The Barbers – Progress Ridge

I have 3 boys and live near by so naturally I bring them here. When we do end up staying the cut is usually decent. But most of the time when we walk in there is one girl who tells us the wait is really long «over an hour» before we even make it to the check in desk. No «hi» or «welcome». Today I checked the list after being told there was over and hour wait and there were 2 names on it with 3 people working. It gives the impression that they don’t have time for us. Who knows, we would probably be willing to sign in and come back since we live a few blocks away but it’s as if they don’t want our business. We usually end up going to the one on Scholls Ferry and no matter how busy they are they are always very welcoming to their customers. From now on we’ll be taking the extra time to drive there.

To the one person whom gave Barbers one star! I beg to differ… I’ve been coming here since they opened a few years ago. April is one of the original stylist and is super, perhaps the reason he got «skipped» was due to someone calling in ahead … The place and staff are awesome

Said the wait would be an hour. An hour 40 and still waiting. Called the next person after skipping over me as I wait. «Sorry…you’ll be next. We’re short two people today». Figure it out. Hire more folks. This is NO way to run a business. First and last time customer.

I have been getting my haircut at the barbers for the last 2 years now and while all locations are generally pretty good, this location is exceptional. The staff here are great and very courteous. The manager Lori is great and now my go-​to stylist as her expertise with my hair really shows. Keep up the great work and I’lol keep coming back!

This place just feels like a sports bar where you get a hair cut. I have been there 3 – 4 times now and I just never got a vibe that made me comfortable. I know it is trying to be trendy and stylish, but it just isn’t working. The haircuts that I have received were fine, but I never saw the same barber there, ever. That could be coincidence, but I don’t think so. I guess I might give it a range of 2 – 4 stars as the hair cut is fine, but the feel of the place just doesn’t work for me. I would give it 2 as my last trip there left me frustrated since I saw one name on the list when I signed in, but 3 people got seats to get cuts before I walked out. There wasn’t any indication from the barbers that I would be waiting all that long and so it left me a bit miffed. I didn’t have any more time to wait, so I left. There are other barbers out there, so I don’t need to go back here.

Very friendly service. Everything about this place is great. Speedy service that is great quality. Whatever you want to watch they will put on for you. They give back massages after the haircut, if you’re into that.

Nice people but I’ve had better cuts at places like great clips. very friendly, u can watch tv, eat popcorn. But when u get home and look in the mirror u want to be able to say «oh ya, looking good», not, «they messed me up». Oh well, it will grow.

Don’t be fooled. This is a salon catering to men, not a barbers. The lady that cut my hair wasn’t even a barber — she was a cosmetologist. Big difference. Okay cut but don’t expect a barber shop experience.

Kudos! Accolades! Woo-​hoo! I think I’ve finally found a place to get my son’s hair cut! The brief background is that we’ve never just sheared my son’s hair into a buzzcut. Never, ever, ever, ever. Now that he’s in middle school and used to having combable hair, he’s gone through phases such as wanting hair like the 10^th Doctor and wanting it like Alex from Earth to Echo. This is all just code for he wants it longer and sort of messy on top and shorter on the sides. It’s really pretty basic, but the so-​called great and super places in town think that just because he’s a kid, they’ll just do the standard cut it as short as they can without listening to what we said.
That wasn’t the case at The Barbers. We actually just stopped here on a whim. The last cut that my son got was actually nice, but it was at the salon I go to and he said that it was very girly. He has a point. I thought he would just have to suffer through the girliness in order to have a good cut when I happened to see The Barbers. We stopped in and only waited for a little while (you are able to call ahead up to half an hour, or call in and they’ll tell you when they have openings). There were several TVs playing sports and a popcorn cart where you’re able to fill a little bag.
Nicole listened to what my son wanted, explained how his thin hair texture would look with that exact cut and what she would do to get it to look just like he wanted it. She took her time and it ended up looking great! I know how long people take on my own hair and appreciate that she took care to make sure that my son’s hair was cut perfectly. After his cut, he got a couple of minutes of that back massager machine. He’s happy, I’m happy, and the fact that it was only $ 12.95 made me even happier! Hooray!

I’ve been getting my hair cut here for the past year and it’s been consistently great. Almost every stylist there has done a great job.
I used go to the on down the road but I got good and bad days depending on who was there but everyone at this location is great.
The wait can be quite long unfortunately. On a busy weekend expect to wait 30 min to 45 min for a walk in. They do have call in appointments.

Terrible wait, went in and was told to come back in an hour, so we did and then waited another twenty minutes on top of that before we gave up and walked out. That’s an hour and a half of my life I’ll never get back!

