Efficient service and the space was clean. The layout is very open and modern, nice vibes! I would’ve liked for my stylist to ask me more questions (how short do you want you hair, which side would you like your line on, etc) before starting on my head, especially as a first time customer. I liked my cut at the end of the day but think the communication could have been better. Definitely worth giving them a shot and see how you like it!

Absolutely love this place. Also, Rock is one of the kindest, most professional barbers I've ever met in my life. Thank you for being wonderful, and thank you for all the cooking tips!

Rock’s is hands down the best barbershop in Durham. The consistency here is unreal—I’ve never been to a place where every cut is top-tier every single time. The professionalism is unmatched, and the attention to detail is incredible. The free beer is a nice bonus, but the real reason to come here is the quality of the cuts and the overall experience. Nate is the best!!

Man do I love this place. Highlight of my month coming here to get a haircut from Mel and forgetting about my college life worries. Such a relaxing atmosphere, and every single person is a sweetheart. 11/10, would recommend.

I went to Rock’s to get my haircut by someone other than my usual barber for the first time in about 12 years. Let me say, NATE is amazing! Very personable, super fun to talk with, and an amazing barber. He did exactly what I asked. Very detail-oriented and asked about each step before proceeding. I will be returning.

I can’t recommend this shop enough. Everyone is very friendly and inviting but i want to talk about Tony. Tony is exceptional! Not only is he a talented and passionate hair stylist, but he’s also an incredibly kind and thoughtful person.
I needed specialized care due to wearing a hair unit, and Tony consistently went above and beyond to make sure I felt completely comfortable and well taken care of. His impeccable attention to detail, excellent communication, and commitment to providing the best care possible truly set him apart.
Tony worked tirelessly over several appointments, fine-tuning my haircut each time until it was absolutely perfect. By our second session, it was clear to me that Tony is deeply dedicated to his craft and always strives to be the best. In my eyes, he’s the best there is.
I always looked forward to my appointments with him, and thanks to Tony, I’ve been able to experience having hair again after many years. For that, I’m incredibly grateful. Thank you, Tony, for everything!

Nathan R is simply the best! Couldn't be happier with my cut and I had a lot of fun working with him. Wife, friends, and co workers all have complimented me. Nathan made me feel welcome and I can't wait to go back!

Rock is an amazing woman. She is talented and a complete joy to be around. I love taking my kids as well as myself. A free beer with a haircut is a great way to start the day

Really nice place, really nice people, they take the time and put in the effort, which is rare these days when it comes to mens cuts. Stylist was awesome as was every staff member I interacted with. Will be my go to spot now.

This is long overdue. Before moving out of Durham a few months ago, I was getting my hair cut by Jenna for over two years. Jenna is great, very attentive to your needs and personable/friendly. I always looked forward to my haircuts because of her. I highly recommend Jenna! The shop staff are also very nice and welcoming.

After a scheduling mixup, the manager immediately called and worked it out with me. I was very impressed with her sincerity and professionalism, and then I got a wonderful cut by one of the senior stylists there who couldn’t have been friendlier. Highly recommend.

Highly recommend! Went here for the first time yesterday and had a really pleasant experience so I will certainly be returning.
I was wanting to try a new style and was hoping for some professional and personalized suggestions, and that is exactly what I got. My stylist, Rock, took their time to discuss my options with me, and other stylists (Rachael and Tyee) were also happy to provide insight. I really appreciated how caring, thoughtful, and validating Rock and the other stylists were—I had walked in there feeling nervous, but left feeling confident.
Many reviews mention this place being “expensive”, but I would have to disagree. For $35, I got a cut, style, wash/shampoo, and a pint of craft beer. I had previously gone to GreatClips, and a cut always cost me $25 with tip. The wash, beer, and professional yet warm/caring treatment are more than worth the extra $10. Also, the atmosphere of Rocks itself was very cool, which added to the experience.
If all you want is a quick, basic cut for as cheap as possible, go to GreatClips. But if you want to get professional insight on new styles, to be treated with warmth and care, or to get anything beyond a simple trim, go to Rock’s.

Went in yesterday and the check in was super easy and the wait was very short. Everyone there was super helpful and kind, The haircut was exceptional, I had long hair and decided to get it cut short, it turned out great and I'm super happy with the way it looks! A great experience all around and I will definitely be sure to come back regularly.

I went to the same person for 10 years before she retired, and I've been looking for years for someone new, and Jenna is it for me. My hair can be very difficult to cut correctly, and she absolutely nailed it. She will be cutting my hair for as long as she works here. Also, for anyone that doesn't drink and isn't sure about the complimentary beer, I simply told them I wasn't interested, and it was perfectly fine, no pressure whatsoever.

I've had my hair cut at Rock's by April for the past three years and she has been fantastic. Always listens and responds to feedback to make sure my haircut is exactly how I envision. Her attention to detail and thoroughness are top notch. On top of that, Rock's is just a fun place to get my hair cut. Only reason I won't be going back is we're moving 😭
