Brick & Mortar Barbershop

I’ve been getting my haircuts from Chelsea for many years now. I’ve kept my loyalty to her and NOT to the shop she works for… WHY??? Because she’s the best. She is the only one that had the guts to tell me that my haircut I was requesting many years ago might not work for my hair type. Instead of refusing to cut it, or just doing it and making it ugly, she recommended some other alternatives and slight changes to make it work with my hair. Almost 4 years later, I just sit down and let her go to town. She is entertaining with her conversations (she actually remembers what you talk about and is truly trying to be friendly) and she will not accept mediocre, she does it right, EVERY. TIME.

It looks awesome inside. You are greeted and offered a drink, which is super awesome. Kyle was the one I set my appointment with and it was great. He was nice and friendly but did not overdo it. I asked him questions about upkeep and maintenance of the haircut and was very helpful. I plan on coming back every couple of weeks with Kyle, he’s awesome.

Done within 30.
Awesome drinks.
Friendly staff.
What else can you ask for?!
Chelsea is amazing!

I’m not from Oregon and I decided to get a haircut because I heard Portland is known for its barbers. It was so easy to set up an appointment online. I came here on a Tuesday. They were not busy and I was greeted right away at the desk. I was asked right away if I wanted something to drink. I got a beer and all they had was blue moon. My appointment was for 11:30, but I was taken in right away at 11:20.My barber was Calen. He did a great on my hair and beard. He was easy to talk to and I would go with him again. I would recommend this place and I will be back again next time I am in Portland.

This place is amazing! I made to mistake of not going to them once because they were all booked for the day and totally regretted it. I would honestly say this is the best barbershop I’ve ever been to. Go visit them! You won’t be disappointed :)

nice barber shop for men.
the price point puts it into a premium establishment category.
people working there are friendly and good at cutting hair.
you also get a free drink with haircut, seems to be the Portland norm.

At first, I didn’t know who to get my hair done by at this fairly new barbershop, so I turned to Unilocal and saw plenty of comments and reviews for this barber named Chelsea. I decided to try her out and she was fantastic on my hair. She’s has remarkable social skills and over all, the most friendliest barber. Wasn’t disappointed when I washed my hair back at my place and added product to my hair, because it still looked pretty clean. Thanks a ton Chelsea!

Great spot! Just moved to Portland from NYC and had a few bad experiences here with barbers. Glad I found this joint!

Amazing. Friendly and talented staff, nice location, and the price is right. 27-​year-​old guy first time seeing a barber, and I won’t go back to a salon ever again. No offense to my hair stylist, but she can’t cut my hair the way these guys do. I have a full head of fine, straight-​growing hair. After walking out the door, I have a good-​looking professional hair cut that I can change up for different occasions. Biggest thing to point out is that they didn’t try to push their product on me, asked if I needed any and it stopped there. Definitely going back here from now on.

Easily the best haircut of my life. Who knew confidence was included in a haircut? I’m no longer self conscious about my hair.
These guys are great at what they do and obviously love their work. I went with a coworker who agrees that he has never had such a good cut. Jaylon cut my hair tonight. He may be young, but he’s a master. He loves what he does and cares about doing great work. I wouldn’t say I’m particularly vain, but he did such a good job that he made me realize I’ve been wasting my time with «stylists» who charge high prices to butcher my hair.
These guys are artists. They’ve earned two loyal customers today. Truly, I’ve never been so satisfied with my hair — and that’s not the whiskey talking! My only regret is not coming in sooner. Worth every penny.

Place is awesome, hip without being pretentious. Free beer. Super nice people! Oh and pain free online reservation system.
Chelsea is awesome, knows what I want, we have a good conversation while she cuts, straight razor shave on the back of my neck, and I’m out within 20 mins.
Little pricey at $ 27 but that’s the way it is these days unless you go to a supercuts or similar.

I came in to chop of my hair and donate it. I showed up half an hour early and still was able to get started not long after i got there. My barber was Chase, 10 yrs of experience and knew what would look great with the hair i have left over from the donation. Talked me thru the cut and was very enthusiastic about cutting my hair. Took his time and didn’t rush the styling. Very welcoming and professional. Normally not trusting of a buzzer when getting a cut, but he didnt want to buzz to my skin right away, that was different from all other cuts i have received in the past. For my first time visit, it was a great experience. Would consider making Chase my perm. Barber if i lived in the area, but seeing as i cant find one in LA i like, i’ll be traveling to PDX more often.