Donna cut my toddlers hair and she was absolutely amazing. My son was not enjoying himself and squirming all over the place but she was so patient and managed to cut his hair just the way I wanted it. And it only cost me $ 12.95 + tip which was still less than I’ve spent at the kid-​specific salons. They also had toys, suckers, and popcorn which helped distract my son. Will definitely be back.

First impression were good. Becca cut my hair and not only did he do a great job but she was very pleasant. The overall experience was very good. A slightly more expensive than I’m used to $ 16.99 for a standard cut but you do get a complimentary neck massage. There TVs everywhere so even if don’t want to converse with your barber you can watch ESPN. I definitely will go back.

I took my 15 month old son, who has a lot of hair. Natasja did an outstanding job and had all sorts of toys and even let him play with her phone! Great outcome for a reasonable price!

I can’t necessarily write a review based on my personal experience because this is where my husband gets his hair cut. I can say that the ladies in this Barbers do a great job with his hair. They are fairly busy but they manage to get through the people waiting in a quick and efficient manner. Keep up the good work, ladies!

First time in today and I was more then pleased. Natosja was awesome and did a great job on my hair! Friendly atmosphere and tv at every station. How can you go wrong with a beautiful lady cutting your hair and watching sports? I’ll definitely be back.

Was in Portland for Thanksgiving and needed at cut. Unilocaled and found this place. Had a great cut, shave, massage from Natasha. Very friendly, very professional… a very convenient set up with great service… fantastic!

I recently got the best haircut from Lori Lee since moving to Oregon in 2001. I’ve been told my hair is hard to cut because I have so many cowlicks and my hair is so thick, but Lori breezed through it.

It’s hard to get a good looking, military-​style flat top haircut in the peace-​nik Portland metro area. I used to go to the Sherwood Barbers where I’d had to train a gal over several years of getting my hair done «just right». Sadly, she moved on, and too far away.
I called this Barbers ahead of time to ask them if anyone could a decent flat top. April answers and said that Lori does several customer’s hair like, and that she would be my best bet. After finding out when Lori worked, made plans to come down.
Like any Barber’s, there’s soda and popcorn, lots of TV’s with ESPN on. It’s a new shopping center, so everything’s nice and clean. I managed to come in when they weren’t busy, and we were seen right away.
Lori is friendly and responsive to any comments to how you want your service. But most notable is that she’s FAST. Seriously fast. And not in a bad way.
When it was (quickly!) done, my hair was exactly as I’d requested, and just right!
I’ve found my new Barberess!

When I want a haircut, I want my hair to be about a ¼ of an inch in length. You’d think something like that would be pretty darn easy to do. Well, I’ve had some «Super» and some «Fantastic» haircuts that didn’t come close to how the «names» of the establishments suggest. One «Super» haircut was so bad, not only did I ask the girl to just shave my whole head after she had finished, my seven year old daughter screamed when she saw what the girl did. Lucky for me (and the girl who «attempted» to cut my hair) I know «hair will grow back».
With that said… I recently moved from Hawaii to Oregon. One month had passed and I needed to find a place to cut my hair. I should mention, prior to my move, I had been going to the same girl for over 25 years. I’ve had my share of bad haircuts.
I even toyed with the idea of buying my own razor and trying to cut my own hair. Why risk paying $ 15 for a not-​so-​Super haircut… Well, I was driving past «The Barbers» new location in Beaverton one day and saw a sign saying, «Men’s haircuts, $ 5». For $ 5, I don’t expect much and figured it couldn’t be as bad as the «Super» haircut which has since scarred my memory.
I took the risk and walked in one late morning. Being a new shop, in a new shopping center and during a weekday, I was the only patron. I was greeted by a friendly girl named April. April is in her early 20’s, so I «wrongly» assumed she was the hostess/​cashier (sorry April). I quickly learned, April was the one who would soon to be giving me a haircut. Hmmm…
Well, I sat down and April assessed my hair’s present state. As she ran her fingers through my hair, she asked a few questions. Within a minute, she confidently stated, «I can do that» in response to what my expectations were.
To make this long story short (er), April did a wonderful job! I will definitely go back to her again! My haircut wasn’t exactly how it usually looks, but it was more than «close enough». I’ve sure in my next visit or two, I will be 5-​star pleased with my haircuts.
April mentioned the regular price of haircuts will be $ 15.99 once the Grand Opening special price ends. Well worth it for me! The price includes vacuuming your hair from your neck and shirt and a short vibrating massage. I think I can do without the massage, but I’m no fool (in this case at least) — I will sit back and enjoy it.
