Paragon is awesome. Good haircuts, cheap, and a totally odd, yet cool vibe.

This is the best best barber shop in Portland. I’ve never been disappointed in my haircut or service. A lot of barbers/stylist struggle with fading hair but you will not be disappointed at Paragon. $ 15/cut is more than fair especially knowing that you will be satisfied walking out. Free WiFi and TV if you are waiting.

This is a pretty straightforward barbershop and at $ 15 for a haircut the price is right. It’s a small place. There’s just a single chair. I showed up, sat down, and waited my turn. The barber worked quickly, so the wait wasn’t too long even though there were three guys ahead of me. She cut my hair the way I asked her to and she did it efficiently. I was also able to watch the large tv through the mirror while getting my haircut. That was a new experience. Overall, I can’t complain. This is going to be my regular spot.

I believe that Paragon Barber Shop was Bob’s Barber Shop until recently, and when you walk in there you get the impression that the new owner, a middle-aged woman who speaks limited English, slapped some new signage on the place and moved in as-is. The interior is decorated with military hats and faded posters, and when I arrived the owner was watching a subtitled movie on her laptop. An interesting mix. Regardless, I sat down for my cut and decided to get a «high and tight.» She did a good job, but didn’t pay too much attention to the details. She worked pretty quickly, and before I knew it I was out in the world with a fresh doo. The cut cost $ 15. I’m going to go back again sometimes soon to get a more consistent judgement, but if you’re looking for a cut and are willing to take a chance, this place is worth a shot.
