Buffalo Trim

Everything you could want in a haircut place. Really nice looking studio, loaded with TVs showing whatever sports are going on that day. The girls that work there are consistently friendly and do a nice job. Quick and reasonably priced.

They don’t accept American Express. I had to wait nearly 10 minutes to speak to someone to find that out.

Never going here again. $ 24 for a haircut and a beard trim. She cut half my mustache off when i said just to tidy it up. This was my second time and I should’ve learned my lesson the first time.

I wouldn’t say $ 15 is a decent price for a 10 second long haircut, especially when you don’t look much different than you did when you came in. But then again, I’m not a guy, and I have higher expectations when getting my own hair done. But still a bit pricey for the time taken.
Most of the stylists over the times do know what they’re doing for the most part. And sometimes the cuts come out better than the other times but we’ve had ⁵⁰⁄₅₀ luck between the 2 locations.
But the interior is cool. Sports themed. Definitely designed for a guy. The wait usually isn’t very long at all and you can just walk in without an appointment. But if for some reason there is a small wait you can always hang out with your buddies and play some pool.

After leaving my long time hair cut place recently I was looking for a place that I could just walk in rather than making appointments. A friend suggested Buffalo Trim. I have to say I was a little hesitant at first because I thought it was one of these «Hooters» hair salons that get you in with hot women who don’t know the first thing about cutting hair. I’m happy to say I was way off.
After a quick check in using their computer system my name was called before I even sat down to wait. That already won me over seeing as that’s one of the reasons I left my old salon (too many long waits).
Each time I’ve gone back the haircut is perfect, the girls are very friendly and professional and you can’t beat the price ($ 14 for the basic). They do offer a straight razor neck shave for an additional $ 4. I decided against it as I don’t have a ton of neck hair. The clippers were more than adequate.
Not only do they do a great job on my hair, we recently took my 15 month old son there for his first cut. Sarah did a great job at keeping him calm while she did the cut.

$ 14 for a cut and completely worth it. My hair is kind of weird (for lack of a better term) and it took a while to find someone who could cut it the way I want. Megan is awesome. She is the only one I let cut my hair and I’ve never been anything but super happy with it. I can’t really speak for the other girls, but it looks like they all do a great job from what I can tell.
It’s clean, nicely decorated, never too long of a wait and the stylists seem chatty enough to be friendly but not annoying. Highly recommend it.

The decore feels welcoming and warm. I arrived around 3:30 and there was no wait. It takes about 10 seconds to check in on their computer system, during which you can select your preferred stylist or choose to wait for the next open chair. Their computer does hide the receptionist a little, an iPad/​tablet system would be a nice upgrade.
My stylist was Nicole. She was energetic, friendly, welcoming, and a good conversationalist, even before we got started. I got a basic cut for $ 14. She professionally mixed a combination of trimmers and scissors to satisfy my needs. She cut with speed that I am not accustomed to from the usual old time barbers I hunt down. It felt rushed at first but then I realized how comfortable she was with her skills and precision. I like an uncomplicated, product-​free cut, and she nailed it. Thanks Nicole!
The back of my neck was trimmed and not shaved. I’m not sure if the latter is an option. I do prefer having it shaved with a straight razor as it comes out feeling cleaner. Although that feeling only lasts for a day so I am not complaining. But I will enquire about this option on my next visit.
I was really happy with my cut and the service. I would not accept any change back. Nicole deserved every penny. A lot of places can do my simple cut, few engage me and are so welcoming. I’ll be back for sure!

Visit this place only if you want to watch TV (especially when a game is on). Seems they invested more on décor than the hair cutting service. Stay away if you want a haircut. Avoid Sarah.

Yesterday was my first time here. I found this place on Unilocal and wanted to give it a try. When I first walked in, the location looked nice. I came pretty early so I didn’t need to wait. There were TVs on every cutting station so that was another way to be kept entertained while getting a cut. I usually go to an Asian salon, close to my house, so I wasn’t sure what number my barber used. My stylist was pretty nice and her voice was welcoming! She kept checking up on me to see if the cutting was good or not which is a good thing even though you might find it annoying. The cutting came out pretty good in my opinion. She took her time and made sure both sides were even. The total price for my cut was $ 14. I never got a $ 14 haircut before so this will be my first time lol & I would say it was worth it. However, when I went home I looked closely in the mirror & realized I should’ve asked to cut it shorter because my hair grows pretty quick. That’s my fault though. All in all, if you’re a male and need a haircut you can try Buffalo Trim!

For over a year now Buffalo Trim has been my place to get my wig tuned. The stylists are all very professional and friendly, and the service is prompt.

I have been going to buffalo trim since it opened, I was tired of going to super cuts and getting a different level of service each time. The location and service is outstanding and so are the prices. Oh and the hot towel neck shave is where its at! Be sure to visit Ashley, she is the best!

