Reviews

This was my third visit and Michael is just fantastic. He makes sure you don’t leave without being perfectly happy with your cut/trim. Great atmosphere!

Andrew H.

Best barbershop I’ve ever been to, and best cut I’ve ever had. Nick and Michael are two of the best guys I’ve ever met. Can’t recommend Loyal’s enough...

Michael K.

I had an amazing experience. Nick was fantastic, and the atmosphere was one of a kind. On top of that, he listened to exactly what I wanted!
