Allen Ray Salon / James Irving Grooming (Uptown), Minneapolis MN

Wonderful local men's hairstyling. They are clean, cautious and creative. Cree does a great job on my hair. Highly recommended.

Good for simple hair styles.not the first choice for beard related, but not much choice downtown

Cool vibe and talented barbers. Got my hair cut at Floyd's and decided to try James Irving and enjoyed it much more. A few extra bucks, but it's worth it.

Cree is a phenomenal stylist and the James & Irving salon has great aesthetics. Cozy with an old school vibe!

A great atmosphere located in a great location. The barbers are very knowledgeable and down to earth. I recommend booking online as this is a very popular shop.

Good place, bad service, bad haircuts. Everybody was slow, unorganized and out of sorts, explained how I wanted my hair cut and it seemed as though the barber either did not understand or just did not pay any attention. Finished product was horrible, way overpriced. I’m never going back. If you want a haircut in this area please go support Glen’s Barber Shop on 36th I’ve never had a bad experience there! Tried multiple times to go elsewhere just because Glen’s chair is always so busy, and hours only work for me on Saturday’s, but every time I go elsewhere I immediately regret it. Don’t go to James Irving.

Cree does a great job. She's talented and precise. I switched over from Gents St. Paul, after some inconsistent cuts and I haven't looked back.

One of the best haircuts I've gotten. Ever. Lovely staff and great service. Would highly recommend Bethany. Also, the front desk person is probably the most helpful and nicest person I've ever met.

Been going to Cree for about 2 years - first at Great Clips and now at James Irving. Very impressed with James Irving after 6 visits. Excellent service, beautiful venue. Consider me a regular.

I definitely recommend coming here. It has a very relaxed, accepting, and warm atmosphere. The receptionist offered my boyfriend and I complimentary beverages - water, tea, coffee, beer - both times we visited, and made us feel welcome.

We both saw Drue for our haircuts, and she was amazing. Very knowledgeable, and I love how our haircuts turned out. She spends the last part of the haircut talking to you about what products are best for maintaining and styling your hair - not just their in-salon lines, but also inexpensive versions that you can buy at places like Target. The brands they do have in-house are very nice, though, if you want to go that route.

PS - a great place for fellow trans folks out there who want a good haircut, but are nervous about finding a chill place to go. Cannot recommend them enough.

These are the folks behind Winston's Barbershop, which was a great place. A simple, elegant interior with friendly (sometimes goofy, but in a good way) staff. Leather chairs, good music, coffee or beer if you want it. Some hair product but not overwhelming. The folks who actually cut your hair are phenomenal. They're professionals with years in the industry and, even better, are pretty great people with interesting stories to tell and a capacity for listening if you wan to share too. You're not just another head to cut, in other words.

I have been coming here for years! Eric does an amazing job and is just a great guy. Be sure to check them out!

This place is awesome! I have been going there since 2002 and seeing Eric through all its changes. Kyle is great too!

Fast, and awesome atmosphere. I've had Matt a couple times, as some guy. And able to see me last minute. Love the change from Winston's

Been coming here for years. Amazing barbers, great style, amazing atmosphere. You will not be disappointed with this place.

Been getting a cut from Eric for 15+ years (Schmidty’s Original). Great attention to detail at all times. The other stylists are consistently friendly and do great work, as well! I’ve seen many changes in ownership and care of the space throughout the years and definitely excited to hear about and see what’s in store for James Irving in the near future! *****

James Irving is a great place to get a haircut. Very inviting place. The staff is nice. Drue gives a great haircut and great advice to keep me looking great.

Tried this place after finding it on yelp, recently moved to the area and wanted somewhere close by. Had a cut and beard trim by Bethany, and both turned out great. I’ll definitely be going back.

Very happy to have found this place! Swanky waiting area, masculin vibe, super friendly staff. Ask for Bethany, she is the best! She gave me an amazing haircut and beard trim. She also offered a free shampoo and hot towel face treatment. It felt great and I left looking like a new man!

Kyle, Eric, and the rest of the crew are professionals. The atmosphere is relaxed and the music is always solid.