I have to drive about 25 minutes to get to Buffalo Trim, whereas a Lady Janes (to compare another «Men’s Salon») is about 2 minutes from where I live.
Why do I drive so much more just to get a haircut? Is it because I have incredibly complex hair and I need a specific stylist? Not even close. To me Buffalo Trim is just a much more pleasant experience than other places in the area.
The whole ambiance just does it for me. It has that «Man Cave» stuff like the multiple TVs set to ESPN, the pool table, and the Buffalo Sports memorabilia on the wall, but it doesn’t feel like it’s just there to complete a fascade like at Lady Janes for example. It also feels a bit more rustic with exposed wood and rafters.
The stylists are great too. I’ll admit I have no idea what to ask for in a haircut. I basically say to the stylist «the canvas is yours» and they have no problem just getting to work. They stop throughout the cut to see if it’s looking alright and take the time to be sure you’re satisfied. I’m not saying that is unique to the stylists at Buffalo Trim but there are certainly some places where they just cut and cut and in the end you hope you like it.
They have different tiered haircuts as well. You can get a regular cut for around $ 12 or $ 15 I think, but they also have packages that include shampoo, a neck massage and shave, eyebrow trimming, beard trimming, etc.
I’ve had the deal that’s been on Living Social a couple times which includes the shampoo and neck massage and shave. It’s a nice touch, though if I have to criticize there is a difference between a neck rub and a neck massage and this would lean more towards the rub (but now I’m being nit-​picky).
Overall I’m a big fan of Buffalo Trim. If you’re in the area then this should be your new place for a haircut. If you’re within a 30 minute drive (which means pretty much anywhere in the Buffalo area) then keep an eye out for another Living Social or similar deal and give them a shot. Remember it’s just hair, it grows back if you don’t like it.

Buffalo Trim is located in the new-​ish business development on N. French near Tops. I really like the style of that strip, it’s very enticing to enter but unfortunately there aren’t a ton of places worth checking out. Luckily, Buffalo Trim is one of them.
I’ve never had one set place to get my hair cut, so as a result, I’ve had a chance to try many places in the Buffalo and WNY area. Chains, local shops, barbers, and yes, even a few salons. Buffalo Trim is the type of place that makes you feel quite unmanly to go to a standard salon. Not only for the difference in styling, atmosphere and stigma, but also for the price you pay at a salon vs Buffalo trim. I think I paid about 12 – 14 for just a cut with nothing extra, which is a pretty standard price to me. But lets visit that whole manly part again…
So yes, like a few other hair places that have popped up recently, Sports Clips and Lady Jane’s come to mind, Buffalo trim is 100% geared toward men. The place has a real whiskey lounge feel, without the whiskey or cigars. The billiard table is a nice touch, but of the three times I’ve been there I’ve never had to wait more than half a minute. Although, I have been there when a father and his two sons were all asking for the same stylist, in which case it was a nice distraction for them as they waited. There are also quite a few HDTVs usually showing a slew of sports news and highlights from ESPN.
As you walk in, there is a large TV acting as a computer monitor facing you on the reception desk, waiting for you to sign in. It even allows you to select a specific stylist from the ones on staff at the moment with their picture, in case you don’t remember your stylist’s name (or if you just want to pick the cutest one). Needless to say, walk-​ins are very welcome.
As for the haircut you receive, I think this is hard to comment on because depending on your directions to a stylist versus your expectations when you walk in, I’m sure you could manage to be disappointed in your cut. I, however, have been very happy with my trim each time I’ve visited. The stylists ask good prompting questions to customize your cut, and even after just one visit, the stylist recalled the basic look I was going for from the previous trip. Finally, I know they offer a hot lather shave or something along those lines, which I can’t yet comment on as I haven’t asked for one yet. I generally shave every day for work, but I would like to try this at some point and will update you all when I do. Or, feel free to beat me to it and post your findings soon!

This is a new establishment just off Transit road across from Tops in a retail/​residential space. I’ve seen this hair concept in rochester, and buffalo but it’s new to East Amherst. It’s a hair salon geared soley to males and boys, sorry ladies!
Right after walking in, I saw a pool table to my right, and some leather seating chairs to my left. Fortunately, and unfortunately there was no wait, so I didn’t get to chance to play pool or shot some darts. I was immediately greeted and prompted to sign in via a computer.
The salon was nicely decorated with deep browns and reds throughout. The place just oozed Buffalo with 97 rock on in the background, and signed pictures of players from the famous Buffalo Bills Super Bowl era.
I happen to come in on a Saturday and was in a rush for an event later that evening. The TV at each hair cutting station was super key, so I could catch some NCAA football! The hair dresser even let me change the channel to the better game, and angled my chair so I was right in front of the TV (such an American thing to say, I know)!
They say it’s a salon, and it definitely has an upscale feel to it, no doubtly to cater to the well-​off East Amherst folks. I’ve always been looking for a regular hair dresser, but never seem to like one. I’ve figured out that Super Cuts just isn’t for me, I’d rather pay a bit for a better cut. But at the same time, I didn’t want to spend $ 25 for a haircut every month (sorry, just not worth it) So when the big sign out front proclaimed the $ 13 for a men’s haircut, it was the match made in heaven! The cut was above average, but the ambiance, price, and individualized tv put it over the top! Definitely will return again.
