Tri-City Barber College

I got my hair dyed and it was awesome and I will be back! Manda was great to me and I love my hair!! The price was perfect and I love that I don't have to sacrifice quality for great service to get what I want.

Great barber shop for a walk-in haircut that is cheap. As many other reviews mention, your quality of haircut will be a hit or miss depending on the students ability, but the instructor verifies your haircut before you leave.I would absolutely come here again, can't beat $7 unless you're out there measuring your hair to the millimeter.

If you're looking for more than just a haircut, if you're looking for a civically responsible and meaningful Louisville experience then there is no better place than Tri-City Barber College.I have been getting my hair cut here since I discovered it. The people are wonderful. While it is an educational training ground (a great positive in my book), no one will let you out of the building without at least a decent haircut. Personally, I have had some of the best haircuts of my life here. Also, I have certainly had the cheapest haircuts of my life here. In exchange, I have tipped well. Please do the same!

Great educator. Great environment. Couldn't ask for more. Really cares about the forefront of barbering and owner Steve is on his feet 24/7 helping and doing whatever it takes to make you succeed. He is there every waking day. A great man with an even greater sense of humor. You almost don't want to miss a day of school because these people are your friends and this place becomes your home. Couldn't say better things about this place. Love the area, everything about it is just so great. You're lucky if you get to go here. A very motivating environment that prepares you to fully take the board. I won't give away his secrets but what he's got going for him is magic and you'd be in great hands. And when you graduate, Steve makes you feel like the world revolves around you. He makes you feel like you actually accomplished something. Because you did! He doesn't just shove you out the door with a piece of paper and let you get your last couple hours in. He, and the students are a very eclectic and kind bunch. He doesn't take just anyone. But keep in mind, he could.

The owner Steve is a super nice and personable guy. There are 25+ barbers here on a given day. Ranging from they've never done a haircut to nearly graduated and ready to go into a shop full time. It's a crap shoot if you don't already have a barber in mind. You can't beat the prices ($6 for a cut, $3 for a straight shave), but do keep in mind the services are performed by students. If you find a student that is motivated, works hard, and does a good haircut you will get an extremely professional and discounted haircut until they graduate. Would recommend to someone that is not overly picky about their hair.

This place is hit or miss, as in a HUGE hit or a BIG miss. You assume that risk when you come here- these are students, and they are all on different parts of their barber-journeys. This place always seems to be busy, and the hours are kind of inconvenient if you work a typical 9-5 job. You walk in and take a seat, and someone will ask you who you'd like to see, or what service you're needing. As a barber college, obviously they cater to men, but also are trained to work on women, and that includes color and waxing services. On my first visit I was put with a girl who was days away from graduating, who gave me one of the coolest haircuts ever (a designed shaved into my nape undercut) and did a great job coloring my hair- she even styled it afterwards! All of this for less than $30! I couldn't wait to come back and get my undercut touched up after it grew out. But my experience the next time was much different. The guy cutting my hair assured me he was confident in doing designs but ended up majorly screwing up my hair, and gave me really gnarly razor burn on top of it. I wouldn't let that scare you away, though. This place is all about finding someone you are comfortable with. My husband always has his hair cut by the same guy, and it is legit the best haircut he's ever had. Don't be afraid of watching people to see who you feel confident about, and requesting them. Also feel free to ask the other students who is best at what, they're honest. The haircuts are $6! If you're like me, and get really excited about getting a good deal, it's worth the gamble. Hair shmair, it'll always grow back!

Terrible service and the barber was only seven days out from being on his own came in to get a beard trim and dude messed it all up and couldn't even do a simple neck trim cut me all up. And the owners son try to defend this kind of work.

Went for something new. All haircuts get doubled checked but the barber I had, Whitty, had done a great job. Thank you all!
