Anthem Cuts Barber Shop

I came in today for a haircut and couldn’t be any more thrilled. Robert did an awesome job lining up my hair. Looks real good and will be returning. I’ve never paid 20 $ for a buzz but the way this cut came out. I will be returning for another. Thanks again!

I’ve been a faithful customer for over 2 years. Larissa and her team are awesome and know what they are doing. Prior to moving to the area, I used to drive 35 miles just to get my hair cut. The staff are very welcoming, polite and professional. The hot towel and massage at the end are a huge plus. A true American Classic Barbershop

Great service, great cut, great price, you will not be unhappy.
I’ve been getting my cut here for over 3 years and have always love the outcome. The staff is always open and friendly and more than happy to offer a beverage if desired. The hot towel and neck/​back massage always makes me feel refreshed and invigorated. Make sure you ask for the loyalty card before you leave.
Looking forward to my next visit!

Great cuts for the area. The barbers are very professional and fast. I take my two young sons there and they are in and out. I highly recommend this barber.

Love love this place. My husband and I moved from Philly, and he struggled to find a barber shop for over a year until he found Larissa. She gives great haircuts and beard trims. My husband is very picky! I finally started bringing my boys there (ages 7 and 4). She is quick and somehow gets my 4yr old to sit still. My boys always leave looking fresh with smiles on their faces. We won’t be going anywhere else. I recommend her for all ages!

When I first went into this shop, I loved it! I felt that John did an amazing job and I loved my haircuts the 2 times I went to him. I thought «finally a great barber shop that does it all» but as I went back and received haircuts from the other 2 lady barbers, I was growing more and more disappointed. Twice in a row one of the ladies gave me a crooked part that was the size of a space bar on the side of my head! but this last time was the worst haircut experience I’ve ever had. I was the only one in the shop and I believe I got the owner doing my hair, it felt like she was pissed I even came in, it was about 2pm on a Tuesday.
She told me where to sit and gruffly asked me what I wanted and after I told her she proceeded to give me the worst haircut I have ever had! Now preface this next part with I have 0 years experience as a barber, but it’s a little uncomfortable when your barber isn’t looking at your hair when they are cutting it! she was constantly looking at the TV, rolling her eyes, deeply sighing, and just generally acting like I was the reason she had to stay there at 2pm on a Tuesday… After the attitude session that was had she did what really took away any chance of me ever going back, she began to roughly straight razor my neckline without any shaving cream what so ever so in the few days that followed I had razor burn all down my neck… That was the last straw I calmly paid for my haircut gave her a tip even though I didn’t feel like I should’ve had to pay and I left never to return and I warn everyone I get into conversations with to not go there

Let me start off by saying that I don’t usually write Unilocal reviews. However, I felt compelled after my experience here.
I walk in to this place to get a haircut. I’ve been here before with no problems. John usually does a fine job cutting my hair and I’ve always been satisfied. This time, I walked in and showed him a picture of the haircut I wanted. I stated «I want this haircut, but I want it shorter on the sides». He buzzed the sides the same length all around and proceeded to trim the top as requested. When the haircut was over, I asked if we could go shorter on the sides, or perhaps do a fade. He quickly became irritated and defensive that he had to do it again. I actually apologized and stated «I’m sorry, I probably should have been more clear with what I wanted» Keep in mind that my request didn’t require him to redo the entire haircut because he had originally cut it the same length with the buzzer.
As he’s doing the fade, Melissa (I believe that’s her name, her chair is closest to the door and I think she’s the owner) came out and looked at us and said «Are you doing two haircuts?» John explained what happened and she said «You know we have to charge you for two haircuts now, right?»
I was floored. I replied «If that’s how you choose to run your business, then I will pay for two haircuts.» She didn’t acknowledge my response and rudely ignored me and walked away.
I will never return to this place again and will tell everyone I know about my experience. You don’t ever belittle or reprimand a customer. I even nicely apologized for not being more clear about what I wanted. They never ended up charging me for two haircuts, which furthermore proves my point that they just wanted to make me feel bad.
In the end, my request added less than 5 minutes of additional work. They have lost a customer for life due to the way they handled this situation and how they made me feel. Never again.
Melissa always has a bad attitude every time I go in there, so this isn’t the first time. She should seek employment where she doesn’t have to have face to face contact with customers.
The customer is always right. This place apparently has a difficult time grasping that concept.

