Steel Blade Men's Salon

I highly recommend this amazing business. My husband has been a client since the beginning. He sees Brandi, one of the two owners, and they have forged a wonderful friendship and bond. While the company is owned by two marvelous women…let me be clear- they poured their time, thoughts and efforts into everything here. The facility is beautiful and all the professionals here know how to be exceptional. The quality and services here are exactly what you need and will want after your first visit.

One of the true gems in Albuquerque. Both of the owners are locals who take pride in providing an exceptional experience for their patrons. You really feel welcomed here from the minute you walk in the door & there is a stylist taylored for everyone. The staff is extremely friendly & professional & the environment is warm & relaxing. Definately a step above the commercial franchises. They provide a wide array of services from haircuts, (razor) beard trims, facials, scalp treatments, hair coloring, etc. A co-worker of mine recommended this place to me, & my stylist April was amazing. She really has a passion for haircutting & it shows in her work. If you like supporting local businesses & are looking for a place to fulfill your grooming & styling needs, give them a try, you won't be disappointed.

Used to be a great place. However prices have gone up. Their phone system times has been had to make appointments for. If I’m gonna pay $80.00 for a haircut. They could at least staff the phones. The last appointment the receptionist was rude. Been going there for a two years and it’s probably time to make a change. I’m not going to work through their website to make an appointment.every time. And deal with AI receptionist for a high priced haircut.

I cannot in good conscience give this shop a great review. I've done about 3 or 4 appointments since June. I've seen 3 maybe 4 different barbers. They either know how to cut hair, or trim a beard. Never both and never great either. Nisha was the exception to the rule and the best there, who seems to no longer hold employment. The pricing is outrageous for the lack of consistent quality. Save yourself the trip.

It had been maybe 2 years since I had last gotten my hair cut and really needed to freshen up. Before, I was worried because simply going to a normal barbershop usually meant they would just take clippers to my hair, but finding this place was a lifesaver. My stylist, April, was very accommodating and kind, and knew how to make conversation. While I generally knew what I wanted to do with my hair, she made sure it actually came out good as I have no experience in regards to cutting hair. All in all, my curls were given life again and I am more than happy. I will be returning.

I came to Steel Blade Men's Salon to hey a semi-drastic beard trim for my brothers wedding, expecting a typical "Barber shop" environment/experience. What I walked into was a beautifully elegant atmosphere that was pleasing to all of the senses. I was greeted and promptly checked in, escorted to the most comfortable, accommodating waiting area I have ever had the pleasure of sitting in. I had a complimentary drink and snack during my short wait. Once my stylist, Mateo, was ready, he personally walked me to the styling area, as he asked if I took advantage of the refreshments. Mateo was kind, gentle, and accommodating in every way possible, creating an unbelievably comfortable environment. He was receptive of what I wanted for my beard trim, asking detailed questions to clarify exactly what I was needing. I can't wait to come back and receive more spectacular service. Thank you, Mateo!

This place is adequate if you don’t care who your stylist is. The turnover is high, communication is poor, and there is obvious pressure to move clients through quickly. The last issue for me was that the stylist who cut my hair had already given notice at the time of my previous appointment, yet they still booked me with her. They did not inform me that my appointment would be reassigned until I arrived. Staff gave an unconvincing explanation about my account being linked to my son’s, which doesn’t make sense given the number of emails and texts they send directly to me. In short, the haircuts were fine, but the business owner handled the situation poorly.
