Had a great haircut and beard trim by Lexi.
Tactical grooming is awesome, I haven’t ever left without being happy with the service. They offer refreshments, are flexible, and do a great job. Can’t recommend them enough !
I've been going to Krista for over a year and she's fantastic. Communication before and after appointments are always prompt. She's always willing to work with you on your schedule. And, of course, the banter during the haircut is usually top-notch!
Garrison and Lexi did fantastic! Friendly and professional staff that go out of their way to make sure you’re comfortable, happy with your cut, and have the best experience possible! Best experience I’ve ever had! Their line of beard grooming products is second to none. My beard has never felt better. Will keep being a repeat customer!
Krista at Tactical Grooming has cut my hair every two weeks for over two years now and every time it’s the highlight of my week. She always does an excellent job and takes great pride in her work. As a fellow Veteran Business owner, I am glad to support local small business and refer this shop to my friends. I highly recommend Tactical Grooming!
Best in Madison/Huntsville! I've been going here for over a year now and won't go anywhere else. Dependable, flexible scheduling, awesome atmosphere, first-responder/military friendly. The products they sell are great too; they smell great and last a long time. Krista and the team truly take care of their people and take pride in their craft.
Great customer service. Best beard trim and straight razor shave in the county.
Karen was awesome. She was very personable and took the time to ensure that we were on the right track for what I was looking for. Not only did she cut my hair but she also did an awesome job on my facial hair. I have never had a beard that was this nicely groomed. It is safe to say that she will be the only one…
Very pleasant experience. Miss Whitney greeted me as I entered even tho she was working with her present client. She didn’t ignore her work in order to do so. I had the same level of attention when it was my turn in the chair. Appreciate the nod to veterans with the decorations throughout. Will be returning again…
A fantastic experience all around! We have been seeing Krista for months now for family haircuts. The kids love going, and the haircuts are top quality. This is an incredible small business that is awesome to support. Recommended with 5 stars for sure!
Great service, Krista and crew are the best in the area. Shop is clean and classic.
Krista did amazing job with Beard trim, hair cut and some waxing work. I really recommend this place.
Excellent experience. Recomended for fellows with bold head. Great shave.
First time customer. Went in for a beard shapeup. Krista was fantastic. I let her decide what was best and it came out great. No way I could do it myself at home... Go see her and you won't be disappointed... Thank you Krista, from your "Nutcracker"... 😉
Great atmosphere. Krista kills it every time!
Krista will take great care of you, you’d be hard pressed to find a better barber. She provides quick and clean service and will make sure you leave looking the way that you want
12 stars.. Do yourself a favor and go see Krista and let her do her thing! I refuse to believe it gets any better..
Great place. Great service. Krista is fantastic and provides the best barber service I have ever had.
Haircut was personal and awesome. Great price! Talked enough but not too much. Atmosphere was great. Love the beard products too!!!
Absolutely fantastic service at this barbershop! They also do a wonderful job with lining up and cleaning up beards. This will be my go to barber for the foreseeable future!
Julia was very friendly and very attentive to what I was asking for. She was fast and so so nice. She did a fantastic job and my hair and especially my beard. Very clean shop and Krista was very nice as well. Super experience.
I have issues with the normal hair cutter scene. Julia and her Co workers have always made me feel comfortable and they have always given me an awesome shearing. I absolutely enjoy making my next appointment and bang its imported straight into my calendar with 3 button taps. Will continue my shearings every 3 weeks. - SeaDragon
A very attractive and very sweet young lady named Julia Miracle did a awesome job on my fade and beard. The atmosphere and her very calm demeanor had me about asleep in her chair. I'm a veteran so it's extremely difficult to get me as calm as I was. It was kinda pricey where I'm used to paying $20 for a beard trim…
Best barbershop around! Krista took me from looking wild to looking good!
Excellent results, will definitely be back!
Krista always does a great job with everything. I had never had a hot towel shave before a few months ago when made my first visit here and thoroughly enjoyed it. Along with a beard trim and haircut it's always a good experience.
The best haircut I have ever received, with even better customer service. Highly recommend going to this place.
I rarely do reviews. Typically, the reviews I do are not favorable. This one is an exception. Tactical Grooming (Krista - proprietor) is a young business who takes great pride in delivering excellence in a number of grooming services. As the name implies, the establishment caters to former military personnel…
Melody is awesome! Always does a great job cutting my hair. Highly recommend Tactical Grooming. I got a hair cut and a shave. Melody did a great job saving me from having an embarrassing chin strap… just not something I need in my life. Thanks again for doing a great job!
Krista made me look good. She took care of my wild hair, my crazy eyebrows and my unruly but epic beard. It has been three years since I was at a barber due to one chopping off my beard. Krista made me feel comfortable and has gained my trust. Tacticle Grooming is awesome.
This was my first time visiting this barber, and I definitely will be going back more as my time there was excellent.
Krista always does a fantastic job on my beard and haircut every time I have received one from her! She has helped me try to find a style that suits me, and is happy and willing every time I want to try something new or different. Strongly recommend!
Krista gives the best hair cuts and beard trims. She is always super friendly and I would recommend her over any other barber
Krista is amazing. Started going to see her when she worked at her old location. So happy to see her and Corey have their own business now. It's the same great customer service and persoanlity, without all the corporate drama and overhead. The prices are a little higher than her last location, but for me (and…
