“Great location, atmosphere, and outstanding service. Best fade I've had in Ithaca — clean, sharp, exactly what I asked for.”
“Very chill environment and friendly staff. Walked in on a Saturday and was out 40 minutes later looking fresh.”
“Brought my son for his first real haircut. Patient, kind, and the result was perfect. We'll be regulars.”
“Hot towel shave is worth every penny. Felt like a proper ritual, not just a service. Highly recommend.”
“Got my first haircut in a while with some sort of vision in mind. The barber, Ray, was very friendly and did an awesome job! He checked in with me mid way to make sure if I liked it or wanted to make any changes. Very chill environment and friendly staff. Thank you!”
“Tony and Mike were so awesome and my husband and son's haircuts came out amazing! The shop has a great atmosphere and doesn't feel intimidating at all, (like some other barber shops). My husband and son are excited to go back for their next cut!”
“I recommended my friend to Aloe to Visit Britain. He was super happy when he came back from the barber shop. He was able to tell Britain exactly what he was looking for a complete transformation, He knocked it out of the park. Great Job Britain, I'll be seeing you soon for my transformation. Great shop, Great group of guys, just all around Good Vibes!!!”
