The Barber Story

"Chris is simply the best! Great barber and a great shop.....and he is a hellva good guy! I will never have my haircut done anywhere else!"

"The Barber Story is the best barbershop in the valley! Super clean and all the barbers are great! Chris the owner is great and I leave with an amazing haircut! Worth the price every time!"

"An ideal place for long-term hair styling. The barbers here put care and craft into each appointment, and in addition to that they are incredibly personable. Each of them are fantastic at making conversation, finding common interests, and creating connections as they give you amazing haircuts. My family has been going here frequently for 4 years and we have left each visit satisfied with our fresh hair and excited for the next time to talk with such exciting personalities."

"We love the Barber Story!! Everyone walks out looking dapper! My very particular son has been going to Jimbo for 4 years and has left his chair confident and happy everytime. Every barber is solid in this shop."

"The Barber Story is a shop nestled into Latah St in Boise, Idaho. I made an appointment with the owner, Chris Bentley to take my undercut back down to skin. When I arrived, I was greeted with a warm welcome and instantly felt like I had just met back up with an old friend. Chris has what I can only describe as an "Edward Norton-esque" enthusiasm for life and people. I was able to talk to him in between appointments and the passion he has for his business really inspired me. We talked about the goal of The Barber Story and Chris expressed the desire to have the shop be a modern barber experience. I asked him what that meant to him. He whipped out his phone and showed me a menu he had seen with both men and women's hair options on them, illustrated with pictures. Then went on to say that he wants a clean lined, positive environment where both men and women feel welcome to come. To get away from the "man cave" stigma that surrounds barber shop mentality. I completely agree with his assessment. As a woman with short hair for the last couple of years, I would go into barber shops to have my hair cut or undercut straight razored and the mood changed when I walked through the door. I felt the opposite when entering The Barber Story and LOVE the service I received. Both barbers in The Barber Story were friendly, engaging with their clients, and took time to educate about styling/products to achieve the ideal finished look. I highly recommend them for any of your hair cutting needs. Thanks for letting me hang out and get to know you, guys!"
