Testimonials
"Best group of guys to cut hair anyone will give you a great cut"
Justin K

"I’ve grown up around the area and have been a long time customer to a few barbershops until I get fed up with barbers messing up my haircut. I know that frustration. At The Upgrade Barbershop , you’ll find that this establishment lives up the name. I’m pretty particular when it comes to my haircut, and I have not experienced that frustration here. Every barber here takes pride in their craft and it shows on everyone I’ve seen walk out with a fresh clean fade. I myself go Ray. You tell him what you want, he’ll deliver and make you laugh while sitting in his chair (Laughs are free of charge). To make an appointment use “The Upgrade” app (they have their own app!) and your all set. If you haven’t yet, give them a try."
