Aili and her shop is the best in the business. I’ve been going to see Aili since 2019 and I always feel welcome and safe as a queer boded person. It’s always a question with other shops, but Aili runs her shop with kindness, love and a sprinkling of no bullshit. If you’re looking for a safe barber space (with excellent service) as a non-binary, trans, masc of center human - go see Aili at Homme 💕

I followed my barber to HOMME, driving over two hours for cuts in the past. Now that I’m local, I’ve been getting my hair cut by Noe. He always delivers exactly what I’m looking for and has been super flexible when I’ve wanted to try something new—like a mohawk! Noe’s attention to detail and willingness to ensure I’m happy with the final result is unmatched. He's the best! The shop itself is incredible. It has a fantastic vibe with tons of plants and strategically placed alcohol that adds a unique and stylish touch. The owner, Aili, is amazing—always so kind and welcoming. Her dog, Shadow, is the perfect greeter, adding to the warm, local feel of the space. Both Noe and Aili go above and beyond to make clients feel comfortable and at home. Pro tips: Give yourself enough time to find parking, and don’t forget that HOMME is cash-only—come prepared! The experience is absolutely worth it. I can’t recommend Noe and Aili enough!

Noe was awesome. I went in for the first time to get my haircut with him, but when I got home I realized it wasn't quite what I wanted. So I went back the same afternoon, and Noe welcomed me back and fixed it with a smile on his face. Highly recommended!

My first cut w/Ali was awesome. Ali and Nöe are super friendly and approachable. The vibe in the shop is relaxed. Even though I went in for a Clean Up Cut, Ali was thoughtful and professional. Ali asked questions throughout the cut, working in stages and checking in w/me to ensure I was satisfied w/the progress of the cut. Ultimately, Ali is my new barber and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to those seeking a barber cut.

Had a wonderful cut the other day by Aili. Took the time to listen to my thoughts and asked a ton of questions. Relaxed vibe. Best first haircut I’ve ever gotten. As a masc non binary person I don’t always have good experiences in barbershops but Aili was awesome. Will be back!
