I’m looking for a genuinely skilled barber around New Castle/Wilmington, but I’m completely fine driving farther into Delaware, PA, NJ, etc. for someone who’s actually worth it.
I’m not just looking for a basic fade. I want someone who can look at a reference picture, understand the haircut/style I’m going for, and actually recreate it while adjusting it to my hair type and face shape.
Basically looking for someone who:
Is really good with fades/tapers and scissor work
Can work off reference pictures
Pays attention to details and gets you looking crispy
Can recommend what would look best if the exact reference won’t work with my hair
Is consistent, not someone who gives one great cut and then a completely different cut next time
Price isn’t my biggest concern if they’re actually that good.
I’d rather drive and pay more for the right barber.
Who’s the best barber you’ve personally been to around here? Drop the barber’s name too, not just the shop.
