Trim Classic Barber & Legendary Beauty

If I could give 0 stars I would… Worst. Salon. Ever. If you want to go bald or get «scammed», this is the place to go apparently. I was on a budget, but wanted to splurge for the holidays on getting my hair professionally colored and adding extensions. Had a consult, confirmed pricing, and I paid half on the spot as a down payment. Fast forward next week– Jossy who did my hair was sweet, but it was clear she wasn’t experienced. Her lack of experience basically resulted in my complete loss of huge chunks of hair around my face because she chose the wrong colors and decided excessive bleach and colour remover TWICE would get it right. The colour washed out in the first shampoo and then the hair fell out. I also got ombré hair which I made it clear how I hate ombré hair. felt insecure walking out, but after she spent hours working I felt bad saying something. I figured I could try to fix it. Then there was the checkout… I was given other people’s invoices, then assured they found mine and somehow my hair extensions doubled in cost!!! No one mentioned the hair cost more when ordering or I would have cancelled. The manager/​owner was extremely rude, but we resolved the issue and I walked out feeling horrible. Then, it got better! The very first day extensions were coming out. I had huge chunks missing and over half the extensions were out in less than two weeks. The hair wouldn’t curl and looked like dreadlocks. I went to a salon in London and they couldn’t believe their eyes– they said the connections were unlike anything they had ever seen and the hair was mixed types! I wrote trim an email, and naturally they never replied. Thanks to trim I am missing hair and a lot of money from my pocketbook!!!

This review is for Karina at another salon. Karina is one of the best hair stylists I’ve been to, and I’ve lived in Nashville for 20 years. She has great skill with cuts and color, she listens to me about what I want my hair to look like, and makes good suggestions. She’s done haircuts for me, highlights, low lights, and keratin treatments.

My stylist was super friendly and easy to talk with on my first visit. However, my hair ended up completely different than what I requested. I brought in a few pictures so that she would have a reference, but my hair ended up chin length rather than below the shoulder. It was also extremely layered rather than a blunt long bob. The appointment took about an hour and a half, so I had to rush out to get back to work even though I wasn’t satisfied. Very nice girl, cool vibe, but disappointing.

Thinking about getting your haircut if you don’t go to Peter you making huge mistake. He is wonderful talented and a very special person.

Kevin is a badass barber. He gave me a new style and it looks great. The level of care and awesomeness you get at Trim is unparalleled. Get here and get a cut!

I felt like I found a goldmine when I worked with a previous stylist by the name of Nick. After he disappeared I settled for the new master barber Kevin. I walked out looking like a member of the beetles. Not even close to resembling what I normally received from the previous barber. I was very disappointed. Although I did receive a complimentary fix from another style, I was not impressed and have since moved onto Parlour and Juke.

Moved here from California last year and have searched the city for someone that gets it when it comes to surfer girl dirty blond! Finally finally found Liz who is amazing and totally gets it. She really listened looked at old photos, explained her plan of action then did it, exactly the way she said she would. A miracle! After going to some of the other «too cool for school» salons (parlor and juke anyone?) finally found my gal.

I have been a Trim customer for over 3 years and the amazing Libby has cut my hair every time. Libby is an artist! My hair has every possible wonky growth pattern and she just makes it look awesome. I wouldn’t go to anyone else.
Fun relaxed and upscale environment in the heart of 12 South.

Found Kevin Hagewood on Unilocal about six months ago. I’m from out of town and I’ll tell you what I wish he lived back where I’m from. His haircuts since day have always been on point. I highly recommend you make an appt. Trim is also an awesome barber shop, I love the setup in this place. Classic style with a slight modern twist. Check this place out.

Cute neighborhood and set up! The barber shop to the left and the beauty shop to the right — vintage with a modern vibe. Rhylie was my stylist and I couldn’t be more pleased. I experienced professionalism, atmosphere and nice conversation. Not to mentioned I walked always with a great new hair cut and color.

Amazing! THE BEST SALON in NASHVILLE! The professionalism & customer service can’t be beat. TRIM Classic Barber & Legendary Beauty goes ABOVE & BEYOND to make sure their clients are happy. I couldn’t be happier! Thank you Trim & the sweet stylist Olive for doing such a great job! YOU ROCK!

Love this place! It has all the talent of any big name salon in Green Hills and TWICE the style… and as if that wasn’t enough, it really is HALF the cost.
I trust my stylist Rhylie to literally nail any cut or color I dream up. She also stays with me from start to finish. I don’t spend an extra hour waiting in between each step while she’s with someone else, nor does someone else finish my styling etc. And how could I forget to mention that Rhylie always starts out with an aromatherapy scalp massage. Takes away all the stresses of your day from the moment you begin. I leave Trim feeling relaxed, refreshed, and beautiful every time :)

Trim is the bomb and AJ is my GIRL! A few years ago, I wanted to go from platinum blond to brunette and I searched all over town to find someone who would do it for me. I kept getting the same answer. that I needed to try out low-​lights before I made the big switch, which was super annoying because I knew what I wanted. AJ didn’t hesitate at all and took me to brown that day! I LOVED what she did and have been a brunette and going to her ever since. Not to mention she’s an awesome hang which is important when you’re spending an hour or two in the chair!

