The Local Shoppe (James Island)

Found my new barber shop. Great vibes in this place and the free drink was a nice touch. Had a good conversation and an even better cut from Kelsey. She's a total pro and gave me a better haircut in under 30 minutes than I've had in twice the time at other shops. Can't wait for the West Ashley location to open up next month!

I received a haircut here last year on the 4th of April. I initially booked with Kelsey due to her outstanding reviews and extensive experience with the expectation that I would be seeing her. Unfortunately, two days before my appointment with her, I was manually switched to Cali, which I did not confirm or select, which means the store switched me to her without confirmation. (See pictures below for proof) While Cali gave me a decent cut, I had the expectation of going with the most experienced barber which I selected prior. I didn't appreciate this being switched up, and after reviewing the comments it seems as if this is a standard practice here. I didn't receive the shampoo that was advertised with the full cut, nor was I offered a complimentary beverage. All in all I was disappoint

Love this place! Vibes are awesome and everyone is very inviting. Ellery does my husband's hair and I couldn't be happier! They really listen to their clients and try to make you as comfortable as possible. Highly recommend

This is 100% my favorite local barber shop around! Super laid back atmosphere and my barber Denise does amazing/consistent work! I have been seeing her for about 2 years and only have great things to say - I would highly recommend her or any of the talented barbers they have!

The Local Shoppe is the best barbershop in Charleston. Period. I've been going for over a year now, and while Kelsey locked in on my cut and style nearly immediately, she somehow continues to impress even more on each visit. I've sat in Ellery's chair for a scissor cut and she is wonderful as well. Whether you need a tight knight fade or some flowy action with the shears, they DO NOT MISS. The ladies are all awesome and its a great energy from the moment you step inside. If you're new to town or looking to switch things up, don't think twice. This is your spot.
