Hands-down the best barbershop in town. The guys are great and theres a really cool chemistry in the building. Tim is awesome and nails my cut every time!

Great place for a haircut. Its a little pricy but the quality is unmatched. The barbers are all friendly, accommodating, and sociable. They are typically booked far in advance so you will definitely want to schedule before you need a haircut.

One morning I had forgotten that I had an appointment at the Black Comb that i had scheduled 4-5 weeks prior. I had picked up another shift at work so was unable to make it when notified that I had missed the appointment. Understandably, Jon asked me to be courteous of showing up for scheduled appointments. I then apologized and told him that I had forgotten, and it should have ended there. He proceeded to email me back telling me that reminders are sent out the day before and the day of appointments. I sent back that I had not received any form of a reminder whether through email or phone. He continued to proceed to confront me and sent me a screenshot of my appointment time and date, telling me “i don’t know what to tell you but you scheduled yourself”, in which i had already acknowledged and apologized for missing. I once again emailed him saying that I understood, but again did not receive any form of a reminder, and to potentially check to see if that system was working. He continued to email me back telling me that he “didn’t know what to tell me, the system is working and everyone else showed up for their appointments”. A very unprofessional and confrontational way to approach an honest mistake(in which i really did receive nothing), and I hope that he doesn’t confront all paying customers like that. I will definitely not be returning for any haircuts at the Black Comb.

Jon and company are simply the best in the area. Their success and reputation can make it challenging to book an appointment in the immediate future. I’ve been coming to them for years and can say no matter who you book with you will have an excellent haircut and great conversation. The shop is clean and wonderfully decorated.

This place is great! The quality of the cuts are top level. The barbers all have unique specialties and personalities. In all, it’s an eclectic environment with an equally eclectic and diverse staff. I look forward to my visits by myself or with my son. A traditional barber experience.

The Black Comb is THE place to get your hair cut down town. Great barbers, great atmosphere. Sit down and relax with a beer and get an excellent haircut from any of the guys in there. They are appointment only, so make sure you book a slot!

This is the place you want to go. I started my adventure here with Tim. Great guy, everyone is outgoing and they make you feel like theyve known you for years.The work they do is fantastic. Even took my 5 year old kid there for his first grown up haircut. He loved it.

If you go there and give them money, they will cut your hair. Great deal in my opinion.

First time getting my beard shaped up since I grew it out. New to Lancaster and didn’t even know exactly what to ask for. Eddie took great care of me and now I didn’t even know my beard could look this good. Vibe in the place was super cool. Enjoyed the conversations. Won’t go anywhere else now. 👍🏼👌🏼

I make the trek from Harrisburg to Lancaster about once a month to visit The Black Comb for a cut and a beard trim. The guys here are super friendly, Ive never had a bad cut, and the atmosphere is laid back and super chill.Book an appointment, grab a brew once you arrive, and enjoy a fresh cut.

Ive been going to this shop for little over a year or so now. Its a great place to get a haircut. All of the barbers are awesome, theyre very chill and friendly. They remember who their clients are and things about them, which makes the experience more personal. They offer local beer and soda while you wait too which is cool. Its a shop that fits everone.

Review №31

Ive had a great experience every time Ive gone to the Black Comb. The only reason I couldnt rate it 5 stars is that it is nearly impossible to get an appointment without planning a month in advance. I recognize that is my own problem ... I tend to be a little more spontaneous in my need for a haircut.

Best barber shop ever. Every one will cut a mean head of hair. Convenient to schedule online. Great atmosphere. Ample parking on street and at nearby garage. Solid selection of local craft brews if thats your thing (locally made soda if its not) while you wait. Book early and book often. But leave me some slots to choose from please!

Review №33

I have had Drew cut my hair and trim my beard numerous times and not once have I walked away upset. The Black Comb is by far the coolest shop around and everyone there is super friendly. Always look forward to getting my hair cut and shooting the breeze with the guys. Would give more stars if I could! To anyone saying the price is a little high, I would pay the extra to have the experience you get from the Black Comb any day!

Review №34

Excellent! Ive been getting my hair cut at the Black Comb for the last couple of years and have never been disappointed. I look forward to getting there a few minutes early and enjoying a beer from the fridge and chatting. A few times my regular (Jonathan) has had a full schedule and Ive scheduled with another, and Ive always been pleased. These are quality cutters, but also personable, friendly, and laid-back guys. Highly recommend this place.

Review №35

Consistently the best haircut around. Ive been going here for about three years now. All the guys in this shop know what theyre doing. Its a fun atmosphere to hang around when getting trimmed and complimentary beer never hurts.

BEST BARBERS IN THE NORTHEAST! Ive been going to John and the Black Comb for 4 plus years. I never leave without an on point hair and beard cut. John makes it a point to know his clients, I swear he knows 99% of his clients by their first name. Parking near the shop is easy, a great location downtown. Highly recommended. Love these guys!