Place is great, clean and friendly. Larisa is the best.

I was in need of a new barber and stopped in to «audition» one. I’ve had a flat top for a long time and when cut properly it looks great. A lot of barbers don’t have the patience for flat tops but John certainly does. He knows what he’s doing and does it well. The barbershop is modern and clean. The haircut is full service including a razor, hot towel, and massage. Old school service with a modern ambiance.

I have had a haircut by every barber in this shop and they all do an amazing job. Nice atmosphere and super friendly staff. I will keep coming here to get chopped up

Update from prior 4-​star review:
I returned 4 weeks after my first cut. As mentioned, John, who originally cut my hair, did a very good job!
I stopped by to make an appointment and was greeted by Larisa, the other Barber, who said she could take me right away. She asked «how did you get it cut last time?». I said, «well, I’m not sure — it was done right here by John — 4 weeks ago, so I want the same». She asked «What did he use?» I said «I don’t know — but it was clippers on the sides and scissors on top».
Larisa buzzed me. All over — and very unevenly. The right side of my head has longer hair than the left. I should have known I was in trouble when I opened my eyes every once in a while during the cut and would see her in the mirror — staring out the window into the parking lot rather than paying attention to my hair. The Car Waxer they use for a back massage hurt my back more than it relaxed it — and the single blade razor used to clean my neck was dull — leaving scratch marks when I got home.
Maybe she was having a bad day — I don’t know. But this is my experience and I felt I should share. I hate my hair cut. I am 50 year old with a full set of hair — and I now have to GLUE my hair in place (with product I don’t usually use) each day for the next 4 – 6 weeks until it grows out enough for someone else to cut it.

Of the local barber shops in Anthem this one is the best. Owned and operated by a Russian woman, they cut hair in a traditional manner, offering a quick back massage after, hot towel and straight blade shave. The staff is very friendly (although the owner can occasionally appear serious) and is comparably priced to the usual barber places you see around the valley. The location is always clean, has flat panel TVs and nice furniture.
They cut men, women and children’s hair and offer a variety of services.
If you’re looking for a haircut north of the valley this is it!

Nothing better than walking into a barber shop with great energy and perfect customer service!!! But that’s not it! Walking out of the best barbershop with the perfect cut is no better feeling can’t go wrong, hands down best place to get a hair cut!!! Thanks Larisa and the two gents 1 – 10 **10**

Best haircut I’ve gotten in a looooong time! Great shop, friendly staff, excellent haircuts — all at a very reasonable price. Doesn’t get any better than that.
Not only did I get a great haircut (thanks Larissa!), but I also got the royal barbershop treatment (hot foam shave around the neck, hot towel scalp treatment, and massage pad on my shoulders and back). What a treat!
I’m definitely going back, and recommending this shop (and Larissa) to any man interested in a great barbershop and a great haircut.

Great local shop. Offers a shave if you want a treat and they don’t look at you like the moon. Clean and friendly.

Devastated my 13-​year-​old today by LEAVING ¾ of an inch instead of TAKING OFF ¾ of an inch from his 4-​inch long hair. She blamed it on the boy. No apology. Remember being 13? Apparently this barber doesn’t. Skip this trauma for your kids. Stick with Alma at super cuts.

I went here once because I got a coupon in the mail. It was a fine experience and if I recall I got a beard trim only. It was a fast, very modern and clean.

Always a quality haircut and would recommend to anybody. Prices are reasonable. The atmosphere is nice. They even do a great job on kids. I’ve looked all over for a place that has consistent quality without costing a lot and now I’ve found it.

This review update is in response to the most recent derogatory review left by a fellow Unilocaler. I have been frequenting this establishment now for well almost a year, and have always been treated with respect, and have been provided with A+ service each and every time I’m their.
I am by no means related to/​am friends with the owner. What she does do however is provide a wonderfully attentive haircut, and shave at an extremely reasonable rate. I will continue my patronage without a doubt.

Best haircut I ever got. Great service, and from now on I’ll be their customer.
Danny did great job, really impressed.
Place is nice and clean, enjoyable, and I recommended this place to anyone. They know their stuff.
