Garrison has been cutting my hair for about a year now. Good dude and always consistent!
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!!!!
Great experience at Tactical grooming. Garrison does a great job shaping up my husband’s cut every four weeks. A+rating!
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.
Karen was amazing!
Great customer service. Best beard trim and straight razor shave in the county.
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!
Awesome experience! The barbershop had a cool, welcoming vibe and the staff was friendly and professional. Krista gave me one of the best cuts I’ve ever had—sharp, clean, and exactly what I wanted. And Randy gave me a shave smoother than a baby's butt 😁 Great atmosphere, great service. I’ll definitely be back!
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
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
Tactical Grooming is by far the best barbershop I have ever been to. Appointments with Krista are timely, efficient, and her attention to detail is amazing. Moving to the Huntsville/Madison area 3 years ago, I had a very tough time finding a barber I could trust and Tactical exceeded my expectations. The shop is…
Absolutely the best in the area. They provide great service and they offer a Military/First Responder discount. Great quality haircuts and a it is a locally owned business.
Best barbershop around! Krista took me from looking wild to looking good!
Krista is amazing! She works very hard to make sure everyone is comfortable in her chair. Krista is very passionate about her work and it shows through how well she treats everyone and how good she is at cutting hair.
The best haircut I have ever received, with even better customer service. Highly recommend going to this place.
Tactical Grooming is a fantastic barbershop. It’s a fun, monthly experience for me to take my sons there and get our haircuts from Krista.
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!!
Update to original review: uncomfortable environment, the owner stared at me through her mirror the entire haircut, evidently eavesdropping on my entire conversation with my barber. It was very uncomfortable and made me hesitant to re-book my next appointment. I’m glad I didn’t because I found out my by preferred…
