    **Review of King Blades**After moving to Tampa, I discovered King Blades on Dale Mabry Highway, and I couldnt be more impressed. This establishment is exceptionally clean and maintains a high level of professionalism. The building is well-kept, and they have an organized flow of customers, which speaks to their efficiency.The tools they use are spotless, reflecting their commitment to hygiene and quality. Additionally, the staff is multilingual and incredibly kind, making the experience even more welcoming. I honestly don’t think I’ve ever seen scissors move with such precision and speed!Overall, I would give King Blades a 10/10 and will definitely be returning. I highly recommend it!

    King of Blades Barbershop treats you like royalty from the moment you enter, making it very welcoming. The barbers are skilled in current trends and haircut styles, providing excellent customer service, engaging conversation, and attention to detail. I will definitely return and recommend them to others.

  • Review 4 (2024-07-25 - Rating: 5)

    Just moved to Tampa and happened to find this place. I got my cut and beard from Sam and he was amazing to say the least. He listened to me when I asked for what kind of haircut style I wanted and executed it perfectly to my satisfaction. He was patient, and very professional and his skill is amazing. I will definitely be returning to Sam for his excellent services. If you’re new to the area or just looking for change, I highly recommend giving Sam a try!

    Rafa was the man he took me in and when I left the shop I was looking so sharp Eli cut my hair last time and it came out amazing also. Always satisfying getting my cut here! These guys pay fine attention to detail and care about how you look.

    I am so impressed with this place. I have went all over and have not found a shop of this caliber. Kai spoiled me with her southern charm and made my day with a hot towel and a back massage. I will definitely be back for more. Good vibe , very clean shop, and neighborhood friendly atmosphere. Plus the name is legendary. See you next month !

    One guy doesn’t like kids or had a bad day. Won’t name him. But will nameRAFAEL. Been taking my son to him since he was 2.5. Before and afters. My son is hit or miss on fear of haircuts. Rafael knows how to make babes feel safe. Thanks Rafa for always taking great care of my baby! Walks in a hot mess. Walks out a sharp stud, and feeling happy and comfortable because of your warm nature with kids. Thank you!

  • Review 15 (2024-01-30 - Rating: 5)

    Rafa was awesome!! I came in with my son not knowing anything about cuts for boys. His hair was mid back ish and he LOVES his long hair. He was nervous getting it cut. I showed Rafa reference pics and he nailed it. My son said to me “Mom, this is my most favorite hair cut ever”. Rafa was kind, respectful and patient.

    I believe that this barber is the best in my neighborhood

  • Review 23 (2024-01-10 - Rating: 5)

    Its been great coming here. Moved to Tampa and needed a new barber. Then I found one and hes from the same city as me. Which made me feel better about leaving my old barber. We all know its like a relationship break up when you have to tell your old barber this is your last time coming lmao 🤣 😂 . But we got through it no fights lol. 🤣🤣🤣. My old barber understood! Nevertheless, Zae the Barber has been my barber since! Good dude, a family man, and very respectful 🙏🏿 👏 🙌 👍 👌 💪🏿. On a funny note. I hope I dont have to move again because that was torture breaking up with my last barber lmao🤣. I hope Ive made someone laugh and smile after reading this! If you a male you know how true and weird this is lmao 🤣. Barbers are life savers and are needed. They keep us CRISPY AND LOOKING GOOD FOR WORK AND OUR WIVES, ETC!

    Love coming here! From the first day I was sold! Walked in and Tasha hooked me up, gave me her card to make future appointments. Started bringing my son shortly after and she ALWAYS takes care of the both of us! She also takes care of anyone else who comes in who doesn’t have a specific barber and is looking to get cut! Good ppl, good atmosphere, good vibes!