Ok so I just got the best haircut probably of my life here.
To be honest, I have stick-​straight hair that has no rhyme or reason to it. One side wants to lean one way, another side goes in a different direction, and it’s a continual pain in my ass. I have to basically wear it messy to divert attention from the original manufacturing defects. Then, to make matters worse, no one really understands how to cut it properly. It’s really frustrating. I tend to go through barbers like Tony Montana goes through cocaine.
But today, I finally found The Dude.
His name is Chase and he is one of the rare kinds of barbers that can simultaneously talk AND be fully aware of what he’s doing to your hair. My past experiences have shown that most barbers can do a decent job while taking a vow of silence, or they instead opt to have a colorful conversation with me, which generally leaves me with a haircut best kept under a hat.
I guess it’s that whole multitasking thing that gets the best of them.
Chase is a great multitasker. And Brick and Mortar is a great shop. Friendly staff, beers and whiskey on the ready to down, and all in an airy, clean space. I highly recommend it to guys searching for a great cut.

This is the 2015 Portland version of the barber shop from the movie ‘Coming To America’ with Eddie Murphy. It has the comfortable local vibe where everyone seems really nice and friendly, while providing an incredibly good haircut. I went in for a simple clean up around the neck, ears and sides and Kyle made sure everything was perfect. I’ll definitely return when I’m in need of a full cut.

Wow. Just wow.
I’m another Modern Man cast off and needed a damn haircut badly. This was the best reviewed barber shop on Unilocal,so thought I’d give them a try.
I got in same day with Mikey and was SERIOUSLY impressed. I have difficult thick hair but Mikey knocked my mane down to a sick coif in no time flat.
Also, he is a GREAT guy. This is his place and he is clearly putting blood, sweat, and tears into making it shine.
My experience was simply flawless today. He just won another regular customer.

Came here at the recommendation of the massage therapist next door.
Was not disappointed.
Very chill atmosphere.
I used to shave my head for a long time (see my picture) and have yet to develop a great way of describing what I want done with my hair. However, the barber did a terrific job of translating my stammering about length of hair in to a great hair cut.
Their selection of hair products is also surprisingly diverse and well-​priced.

I have been going to Cory to get my haircut ever since moving to Portland 5 years ago. At the time I was switching barbers every few months due to general dissatisfaction, and I remember thinking how pumped I was to find a guy who really knew how to bring out my best cut, even if I didn’t quite know what I was going for.
So, I was even *more* pumped when Cory and his crew opened up Brick & Mortar. Forget the over-​stylized «hipness» of the Modern Mans out there: B&M is clean, modern, unassuming, and solely there to give you a great cut. When you walk in there, they’ll pour you a drink, treat you like family, and make sure you love your haircut.
Bonus points: they have great taste in music.
Cory better not retire because I want him to be cutting my hair for 5 more years. Cannot recommend Brick & Mortar more.

While in town on holiday, I found this excellent barber shop on Unilocal.
Made an appointment online the evening before and got email reminders throughout the next day to make sure I didn’t miss it. Was able to select the barber based on the time of appointment, which I thought was a great way to take appointments.
When I arrived (a few minutes early), I was offered a shot of whiskey or a beer (I went for a shot). Awesome. Then when I sat down to get my haircut with Mikey, we talked through my itinerary for my drive down the Oregon coast. More awesome. Then he cut my hair exactly as I asked, finished with a straight razor and towels. Even gave me a discount when he learned that I found the shop on Unilocal.Most awesome.
Wish there were a spot like Brick & Mortar in my neighborhood. Whenever I’m back in Portland, I’ll absolutely come back. And after my awesome haircut, and maybe a straight-​razor shave, I’ll high-​tail it down the street to Lardo…

As a refugee from the crumbling Modern Man Alberta, I was glad to learn of this unassuming gem that as it turns out is owned and staffed by many from there.
Completely different vibe, no affected olde décor, just a clean, actually modern place, with friendly staff and, bonus, a little corner for the kids, which my kiddo happily sat and enjoyed, leaving me to focus on and enjoy my haircut.
Speaking of, my haircut with Ryan was the best one I’ve had. Ever. Seriously. Knowledgeable, real, thorough, clearly loves what he does and cares about doing a great job.
He was funny, patient with my occasional toddler sleep deprived brainfarts, and when I said I don’t use products now because it makes my thinning hair look thinner, he said he knew just what to recommend, as he had fine hair — styling powder. I’d never heard of it before! And I knew he wasn’t just trying to upsell me when he said that, among the many products they carry, it’s not one of them.
I’m glad they’re there, plan to return, and wish them great success.

So glad that Chachi is here, he does a great job cutting my Asian hair and the location is conveniently close to my apartment.
Cory cut my hair in the past at another shop, he is great too!
