half the cost ($ 12), I HIGHLY recommend Ms. Sim Scott of Hats Off Barber Shop on Timberlake Road. I have NEVER had a bad cut from Sim (the wonderful Asian lady who owns the establishment) and I am a very picky person when it comes to my hair. The only reason I didn’t go to Sim this time is because she was out of town. Now I wish I had just waited.

Great atmosphere and customer service. May or may not come back when I’m in town again. Major error on the line up i pretty much had a slanted edge up. Q is a great barber but needs some practice lining up.

Getting a good haircut at home has always been a nightmare, especially when you have a large-​biscuit head. Ninth street has the best, (and really the only) fade in town. I can always trust Jordan to make it sharp.

GREAT STAFF, AWESOME LOOK & FEEL, GREAT PRICE.
This place shouts class yet they make every class feel as they deserve their attention. This place is great if you are wanting a great cut good price (20.00) and real service go here.

If you’re a man’s man and you identify with likeness of «The Most Interesting Man in the World»; then you understand the importance of a good haircut, what it looks like, and how to find it. Look no more. You’ve found the Holy Grail of taking mugs like yours from zero to hero.
Make no mistake my friend; this isn’t a salon or a fake barber franchise. You won’t find gimmicks meant to compensate for a lack of ability here. This is a great country club looking shop with an upscale look and feel. What you will find is a very refined, well groomed list of barbers who take pride in their craft. Go here for a top notch shave and cut, common courtesy you won’t find anywhere else in Lynchburg. Yes they feel everyone deserves this level of service.
If you want an exceptional level of attention to detail, congratulations you found your barber for the rest of your life. They personify professionalism, pride in their craft, and excellence.

My husband waits till we come back to see family in Lynchburg to get his hair cut here. Fantastic people, atmosphere, and perfect cut! Jordan was fantastic!

What a great place to get a hair cut! The atmosphere is is amazing, with its classic feel. Not only was the shop cool, but I got a great hair cut as well. Cuts come with complimentary beer or wine. For $ 20, it’s extremely affordable and a nice upgrade from the standard Great Clips. Thanks to Q for the great cut!

I saw this place on Unilocal and since I was around the corner and I had a wedding to attend that very evening I decided to get my first straight razor shave. I feel like I’ve been wasting my life up until now! The entire experience was fantastic and I was left with the closest shave I’ve ever had! For a novice I’d recommend a quick trip back to your room or to just checkup on your face afterwords, I had a couple of tiny nicks that only took a quick rinse to clean up. You can also get a complimentary beer or wine before your service! So good.

I’ve been going to 9^th Street Parlor for a few years now… Never had a bad service! This is a gentleman’s paradise! Hair cuts aren’t too expensive, and the attention to detail is priceless. Best place to go for a shave too if you are having a special day or a nice evening on the town.
Barbers and staff are very courteous, and it’s a king’s treatment for everyone! If you can make it downtown, guys, do it!

This is the best barber shop experience I have had! Definitely best in class.
I have been going here consistently for a few months now and always have a good experience. The staff are first class, the atmosphere is very comfortable, the price is reasonable and the haircut has always been great.
They offer a wide range of services including hot shaves, shoe shine, complimentary beverages even manicures and messages I believe. They also have men’s accessories available to purchase like ties, hats, cufflinks and other amenities.
If you are looking for a relaxing barbershop experience, I highly recommend giving this place a try.

The Ninth Street Parlor is a MAN’s barber joint. The staff are all quick to welcome you into the very comfortable lounge. It has sports on the TV, manly magazines, and a fountain. The staff are all genuinely friendly attentive. The Parlor offers shoe shines, haircuts, shaves, facials, and shampoos. You are treated like royalty every step of the way. The chairs are comfortable and the entire experience is very relaxing. Best of all the great haircut was only $ 20! They also have complimentary beer and other drinks in case you want to hang out a little while.
Chopper runs the best alternative to the old man’s barbershop and offers four star service at a modest premium over mall chop shop prices. The Parlor is definitely one of the coolest places in Lynchburg and worth a try.
