The Leather Strop Barber Shop: Reviews & Ratings

Kathy nailed it - I’m a first time customer up visiting my parents from Chicago and it turns out I’m gonna have to make haircuts here a tradition everytime I come home for the weekend. She checked in throughout my haircut asking if I wanted certain things done with the hairstyle, had a great conversation, and honestly I haven’t been this happy with a haircut in awhile. Looking forward to next time!

Kathy’s great. A true artist who knows how to get you looking right! Tell her what you’re looking for and she’ll take care of the rest. She also gave great recommendations and has a nice selection of hair products as well. On top of that she did my eyebrows and mustache and also offered to trim my beard. 10/10! I’d drive an hour for a cut from her.

Kathy really does an excellent job at what she does. Great cut and conversation every time I come in. Her place is relaxed and inviting, and it is a great location right downtown. I highly recommend it to all that take their hair care seriously; whether you're traveling or looking to find a routine monthly spot.

First time I ever came home after a haircut and felt like a million bucks. Kathy did a phenomenal job with my hair. The fade looks great, my beard looks great for once, and I bought hair and beard products which I have already started using, which are also very great. Best part, was when I was waiting, the shops Frenchie, Joliene, was keeping me company. 10/10 coming back.

First time letting my hair get longer and went to Kathy with no idea what I wanted. I trusted her recommendation and after the cut, was beyond happy with my new look. Plus, just a super cool barbershop and overall vibe.

I’ve been going here for the last 2 years, Kathy always does a great job cutting my hair. I always enjoy the conversations with Kathy and seeing little Jolene the dog. The atmosphere is rustic and relaxing. I always look forward to my appointments.

The Leather Strop Barber Shop is yet another great downtown Waukesha business. The atmosphere is welcoming and relaxed (John’s Cash softly singing Get A Rhythm in the background) and Kathy (& Jolene) are very friendly. Most importantly, Kathy is very good at what she does ! I look forward to returning a few weeks from now !
