Dani always does a great job! She’s friendly, professional, and makes sure you leave looking your best. Highly recommend!
Had a great haircut and beard trim by Lexi.
Garrison has been cutting my hair for about a year now. Good dude and always consistent!
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.…
I had a dance today and looked great. I highly recommend this place.
Great experience at Tactical grooming. Garrison does a great job shaping up my husband’s cut every four weeks. A+rating!
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.
Krista is the best barber. Period. She does a fantastic job making me look my best even when I wasn't sure what cut I wanted. Her consistency and attention to detail is top tier. 1000% recommend.
Love getting my hair cut here at Tactical Grooming. Great place and love the environment.
Consistently perfect haircuts, clean location, great atmosphere and just downright great folk - highly recommend!!
Karen was amazing!
Great customer service. Best beard trim and straight razor shave in the county.
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…
Top notch service!
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…
Whitney Cogswell is not just a stylist—she’s a miracle worker in combat boots. My hair was left in a state of full-blown trauma after a previous “professional” turned my sparkle-free natural hair into a dull, lifeless, grey-blue catastrophe. I looked like the ghost of bad decisions past. Enter Whitney—calm,…
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!
My son and husband have been getting haircuts here for a while and it has always been great. She does an awesome job and cares about her clients.
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!
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
Great service, Krista and crew are the best in the area. Shop is clean and classic.
Krista has been cutting mine and my son’s hair for about a year now and she is the best. She helped us get our son’s hair to a perfect cut that we are so happy with. Sometimes it’s hard to know what you want until you see it and Krista nailed it.
Krista is a great hairstylist! Absolutely loved my first haircut and neck shave. She is extremely fast and worked it all with scissors. Glad to have found her! Had a misunderstanding with my son's appointment and Krista went above and beyond to make it right! Great customer service. I would definitely recommend Tactical Grooming!
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.
I've been going to Krista for a a while now and have been very pleased with the service. Recently brought in my son for his hair, he was really nervous about getting his hair cut but enjoyed his time there. He a happy and some candy for his bravery and played with the toys available there while waiting for my…
Great haircut. Paid attention to all the little details and very happy with the end result.
Great atmosphere. Krista kills it every time!
Exceptional haircuts. Customer focused. Goes above and beyond to insure hair is cut to customers complete satisfaction. As a veteran, I am pleased to support this locally veteran owned and operated small business in Madison Al
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
After reading the reviews, I decided to visit for a haircut. Easy appointment process. Found the reviews about Krista to be spot on - friendly and provided a great cut. Not only a Veteran Owned business....they provide a Veteran Discount! I have already made my next appointment.
My first actual barber after getting fed up with the chains. Great haircut. Friendly casual environment.
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.
A one star review is generous. Tactical Grooming is by far the worst grooming salon I have ever had the displeasure of patronizing. Their only goal is to service the maximum number of clients in the minimum amount of time. Their attitude is arrogant beyond imagination. I asked for a change in appointment time 15…
