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…

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!!!!

Needed a haircut today and found these guys down the road from where I live, as a veteran I was like let's go! Walked in and Garrison greeted me warmly and sat me down. Through out the whole cut we were just talking and chatting as if we'd known each other already. Very happy with the experience, and an impeccable cut. Can't wait to come back!

I just left my first appointment with Krista. After searching for a barber in this town for two years and paying $60+ for uneven, sometimes choppy cuts at other local shops, I came to this appointment with low expectations. I told Krista what I wanted. A simple, clean, neat, classic haircut, like Ronald Reagan.…

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.

Been visiting for a while now for a low bald fade. Started with Krista who is great. Karen is also fantastic and gives an awesome fade; she is my new usual. Definitely worth a stop in and to make it your regular barber.

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…
