Chuck Simon’s Barber Shop

Chuck is probably the nicest, gentlest barber I’ve ever met. He was attentive and considerate. He also seemed to really want to do great work, which is a rarity. I also loved my cut!

I visited Chuck’s for the first time today after hearing some great things about it. These guys were incredibly friendly and Alex did an excellent job with my haircut. Chuck was preparing a Spotify playlist for one of his regulars who came in and sat down and everybody was talking and having a good time the entire time that I was in there.
Chuck’s has that wonderful old-​fashioned barber shop feel where you enjoy visitinf with the guy cutting your hair.

I’ve been coming to Chuck’s for a couple of years now to get my hair cut. I love the old, scrappy barbershop look/​building. It is off a busy N. Druid Hills Road, but is easily spotted with their large barbershop swirl out front.
Alex has been cutting my hair regularly now, and does an excellent job. Everyone is very friendly, their prices are great, wait time usually short… what else can you ask for? It is the only place I go to get my hair cut in Atlanta.

What a very friendly group of people! I showed up on a Saturday morning near open and there was no wait. This is a simple and plain barber shop, nothing more or less, which is exactly what I loved about it. It took a little while to realize that the cut wasn’t exactly as short as I wanted it, but I was very happy nonetheless. My favorite thing was that this small-​time old school barbershop took plastic! We spoke a few moments on the benefits of using Square.
Place can be hard to find, but when you do it’s quite worth it.

Chuck Simon’s Barber Shop is incredible and I’m embarrassed that it’s taken me this long to write a revew! I’ve been going there for what seems like 10 years now after my Dad told me about it, and I have continued to go there as I have moved around Atlanta regardless of whether it takes me 5 minutes or 35 to get there. Chuck himself is the friendliest guy and he seems to know and take personal interest in each and every one of his customers which is such a rarity in this day-​and-​age! The prices are very reasonable, in line with most all of the mega chains, but with a level of service and consistency that I could never find at one of those places.
Just a word of caution/experience…all of the barbers do great work, but Chuck is the best. All of them will cut your hair exactly as you want it, but Alex does have a tendency to cut short so pay attention if you get him. I personally have started loving Alex since I changed my hair style to a tight fade which he does very well, but when I used to like to keep a little length I always had to tell him to use one guard higher than I actually wanted and it turned out perfect.

For a cheap, good kid haircut solution, look no further than Ms. Faith at Chuck Simon’s Barber Shop. She’s a hidden gem for $ 14. She recently started working there after running her own kids hair salon on Roswell Rd. in Buckhead for 10 years. She almost went to work for Salon Red Kids but opted for a setting with less stimulation (just an old fashioned shop and a toy train that circles the shop) and no retail responsibilities. She’s off Tu and Wed but works Thurs-​Mon. She was great with my 4 and 6 year old, had fun hair accessories for my daughter, and gave both kids great cuts with no wait (lollipops and toys after the cuts as well with parents’ permission). I think the place primarily takes walk ins. It’s not a fancy place by any means, but nice people.

Stopped into Chuck Simon’s Barber Shop based on the reviews here on Unilocal already. What a find – great conversation with Chuck, great haircut, great price. It was clear everyone working, arriving and leaving was part of a real community surrounding the barbershop. Highly recommended and now I know where I’ll be getting my hair cut any time I’m in ATL.

I tried Chuck Simon’s Barber Shop for the first time today, based on the other Unilocal reviews. They were spot on!
Alexander cut my hair, based on 4-​year-​old photo of myself that I showed him on my phone. He nailed it within about 20 minutes. Plus, Alex is a very nice guy and very interesting to talk to.
I will definitely be a repeat customer!

I’ve been going to Chuck’s for a few months now. Multiple people there have cut my hair but Alexandr has done an exceptional job. The place has a small town vibe in the city. Everyone is very friendly and it’s a much better experience than the huge chains.

