2b Groomed Studios

I started going to 2 B Groomed close to 2 years ago and it's a decision that I haven't regretted. It's a great shop with a wondeful ambience and that's not to mention the top of the line service that's provided by Jahmal and his staff. They really give great.personalized service and they are definitely one of Philly's hidden gems. I can see why he won "" Best of Philly "" in the Philadelphia Magazine two years ago. Pros: ambience, staff,good service, total professionalism. more

I went in for a shave and face was completely cut up! My face actually has cuts, and I'm sure that they will not heal for a week! Can't speak for the quality of the haircut, but stay far away from the straight-edge shave! They also offer a shave with a ""three-blade razor"", which is a unique way of saying ""Gillette Sensor"". A different person does this, I believe. The people, though, were nice, and they have a clean shop. Pros: Nice, courteous staff; clean environment; generally well kept shop Cons: Prices were a bit high; no expertise in giving a man's shave more

For years I've always cut my own hair. I was very nervous about having another person cut and style my hair. I had heard from a few people in the neighborhood that 2B Groomed was a great place. I was extremely impressed with the service I had gotten from Jamal. He was very professional and friendly. He was very detailed oriented. I was very happy with my haircut and coming from a person who did his own hair for over 10 years that says alot! I refer my friends to him as well and I plan on having Jamal cut my hair from now on. I wish i knew about this site sooner. Jamal has been cutting my hair since November 2006. Just came back from getting my haircut there today. I highly recommed him. more

My hair has been difficult to cut all my life so I appreciate a good barber. The owner was meticulous and nailed the cut the very first time I saw him just from a few quick instructions. Usually, I need to let my haircut grow out for a few days to be happy, but I was looking good the minute he put down his shears. Pros: Excellent job. Classy, intimate atmosphere Cons: Not cheap, but few good things are. Plus I get my hair cut every 6-8 weeks more

I just got back from my first haircut at 2B (stylist: Mary) and I'm very pleased. I called today and got in 1/2 hour later. The service was very warm and attitude-free. This is a small, neighborhood place that's classier than your typical barber shop but not as fancy as your typical salon (which is fine by me!) Mary was very meticulous and unrushed, which is rare these days. A shampoo rinse was included in the price ($25; $22 for 1st time customers) and it was more than just a quick scrub down--she incorporated a little temple massage which was a nice and much-needed treat. The cut turned out great and just how I wanted it. She asked for feedback and made a change I recommended in a friendly manner. The owner was a nice guy too. Apparently they also do straight-edge razor shaving, which I can't wait to try, and body waxing. I'm definitely going to 2B next time! Pros: Detail-oriented, great cut, decent price Cons: Just 2 chairs, so phone ahead more
