“ Update: I've been going to Troy on a monthly. He's consistent and I appreciate that about him. No stylist or cut quality roulette like at the chains. Interesting to talk with. I'm glad Troy cuts my hair. Charming one-chair shop with cool Cyclone decor. Very quick in and out. Great price. Great conversationalist. Will be back. ”
“ I went to Troy's yesterday for the first time. I have been going to the same barber in Grimes for over 20 years. Troy is awesome and have may given me the best haircut I have ever had. The only drawback was I had to go to the stick store to buy a stick, ya know to beat all the ladies off with. ”
“ Troy is a great barber. He has a policy of doing straight forward haircuts that can be done quickly with a minimal amount of fuss. If you want some specialized style of scissor cut, he is upfront and honest in recommending a different shop. He is friendly and honest, with competitive pricing. I will continue to use his shop as long as I am able. ”
“ I found Troy's Barber Shop to be very convenient, professional, and fun! My haircut was done timely and exceeded my expectations. Troy's service skills are to be commended. He made sure I was pleased with my haircut before leaving his shop. He earned my being a repeat customer. Thank you Troy! ”
“ I see there are some negative and some positive reviews. To be honest, it was my first choice for haircuts when I first came USA. The quality of the cuts are awesome, and before I got my first cut, He explained everything, like if You require to have fade or fancy cuts, this is not the place etc. His communication might seem awkward to some, I get it, but I believe he does an amazing job for haircuts for that price. I think Troy is so clear about his policies and always gives me the best cuts. ”
“ Been with Troy for 3 years now, and he’s been great! Always finds common interests with his customers, has consistent hours, & is efficient & solid. He has taken any feedback I’ve had over the years & really has a good handle on my cut. ”
“ I've been in Ames for two years now, and I had never been to Troy's Barber Shop. I always went to a value chain that attempts to crank through as many heads as fast as possible. I needed a good haircut because I am going to be in a wedding in a few days. For starters he began asking what I want in my haircut. After I gave him a rough idea, I asked him to just make it look good. Long story short great haircut, great guy, but if you have more hair, or need more than 30 min you need to call ahead and set a time for that on Saturday after 1:00. ”
“ I LOVE going to Troy's for a haircut! He is always friendly and full of interesting stories and anecdotes. His haircuts have always been great. I have never walked away unhappy with one of his haircuts.Troy always asks about the style of cut that I want before he starts, and Troy always pays special attention to the details. No other stylist or barber ever has shown the attention to detail that he displays. If I ever want something changed, he will take the time to fix it until I'm satisfied. The quality of service that you receive is easily worth the 15. ”
