Alexander York The Salon & Barbershop

Sweet deal! With a student discount its just under $ 19 and offers a personalized atmosphere and a great haircut. I’d describe it as an upscale Sports clips for the same price, but that doesn’t quite do it justice. You have a private room which is a nice touch and they offer a lot of additional services which is great. I’ve seen Marie a few times and she’s always incredibly friendly and does a great job.

Got a great cut!

$ 40 for a pretty good haircut and beard trim. Great service and pretty good hair cut but I like a VERY good haircut for that price. I like a really even fade. The stylist «doesn’t use and believe in clipper guards» but she said she can eyeball it and get «pretty close». If a surgeon said I don’t use certain tools but I can get pretty close I’d be a little worried. I know that’s an extreme comparison but that’s how important my hair is to me. If it was half the price I would be like eh ok but for 40 I want perfect. 5 stars for customer service though. She was super nice. Maybe I’ll be more specific next time!

Craig knows his stuff. He pays attention to detail. Place was clean and everyone was professional. I had my haircut and eyebrows done. I will definitely go back.

I’d never had my hair cut twice by the same barber until I found Craig. Now he’s easily my go-​to guy in Spokane; he’s attentive, easy-​going, and skilled (from a laymen’s perspective). I heartily recommend him for a great, moderately priced cut. He’ll listen to you and take his time to get you looking sharp.

I have gone here a few times and every time I have left satisfied with the job they did. They have always been friendly, and they offer a good deal for a professional haircut. They even did a great job fixing my hair after I went to one of the cheaper franchise places (which shall remain nameless). I have recommended them to everyone who has asked me, and will continue to do so.

This place was awesome! Chere listened to what I wanted and gave me just that. It’s the best hair cut I’ve ever had. She was amazing. You can tell she’s loves what she does. And truly talented at it. We getting to know each other and than BOOM! I had sexy super model hair. I can’t say enough great things about Chere and my hair. But I did book again and will continue to sing her praises! Thanks doll your the best!

Just stopped in to get a cut and do something about my eyebrows. The online booking system makes it really easy to see appointment availability and services. Craig did a great job and was very thorough, making sure I was happy with everything. Will definitely keep coming back!

Craig is awesome. Great service, online booking, frequent user discounts, and great people. It’s hard to find someone who can do men’s hair with such skill and attention to details (like my shaved in part).

I’m a first time customer and I absolutely love the way Craig cut my hair. I would recommend Craig to anyone who wants a great hair cut. I have found a new stylist, Thanks again, Jeff.

Every time my fiancé gets his hair cut here he says, «Do what you want with it.» This can be difficult for some hairdressers but they do a fantastic job every time. They are super friendly and also community oriented with «how to» classes and ladies/​guys nights!

Awesome service by Chere. She took the time to figure out the most ideal cut for me and made it happen. A cut and a beard trim, and I feel like a new person! If you want a generic experience go to Great Clips, if you want a quality haircut that you can walk away saying «holy fuc#» then see Chere!

On the recommendation of a friend we went to Alexander York’s this morning. My husband had his hair cut by the junior barber and it’s pretty bad. We both have a strong hospitality background so complaining is not in our nature, thus there was a lot of debate as to whether to write this review or not. We keep restyling/​trying to talk ourself into liking it, but it’s just bad. We joked over dinner that the Ivy League cut looks like the grown out flat top of Hank Hill LOL. With this being said, we see in the reviews that Chere is the woman to see for a Men’s Haircut. This review has two stars because we will be returning for a second chance with Chere…

I really don’t understand why so many people rate this barbershop as low as they do. The environment is friendly and warm. The staff do a great job and are more down to earth than most barbers I’ve been to.
I don’t trust very many stores but when I have this shop a chance they really impressed me. For gentlemen who pride themselves in good hairstyles, this place is one you ought to try. New age or classic– between each barber or stylist there– you will get a quality cut, money back guaranteed. (Even for two whole weeks!)
Great spot.

It may have a new name and more services, but Alexander York offers the same exceptional experience that has kept me returning for over a year now. The number one reason I come back is the quality of the haircut itself — not only is Chere well-​trained and very experienced, she prides herself on staying current with the latest styles and trends. I may be consistent with how I’ve cut my hair since I started coming here, but she’s the type of professional who you can feel comfortable asking for advice on what might look best with your hair type, head shape, complexion, and so on.
I always go with a Men’s Signature Cut, which includes a shampoo and head & neck massage. For what’s included, as well as the fact that you’re seated in a private room, the value is obvious. She won’t let you get thirsty, either. My hair is thick and grows very quickly, so being able to come in every two weeks for a half-​priced trim is an option I really appreciate. No growing in or «making it last» periods to try to get your money’s worth.
You can certainly call in to make an appointment, but one of the main draws for me is being able to schedule regular appointments months in advance through their website. If you’ve ever had to travel for work and waited until the last minute to try to get in a chair, you’ll understand why it’s nice to be able to take care of it in advance and then forget about it.
Like I said, I’ve been coming here since the business was known as «Wise Guys» and specialized in men’s services. Since the re-​branding, my wife has visited to have her hair cut and colored and couldn’t be happier with the results. Having both moved around the country pretty frequently, we’re very happy to have found such an outstanding and reliable barber & salon in Spokane.

Alexander York is one of Spokane’s only locally-​owned full-​service barbershops. I have had several cuts from the junior barbers, most notably Craig. He is very attentive and is skilled and knows just what to do with my particularly difficult to style hair, cow licks and all. I enjoy the atmosphere and I’m looking forward to getting a hot shave, as well as some of the other services they provide.

I haven’t done many reviews because I don’t care to. But this time I need to. I had called the day before my appointment and left a message. I was then called back about an hour later and told that yes, I could come in the next day at 10 AM. This call was from the person (sounded like a young gentleman) that would be cutting my hair. I showed up the next day 10 minutes before my appointment. 25 degrees out, I looked forward to the warm shop with a cup of coffee. But, as I walked up the shop is dark, the open sign is not lit up, and the doors are locked. After pacing about trying to keep the blood flowing to my fingertips so I could write this review, I couldn’t wait anymore. At 1005 I left. 40 minutes later I still haven’t heard from them. It’s unfortunate that they didn’t want my money, I found another place that does…

Wise Guys is a real gem in Spokane – the whole experience is incredible! Right after being seated in the chair, Chere brought me a beer (one of her husband’s home-​brewed stouts – very tasty). I could tell right away that she has a lot of experience with men’s hair, and that she is highly skilled with her instruments. She paid close attention to detail throughout my cut, and I’m certain she is very consistent with the way she cuts her clients’ hair. Chere is more than willing to work with clients to ensure they get what they came for, and she stands behind her work 100%. On top of it all, she is extremely personable and friendly, and the shop is very modern, clean and comfortable. If you haven’t been, you need to. I’ll be going here from now on.

Had a similar experience as Alex H. below with the male barber about a month ago. I, too, left with hair all over myself and the cut was simply not good. He may just need more training. I have had nothing but good experiences with the other stylists and will come back, but unfortunately not to see him.

This place is amazing! It’s clean, relaxing all about you and great hair cuts. If you looking for a new place this is it. Thank you for doing an amazing job. I got my first pedicure here and im proud to say it was a great experience. Come check it out and you will see what i mean!!!
