The Barber Shock, Philadelphia PA

Been going for almost a year I believe. Best spot for haircuts in the neighbourhood. Mike is one of the best barbers I know, vibes are always good when I go there.

Absolutely the best barbershop in Philly! Been a client for almost 9 years now and nothing less of next level customer service, exceptional attention to detail and always improving himself in different ways to be better which ends up making you look better

Mike is a fantastic barber. Social, easy to have a conversation with while also getting a great cut. Cuts the BEST fades in the city!

Best fade in the city, was paying way more for less quality before. Shock has his certification and a simple to use scheduling platform.

If you're in Philly, get your cut from Shock!

Mike is excellent! He will never keep you waiting for an appointment, very conversational, reasonable prices and gives awesome cuts every time. It’s also super easy to schedule an appointment online and you will get reminders texted directly to you. 10/10 recommend!

Mike is a super nice guy who makes you feel at home in his barber shop and who goes above and beyond to provide the best service possible.

Lets get real: there are hundreds of options to get a haircut or salon service in Philly, there are none like Mike S. He takes the utmost attention to detail, is the friendliest during service and has great pricing. His shop and services are always growing and he does the best fades in Philly. His color service is 10/10 as well, bleached and colored my hair and does an amazing job. Highly recommend.

I have consistently been coming to Mike for 5 years now and I continue to become more impressed every single time. From business development, to education, Mike makes every move with the intention of better serving his clientele. His welcoming personality, ability to connect, and skillset to always give you the haircut you imagine is why I have remained faithful over the years.

First time going to this shop. I was looking for a new barber because all the other shops I’ve been to eventually get too expensive and stop offering good service after awhile because they’re just trying to churn customers. Coming to this shop, I immediately could tell the owner, Mike, made this business because it’s his real passion. While I was waiting for my turn in the chair, I noticed he even cut several other different types of men’s hair who had different types of hairstyles, which was the most impressive part. Overall, Mike’s shop is classy, convenient, fair in price, and he’s a great conversationalist. He even went as far as to ask how my booking experience was and how he could improve. I’d recommend his services to anyone

For the last 5 years, Mike has been my go-to barber. He's friendly, easy-going, and most importantly gets my hair exactly the way I want it. I've never left unhappy with my hair.

His professionalism, consistency, and drive makes his service so valuable to Philly. Don't hesitate to book.

Was new to the Philadelphia area about a year ago and I tried a bunch of different barbers and could not seem to find the right one. A friend recommended Shock to me and it has been great. The best barber in the area hands down. Great Hours. Great Service. Great Hospitality. Great Cut. Great Price. Get your hair cut here.

The cut is absolutely fire. Mike is both professional and friendly during the whole thing and makes people at ease even if you hadn’t met him before. I’ve been recommending him to friends for a couple years now and he always gets repeat customers. Always has sports on and you don’t get that feeling of being another person to get through like you can at big shops. He’s super detail oriented & if you’re looking for your go-to barber you found him for real.

I've been getting my hair cut by Mike since my freshman year of college (2014) when he was charging $5 in a dorm room. Now, fast forward to 2022, and he has his own beautiful space and business. It's truly amazing to see.

Aside from being a quality human and worthy of this kind of loyalty, Mike is a beast with the scissors. Any style, any cut, he seems confident and knows what he is doing. There is nowhere else in Philadelphia you should get your hair cut. Amazing dude, great atmosphere in the shop and in a central location. Can't be beat. Thanks Mike, you're the man.

Mike is such a cool guy and hooks me up with a perfect fade every time at a great price, you really can’t go wrong! Highly recommend

First off the haircut is always fire, and you can get your hair dyed which will be 10 times better than anything you can do by yourself at home.
