Garrison has been cutting my hair for about a year now. Good dude and always consistent!
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’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!!!!
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.
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.
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!
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!
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.
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.
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.
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!