When looking for a new barber, I decided to try The Black Comb based solely on the numerous positive reviews. I was not disappointed and will be going back for as long as Im in the area. The guys here strike a perfect balance between professional and laid-back. Oftentimes, going to a new place like this can be nerve-wracking as you know no one and have no idea what the environment will be like. You dont have to worry about that with The Black Comb. As soon as I walked in, they let my girlfriend and I know we could grab a beer from the fridge and have a seat while we waited. While we drank our cold beer (they also have a non-alcoholic option), they did a great job of including us in the ongoing conversation, making it feel less like a random, new business I was trying and more like a friends house I happened to be getting my hair cut at.As for the haircut itself, I booked Cameron Arabi simply because he had space in his schedule. I had absolutely no idea how I wanted my hair cut. I told him to give me something modern and clean. Even with such little direction, he delivered exactly that. If youre a guy looking for a change, but have no idea what you want, definitely try this place. As I waited for my turn, I watched each of the barbers give guys haircuts/styles Id be happy to have. This isnt a place thats going to just buzz the sides, trim the top and shove you out the door. They take their time and make sure youre satisfied with how its turning out, all while providing a comfortable environment.If youre reading this review, I highly recommend trying The Black Comb!

Fantastic barber shop with a really unique and friendly staff. I didnt know much hair style terminology, but they are really friendly and work with your idea. Always come outta there looking spiffy. The shop itself is also filled with a bunch of cool stuff and there are free beverages!

Review №44

Ive been seeing Cameron for a while now. I highly recommend getting your haircut here. If youre looking for a barber that has an attention to detail then look no further. They are also the best with beards and it doesnt hurt that theres a free beer with your haircut.

I have been going here since they were on N. Duke and only two chairs. Jon (the owner) is so nice and the whole crew is always welcoming and up for a good joke. Growing up in the punk/music scene it’s a perfect fit. Do note it is appointment only for those who’ve never been.

Awesome well ran establishment with professional staff. Environment is a mix between old school tattoo shop and barber shop. Love the interactions of the staff, the banter is entertaining and inclusive. They make you feel like you are just hanging out with friends at the coolest place in town. Great hair cut at reasonable prices.

Great group of guys here. Very welcoming, and always a place of laughter and jokes. You pay for the service, and its worth every penny. Free brews and soda is a nice touch, but is merely the cherry on top of what is already a great value.

Review №49

Without a question the best barber shop in town. Every seat was filled because the barbers genuinely love their craft and no one wants a day off. Eddie cut my hair, happened to be 1st barber who had earliest opening, and cut my hair the best anyone has ever done before. He will cut my hair until I leave lancaster or he opens his own shop outside of lancaster

The Black Comb is the absolute jewel of barber shops in Lancaster, PA. Great vibe, friendly and welcoming staff, free beverages. I mean come on you cant beat that. Above all the pure craftsmanship that these barbers have is impeccable. You just cant match the quality of the haircuts this place gives. Well worth it and I will continue to go here as long as I live in the area.

Review №52

Went in with no plan, and scruffy hair and beard. Came out looking like a model ... from the neck up!! Thanks Drew. Wife says it is best haircut I have had in three years. The atmosphere was great, and the conversational style of the entire group is reminiscent of the old school barber shop where everyone knew everyone or quickly grows to know everyone. The free beer definitely helped the short wait and the embrace of technology for scheduling appointments is great. And if you have never had a hot towel and straight razor shave you should. I guess the best statement is that I will no longer be going anywhere else.

The Black Comb is a modern barber shop with traditional class and style. A great experience that is much more than just your run-of-the-mill hair cut. Very friendly service that caters to men, women, and children. Added benefit of an easy to use website and online scheduling.

Finally went here after hearing all the hype.They gave good hair cuts, but I hope every barber does. I just thought it was so hyped up and over priced for a hair cut. I can get a haircut (with a full beard trim and shape up) done for 1/3 the price and just as good at another barber. I just hope everyone isn’t trying to be all hipster that they don’t evaluate a place for its service.In response to owner.I hope that doesn’t offend you that I don’t think my hair cut was worth as much as I paid. Whether that’s the skill of the one person who did the cut or your whole shop, only you would know that. I evaluated your shop for the rep it’s had. When I went, It didn’t live up to what a lot of people say. I don’t see what a $15 dollar drink in NYC has anything to do with the credibility of my review.

I had my first haircut here 12/20/18 from Eddie and got the best haircut and beard trim since moving back to the States from Peru in early January 2018, where mens hair is an important facet of day to day life and barbers are an integral part of a neighborhoods structure.

Got my hair cut for the 1st time at this place this weekend. Best barbershop ever. They did such a good job that this 33 year old trucker dad was dropping pantys all night downtown. For real, I would walk by some chick and her pants would develop a wet spot! These guys get it done. Wanna get laid? Then get your hair cut here!
