Reviews For Aaron’s Against the Grain Barbershop

Just moved to St Pete and had been looking for a local barber. I called Aaron based off his reviews, and when he told me I had to book our appointments a week in advance, I knew the 5 star rating was legit. Aaron cut my son’s hair, while Chris cut mine. They both were very friendly and made you feel like one of the boys as soon as we walked in. Both our haircuts came out perfect. Glad I waited to get in with them and found our new barbers on the first try. I would highly recommend.

Lived in St Pete for years, tried different barbershops, this is by far the best. Have been getting my hair cut by Aaron for awhile now, and he is the best. Super cool guy and the haircut is always great. Would recommend this place and especially Aaron to anyone looking for a haircut

Aaron (@againstthegrain727) was awesome — gave me a cool sticker right off the bat and had a really good vibe. Super chill and professional at the same time. The haircut was clean, sharp, and exactly what I wanted. You can tell he cares about his work and his clients. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a fresh cut and a great experience!

Aaron and his crew are amazing! I drove 45 mins for him just because he WAS THAT GOOD! They are excellent at making anyone look good and working with your requests! Aaron is super talented and friendly! He tries to always get you in or at least give you some help with getting what you’re looking for! Wish nothing but the best for them! Great vibes and service.

Aaron and his staff are incredible! Walked in as a new customer with nothing but style ideas and questions and walked out as a permanent patron. Aaron provided excellent advice and a perfect haircut while holding a fantastic conversation. Highly recommend!

The issue with this place is that they are so precise and the cuts are so crisp and clean. How do you expect us to be productive in life looking this delicious? I’m not supposed to call off of work today and strut my fresh cut in the city? Getting all types of compliments on it? Not a chance. In all seriousness, they are so friendly, and really know their stuff. They listen to what you want and make sure to get it all right. 15/10 would recommend.

Booked a cut for my dad with Aaron and he did an amazing job clean, sharp, and exactly what my dad wanted. The whole shop has a great vibe, and Chris was super cool too. Definitely a solid team. We’ll be back for sure!
