Toliver's Barbershop is a local shop in Columbia, SC that specializes in traditional barber services performed in a warm, friendly environment. In business for over 20 years, we've seen many men sit down in our chairs for a trim and some good quality conversation. Our barbers are here to help you feel at ease because our customers are like family and you will always feel that way when you come here. At Toliver's Barbershop, we always keep our razors sharp to ensure a clean, precise cut and we've mastered the art of trimming hair while keeping up a steady stream of conversation if that's what you're up for.

Per Google, this establishment isn't supposed to be closed until 7 pm. I'm travelling from NC to GA, and decided to give them a try since they had solid ratings. Yet, as I arrived at 5:50, the barbers tell me that they are closed for the day. This is 110% unacceptable to me! Irregardless how quiet/slow the afternoons/evenings are, you have to honor the operating hours that you approved to be set forth (and posted on these search engines/databases). The barbers both seemed like very nice people, but this is a bad look and a poor customer service practice that continues to harm many businesses. You're ultimately turning away potential customers whilst reducing the chances of them ever wanting to return. Do better.

I just left this salon after my first visit, and it will definitely be my last. Despite showing a picture to clearly communicate what I wanted, my haircut turned out absolutely terrible—worse than I could have imagined. This has to be the worst place I’ve ever gone for a haircut. It seems like they only know how to handle one specific type of hair, and when faced with anything different, they completely mess it up. Walking into this salon was a huge mistake. To make it worse, it’s also one of the most expensive haircuts I’ve ever had in northeast columbia—$40 to butcher my hair and leave me looking ridiculous. What a disappointment. Hell NOOOOOOOOO.

After so many failed visits , I came across this barber shop for my 3 year old autistic son . I have no clue about this as we did one big chop with his hair and that was it . I came in was greeted and explained my situation . The shop was packed which was a good sign , I waited in the car due to my son’ s sensory issues . When a barber was ready for us he came outside to my car and got us . Kenny was the barber who cut my son’s hair , he was patient , asked questions and made myself and my son comfortable . It was a long stressful day finding a barber but we have found ours now ! Kenny went above and beyond to accommodate me & again make my son feel comfortable because that was my main concern . 10/10 very welcoming place & great people .

My baby has been getting her cut by Trotter for the past 4-5 months. Hooks her up every time, especially with the designs. He’s very professional and dedicated to his craft. Hands down the best barber we’ve had here in Columbia.

My oldest, who is 15 and now my youngest, who is about to be 4, have been going to Mike since they were 1. It’s always great customer service, easy to schedule, little to no wait time with the appointments and the cuts always look good! My oldest refuses to let anyone else cut his hair. Always pleased, will be a customer as long as these boys need hair cuts!!

Been seeing Darius for over a year. Best barber I’ve had, you can see when someone loves what they do in the quality of their work. I’ve even had other barbers approach me asking about who cuts me

I just had my first haircut there by Darrius as a walk-in at around 4pm on a weekday. I moved to SC a year ago and have been looking for a good barber ever since. He was very professional, and I loved my haircut. I'll be going back for sure. $30 was well worth it.

Just moved to SC, looking for a Barber and came across this place. Trotter cut my hair. FAAADDDEED bro!!! Real clean place and friendly barbers. I left with the same hairstyle but a waayyy cleaner fade. Hard to find barbers that give a clean fade without changing your hairstyle. Definitely found my barber
