Always excellent. Best barber we’ve ever used!
I am a regular customer at Tactical Grooming. It is a true family business, and Krista ensures that you feel like part of the family when you come in. From the offering of a beverage while you wait to the great conversations, it is truly an environment that makes you feel good about being there! My haircut is…
We’ve been going to Krista at Tactical Grooming for the last few years and have been extremely satisfied! I bring in two cavemen every few months and walk out with my handsome husband and adorable son! She truly works magic! She gave my son his first haircut and has been our family barber ever since. We were nervous…
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’s skills are unparalleled! 50 yo here and I think she’s made me look 10 years younger. Beyond that, she has the best personality and makes me laugh. Try her you will not be disappointed!!!!
The best barbershop in Madison, Alabama. Always on time, always precise, and the customer service is outstanding. You will not find a better place for a beard trim or haircut in this area!
Garrison gave me a great haircut! Will be coming back!!
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!
Tactical Grooming is a great new Barbour shop in Madison. Easy to book an appointment and the location is great. Friendly staff and a great atmosphere. Love going here.
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!
Moving from the west coast, it took me forever to find a person I could trust to cut my hair and have that personal connection. I highly recommend Krista and Tactical Grooming. They will have my business for many many years. 10/10
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
Awesome skills and great personality. App let me pick my own appointment time and she got me in earlier. Really pays attention to detail. OCD like me! She gets it.
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.
Krista Nixon is the absolute best when it comes to fades, she has yet to disappoint me , she is honestly best barber I've ever had. You can also tell she takes pride in her work and it definitely shows!!!! I definitely recommend Tactical Grooming for all your fade needs!!
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.