AJ is the truth! I’ve had my share of «good cuts» over the years, considering men’s cuts aren’t incredibly hard to accomplish. But AJ did something different. First off, the cut was perfect. Now, the review could end there, but here’s what she did that hooked me. I didn’t realize what exactly happened until I began receiving looks and compliments on my hair. Lots of them. Enough to ponder what the difference was. I started looking at old pictures of myself and immediately realized what happened. Now, keep in mind AJ has years of experience as a hairstylist. That’s part of it. But the point I wanted to convey was that she doesn’t just give «good cuts». She instills the confidence and belief you’re looking for when it comes to redefining your hairstyle.
I’ve been told by every hairdresser that my hair is very straight and I need products, but they never took the time to realize I just needed options to choose from. AJ handpicked four unique products and said, «Experiment with these and give back the one’s you don’t use.» Even then, I was having trouble deciding on which one to pick and she helped me figure out that I needed to incorporate a very ‘light’ amount of strong-​hold hairspray after I applied wax. She also checked up on me to make sure I was happy with my cut. That’s the kind of dedication I’m looking for in a hairstylist.
In case you’re wondering what the difference was between my old pictures and now… It’s true that I’m not wearing a hat anymore, and I’m applying product. But keep in mind, this all happened because I felt the confidence I needed to take that next step. She didn’t just tell me ‘what to do’, she empowered me to try a new approach, and «own it». That’s exactly what I’m looking for in a hairstylist.

This salon has the friendliest atmosphere of any salon I’ve been to, ever! I am always greeted with a smile, and offered a beverage. It’s very refreshing to feel welcomed instead of like you’re burdening someone. My stylist, AJ, is amazing to say the least. I have been a client for about 5 years, and her number 1 fan since. She listens to what you want, gives good input on what’s currently trending, and creates the most gorgeous hair. I always get compliments on my hair. I don’t get to go often, but I will pinch pennies where I can and ALWAYS find a way to be a customer of AJ at Trim!

Love this place! I’ve been here for everything from cuts and color, to simple blowouts, and I always leave extremely satisfied!
If you’re looking for a blowout, even last minute, see Liz! She gives the BEST scalp/​neck and shoulder massages while she is shampooing you! Absolutely must recommend TRIM, and Liz is the BEST!

Just had my haircut here and couldn’t be happier. The experience was top notch from beginning to end.
I highly recommend Lindsey for Men’s haircuts. She did a fantastic job.

After moving here from NYC, I was nervous about finding a stylist. I am thrilled, relieved, and over the moon to have found Kate and then Liz at Trim. Not only are they super cool chicks, their color and cut are fantastic. I receive compliments all the time.
The salon has a great vibe to it, great location, as well as great product. The two downsides, which I guess is technically on the plus side, are that you are more than likely going to be on hold for a while and you will go round and round to schedule an appointment.

I can’t believe I forgot to review Trim! I’ve been floating from salon to salon since I moved here three years ago. I’ve tried Fierce, Lucy Pop, Élan, Gloss, The Loft, and I think that is it. I’ve found it’s too pricey for what you are getting and/​or people are afraid to cut my hair. (Side note: I found someone I liked at Élan but she left, and since I live in EN, I decided to find a closer salon.) My hair is long and thick, when I say thin it out, just do the darn thing! I also always start with, «it’s just hair, I honestly don’t care about it, it will grow back, I literally cut it twice a year» but yet they still hesitate. Also each stylist has told me you need more bang, you need less bang so I follow along and let them do what they do best. It’s been an interesting three years.
So erase everything from above, I had Tyson; he gets me and he gets my hair. I’ve had long hair. I’ve had short hair. I’ve had every natural color that exists and some not so natural hair colors. He dove into my hair and worked his magic. Thank goodness! It’s been 4 months and my hair has grown back decently. That is the true test of a haircut. I think the best part about him is that he listened. Oh and that it’s affordable, very, very reasonable. I will be back in July for my semi-​annual hair cut. I think I’ll have him take off 8 inches. Summa’ Summa’ (hair) Time!

I am absolutely in love with Trim! I don’t get my hair done often and when I do it’s a treat for myself. Trim’s setting makes me feel like it’s even more like a treat!
The staff is very friendly and easy to talk to and they offer you cucumber/​lemon water for you to drink while you wait. The design of the building is very retro and cool and it really perks me up just when I walk in.
My stylist was Rhylie and she really took good care of me. I have long, thick, black hair and wanted to get it ombred and she literally sat with me for three hours to make sure she put each strand in foil just right and it seriously made all the difference. She didn’t just start cheating and putting bigger and bigger chunks in the foil and she literally went back to mix more dye twice. Even after that process took so long she didn’t rush through the blow dry and cut, she made sure that my hair was cut properly after another stylist from another salon had butchered it. And, again, I have long, thick hair so I’m glad she really took the time to do it and get it just right. Even though I didn’t really get to know anyone else at the salon, they were all so nice to me it was just a very warm and welcoming environment. My hair looks so wonderful and I’m so glad I trusted Trim with my hair.
Bottom line: If you want to be absolutely sure you get your hair done right, come here. It’s seriously the best.
