After five months of a hectic school schedule work schedule and neglecting my appearance today I decided to go to this barbershop and try them out. From the instant you walk in everyone is ready to help you with whatever you need today, Rudy the owner gave me my haircut and there are no words to describe how satisfied I am with not only the result, but with the service in itself, he was knowledgeable and understood exactly what it is that I wanted, and I left feeling more fresher than ever so firstly I’d like to say thank you and secondly, definitely give this shop a try. They are hands-down one of the best barbers I’ve been to in a while.

We already love this place because they always do such a fantastic job on my husband’s hair, so we decided to trust them with our son’s very first haircut. I was a little nervous, but they were absolutely amazing! They made the entire experience so calm and fun for him that the first cut went off with zero stress. It was an overall amazing experience from start to finish. We couldn't be happier and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!

DMITRY DID AN AMAZING JOB. Had an amazing experience at Ace of Fades! Took my son in for a haircut, and the barber was patient, friendly, and great with kids. The cut came out exactly how we wanted it, and the attention to detail was excellent. The shop was clean, professional, and had a great atmosphere. My son left smiling and feeling confident. We’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a quality kids’ haircut!

New to the area & I walked in for the first time, Boris greeted me on my way in and blessed me with a great haircut for an even greater price!! I was in & out within 30 mins. Very professional and funny, he had me trying to hold in my laughter a few times, he also greeted everybody that walked into the shop, which is rare nowadays.

I just had my first experience at Ace of Spades and it was excellent. Steve did a great job on my haircut and was very friendly and accommodating. The place itself is also very clean and modern. Although, it is pretty expensive compared to other barbershops. But in my opinion it is definitely worth it. I highly recommend checking this place out if you need a haircut.

Chris just gave my 2.5 year old a hair cut and it was amazing. The first time I took him and he didn’t cry and he hardly moved. Chris was patient and understanding and he was able to get an even hair cut on my toddler. This is the first time I don’t have to go home and recut all the uneven pieces. Thank you Chris and Ace of Fades!
Boris is the man gives a great haircut and very welcoming , will be coming back with my family !!

Very happy with my son’s first experience at a barber shop. At first my son was a little upset to get his haircut but Egi got him comfortable and talked him through his his whole haircut, he showed him how to sit and move his head and made sure my son was comfortable and happy. My son sat there for the whole haircut not needing me to hold him and no tears! We will be back!

Ralph is a friendly barber, have only been to this shop twice and had a great experience both times I had Ralph. Its usually a walk in shop with plenty of barbers and haircut prices are very reasonable.

Discovered this place for my first haircut after the pandemic started, it’s a bit pricier than some of the other barber shops in the area but you get what you pay for. Even after an ownership change, good vibes and good barbers make it well worth the price. I’ve gotten some of the best haircuts in my life over here at Ace.

Rudy did a great job on my sons hair who has a cowlick and is usually difficult to get a good cut with. He also does my other sons hair who is 5 and usually hates haircuts but is good at this barber.

Steve is hands down the best barber in town. His cuts are always on point, and it's always a great experience. In my book, he's got the golden touch. Ace of Fades is the only shop I trust.

Needed a new Barber, got a haircut from Rudy who did a great job and gave me useful tips for styling. Price is fair at 40$, shop is clean and has a good vibe, definitely recommended!
