Back In Time Barber Shop

So for years, this place was «can’t miss» for getting a solid men’s haircut. The same barbers were at every chair for quite a long time. Now, you have to be a little careful as I’ve received some sub par cuts from a few new female barbers. Never had a bad cut from a male and although there is usually a wait for him, Val in chair 1 when you walk in is still one of the best.

Ever get that «OH SSSSSSSS**T!!!» feeling when you’re in the barbers chair and for the first time and you know you made the wrong choice? Yup that was me tonight… The place looks cool and has about a dozen chairs, but my only choice was the one guy not working at the moment. I would’ve bet my golf clubs I had a newbie, but it turned out my barber had been there for over 10yrs? Wow that was rough… Ears got busted up from dude slamming the comb and clippers into them over and over and over again… Should’ve waited for a Finleys appt.

Took my 14 year old son here for the first time to get a hair cut. The atmosphere is so cool and totally like the old barbershops. His barber was Alexis and she did a great job! She edged him up with a straight razor and it looked so clean. This was the best hair cut he has ever had. My son was very happy with her work. Wonderful woman and a great place. He has now found a forever barber and barbershop here at Back in Time!

Ruined my hair ruined my beard. Will never go back. Left one side longer than the other. Visibly longer. For someone that uses a barber shop theme. They sure don’t require much of a skill level for employment.

Great atmosphere with a very friendly staff. I’ve been seeing Victorie for several months now and very happy with the work she does. She never has to ask what we’re doing, and knows exactly how I want my haircut. I’ve referred a few friends to her, and they have all been pleased. If you don’t know how to describe the cut, just bring a picture. I’ve been told by a couple friend’s that Val does great work, but I haven’t been to him yet, as I always go in when Victorie is working.
They have a big vintage cooler in the back that has free sodas and water, with juice for the kiddos. The only down side can be the wait times to get a cut. If possible, come in during the week for almost immediate service. They are obviously doing something right if there is always so many people coming in. I can’t say anything about any of the other barbers, since I haven’t used them, except on that I wasn’t thrilled with the cut years ago, and don’t remember her name.
UPDATE (5÷15÷2014): I just learned that Victorie is no longer at Back-​N-​Time, but has also been out sick for a couple months.
In that time, I have been going to Val and have been consistently receiving stellar haircuts. I hate having to find a new barber, especially since I have ran across so many that cannot do a classic fade properly. I am very happy to have found Val and and still very happy to have Back N Time so close to my house and work. I’ll go ahead and consider myself a regular.
Also, show your appreciation for your barber and bring cash, at least for a tip.

Back in time is right. The place is furnished with antique barber shop paraphernalia. I highly recommend getting a straight razor shave from time to time.

I have been coming to Back in Time for about 5 years. The thing I love about this place is that I can go here for a «regular guy haircut». If you want a permanent, layering or hair dye job, this is not the place for you.
It’s like stepping into an 1930’s Barber Shop, complete with vintage chairs, signs and experienced barbers who know how to cut guys hair.
After your haircut, they lather your neck with shaving cream and dress with a straight razor. What’s not to like about a hot towel finish. They also have a compressor connected to each barber station and they blow all the hair off of you with compressed air. I really appreciate that.
A couple years back, I had them remove my beard. If you have never had a hot straight-​razor shave before, it’s well worth it.
They are in a new location on Hwy 377 near the Care Now Urgent Center. The old one in Watauga in the Albertsons shopping center was a pain in the ass to find parking and get out of the lot. I like the new location much better.
The only negative is the wait times in peak periods. They do have comfortable seats to hang out and read the paper. You can also get your shoes shined while you wait. Mon-​Fri 2−4PM is their slow period and a great time to get in and out.
Back In Time: I’ll give you the 4^th star if you update the location on your web site!