I discovered Chuck’s through the weekly email Unilocal sends out and decided to give it a try based on the stellar reviews. I ended up getting the best haircut I’ve had in 10 to 12 years at the most affordable price ever, $ 16. I’ve been twice now and both times I’ve walked in on a Friday afternoon and hopped into Alex’s chair without a wait. Fantastic.
My previous place had a clubby atmosphere with about 10 barbers and you needed to make a reservation two or three days out just to get in. That’s not this place. There’s not a hipster bone in this joint but man do they know how to cut hair. You’ve got to check it out.

Clean, personal and definitely worth it. They know what they’re doing. Cheap too! Husband had cut beard and mustache trim and turned out great. They really listen.

Just got a quick, clean and precise head shave from Alex! Hot lather and straight edge… just the way I like it. Only thing missing was a good head massage after the shave.
And it turns out my dad is also a customer here and friend’s with Alex. Thanks so much for helping me get ready for my buddy’s big day Alex!

My first time in, I called ahead to see how long the wait was. When I got there it ended up being longer than expected. The owner was so nice and remembered that I called ahead. he offered to give me a haircut for free because of my wait. I didn’t take it but that’s authentic generosity.
The lady who cut my hair also did a great job and cut my hair exactly as requested.

I started coming here when I moved down to Atlanta 2 ½ years ago because I was just looking for a simple haircut — I’m a pretty low maintenance guy when it comes to my hair. This is a great old style barber shop.
I usually just walk-​in; sometimes I have to sit and wait for a 5 – 10 minutes when it’s busy, but I’ve never had a problem with the wait.
I’ve had everyone here cut my hair and am happy each time. Everyone takes the time to listen to what you want and work with your barber as you go if you see something. Conversation is always great; sometimes when I’m tired or just in a quieter mood, they respect you as well and don’t pester you with too much small talk either.
Price is great. They bumped it up 1 whopping dollar to $ 16 … if you have a problem with that, then maybe this place isn’t the right place for you.
Would definitely recommend if you’re just looking for a no-​frills, happy, easy haircut. Keep it up Chuck!

I have a penchant for old style Barber shops, and when I found Chuck’s place on North Druid Hills 10+ years ago, I knew my hair had found a home. Chuck takes his time to learn what your likes and dislikes are, and he carefully crafts a precision cut for you every time, just like professionals at an old time Barber Shop used to do (you never feel rushed). Also, Chuck still ends the cut with a hot lather shave on my neck, which is a great feeling and great ending to a cut.
For a wonderful traditional cut and always great conversation and atmosphere, Chuck’s can’t be beaten. I live in Roswell and pass hundreds of places to get my hair cut in Decatur. ‘Nuff said. Chuck and his team are great. My hair’s home is in Decatur.

Friendly, fast, authentic and always a great conversation. Chuck takes care of his clients and always has a smile on his face! I like coming here because I am always happy with my haircut. Highly recommended
:-)

I was very impressed by the attentiveness of Chuck (who I chatted with about the Falcons game) and Alex (who did the actual haircut).
I don’t have a super complex haircut but my hair is pretty wavy and Alex did a great job of managing that while trimming everything to my satisfaction. $ 15 was a fair price to pay; I will be coming back again.

Great barber shop. No-​frills, but you get exactly what you need. The prices are very reasonable and even though they have to raise prices slightly in 2015 the owner is kind enough to post a sign saying that the folks have challenged budgets he’s willing to try to accommodate them. I think if you can get a great haircut for under $ 20 in Atlanta in 2015, you’re pretty lucky. Great service, quick turn-​around with little waiting, and they’re open on Sunday too? See you again soon, Chuck.

Chuck’s Barber Shop deserves another review & 5 stars from me. Alex always cuts my hair and does a fantastic job. At my last visit, we had a minor miscommunication and Chuck refused to take my money for the haircut. Now that’s what I call superior customer service! I’ll be back soon to see Alex & Chuck.

Found on Unilocal,just moved to the area and super happy to gave found my barber for the men in the family! Just the type of place I like.
